BENEFIT IN STAIR CLIMBING
Properly Done, II Aids In Giving One
an Erect and Graceful Carriage,
II Heart ls Sound.

Climbing stars always has been
thought to be very injurious to a
women, yet in many cases, if it is
rightly done, it may be of real bene-
CT and gradually strengthen the
heart and shoulders instead Of doing
actually the reverse. Mount the
stairs .Iowly with the body erect, the
head and chest high, and allow the
leg muscles to do the work. Try this
FOR week, instead of the old way Of
bending the back and depressing the
chest, and see how much it improves
the general carriage.
A physical-culture exercise that is
unriyaiel for giving one an erect
and graceful carriage, Strengthening
the shoulders and making them as
level as those of West Point cadet
is done by this same stair climbing,
only in this case with the arms hang
ing at full length. The hands should
be clasped behind the back, with the
fingers interlaced and the hand:
turned as nearly to back as possible
Then, standing very erect, mount
the stairs slowly, and before half the
ascent is made every cell in the lung
will have been expanded many times
These exercises are excellent TO
anyone whose heart is in good con
dition, but when this organ is in
| diseased state it is well to avoid stat
climbing whenever possible.

GEM OF ANCIENT ART.

~ -
A gem of the Minoan art has
been recently acquired by the Bos-
ton Art museum. 1t is an ivory
.statuette with gold ornaments and
details, 61a inches in height. The
resemblance of the figure to that OF
the famous snake goddess found by
Sir A. Evans at Knossos is obvious.
But it resembles not so much any
art of ancient Greece as that Of
gothic work of the thirteenth CEN
fury. At the same time the char
acter of the materials seems to pre-
clude the possibility Of forgery. She
wears a dress of Cretan type, ana
her head is adorned with a splendid
crown, on which a gold ornament
was probably fixed. The statuette
exhibits for the first time a treat
ment of the human figure which is
comparable with the fine studies Of
animals characteristic Of Cretan or
Myocenian art. 1t may be placed
not far from the high-water mark
of Cretan pottery, and it may go
back TO the middle Minoan age.
This new discovery emphasizes
more than ever the contrast between
the art of Crete and that of ancient
Hellas.

In the matter of sports ana
special attractions the fair will
also exceed those of former years.
Arrangements have been made
with the lie Strange carnival
company to bring their big list
.of attractions here. Arrange
ments have also been made for
balloon ascension for each day
with a double parachute jump on
each occasion.
The board of directors have Sc
cured T.. w. Trueman to act as
business manager for the fair
and from this time on will pay
him for his services and he will
devote the greater part of his
time to promoting the fair and
looking after its business inter
ests.
Another very important matter
came up at the meeting Wednes-
day evening and that is the place
where the fair is to be held. Most
lof the business men of the city
favor holding it at the base ball
park instead of at the grounds
across the river, saying that the
grounds are too far away from
the city and are difficult of ac-
cess and very inconvenient for
all who desire to visit the fair.
The grounds are so rar away that
farmers and others from out Of
town are practically prohibited
from doing any trading in the
lcily as il takes so long to go to
and return from there that there
is no time for anything else.
On the other hand the associa-
ton owns its buildings at the
fair grounds and has gone to
good deal of expense in putting
them up and arranging them for
the fair and cannot afford to
abandon them and go the ex-
pense of preparing places for the
exhibits in some other place. The
association is willing that the fair
should be moved and has offered
to hold it at the ball park if the
business men will stand the ex-
pense of putting up the necessary
sheds for taking care of the live
stock and will furnish the tents
and buildings for the other ex-
hibits. A committee of business
men has the matter in charge and
will see what can be done in re-
gard to having the fair held in
( town.

Fair Association
Engages Manager

The directors Of the Benewah
County Fair Association held
meeting Wednesday evening for
the purpose of listening to the
report of the different committees
and taking such steps as might
seem necessary inpushing the fair
along. The meeting was an en-
thusiastic one and from all re-
ports received everything seems
tp be progressing favorably and
the prospects look very bright for
making the fair big success.
The exhibit of farm products
promises TO excel by a large per
cent anything heretofore shown
here. The year has been an eX-
ceptional good one for all kinds
of farm products and the farmers
are taking a great interest i'm the
fair and have been planning on
ii the entire season. The Far
mers Union booth OF itself will, i'm
all probability equal the entire
exhibits of farm products for
previous years.
The live stock exhibit also
promises to be the best ever
shown here while particular at
tcntion is being paid To- the exhi-
bitiOn of poultry. II is expected
that fully as many birds will be
shown as have appeared at any
of the exclusive poultry shows
that have been held here.

ON account of this delay, but i'm
spite of this fact, the factory has
had orders for all of the boxes
they could turn out. I'm addi-
tion to smaller orders the COM
pany has filled an order for five
carloads of boxes and another for
four and has an order for twenty
carloads ON hand that they have
NOT started to fill.
The company has been bother
cd TO a considerable extent by
lack of power. Now that the
factory is running it is found thai
there is not steam enough to fur
nish the necessary power and
plans are being made to install
another boiler. This is to bc of
i2O horse power and is expected
lc furnish all the additional
steam that will be required. With
il the company believes That it
will be possible To- keep up with
lho orders.
Another matter that is giving
trouble is the fact That the pres
emit drying room is only large
enough 10 handle a little moro
that the present output and with
increased boiler room and consc-
quent increased output, a larger
drying room will be required. The
company is planning ON buildine
this and expect to have il COM
pleted by the time the new boiler
is installed.

Writ OF Mandate
Was Refused
DISTRICT WINS MANOAMUS CAS-
Judge Holds Board Of Directors Had No Authority
to Make Three Year Contract.

Judge Dunn rendered his decis-
ion i'm the case of f. II. Buck VS..
the Board of Trustees of st.
Maries Independent School Dis
trict No. Thursday, denying the
petition for the writ OF mandate.
Mr.. Buck filed a petition asking
for writ of mandate to compel
the board of trustees tO reinslate
him as superintendent of the city
schools and alleged a contract en-
tered into ON thc 3ist day of
August belwe9h himself and the
board of l|nstees of the district
FOR three years.
The case was heard July %. a
week ago yesterday, Heforc Judge
r.. n. Dunn i'm this city. When
il came ON for trial Attorney
keeton, for the board of trustees,
moved that the plaintin be COM
PEELED To make his complaint more
certain by stating the number of
teachers employed i'm the district.
which motion was ONerruled by
the Judge Mr.. Keet0n then filed
q demurrer To the complaint gen
orally and also rcciling a number
of special grounds of demurrer.
The case was argued at length
by Mr.. Keeton for the school
board and by Taylor & Hull for
Mr.. Buck and both parties filed
briefs i'm the case.
Judge Dunn took the case UNI
der advisement and yesterday rem
dered his decision sustaining the
demurrer. The judge states that
il was unnecessary for him to
consider the different special de-
murrer interposed by the defen-
danl for the reason that he was
of the opinion that the statute
relied upon in paragraphs three
and four of the petition, to-wit:
Sec. 3 of subdivision b of the ses-
sion laws of 1913, had been re-
pealed by Chapter i59 of the SEES
sion laws of 1913.
The section referred to is the
one that would give the board Of
trustees the powr to make a con-
tract for NOR than one year and
the decision of the court is prac-
tically that the board of trustees
had no authority to enter into a
contract for a longer term than
one year. This disposes of the
matter unless Mr.. Buck should
decide TO appeal from this de-
cision TO the supreme court.
