Coordination and Teamwork

WELL known college trainer asked, IN con-
n nection with this review just what the muscles
did in these infinitely fine feats OF Juggling, per
formed by wizards the law of graV1tat1on, ike
Cinuueval The athletic doctors reply was as SIM
pie Abe.
Coordination, he said with happy smile, as
though that settled it forever.
Il But what is coordination of the muscles:
"Simple enough \ like Paul Spadon1. or
Cinquevalli begins by training his muscles to OBEY
his mind the muscles together, Just as the things
he uses to iuggle with act together. The muscles
obey instantv and what YOU with Your eyes, the
so called feat of Juggling is but the reflex or visible
action of the infinitely delicate adjustment OF the
juggler muscles
Then it is what is called, in vaudeville team
work? By teamwork two men working to-
qether for a common result such singing or dane
ing"
''That's the idea and the first rate iuggler makes
his muscles do his bidding Hard? Well, rather.
Take simple thing like dancing the hornppe. Did
YOU ever try it, Roughly speaking, when the legs
90 one way the arms go the other way; and 1t Is
this opposition in the movement muscles that makes
the awkward figure cut by the beginner At first he
is utterly unable to make his muscles obey; but by
and by they follow the thought instantly.
Does a uggler have to keep up practices.
EVERY dav of his life; but after he has the
proper coordination of his muscles the trick stays
bv him. so to speak It's like swimming or bicycle
riding or any other muscular feat: once You get 1t,
YOU do not lose it readily.
The trainers patter on the " how OF Juggling eN-
plains to the reader world of things about the art
of balancing and controlling objects The mind IS
acting through the muscles. The spider that Robert
Bruce watched rebuild the torn web times was

CAUSE OF ECZEMA EXPLAINED

After years of debate medical au-
thorities are now agreed that Eczema
and other skin diseases are not seated
in the blood, but are caused by myriads
of microscopic animals gnawing the
flesh just below the epidermis. The
patient is perfectly healthy, it is only
the skin that is diseased.
Hence, scientists are now agreed that
you must cure the skin through the
skin. The medicine must be in LIQUID
form in order to penetrate properly.
And we can say with confidence that
we have the true remedy for Eczema in
our store
The instant you wash with this sootb-
ing liquid you will find the itch relieved

SELLING What We Need?

| II has been customary to look upon
est. If not tie greatest, of food pro-
ducing nations OF the earth. This
| convention OF our place among the
nations comes from the constant reit-
Grafton of the statistics showing the
| tremendous volume of wheat and other
| grain as we'll as cattle and kindred
products of the farm and ranch which
have been exported.
Sixty years ago, during the period
from 1850 to 1855, we annually eX-
ported agricultural products to val
ne Of $150,0OO000. Fifty years later,
during a similar five-year period, the
annual average rose to $875,O0O,OO0.
During the last two years the total
value has exceeded 100000 900.
This increase has been more rapid
than the growth in our population; has
outstripped our transportation facll-
tiles and has brought into this coun-
try a food of money which makes us
among the richest of the nations of
the earth.
There is another feature of the case
which should not be overlooked; that
while our exports have increased
faster than the population, yet the
population in turn has increased fast
er than the production, so that for
period our exports have cut down the
supply available for home consump-
ton. Just to what extent this element
is reflected in the high cost of living
today we are unprepared to say, but
il is certain that it plays an import
ant part.
Students of economies tell US that
unless more Americans farm, the nom
food producing population will soon
outstrip the capacity of the food-pro
ducing population to produce the ne
cessities of life, and we shall be-
come dependent upon our neighbors.
1t appears that the time has come to
consider whether it is good business
to sell that which we need ourselves
and buy from the stock of another.

The cutting blowpipe, of which so
many surprising things have been re-
ported, has recently been improved in
France in a way to render it more gem
orally useful. Two inhammable gases
must be employed. One is required TO
keep the metal at high temperature.
The other is oxygen to concentrate ac-
ton by oxidation along the line OF the
cut For heating, either coal gas, acct
ylene or hydrogen is employed, but as
there is sometimes difficulty in procur-
ing supply of those gases, the new
blowpipe is arranged to use instead of
the ordinary gasoline employed by mo-

The charge that bees are destructive

Sanatorium at Hebron. and S1s,0oo

zens of Maine will pay the balance

citizens of Maine as they never have
been aroused before.
We have recently had the inspiring
spectacle of Boston in an uproar dur
ing q campaign to raise large sum
of money for new large Y. NJ. c. A
building. Immediately large number
of people in the vicinity of Boston
followed the example of the larger
city and inaugurated campaigns de-
| signed to raise large sums of money
before a given date. Nearly, if not
every one of these campaigns was
successful because the citizens re-
sronded to the call for money for q
righteous purpose. The Y. NJ. c. A
is great institution, designed to pro-
tect and uplift young men without re.
gard to creed, race or station. The
campaign showed that the people
however much interested in their owr
affairs, are ever ready to give of theiI
time and their money when the cause
has sufficient merit.
