exercise. that she should live soft
and easy sort of life. A woman
needs proper physical training even
more than man, because her
troa1s and troubles are often more
Intense. Very often her environ
ment forbids her taking advantage
Of the out-of-door activities that are
offered to man
Every woman should have sur
plus of energy stored up in her sys-
tenn in order to meet the bill that
Nature presents In days OF severe
sickness or in case of great demands
upon her strength. Again, some men
think that woman at home has lit
tie or nothing to do. that she
washes a few dishes, sweeps the door,
sews, gossips with the neighbors.
then rests or sleeps. This idea Isl
wrong, as the busy housewife is
never entirely free from the cares
connected with her home Even in
the night, while the man sleeps, she
must attend to the wants of a cry
ing chifd.
While a woman gets quite q little
secular exercise from busting,
sweeping, scrubbing and cooking
still In many of these various duties
the posture of the body Is wrong.
Take sweeping, for instance, says
William j. Cromie in Woman's
World for September. Many bend
forward too much, let the head drop
and stir up dust unnecessary by
sweeping too hard. One should not
push on the broom handle, but
rather draw it toward one. The
broom should not pass beyond the
center line of the body, as 1t is then
that it stirs up unnecessary dust.
In order to keep the broom from
becoming one-sided and thus losing
its efficiency, keep constantly turn
ing the handle in the hands while
sweeping.
fter much sweeping the nostrils
should be cleansed by using either
an antomizer or nasal douche.
Avoiding West Virginia.
James w. Wder, editor and pub
Usher of that sprightly new weekly,
the Randolph Review, lands another
telling punch in favor of the good
roads movement in this state; and as
the Telegram has promised Govern
or Hatfield to aid the good roads
movement in all it's power and as the
Telegram also has a warm spot in
its heart for Mr.. Wier because he
once worked in CIarksburg, the
..punch" is herewith reproduced:
1t is probably a waste of time to
try to interest the average man IN
the subject of good roads just at
this time OF the year when the
reads. such as they are, are in the
best condition, yet there IS one way
OF bringing the matter home to thel
people and that is by telling them
that West Virginia is avoided, yes
avoided, because OF its rough roads.
Here is a state whose scenery Il
in glory and grandeur
actually avoided because it's roads
are in places impossible either II
winter or summer. The effect is to |
keep out of the state thousands OF
people who would otherwise patron
ize farm houses, hotels and business
houses.
But this is only one phase of the
road question. Another and more
serious one is this, that money which
has to be expended in drib;ets ever
year upon roads, if spent in build
ing permanent roads, would only
have to be spent once If, of course
taxpayers are willing to to pay ou'
their hard earned dollars and cents
every year they should nave nc
cause to complain over the condition
OF the roads. If a man by payfns
s25 month could apply thai
amount on the purchase OF a hous
wouldn't he be foolish to pay tn
same amount merely for rent? ii
most undoubtedly would.
Summing up the whole discussion
Of the road question 1t is like every
thing else, people will kick and com
plain when the power to Ternedy
conditions which arouse their dis
pleasure would be remedied by a Ut
tie effort on their part.
