REDUCING THE ABDOMEN.
By Maurice A. Joyce.

Here are a few movements for reduc.
ing and developing the abdominal
muscles: Lie fiat on the back on a mat
If at the gymnasium, or on a rug at
home; keep the arms at your side, palms
Of the hands flat on the floor. Now, with
the knees stiff bring the legs to a YER
teal position and then slowly back to
the floor keeping the legs together. This
slightly fatigued. adding few counts
each day until twenty is reached.
Stay on your back for a few moments
rest and then raise the body to a sitting
position, with arms folded. and then
slowly back to the floor. repeating it until
slight fatigue is again felt, and increas-
ing the number of counts until you reach
twenty. If you find trouble in getting up
without the feet also coming up. place
them under couch or other heavy piece
of furniture.
Another good exercise for the develop
ment and reducing of the abdomen is to
sit upon a low stool with your feet press
ed tightly to the floor Now bend the
body backward and forward from a ver-
teal position. Go back as far as you
feel safe and up again. This is very hard
on the abdomen at first. Beginners should
never do this more than eight or ten
times, gradually increasing it from day
to day.
Running is also an excellent way to de-
velop these muscles. The knees must
from a wall with back toward wall. arms
UP over the head; bend backward from
the waist until hands reach the wall over
the head. Repeat several times. being
careful not to bend at the knees. but from
the waist.

THE average man and woman go on

use of any apparatus except dumb-peils
and a wand build himself up and keep
in perfect health and strength by a simple
course Of training The most important
part of the body to exercise is the trunk.
The arms and legs each receive GER
tain amount of attention, but the pr1n-
cipal thought and effort should be re-
served for those exercises which affect
the trunk, and, through it. the vital
functions of digestion. as we'll as those

BASE BALL DECISIONS.
National Commission Refuses to Re.
verse Findings in Hemphill Case.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, April 19.-The
national base ball commission today re-
fused to reverse the decision Of the
national board in the case of Player
Charles ]. Hemphill. who requested the
commission to allow his claims for
eight days salary against the Atlanta
club Of the Southern League. for one
month and twenty-five days salary
against the Columbus club. and his
transportation bill from Atlanta to
Columbus. Hemphill was released by
Atlanta to Columbus during the season
of 1912.
The commission also reopened the
case Of the Atlanta and Columbus clubs
whereby decision was previously made
by which Columbus paid Atlanta $500
for the release of Hemphill. The COM
mission holds that $3.50 Of this must
be returned to the Columbus club. The
Columbus club sold Hemphill to the
st. Paul club for $3.50, and it was the
difference between this sale and the
amount paid by Columbus that the COM
mission ruled was due Columbus The
reason for this. according to the COM
mission. is that the player was not in
physical condition to play ball when he
was sold by Atlanta

Lloyd Georges First Narrow Escape

Mr. Lloyd George will never die from

But it is interesting to recall how his life
nearly ended abruptly when he was a
year old. He was seized with Group one
winters night at Haverfordwest, where
his parents lived. and his mother had to
hurry through the snow to find doctor.
He arrived when the baby was almost at
his last gasp and barely succeeded III
pulling him through the attack.
Many years later at Cardiff the same
doctor came up to the present chancellor
of the exchequer after a meeting and told
Mm of this incident, adding that as he
wondered whether 1t had been really
worth while to save the baby's life, since
there was no prospect before the baby
but the life of an agricultural laborer
