Treatment Of Spring Fever

With the coming of Spring, one has
a feeling of lassitude, disinclina-
ton to work and a desire to sit, rest
and day dream. This is caused by
clogging of the system during the
Winter months and for the lack of
Spring Fever"
How are we to overcome this dull
ness? In this age of progressiveness
we have outgrown the sulphur and
molasses mixture that our grand
parents thought SO necessary when
the first warm days appeared
We have learned that the lack of
sufficient action causes this lassitude.
1t is natural that there will be an
inactive state of the blood when
warm weather begins. During the
winter months the cold has kept the
blood tingling through the veins.
The circulation then continues high
as long as the cold bourp it up, but
when the weather becomes warm
the circulation retards thus becoming
slower and slower.
When the action of the blood be-
comes sluggish, eruptions generally
appear on the skin. Since nature
takes away the necessary stimula-
ton we must devise some means.
Exercise then must be the means
to this end. Careful selection of
foods taken into the system must be
considered. II you play tennis. plan
to rise forty-five or sixty minutes
earlier; play several games before
entering upon the regular duties of
the day. Perhaps you do not care
for the game, then work in the flow
er beds or gardens of take long
walk in the fresh open air. Walking
IS an invaluable exercise. Breathe
deeply as you go along, filling the
lungs with pure oxygen. On return
ing, after a few minutes rest, take
quick cold bath, if your heart ac-
ton is good.
Fats and sweets clog the system
Leave these off for while and eat
plenty of vegetables and fruits
Green vegetables, especially spinach

Some Of the Things They Don't Know


Except for the clubwomen and the
suffragists, who have learned the
ways of elections in their own con-
ventions, women have only blurred
conceptions Of what a ballot looks
like.
They don't know why is a party
OF course today only -nrty leaders
know that, but the time may come
when it will again be a Worthwhile
piece of public information.
They don't know the problems
that confronts the country, the state,
their own homes towns, and they
don't know the Importance OF know
ing the qualifications OF the candi-
dates who profess to be able to
handle those problems They don't
know what portion of the country's
trials and the worlds entanglements
to attribute to economies and what
to the play Of politics on economic.
They don't know the Government is
constituted, and whom to blame for
what.
But just one thing be sure: Wo-
men are never going up to the bal
lot box without answers to the ques-
tons that a man wants to ask and
is ashamed to. Every women who
has. been with her husband when he
got lost, on land or sea. or down in
the subway, knows how hard it is
for him to admit his ignorance and
ask even when salvation depends
on it. Women won't be like that,
because they can't be. It's not in
them to hold back question when
they need the answer.
All over the country women are
picking conscientious way through
questions and answers toward in
formed and qualified citizenship.
State by state, they are forging end
less chains of questions, they are
starting citizenship schools"
Few Questions We Must Answer.
Who is citizen?
How does one become a citizen?
What part does the citizen have in
this Government?
Does he have the same part in all
governments?
What does a citizen share in gov
eminent?
What is an election?
When are elections held?
