Exhibit at the
Normal School

An exhibition of much interest to the
friends and students Of the ]. o. VIII
son Normal School will be opened to
the public Monday evening, November
! %, from to 10 o'clock.
| Last spring, at the request of the
| Forest Service, the students of the
class of 1915 began to prepare an ex-
| hibit for the San Francisco EXposi-
| ton that would illustrate to teachers
methods of tree study for the graded
! schools Each student selected q
! species of tree to make a study of dur
| ing the summer from the standpoint
of a teacher of the elementary schools.
| Pictures, poems literature, articles
| made from the wood, sprays Of leaves,
| the fruit, insect and fungous diseases
have been collected and arranged on
| cardboard to show the material to De
| used in demonstrating the lesson each
! student has prepared.
| No restrictions were placed upon the
students in regard to the metnod or op,
| tanning their material. They nave used
! lures and bulletins. They have written
| to lumber firms; dealers in maple sugar
| saw mills in many parts of the United
States. Many of them have made ar
| ticles of furniture from the wood they
studied and others have had assistance
| in doing it.
They have delved into the historic
| trees of the city; into insect and run
gous growths. They have studied tree
protection in cities and the prevention
of forest fires. All of this Is SHOWN
in the ]. o. Wilson Normal at Eleventh

gentleness that was certainly the es-

The Value of Human Life.

sufficient damages for the killing Of q

The same judge, now chief justice,
was recently called upon to pass Upon a

OF all the fat making foods that
tempt the flesh. few are better gener-
ators Of obesity than hot chocolate or
cocoa, hot soups, hot tea or coffee, and
hot rations Of whatever sort you please.
The greases. gravies. oils. and sweets

for assimilation all the fat-forming pab-
ulum of the table.
Many German, Jewish, Dutch Nor
wegian and Swedish women and men
are stouter than those of other nations
because the customs among them in
clude much drinking with meals. Soups
or beer, water or wine, whey or gravies,
all contribute nightly to the accumula-
ton of fat because they aid digestion.
and in this fashion cause an excess OF
food to metamorphose into flesh.
Full cheeks, double chins, rotund
necks, expansive bosoms and corpulent

Ways To Reduce.
Plainly the culling out of the very
habits which contribute to overweight is
as important as to taboo the breads, po-
tatoes, cereals, candies, pastries, oils,
and sweetmeats which are 80 easily CON-
verted into the untoned fats.
While it is true that the contour OF

round and delicate, no harm, but only
good, can come TO the face and figure
If appropriate exercises and finger ma
nipulations are added to your sane and
discreet table maneuvers.
Yawning, signing, elongating and
stretching the mouth greatly facilitate
the dissolution of unsightly fat pads,
such as butter-ball cheeks and double
chins.
ANY gyrations of the face, neck or
other portion of your anatomy which
makes a tuned-up fiddle string of your
muscles. will help to squeeze out and
eject the fats and oils so obstructive of
beauty. Just as those mechanics of the
flesh. masseurs, osteopaths, and similar
manipulators are more effective Ii their
fingers work upon tense muscles, so any
tension and stretching Of the fatty
parts. when exercised, will rid the It's
sues all the more effectively of excess
sive flesh.
Swimming, bicycle riding, dancing and
an active life, if possible in the sunlight
and great outdoors, play no small role
in reduction. The real fly in the oint-
ment Of ali counsel for the removal of
adipose tissue depends upon the fact
that most women and men above thirty
five are "set in their ways" That is
to say, they have become "set" like a
cement pavement in all sorts of ruts
and lazy habits. They do not care to
bother about such red tape" hence
they wax stout and rotund.
