HEALTH ADVICE

The body's blood supply is "laun-
dered" in the lungs. AS the blood
stream passes through them the i'm
purities are removed and oxygen is
supplied.
But If this washing of the blood
Is to be done properly we must have
pure air to breathe and must take
advantage of all our available lung
capacity by deep breathing.
A s%louching carriage when walk
ing. or a stoop-shouldered posture
when sitting, contracts the chest
and seriously interferes with proper
breathing and therefore with proper
publication of the blood.
Avoid acquiring a stoop if your
daily occupation is such that you
must work at a desk or sewing ma
chine. STOPPING is responsible for
faulty circulation of the blood and
for other evils besides impaired
breathing.
Remember that your blood cannot
be properly washed" with half a
|lungful of air more than you can
take a proper bath in a few pints
of water.
Learn to sit straight and breathe
deep. Twice a day morning and
dCllCc DTedl4luS eAeT-
cises. Fill your lungs slowly and to
their utmost capacity and then slow
ly empty them.
Many puny children have been de-
|veloped into strong vigorous men
and women through breathing exer-
cises and physical culture.
Remember, one of the most effec-
tive barriers to consumption is a
|well-developed pair OF lungs.
Nasal diphtheria may be of a most
active or malignant type. In such
cases the disease usually spreads to
the middle ear and there r pro-
Inounced symptoms of toxic or poison
ing action.
According to Welch and Scham-
berg paralysis very frequently fol-
lows diphtheria of the nasal type
for the reason that the lining
membrane of the nose readily absorbs
the poison of the disease which is
quickly carried to susceptible tissues.
bringing about harmful effect upon
heart and nerve tissues.

DAILY HOROSCOPE


Thursday, September Z, 1920 1
Copyright, 1920, by The Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
After the noon hour this should be
a fortunate day for most human ac-
tivities, according to astrologers.
Jupiter, Mercury and Uranus are In
strongly benefc aspect
The mind should be Quickened
and the courage augmented where
large business projects are involved,
during this rule of the stars.
Again there appears to be offered
great commercial opportunities in
which II is possible to profit because
Of the misfortunes OF others.
1t will be recalled that occuitists
declared wars would not cease If
the great offensive ended under the
rule that prevailed when the last
cannon were fred. There lie warn
ing in the stars today.
Unusual danger of hunting acci-
dents is foreshadowed for this au-
tumn, when there will be much
game to lure sportsmen.
New popularity for the horse
drawn vehicles Is foretold and rid
ing will be more popular than it has
been for many years.
Uranus is in an aspect supposed
to encourage intrigue and even
treachery. Women should be es-
pecially cautious while the sinister
influences are strong.
The tongue should be bridled as
never before, the seers warn, for
SANDER, scandal and libel are fore
cast.
Builders and architects are now
under a direction of the planets
making for great prosperity.
Washington, Chicago and San
Francisco are all subject to stimu-
lating and favorable aspects of the
stars.
Hospitals should prepare for a
busy period that may be rather pro-
longed.
Persons whose birthdate It is
should cultivate a calm and happy
state of mind. They have fairly
promising prospects for the year if
they take no risks in business.
Children born on this day may
find it necessary to employ all their
talents in starting their careers but
they will probably succeed.

SUCH is LIFE

Fashions latest ultimatum sticks
the knife (hguratively speaking) in
to the table knife.
Use a fork.
yes. ii is hard, but fashion Is fash
ion, custom is not to be denied, and
dictates are dictates.
II you want to be really there don't
use the table knife. Keep your hand
on it. Let it lie in calm repose.
Use your fork.
What though the meat Is fought
Saw at it with your fork. Knives
are relegated to the kitchen where
one peels potatoes and slices bread.
on, my goodness! No well-bred
parsonage uses his knife to chop up
the array of food upon his plate. He
whacks at it with his fork. This has
one advantage. You won't eat so
lhurriedly, not il the beefsteak is like
beefsteak always is. And, maybe Il
will persuade butchers from selling
sole leather as tenderloin.
When Hector was q pup a knife
was a handy implement to have on
the table. <One used 1t. 1t came in
handy cutting things into mouthfui
size, and then n could transfer
quite a collection of food from the
plate to the lips on a nice broad
knife.
But this pleasant practice was
ditched when a few careless persons
swallowed their knives. Surgeons
didn't like being called away from
their dinners to sew up slices in faces
Of careless knife handlers.
So knife juggling at tables ceased.
The anti-knife law, though, really
owed its existence to the gang then
putting newly invented forks on the
market.
So goes the knife.
Years and years ago. when only
the best people had knives on the
table it was a mark of distinction to
be able to use a knife on one's food.
Before then, the diners used a
sharp stick to spear their food out
of the common stew bowl.
Did you know that when the stick
custom was first inaugurated those
happy folks who had been digging
the roast beef out OF the kettle with
their hands kicked like blazes?
They insisted one could get his
share only by going after the food
with his hands. Others said this
was unfair to persons with small
hands. The small-hand crowd won.
Eating sticks came in. to be follow
ed by the knife, and then the fork.

In the second place. this Is = mighty
big country and il Il is to be covered
thoroughly II is going 10 take a pile
Of money to do It.
We think It was President Butler.

candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President who said that It
cost about one million dollar to mere
ly send a circular letter to every voter
in the country once. The cost of

needed, the clerical force that must
be hired to secure the addresses and
get the circulars in the mail, the
headquarters that must be rented to
do the work in. the typewriters, not
to mention the postage, altogether
run into big figures.
But to conduct a presidential cam
paign 1t requires more than merely
sending out one circular to each voter
in the country. There are the halls
to hire. the bands to employ. the but
tons and badges that are given out
the thousands in every community.
the travelling expenses OF the candi-
dates and the speakers who tour the
country-ali run into millions Of dol
lars. Anyone who stops TO think will
realize that it requires a big cam
paign fund these days to properly
manage a presidential election.
Isn't It about time, then, to let up
this howl about the money being
raised to run the campaign by the
political parties and devote
more attention to the real issues of
the day7 The only point that inter-
ests the people in regard to the
money raised for the campaign is
whether 1t is spent legitimately or
not. There is no question that eight
ten million dollars can be spent
Iegitimately in electing a President
when 1t Is realized that the suffragists
spent $4,000 within a few days In
there efforts to get the Tennessee
to ratify the suffrage
amendment. and no charge is made
that any of this $4,000 was used as
a corruption fund.
Let's not be blinded by this kind
Of campaign agitation. Discuss the
in a constructive so
that the voting may be done intelli-
There is not the least faint
Of fraud anywhere in spite Of all the
talk about millions. Legitimate ex-
penses have got to be met and both
are going to require a big
pile to do it before the election Is
held.

THE STRAIGHT JACKET
nv DIR. JAMES I. VANCE.


1t is a garment I have worn, but
never from choice. There is a notion
that it is a style which encourages
right living. My own experience is
that I eve felt in a more unholy
mood than when thus attired. The
straightforward made the forbidden
fascinating. 1t clothed wicked things
with a wonderful charm, until even
the devil himself seemed to wear a
halo.
1t is a trait of human nature to
want what it can't get, and to hunger
and thirst for what is beyond its
reach. This is a splendid passion
when used to give zest to the quest
for virtue; but it plays havoc when
used to enhance the charm of evil.
Here Is where the straight-jacket
comes in. 1t is making the for
hidden magnetic by Harvesting us so
that it Is just beyond our reach. A
boy may not be thirsty, but tell him
he cannot have a drink until recess,
and his lips parch and his tongue
hangs out.
The plan of making people good
by being o~ver-strict is a failure. OF
course there is a danger in going to
the other extreme. Human nature
is not ready for the repeal of Sinai.
But more children are ruined by a
policy that is too strict than by one
that is too lenient.
The business of parents is not to
control their children. but to teach
their children to control themselves.
No one is ,any better than what he
wants to do. The straight-jacket may
tie him UP while he has it on, but
when he breaks Jail. look out. AS
one thinketh in his heart, so is he.
The straight-jacket and the religion
.of gloom belong to the same outfit.
They bark from the days of the
inquisition. Neither has Gods sane
ton.
Thy gentleness hath made me
great" This is the divine method
of training character.
