CONQUERING THE CRAMP.
Rules Swimmer Should Follow Whom
an Attack Comes On.


an Attack Comes On.
| A cramp is merely contraction of
the muscles caused by the penetration
of the cold. Obviously it could not of
itself cause drowning. Its worst effect,
according to the Popular Science
Monthly, is to cause panic which
throws the swimmer off his guard,
causing him to let the air out Of his
lungs and thus allow the air passages
to become filed with water. The safe
guards against such panic are absolute
confidence in the floating power of the
body and demonstrable knowledge of
the proper way to fill the lungs quickly
to utmost capacity with air.
The moment a cramp is felt the swim
mer should turn on his back and begin
to gulp the air, making no effort to
keep himself from sinking. AS he
sinks he slowly exhales under water,
through the mouth, with the lips
puckered as for whistling. If it is a
stomach cramp the knees will be drawn
up against the abdomen, but the swim
mer should force them out, pushing on
them with both hands and using all his
strength until they are fully extended.
This will no doubt cause great pain
for a few seconds, but as soon as the
legs are Strengthened out the cramp
will vanish, and the body, buoyed up
by the air in the lungs, will shoot up
to the surface. There, still inhaling in
great gulps and exhaling through
puckered lips, the swimmer may float
until he regains his strength or is pick
ed up.
In case Of cramp I'm the leg or arm the
same system Of breathing is followed,
and the affected part Is Strengthened
out by sheer strength.

Getting the Air.

have known city men, hundreds of
them. who had firm conviction that
one OF the greatest obstacles In their
way to becoming healthy lay in the
fact that city air has less ozone in It
than the air up state or at the seashore
True. the air down by the sidewalks
would not assay as high in ozone as
that In the Catskill mountains, but the
difference chemically is SO slight that
It isn't worth talking about.-Dr. Z. r.

THIRTY DOLLARS

The dance given Monday evening by
the local lodge Knights of Pythias
starts Battery B mess fund off with
$50. The proceeds of the dance after
all expenses had been paid amounted
to sgt and John Brog, F. II. Lincoln
and II. E. Munday donated one dollar
each.
In spite of the fact that the dance
did not start until after the Navy
League benefit show at the Princess
and that many of the dancers had
spent the day helping the orchardists
harvest the Elberta peach crop the af-
fair was we'll attended and in every
way success.
None of the boys of Battery B were
in attendance, but a number of the
Idaho Guardsmen, who know how
monotonous regular army rations be-
come, came over from Pasco to enjoy
themselves and to help swell the
"good eats" fund of their comrades.
The money collected Monday night
will be held in the lodge treasury un-
til Battery B has established mess,
which will not be until they have been
ordered to some one of the regular
army training camps. At present they
are being boarded at hotels and res
taurants in Walla Wallas Additional
contributions large or small will be
cheerfully received and should be left
with V. w. Bird or the lodge treasurer.
DR.. L. G. Spaulding visited the ar
tillery boys in Walla Walla yesterday
and reports them making fine pro-
gress. All of the boys without excep-
ton, he says, seem to be well pleased
with the service and are showing a
splendid interest in the training. Lieut..
F. r. Jeffrey says he is working 16
hours a day. When he isn't busy in
assisting to train the men he is at
work mastering military rules and
tactics and fitting himself to handle
those duties which his rank carries
with it.
That the battalion is making good
progress is shown by the following
from the columns of yesterdays Wal
la Walla Union:
Brigadier General Henry Jervey, Of
the western department of the U. S.
army spent the day in Walla Walla
yesterday, inspecting the field artil-
lery battalion being organized here
and also looking over Fort Walla Wal
IA with Major P. H. Weyrauch.
In the evening he ate dinner with
several prominent local citizens.
Whether his visit means the inn
mediate re-garrisoning of Fort Walla
Walla is not known, as General Jer-
vey was reticent in talking.
He complimented the field artillery
on the progress it has made in such
short time.

JAPANESE KNOTS.
They Have . Language Of Their Own,
and Their Making IL an Art.


and Their Making IL an Art.
The Japanese have no use for buttons
buckles or hooks and eyes. Cord serves
every purpose of fastening and furnish
es artistic possibilities seemingly with
out end.
The japanese have hundreds of knots
made necessary by the ornamental use
Of cord. Some are as old as the time
when history was recorded by series
of knots, just as it was in China and
Peru before writing was invented.
There are dozens Of knots in common
and ceremonial usage, and these every
child can tie.
In one educational museum of Japan
is a great frame Of the most beautiful
knots, tied in silken and gold thread.
This had formed part Of Japan's ex-
hibit at certain worlds fair. For six
months this wonderful collection had
hung upon the wall and only two visit
Ors had noticed and inquired about It.
Even these thought the knots must be
Industrial samples intended for dress
trimmings. No one offered to buy the
unique exhibit, no museum begged for
it, and the wonderful knots were taken
home again.
There Is an appeal to the imagination
even in the knots intended for common
use. There are plum blossom, cherry
blossom, iris, chrysanthemum and pine
tree knots. There are fujiyama knots,
turtle and stork knots, the "o1d MANS"
which is easy to tie, and the "old wo-
mans" also.
There is only one way of knotting
cord when sending New Years or
birthday gift and another for doing up
funeral offering. There is one way to
tie the brocade bag of the tea jar when
It Is full and another when It is empty.
A sword bag, flag or spear bag, dis
patch bag, or the box containing some
precious piece Of porcelain or lacquer,
must each be tied in certain way.
The I'll bred person classes himself
with the foreigner by ignoring such
niceties Of custom, and an object tied
in slovenly manner may not only bear
witness to the sender's ignorance, but
1t may carry with 1t deadly insult. ~
