URGES COURSE IN SWIMMING
Every Boy and Girl Should Be Taught
the Art-Offsets Evil Effects
Of Corset Wearing.

"Canadians know better how to
swim than Americans, and Hawaiians
more about swimming than the people
of any other country. perhaps" said
G. H. Corsan, professor of swimming
in the University or Toronto, while
in washington recently. Swimming
is the best exercise that can be had.
Relaxation is one of the secrets of
the art sof swimming, a fact which
explains the smooth round muscles
of swimmers and their freedom from
old-age wrinkles. A weak or tired
heart secures a much-needed rest and
thereby is strengthened after an easy
swim Swimming makes women ro-
bust and the action of the sun and air
equalled by artificial treatment. It
has been demonstrated that swim
ming offsets the evil effects of corset
wearing and of the cramped position
of the sedentary worker, and it re-
lieves us from the worry of drowning.
Il believe that every boy and girl
should be taught to swim, and that a
regu Tar course IN swimming should be
part of our public schools. | have
not the statistics at hand as to the
number of deaths each year from
drowning, but they are enormous, and
growing every year This is because
there are fewer young persons who
learn to swim than years ago, when
almost every boy in town or country
could swim before he was seven years
old. Most boys on the farm know
how to swim, because the creeks and
small rivers are at hand, but in the
city the boys and girls who swim are
comparatively few, for the reason
that those who learn are nearly al
ways taught in schools or gymna.

on the finger tip.
Why is this? Why does not the
coin follow the card?
Other examples of the law of in
ertia are: When we strike our clothes
with stick we beat the dust out of
them, and when we knock the handle
into a hammer or a broom we do 1t
best by striking the far end of the
stick while holding the middle loosely
in the hand
An even better illustration of this
law is that in which out of pile of
coins the middle ones can be struck
away with knife until the pile is re-
duced to two. And there is famous
Japanese trick in which number of
bricks are taken and balanced on a
stick, and one by one knocked away
without disturbing the rest; the pile is
thrown upright in the air off the top
of the stick, crack! away the stick
knocks the bottom brick, the stick is
instantly dropped to the upright, and
the shortened pile drops in perfect bal
ance on the top. to be again thrown
| up and lose one of it's number.

NEW ROLLER SKATING CRAZE
New York Rink Manager Says 1t
Helps in Modern Dancing--Aids
Confidence and Grace.

The roller skating craze has broken
out anew here, according to a New
York letter to the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. With a dozen or more Kinks
crowded and a Neutrality-suspicious. race
on rollers attracting an enthusiastic
crowd the old indoor sport bids fair
to win back many of its devotees who
have become dancing mad On the
other hand, it has been discovered
that by taking few whirls around
the rooms on rollers you will learn the
modern steps. This is according to
the manager of the largest rink.
Its strange thing" he said, but
a great many of my patrons have told
me recently that they really never
thoroughly understood nor appreciated
the modern dances until they had
taken up roller skating Proficiency
on the roller skates seems to give
them added confidence and grace
when dancing, with the result that
many who before were but fair dam
GERS are now really quite expert"
Which probably accounts for the
fact that there is almost as much
interest shown in the roller skating
contests now as there is in the one
step and fox trot competitions.

owing to the fact that it had been her

Some Mohammedans in San Francisco
had written to high dignitary that
we might be expected and they hoped
every possible obstacle would be put
in our way, and as the Moro's idea of
an obstacle seldom falls short of death
you can see the danger was very real.
The first day we did go out, accom-
panied by the bishop and an armed es-
cort, we took the precaution to leave
a note of instruction with Mr.. Ellis,
the banker, telling what should be
done in case we did not return.
Yet we did go out and nothing hap,
pened And after a few weeks both
Miss Young and myself went out quite
alone. When Miss Katherine Buffum,
also a volunteer, joined us, she took
charge of our industrial class, which
was a great success, and Mrs. Tryon,
the trained nurse, started in with a
will to assist Mr.. Thompson, who had
charge of the dispensary, supervised
by Col. Charles Lynch. By the way,
we were told before it started that we
would be lucky if we had three pa
tients during month. The first 80
days we treated nearly six hundred,
many coming from the other side of
the island. This pleased US very much,
as it meant we had gained the conf
dence and were getting hold of the

ent and much more difficult to get at

RIGHT FEED FOR BROOD sow
Satisfactory Results Obtained at Wis,
consin Station With Corn, Mid
dlinas and Alfalfa.

On farms where many kinds Of
grain are grown, there should be little
or no difficulty in providing a suitable
ration.
For several years mature brood
sows in the Wisconsin experiment sta
ton herd have been fed rations COM
posed of one-third corn, one-third
wheat bran or alfalfa. Such feeds are
satisfying and bulky, ana at the same
time sufficiently nutritious to cause
the sowS to gain from so to IS
pounds in live weight during preg-
nancy.
A mixture of equal parts, by weight,
of the feeds mentioned, fed in the form
of thick slop, is always very salts
factory. This insures am equal proper
ton and distribution of the various
feeds and is relished by the animals.
The corn may be fed on the ear and
the alfalfa need not be cut, and the
rest of the ration should be given as
thick slop
Brood sows, weighing from 900 to
$50 pounds, usually can be kept on
one VI the ABOVE TdtloHS IOr ABOUT
$3.50 month.
If you live in section where these
can be grown, sugar beets or giant
half sugar mangels may be used to
form the bulky portion of the ration
and to replace the bran.
The sugar beets or mangels can be
cut up and fed raw or may be cooked
and with middlings and other meal
made into thick slop.
Soy beans kept on the vine make
excellent winter feed for swine. They
can be stacked in or near the hog lot
in the fall and fed out as needed. The
hogs will get abundant exercise work
ing over the pile of vines in search
of the beans.

Dark Barns a Menace.

Well lighted horse or dairy stalls
are even more imperative during the
winter months than in the summer,
since the absence of light lowers the
temperature. Then, leading the ami
mails forth into the glare of day after
their long confinement in the gloomy
stalls is liable to bring on defective
eyesight, while the poorly lighted
stalls also contribute to the advance
ment of almost every known ailment

CBy MICHAEL K. BoYER.)

Or late dry feeding is becoming
quite popular, although it is not a
new idea in the poultry ranks. Fully
rs years ago the matter was agitated
and adopted by some poultrymen, but
| as a general thing it was not favor
ably received.
The argument used today in favor
of dry mash and whole grain diets
are: First, after fowls become used
to it, they will prefer the ground grain
dry to that which is either cooked or
steamed; second, it is labor-saving
method; third, it keeps fowls in a
more healthy condition; and fourth,
better fertility to the eggs.
AT first the fowls will not take very
kindly to the dry feed. AS meat scrap
is mixed with it, they will pick out all
such, then probably the corn meal. or
some may prefer the bran, but all of
it is seldom consumed until the
fowls become accustomed to it.
Gradually they will eat more and
more of it, finally cleaning up the
trough.
Another benefit is that after eating
few mouthfuls they will repair to
the drinking vessel and secure sew
eral swallows of water, then back
again to the trough and so on during
the entire meal.
1t is claimed that more water is
consumed by dry-fed fowls, and as
water enters largely into the compo-
sition of eggs, increased egg-produc-
ton should be the result.
The method is a great labor saver.
It is possible to both feed and water
the stock in the same time it takes to
prepare the wet mash and feed it.
The writer prefers feeding the dry
mash in troughs instead of hoppers,
unless hopper is used that will be
proof against rats and mice. Such a
hopper must be made of galvanized
iron, and should be made to close at
night and be opened in the morning.
If large enough to hold sufficient
material for several days feeding, still
more labor can be saved.
There is also decided advantage

overfat hens, and consequently there
will be fewer soft-shelled and de-
formed or illshaped eggs.
There will be fewer cases of bowel
troubles and less trouble with indi-
gestion. Wet mash allowed to re-
main in troughs any length of time
during the hot weather will sour.
which is the cause of many cases of
sickness.
For growing chicks it is recommend
ed. They eat few mouthfuls and
then take a swallow of water and
scamper off for run. In a few mo-
ments they return and repeat the
dose.
They never gorge themselves, and
when they feel little hungry little
food helps them out.
At night an extra allowance of food
is placed in small boxes in their
houses, so that the youngsters can
help themselves at break of day.
Nothing gives a chick a worse set
back than pining for food.
But we like only the mash to be
fed fowls in that way. The whole
grain should be strewn along some
light litter, like leaves or cut straw,

strategy In Tongue Inspection.

Everyone who has ever tried to get
a very small child to put out your
tongue" for inspection, or to open her
mouth wide, that the suspected tongue
might be viewed, knows how hard a
matter it is to really see either the
condition of the tongue or tonsils, be-
cause the baby will not straighter
out her tongue or open her mouth wide
enough. l have gotten around this
difficult by putting a drop of honey
or molasses on the tip end of the
child's chin, and asking her to lick 1t
off. The process of licking of gives
me a good. unhurried view of
the straight, extended tongue; it also
causes her to open her mouth so wide
that can see her tonsils and the back
of her throat. And all this without
worrying the baby, for she thinks it
is a game.-Good Housekeeping Mag

so that the birds must scratch for
all they get.
This exercise is needed.
The grain should be given at least
an hour before the time for them to
go to roost, so that ample time is
given them to hunt. If thus fed in
scratching shed, the fowls will con-
tinue their search the next morning
at break of day. and the attendant
will find them hard at work when he
comes around to give them their
breakfast.

John kissed her. Then IT'S all right

It's all right, you're sure, are you,

Yes, it's all right, John. You know

thing. All the girls in town might as
we'll have cried from the housetops,

perfectly plain in hundred little
ways that they we're shocked.
Daisy could stand it no longer She
cried herself to sleep one night, blam-
ing John for all her suffering. The
next morning she sent him a note.
Dear John, | am sorry, but cannot
marry you. Don't ask me why, please.

that l am not as happy as an engaged

Spring and summer passed. On the
pretty south slope of the orchard hill
stood a new little stone-and-shingle
bungalow. And there had been enough
hay, oats and corn, after filling the
barn, to furnish the attractively tinted
rooms with what John called modern
up-to-date furniture.
Then, twice in September, John
went home from church with the Mer-
rimansl So it was pretty Alice Mer-
riman to whom John was now paying
attention and who would probably
take the place in Johns heart and the
new home that Daisy still felt was
rightfully hers! What terrible mis-
take she had made! It was more
than she could bear. So one day she
packed up and left her sisters house
for a long visit to an aunt in the city

her purse was small. and it did Daisy
