LAST CHANGE
TO SEE HIM
OPPOSITE THE CITY HALL
IN THE WINDOW
The Human Automaton Will
Demonstrate Three Times To-
day, Between II and and
from Q to S, and 7 to 9
in the Evening

For the past week there has been
shown in the window of the BART
LETT MUSIC CO.'S store, just oppo-
site the City Hall, the Human Autom-
atom. A great many people have
been unable to tell whether it was a
wax figure or a real man, and we are
afraid some people have lost on the
proposition by wagering a sum of
money that HE or 1T is or is not alive.
Not only does this Automaton, or
man, whichever it may be. amuse the
public by his appearance, but enter
tains them by making the finest music
which has ever been heard in Los An
geles outside of pay concert. Seated
at an AUTO-PIANO and assisted by
Master Harry Lewis, he produces not
only rag-time and popular music by
merely using his feet, but executes the
classic music of the great masters in
an artistic manner.
Entertainments have been given
every day during the past week from
II a. m. to 1 p. m. and from to p.
m. Today Saturday there will be
three performances, the additional one
being given from to p. m. These
entertainments are free and worth a
trip of many miles to see Try and do
yourself the justice of at least making
one visit and hear the wonderful AU-
TOPIANO played by this Human Au-
tomaton.

Beautiful Carriage and How to Obtain 1t;
Poise of Both Body and Mind Are Essential

lean ever So slightly to the side of the
leg that bears the weight, and SO show
natures line of beauty
Another exercise, which will help
you to be graceful, is equally simple.
Put the body's weight on both feet,
heels together toes apart. At the
waistline rotate the body to the right
as you simultaneously turn the head
to the left Be sure that this rota-
ton is made by the waist and not by
the thighs. Now turn about, rotating
the body to the left and the head to
the right. Practice until you secure
real fiexibility at the waistline, and
you will find you have secured the
most important aid to grace, which SO
largely depends on control of the mus
cles at the waist.
Then, when you have learned to
stand we'll and to have real use or
your body, learn to walk all over again
learn walking as an art. Do not
walk as the most of us do, with our
legs stuck stiffly out, the body drag
ging and the arms swinging with no
life or ease.
There are almost as many ways to
carry the body as there are people in
this world, and yet there are only q
few simple rules for the perfect walk.
The line of the body is of great import
ance; So also. is the proper hip move
ment. There is no better practice to
observe in securing the perfect walk
than the often recommended one. Place
a book or bundle on your head and see
if you can walk with it poised there.
Then draw a line along the floor, and
see how straight your average walk is.
Each step should be a foot apart, and
in making these practice steps lift the
thigh forward, letting lower leg and
foot hang loosely. The unbending at
the knee plants the foot Immediately
as weight bears on it. The body and
head should sway in sympathy with
every motion of the legs.-Kathrine
Morton. in Peoria Herald-TranScript.

Timely Hints for Lenten Dishes

any kind mixed with just enough rich
gravy to make slightly moist. Brush
over the turnips with soft butter and
dust them with fine crumbs, put them
in a baking dish with two tablespoon
fuls of butter and bake them in a good
oven until perfectly tender. Place them
on a heated dish and put little of
the melted butter in the pan of each.
They should be baSted two or three
times with the butter while cooking.
Rice croquette with Prunes
Cover half cupful of rice with cold
water, bring quickly to the boiling
point and boil five minutes. Drain,
rinse in cold water and drain again.
Then put into a double boiler, add one
and a half cupfuls of hot milk, cover
and steam until the milk is all alb
sorbed and the rice is tender. Remove
from the fire, add a fourth of cup
full of sugar, a tablespoonful of butter.
little grated orange rind and the
beaten yolks of two eggs. Spread on
a shallow plate to cool, shape into
small balls, egg and bread-crumb them
and fry in deep fat. Serve with stewed
prunes as a dainty entree or simple
dessert.
Poached Apricots
Line a dish with slices of stale sponge
cake, on each slice placing half an
apricot. Whip some white of egg to a
stiff froth, sweeten with powdered
sugar and place around the apricots so
as to make them resemble poached
eggs.
Burned Sugar Cream
Into a double boiler put one cup of
cream, three-quarters of cup of sugar
and yolks of three eggs. Beat well and
place on the fire until almost boiling
point. When the mixture has cooled
off stir it into the three whites beaten
TO stiff froth. Put three tablespoon
fuls of sugar in a saucepan over the
fire and stir until the sugar turns a
golden brown; add dash of water and
boil to a syrup. When cold beat into
the cream and freeze.
Coffee Charlotte
Dissolve one envelope minute gela-
tine (plain) and one cup sugar in a
small cup clear, strong coffee Whip
one large cup cream till stiff, and beat
into 1t the cold coffee mixture. Line in
dividual cups with thin pieces of sponge
cake or lady fingers and fill with the
cream.

THE ECONOMICAL ACTRESS

Leroy C. Page, the well-known So
biologist, in the course of a lecture in
Harrisburg, described the peculiar
economies that are practiced in the
various walks of life--the economies OF
manicure. of horse doctors, of miners,
of pilots.
Even the leading lady," said Prof.
Page, PRACTICES odd economies. A
great manager told me this.
"The manager one Monday night en-
tered leading lady's dressing room
with huge bouquet in his hand.
The torist just sent this over with
the bill, he murmured conf1dentially,
behind his hand. I'll have tier
thrown on at the end of the trial scene,
eh?'
No; don't throw it on said the
leading lady Let an usher hand it
up. I want to use 1t all this week.

carriage of the body should do Is to
make sure that her mental outlook on
life in general is a hopeful one, that
she believes in herself and that OPP
portunity to prove the reasonableness
of this belief comes at some time or
in some fashion to every one of us,
herself included.
So L would say, as the first rule to
observe in your attempt to obtain
beautiful polse, hold up your head,
lift the chin little, so that your friends
can say to you, You are looking up"
1t is probably true, as charged, that
many a woman does not really know
what beautiful carriage is. But she
that has eyes to see need not long re-
main in ignorance on this point. If
she lives in city that boasts of an
art museum, let her study there In the
originals, or the replicas, of old Greek
statues, whose subjects are standing
and leaning, walking and running al
ways with perfect grace and freedom.
The Greeks of old not only understood
what beautiful carriage is; they also
had joy in their bodies-healthy, nat
ural joy-and they gave their bodies
the practice in physical exercises that
was required to keep them in supple
and responsive condition.
Here are some simple bodily exer-
cises that will aid any woman to Sc
cure a proper balance and control of
her body:
Stand firmly on both legs. Change
weight, making right leg the strong
one. Incline head to right, body to
left. You are now in harmonic bal
ance. BY inclining the body to the
right you become awkward and If this
is continued in you will probably fall;
so you may learn by this simple exer-
else the value of balance and so begin
to learn to stand correctly. When the
weight does not rest alike on the two
feet you must always bear in mimi
the fact that the head sympathizes
with the strong leg, and that 1t should
Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-03

IN HERE is no beauty like the beauty
of poise, no single mark of dis
- tinction in face or figure that
equals the grace of we'll carried body.
Just now and then we catch a
glimpse, among the throngs of men and
women who are daily passing us, of a
figure so beautifully upright and grace
full that we remember it long after 1t
is moved beyond our vision.
l am not one of those who believe
that a splendidly poised body should be
a rare sight. 1t ought to be something
we see always, so that we are dis
tressed by an exception to the rule.
But 1t is a rare sight, indeed, and sim
ply because most of us fail to make
the best of our bodies, just as we tail
to make the best of ourselves, by for
getting, neglecting the very things
most important to- our welfare. Even
the very children, whose bodies ought
to be the poetry of motion, youth and
grace, begin in their school days to
grow careless, to bunch their shoulders,
drop their heads and walk as though
there was no special Joy or freedom
or opportunity in the exercise that we
all take for granted, unless Illness
comes along and we are deprived of it.
For the ordinary woman to obtain a
beautiful carriage is not half so hard
a task as many women suppose, just
because so few of them possess this
truly wonderful beautifier. First of all,
beautiful carriage depends on two
things, not on one-the poise of the
body and the poise of the mind. The
mental attitude has great deal more
to do with the bearing of the body
than most of us suppose. Note how
the body expresses every emotion we
feel: fear, anger, happiness, ETC.; so
it Is natural that our whole attitude
toward life should affect the way we
carry ourselves. The first thing any
woman who longs to obtain graceful

Commission Preparing Plans for AM

\ WASHINGTON, April 2.-The COM
mission of which President Taft, while
secretary of war; was a member ap-
pointed to prepare plans for men,
orial amphitheater in the national GEM
etery at Arlington, Va, has submitted
it's report to congress.
The plans prepared by New York ar
chitects contemplate roofless struct-
ure covering $4,000 square feet, the ul-
innate cost of which would be $685., 900.
There would be seating room for about
5000 persons.
1t is contemplated that a crypt
should be constructed under the COL
onnade, and that it should be used for
the burial of distinguished men who
merit such recognition from the ma
ton. Provision is made also for MEM
orial busts, portraits and statues in the
colonnade, somewhat as so frequent
ly has been DONE" say the architects,
'in the famous Campos Santos of Eur
ope."
In preparing these designs such clas-
sic structures as the theater of Diony-
sius at Athens and the Roman the
alter at Orange were studied, but the
architects have striven rather to keep
the proposed building i'm harmony with
the old colonial buildings of Washing

THE CALL OF SPRING

o to be out in the bright spring weather,
Out In the fields where the wild flowers grow
To roam through the tall grass for hours to
gether,
Or lie on the bank where the peoples blow.
The wild oats wave us gracious greeting,
The cream cups hide in their lowly bed.
The fairy bells welcome to their meeting
And the oak leaves rustic overhead.
The meadow lark sings his song of gladness,
The white sails CLEAN on the distant bay,
The wood pigeon means a note of sadness,
The robin offers his joyous lay.
Then long farewell to the city's splendor,
To musty office and crowded street;
My heart sawakes to memories tender,
Then away to the fields with God to meet.
