There VIII Be No After Aches u the
Tubs Are Only Placed
High Enough.

The washday is often spoken Of as
blue Monday" because 1t is usually
day of hard work, followed by days
of recovery from such aches as WON
an thinks her due. Now, 1t has been
definitely proved, says ]. Howard
Frick, instructor of Medical correction
gymnastics in the Samaritan hospital
Of Germantown, according to the New
York Tribune, that washing clothes
has nothing tosdo with making wom-
an feel gloomy. but that the way she
does it has all to do with her after
health.
The most common complaint OF
women after a days washing is the
terrible backache which almost COM
pels them to go to bed. This is some
times followed by headache in the
middle of the head and behind the
eyes, which often last for days. Now.
what is the cause Of these after ef-
fects? Certainly ordinary work should
not entail such after sufferings. The
whole cause is the position Of the
woman while working over the tubs.
The majority of wash benches are too
low and the woman must stoop over
while at work. This causes the mus
cles Of the abdomen to relax. which al
lows the stomach. liver, kidneys. and.
In fact, all the organs. to fall forward
out Of their normal positions, caus-
ing the terrible after effects Of such
work.
The proper position before TUB is
a perfectly erect position. Here 1t Is
impossible for the abdominal organs
to fall out Of position, as the abdom-
inal wall is tense, as 1t should be when
in the erect position.
Another point of value in the erect
position is the fact that the wringine
of the clothes is much easier. since
the whole force of the arm can be
used without having to exert an effort
to keep the erect position.
The lifting of the tubs is an entire
ly unnecessary labor. When they are
not Of the stationary kind they car

'ANTEGUN LAW FAILS
Trial In New York Shows 0rdl.
nance FaIIacious.
Has Had No Effect on the Criminal
Element, While Law-AbIdIns citI-
xens Are Left Without Means
OF Protecting Themselves.

New York.-One year has passed
since the Sullivan law" aimed to
prevent the carrying of concealed
weapons, became a law, and, as was
predicted a year ago, the law proved
an utter failure. Crooks and other
criminals continued to carry con-
cealed arms in spite of the law. which
fell heavily only upon a number Of
law-abiding citizens who were the pos
SCISSORS of arms for protection and
neglected to get rid Of them before
the law became effective.
In other words, the law merely had
the effect of depriving the law-abiding
citizens of their means of protection.
while the criminals, against whom
they tried to protect themselves, were
left in possession of their weapons.
According to the annual report OF
the coroner. just issued, there were
log homicides by shooting during the
last twelve months In Manhattan, only
two less than in 1910, when the high
water mark In the number Of homi-
cides by shooting was reached. In
eighteen of these cases the circum-
stances did not call for an arrest,
while in eighty-eight cases arrests
were clearly In order. As matter
Of fact. however, arrests were made
only in thlrtyseven of the cases, leav-
ing ffty-one cases in which no ar
rests were made.
Under the Sullivan law It is Illegal
for any dealer to sell q pistol or other
dangerous weapon prescribed by the
law to any person not in possession OF
license for owning and carrying
such weapons. In spite of this fact
It is estimated that during the last
twelve months more than 5000 revolv.
ers were sold by dealers and pawn
brokers in this city In violation of the
law.
John Schrank, the man who shot
Colonel Roosevelt, admitted after his
arrest that he had bought the revolver
