PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
IGNORED LABOR ISSUE

To those among the vast army
of wage earners throughout the
country who expected President
Taft to suggest remedial labor
legislation, his annual message to
congress came as distinct dis
appointment.
A careful reading Of the TO-
OOO-word document fails to reveal
a single direct reference to the
great issues that have been waged
in behalf Of the toiling masses.
So far as we know this is the
first annual message sent to con-
gress by president in a decade
that has not contained some di-
rect recommendations in behalf
Of the wealth producers of the
nation.
The injunction plank Of the
last Republican national platform
is quoted with the additional
statement that injunctions should
be "issued for a period Of seven
days and then renewed in the
discretion Of the court

antitrust law, which has been
held by the supreme court. to
apply to labor organizations, the
president promises some time in
the future to favor congress with
a special message. Not one OF

It is practically assured that a

Relaxation Necessary in Walk
ing and in Sitting and
in Eating.

you have perhaps observed that many
Of them listen with their spines and
shoulders, and every muscle of their
faces.
In walking swing the limbs from tho
hips with a free, rhythmical motion,
using only the necessary muscles for
that purpose.
In sewing, the average woman strains
the muscles at the back Of the neck,
or nearly breaks her back with an in
tense rigidity of spine. Stop a moment
when you become aware of this tension,
and just let yourself go. Flop over"
is the right phrase to convey to YOU
just what relaxation means.
Let go! Remember that relaxation is
Just the reverse of muscular action. Lie
on your back on the bed, or On the
floor, and practise letting your muscles
60. Practise Just getting perfectly limp
all over, becoming a dead weight. Do
this as often as you are conscious of
tension, particularly when you are
troubled with sleeplessness. Gradually
the imps of thought that torment your
tired brain and prevent sleep will relax
their hold and you will slip into a quiet,
restful sleep that means refreshment
of mind. brightness to the eyes and
c%learness to the skin.-From the Wash

Constant Tension of the Merves Will
Soon Run Ali Ones Vitality and Nlgor

Yet the day was done, and here was
an opportunity for rest.
There was not a on that car
who might not have relaxed absolutely
and reached her destination just as
quickly, and when she did reach it she
would then have felt rested n re-
freshed after her ride.
1t was impossible to wonder at gath
ering wrinkles about tired lips and
eyes, or the many evidences of irrita-
bility manifested around me when the
cause was SO apparent in the rigid
bodies.
l have noticed this same nervous
tension everywhere under varying con-
ditions. Women who work. whether
about their homes or in a downtown
office, get up in the morning and start
upon their tasks under a nervous ten
sion that wears them out in a very
few hours.
The nerves a and must be trained
to make the body subservient to the
mind. Any nervous or muscular effort
used which is not needed for the actual
accomplishment of the task in hand is
simply waste of fuel, and means an
ultimate breakdown.
For instance, when listening only the
ears and brain are needed.

concert or In a theatre? If you havc
