firm is very easily performed in your
own room.
Lie fiat upon the floor with your legs
outstretched and your arms laid against
your sides. Attempt to bring yourself
to sitting position without the aid of
your arms or hands
At first you will doubtless be unable
to do it unless you put your toes under
some fixed object about six inches from
the floor
You will, however. feel the drag on
the abdominal muscles and will quickly
realize how strongly they are brought
into play.
When you can raise your body in this
way 20 times in succession the SUPER
fiuous flesh will be rapidly pulled of
the abdominal muscles and your hips
will lose their fiabbiness.
The exercise of bending over and
touching the floor with the palms of
your hands without bending your knees
Is an admirable movement to keep the
waist muscles trim and flexible. and
this exercise gives elasticity to your
whole body.

The incident is not without its applica-
ton in any American community. There
is too little respect for constituted author
ity. Too many people, particularly young
people, fail to realize that representative
of the city or county or state or nation is
not an individual, wilfully preventing them

an embodiment of the public authority OF

Worthless Stock.

GP HIS is the harvest of lot Of crooks as
constituencies as any that ever in
u tested the country. They are the
promoters of fraudulent .stock-jobbing
schemes and the agents who knowingly sell
trusting men and women their worthless
securities
The harvest is big. The nation is pros
porous 1t has more ready money than
ever before, either in cash or in negotiable
government bonds. Nearly everybody owns
bonds. And just because their possession
is so widespread, thousands of their owners
fail to appreciate their full value and trade
them, at the suggestion of plausible agents,
for securities" that promise larger re-
turn but are in reality worth little or moth
ing.
The public has been fleeced out of hun
dreds of millions of dollars in this way dur
ing the past year. 1t may lose hundreds
of millions more.
Every man OF woman contemplating the
investment OF money should be on the
watch for these sharpers, remembering that
this is a particularly dangerous time to in
vest in any unknown enterprise. Liberty
bonds had better be kept, no matter what
the temptation to spend or trade them. If
stocks are bought, the ordinary buyer had
better confine his investments to the list

lose money, then, but he will not lose his
whole investment as he may if he CANDLES

STANDARD securities" are the best. ANY
good lawyer or business man can tell the

Graft-Ridden Mexico.

I'm USSELL FL. MILWARD, a scientist
TX and explorer who has spent several
u Il months in Mexico, gives discourage
ing account of the conditions he found
there. Speaking of Yucatan and the Gulf
coast particularly, he wrote recently:
"The representatives of the present government
appear to have gone mad the subject of graft
Nothing is small and nothing too large for them
to appropriate.
THE entire country is Observation-Disclosures
government and ALL Robbery and blackmau are
thousands of without work and have been
forced by hunger to turn thieves"
And all this after period which offered
Mexico unrivaled opportunity to grow rich
through the development of her vast re-
sources and the sale of her raw materials
to the belligerent nations.
Mr.. Milward sees little hope for Mexico
as long as the present regime continues.
Neither does anybody else. Carranza and
his crowd have been tried and found want
ing. With as good chance as any ruler
ever had to prove himself patriot and
statesman, Carranza has failed to make
good. 1t will be happy day for Mexico
when some man who combines strength
with common sense takes his place.
