\ PAGE HOW YOUNG GIRLS STUDY THE
FOR Ill HINDOO METHOD O. REST
MISSES = AMI RELAXATION

~F'
- HAT there is a great deal of good in the old
Hindu philosophy of rest and relaxation is
truth that has again been demonstrated by
two circumstances of recent happening. One
of these is the fact that many young girls.
girls young ten or twelve years of age find it
necessary retire from active school work mental
and physical exertion of any kind temporarily, and
take a rest cure, just the jaded society woman
wthdraws from her social activities to recuperate
and during the retirement they taught the value
of absolute relaxation. The other is that simulta
neously with the scientific study of rest and relaxa
ton by the young girl of to-day, the Yogi treatment
and philosophy brought into prominence by the
leaders in the Emmanuel movement, who rely upon
this old Hindu method for restoring the mind and
body to natural and healthful condition. Yogi
breathing, Yogi physical exercises and Yogi phloso
ply of relaxation are made feature of the practical
side of the Emmanuel treatment of certain and
this form of treatment is proved to be beneficial in
restoring wasted mental and physical force that the
method is being applied to young persons the
idea being that the girl learns how to rest
and relax scientifically the stronger will be her vital
y and the better will be her ability to withstand the
strain that modern life puts upon the individual.
L Is not because girls are breaking down earlier
| or are showing a loss of force younger
age than formerly that they being taught how
to take of themselves after the Oriental fashion,
but because parents and guardians that it is
essential for them to learn early possible the
value Of this quaint and simple philosophy which
has been practsed centuries upon centuries and has
brought about excellent results The difficulty
perienced by grown person in learning to relax
properly and to rest perfectly is multiplied by that
persons years 1t follows quite naturally then, that
the earlier begins studying this science the easier
it to and the greater its advantages
all during life.
Besides the beneficial effects derived from the
practice of Hindu philosophy and physical exercises
the idea of the science cannot fail to appeal to the
young girl The principle Of the treatment is simple
to understand and the rules easy to follow, while
the results are nearly always immediate enough to
be encouraging and to stimulate interest in the cult
One of the hardest things to do is to relax COM
pletely. Some persons think they letting go Of
their muscles, but in reality they not. Instead
the majority of their muscles tense and it is
almost impossible to get them to relax after
series Of mental and physical treatments. Relaxing
is partly mental, that youthful minds easier
to treat than mature ones.

breathing is essential to perfect repose. With the

Instead of expanding the chest first as you breathe

abdomen then dropping the lower part OF the chest
and finally allowing the upper part to fall as much as

April Grandmother when the door had closed behind

voice 1t is restfu to listen to- probably because
she has always lived in quiet atmospheric con-
dition that is almost certain to have its effect upon
the voice
while the American climate undoubtedly has
something to do with the nasal quality of voices,
and particularly in those regions where high winds
prevail, its pitch is usually due to lack of training
In youth for NEST children have sweet pleasantly
noduated tones. The fact that they begin to lose
this charm when they old enough to attend
school may be traced to their teachers, who them
selves very poor speakers and rarely realize the fact
until they no abroad and witness the raspihg effect
of their voices upon the nerves of people of other
lands.
"My sisters and myself naturally had good voices"
continued the April Grandmother, "but unfortunately
we were sent to private school conducted by New

There is less of strain the mind and muscle and
they become tonic. Many young girls grow enthu-
siastic simple exercises at first, then they lose
interest and If they do continue the physical move

result is that the exercises, taken in this way are
hardly better than at all. 1t is most important
that the mind and the body work together and that
the mind help the muscles to make the movements
just it helps them to relax
Nearly all these simple exercises taken In
standing position with the feet spread little apart

expanded and the abdomen drawn in. This is the way
to start. Then, if you to begin with easy

more wholesome your mental attitude. 1t is easy
to do, takes little time, requires apparatus
and be taken any moment during the day when
you can lie down. at night before going to sleep or
in the morning OF course it is less important as
restorer of brain and muscle when taken in the
morning, but the breathing exercises never come
amiss and it is excellent plan to fill the entire
lung section with pure fresh air before starting the

Thirty minutes after the opening of

permanent Speaker was in his place,
the House was working under it's adopt
ed rules, the members had all been
sworn in and accredited by the Com
mittee on Credentials and everyone was
squared around to proceed With the

jammed with spectators, including the
members of the senior classes of the
Normal school, many visiting tourists
and great many prominent politicians.
Temporary Speaker Alfonso, on mo-
ton of Rice, named the mover, Naka-
leha and Furtado committee on Gre

to notify him that the elected members
were ready to be sworn in. It was a

the Chief Justice and escort him in,
while everyone stood as the oath was
administered. The regular organiza.

and ready to proceed. Senator Coelho
moved that the House of Representa-
t;ves be notified that the Senate was
organized, but the motion of Knudsen
to wait upon the Governor was given
precedence, the committee being com
posed of Senators Knudsen, Brown and
Harvey. 1t was at twenty minutes to
II O'Clock that the committee went
upstairs to the Governor s office. Upon
the committee s return Senator KnuGi-
sen stated that the Governor compli-
merted the Senate on its speedy or

be delivered shortly. A recess was
taken at the call of the chair and was
resumed when President Smith was in
