STRETCH YOURSELF.


A splendid thing for the body is
stretching. When you first wake
up in the morning, take good, long
stretch. Stretch the hands as far
out sideways as possible Then
stretch them over the head as far as
you can reach, and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far a.
you can. Raise the feet and stretch
upward just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly.
When you get out of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and.
standing on tiptoc, see how near you
can reach the ceiling Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is a
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong

ing, studying, writing or sewing and
the muscles have become tired and
cramped, the best thing to do is to
get UP and stretch. Stretch the
arms upward and outward and for
ward and backward Lift the shout
ders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply, or, sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor ands stretch
them forward as far as possible,
any way so you give the muscles a
good, vigorous stretch.
When one IS very tired, there is
nothing more restful than stretch
ing the muscles and then relaxing.

"STRANGE OATHS.e

Before Mr.. Justice White took the
oath Of chief justice he was required
to subscribe to the "oath of allegi-
ance" required of all ex-Confeder-
ates entering upon federal Office.
When Judge Buchanan presented
himself in the Tennessee supreme
court as member OF. that body APP
pointed by the governor few days
ago, he was called upon, under the
law Of the state, to swear that he
had. not engaged in duel since the
passage Of the statute on the subject
and that be would not do so during
his term of Office.
1t is well that judges on the bench
be bound by sufficient formal obi,
cations and pledges. At the SAM
tine such oaths as those mentioned
were formulated for times far other
than the present, and it might be
well 10 abolish them.

LOUISVILLE TINES HITS
AT Tie FILMING OF
PkTERNAlISM
" NOT SURPRISING"
"Demagogues' and "Time-serv-
ers" Might Be Expected to
Vote For Prohibition, Says
Editor Who Pays His Respects
To Governor of Indiana

Under the caption "Paternalism
Filmed" the Louisville (Ky.) Times
has the following to say concerning the
action of Governor Goodrich of In
diana, in having himself filmed
while signing the dry" law:
Paternalism takes on the airs and
graces Of the period. Interference
with what remnants of personal lib
erty-what fragments of individual
volition-we still enjoy, has been
filmed at last, and Governor Goodrich,
of Indiana, presents a wondering world
the spectacle of the chief executive of
a great commonwealth playing in a
prohibition scenario; and bestowing
cord of penholders upon horde OF
clamoring zealots who would carry
back to an unthinking constituency
concrete evidence of their enthusiasm
for putting their fingers into their
neighbors' business.
So far as prohibition, per Sc, is con.
cerned. there is nothing surprising
in the fact that the demagogues and
time-servers of Indiana should vote for
such a bill 1t is not even surprising
that they should carry their usurpa-
tons SO far as to provide that news
papers carrying liquor advertising
may not be circulated in Indiana. But
that the governor of a sovereign state
should make motion picture specta-
Gle of himself in, the act OF ratifying an
interference with the commOnest con-
stitutional liberty of the population is
remarkable enough.
People Are Patient.
The people must possess their souls
in patience. Ii is not conceivable
that much longer will they submit to
their exploitation by political hired
men. who seek nothing but public of
fee. their objective easy gain, the
means, votes of gullible moralists; who
see in their dreams the feasibility OF
| fiat morality.
Governor Goodrich hales his family
| into the executive chamber to witness
the signing CT this oppressive and pre-
sumptuous act Action, ready, go
|
the governors elbow; and he then
pokes his pen deep into the private
lives and purposes of the people of the
state of Indiana. The governor left nc
stone unturned to inform his left hand
and the people Of Indiana-of what
his right hand was doing.
Nothing could illustrate more lu
minously the general purpose of prohi
bition propaganda than the perform
ances of Governor Goodrich. Virtue
might have been left to reward Itself
if there were no votes to win in In
diana. But when paternalist meets
votes then must come moving pic
lures: or some other fashionable form
of publicity. SO far, however, Cover
nor Goodrich wins the pup for the as
surance with which he parades pater
nalism as a medium OF political cir
culation.

BRYAN's NATIONAL Newspapers

Brother Billy Bryan, the great Commoner, proposes the estab
hshment of a chain of national newspapers to be under the control
of the federal government.
This would be fine! It's a wonder that somebody hadn't thought
If 1t before! It's the simplest thing in the world!
Already 1t is alleged IN some quarters that many of the great
metropolitan newspapers are under the command of that invisible
government that we frequently read about.
why not let them come out into the open where the people can
SET what the invisible government is doing and proposes to do!
Mr. Wilson Cor whoever the president happens to be for the
time being) could be the editorinchief. That's a big sounding title
that is usually responsive to the behcst of the owners of the pubica-
ton.
Brother Bryan could be the managing editor. That's another
big title that carries immense authority and is supposed to control
the news features.
- Brother Josephus Daniels could be the news editor; Brother
lumulty the society editor; Son-inlaw McAdoo the financial editor;
brother Lansing the editor of foreign news; Brother Redfed the
commercial editor, and So 0 Il and so forth.
The idea is worthy the brain that conceived it. It's a wonder
that somebody hadn't thought of such a simple thing long ago!
We second Brother Bryan's moton-nit!

PRAISES SCHOOL OF MUSIC,
University Of South Dakota is Fourth
in Music.

Only three other American state
universities are said to have as good
schools of music as that at the Uni
.fyersity of South Dakota which is IN
der the direction of Dean Ethelbert
w. Grabill, formerly a student of Hen
rich Barth, Berlin, and also of the
Goncinnatl Conservatory of Music.
Howard Bostian, supervisor of music
in the schools at Buh1, idaho, closed
a letter to the dean OF the College of
Music at the University of South Da-
kota with this statement:
"And now, Dean, before | close, I
wish to express my appreciation of
your College Of Music. | wondered
while there how the students, most of
whom came from small towns, towns
that were absolutely divorced from
experiencing anything that even APP
proximated good music-wondered
how so many of the students could
take the college SO indifferently, so
alphabetically as they did. Not even
in a large city can they enjoy such adj
~cvantages; the fine concerts by facul-
ty and outside artists, at such ridic-
ulously low prices; the rare choral
and orchestral training and the vari-
Gus other classes all free for the ask
ing; and, above all, the excellent fac
ulty and such absurdly low buttons.

feet sand in soft, Persian rugs, where
the eye delighted in rich hangings-
and where your ear was tortured by
%atrocious playing. / have paid a dol
