THE WEALTHY sLACKERs.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
Up to the present, I have always
taken the rich mans part in the way
OF encourag ing him to become richer
and always advised the poor working
idiot to emulate the rich mans
tactics.
I believe that any man or associa-
ton OF men has the right TO buy and
sell and own the world II they can.
Let it be a few rich men or let IL be
the many working men.
The world is here TO take and they
may take who have the power and
they may keep who can" I believe IS
the only honest logic.
To read the newspapers and listen
TO the holler OF the wealthy in the
United States senate and congress
about taking their wealth for the
prosecution Of the war, makes even q
Socialist county chairman like myself
sick OF such towards and slackers.
There is no use now TO holler at the
army and navy. They are going to
use what they need and no power on
earth can keep them from using any
ealth or material they may need
Men who boiler about the nation
taking their wealth for the prosecu-
ton OF the war. at this stage OF the
game, should be shot. especially when
boys by the millions are training for
a premature death, mostly on their
account. S. L. Hughes.

BEAUTY CHATS.

~ you exercise snough2 Few
women do. Many women indig-
- nantly point TO the fact that
they do a lot Of homework, or that
they walk long squares to an office
daily-and yet wonder when I repeat
that they do not exercise enough. II
you have a fiat chest. the housework
won't help much TO strengthen II, IN
less you do as some women I know
do, and turn your Homework into
scientific exercising.
No matter whether you are fat or
thin, or whether you are aenemic or
quite healthy, there are a couple Of
exercises that you should take daily.
First, upon arising, deep breathing.
Twelve deep breaths OF pure air
should be taken before you close the
windows and dress II your chest is
flat Start breathing with the hands
Eeld n front OF you, on level with
the shoulders, and as you breathe
bring the arms back as far as you can
get them, till you feel the tug on the
muscles OF your chest. Repeat with
every breath Some women with fair
" well developed chests get as good
results from gradually raising the
arms above the head, from a loosely
hanging position at the sides.
Undoubtedly this breathing exercise
Is the most important one. for few OF
US bousebred mortais breathe enough
fresh air. There is a vital difference
between the air that comes sweeping
across the prairies and the air that
filters in through the doors and win
doWs OF a house
The exercise Of STOPPING over quick
", and from a position where the
hands are held above the head to one
where they touch the floor. is another
that almost every woman should prac-
tise daily; II keeps the muscles Won
derfully supple and young
