The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-06-16

Fl. f. Mccormick, president Of the
International Harvester Co., spoke
in New York before an industrial re-
search class. His talk concerning
his bonus and works council plans
was interesting, but my own interest
was in the man first and his topic,
rather more remote than himself Sec
ond.
After the class several of us talked
informally with Mr.. Mccormick. He
Lit his pipe - for even corporation
presidents smoke. His z tobacco
pouch, rather torn by use, it seemed.
was bullying full. and some of the
contents spilled on the clean table.
He filled his pipe and then brushed
back into his pouch the spilled weed.
Somebody lit him a match. He did
singular thing; he took the match
in his own hand and lit his pipe;
neither did his nose get burned by
careless hand nor was the match
held longer time than he wished
and knew was necessary. ALI the
while his eyes were jovial.
I wonder if more of us just brush
ed up the spillings and increased
thus our reserves-no matter in what
we deal; and likewise when fire must
be handled if we handled it ourselves,
then smiled too, couldn't we be cor

BRAWLEYITES

Brawley and Ell Centre will cross
bats tomorrow afternoon on the local
diamonds if the present plans are not
changed over night, according to the
announcement of John M. Kepley, cap
tain of the local team this afternoon.
For time it was thought the game
would be cancelled owing to Brawley's
objected to the use of imported men,
"but all differences have been patched
as far as know now and the game
will be played as to schedule" said
Kepley.
Manager Gipe. of the Brawley team
and Kepley held tong conference
this morning and it is understood Ell
entro will use the regular battery in
this game.
A new man will be seen on first
base tomorrow, it was said, Pat Con-
ley having served his connections
with the local team. The reason is not
known. Cal Cooper will not take
hand in the contest either because of
severe cold which has placed him
on the sick list.
Albert Sickafoose will attempt to
avenge the defeat handed him some
week past and will be seen on the

HEALTH OF MIND AND BODY
First Article


HEALTH OF MIND AND BODY
First Article
The body is an automatic machine
with an independence between all
functions, which are always working
for the improvement or the deterior-
alton of the structure. Generally
speaking, the more healthy and Wig
orous of function person is, the freer
the joints Of the frame will be found
to be. The healthy person who really
is, will be more active and free of
carriage and movement, than the one
who is less healthy. A wrestler who
keeps the whole of his spine free and
exercised by constantly performing
feats, such as arching his spine over
backward and supporting his weight
by head and feet, is the healthiest of
men, as well as being finer physical
speciment than ony other athlete.
A scholar may be an athlete and
an athlete scholar, but each must
exercise their dual abilities with
plenty of rest between. 1t is an ex-
ploded notion that an athlete can have
who takes intelligent care Of the body
is much less likely to commit the
sins of overeating, over drinking, over
working, or over anything as an habit
ual thing. He or she will have bet
ter understanding of their duties.
Health of mind and body are bound
up in each other. The average ply
sical culturist with a mind will ocme
out of a searching physical test better
than the dull witetd but we'll muscled
laborer, who has none Of the alertness
of mind and movement of the other.
Frame exercise for securing spinal
freedom is the first aim of phyical
culture, along with a carefully Sc
lected diet for perfect health of mind
and body.

REPLIES TO QUERIES
Insomnia
J. B.: In your case cup of hot
milk slipped slowly while hot, with a
pinch of salt in it, is good sleep pro-
ducer. No food should be taken with
it; not even a tiny wafer. Do no
mental work before retiring.
Sore Feet
Mrs. H. F.: Battle your feet in salt
and hot water. This will relieve the
tired feeling. For change try bran
bags in hot water (put some bran in
a muslin bag, squeeze the bag in hot
water, when the water looks milky
bathe the feet for 10 minutes. Do
not use the corn remedy or cut the
skin off as you have been doing.
