FOOD OF POLAR BEAR.
How He Manages to Appease His Hun
Ger Despite the Ice.

All bears throughout the world, eX-
cept the polar bear, are omnivorous, eat
ing almost any form Of food; but the
polar bear does not relish anything but
fish and seal meat, and. If he has his
choice, the seal is preferred at all
times.
The polar bear might properly be
called a marine creature, as it remains
in the water a great deal and never
leaves but q short distance inland on
the Icy coasts.
On land it is very clumsy and awk-
ward, but il shows great agility when
N the water. II can catch its prey
with evident ease.
The specimens kept In captivity In
the geological gardens and parks in the
larger cities In this and other countries
have to be cared for in a manner that
will protect them from the heat Of
our latitude, as they are not accus-
toned to such warm temperature.
Pits with cool, dark retreats, and ice
and cold water must be provided. and

HOW ENERGY Is WASTED.
Household Duties Should Be Performed
Without Nervous Strain.

A woman should make it a rule never
to stand at any task that she can do
just as well sitting. For instance, why
stand up when you peel potatoes. Why
stand when you "do" your hair? You
are simply using up strength that
should be saved for more important
matters.
Again you may waste strength by
taking unnecessary steps. This is pc
culiarly likely to be the case when you
have to go up and down stairs a great
deal. a little thought and care will
save you a good many toilsome climbs.
In going upstairs most people bend
from the waist. thus cramping up their
chests until they cannot get a free
breath. Then they laboriously haul
themselves up by Clineing to the banis-
ter, dragging their feet uselessly after
them and putting the whole strain OF
the climb on their backs.
In preparing TO go upstairs stand per
fectly erect, throwing out the chest.
Keep away from the banister. Lift
the feet, bending the knees freely.
In addition TO wasting energy about
their work, many women fritter away
nervous force when they are supposed
to be resting. For instance, there is the
oma who rocks violently to and
fro In her fayOrite rocker. Even such
an apparently unimportant habit as
swinging the foot or tapping it restless
ly upon the floor or allowing the fingers
to play with articles near them IS so
LAUGH drain on the nervous system.
Keep still. Relax even in your work.
