The Spaniards have saying that q

yet differ from these same things.
First, she should be like a snail, which
always guards its house, but she
should not carry the house with her
whenever she goes out. Second, she
should be like an echo, which speaks
only after the other is finished. but
she should not always have the last
word, and last, she should be like the
town clock, which always sounds the
hours with regularity. but she should
not sound so loud that the whole town

United States Health Service Advises
Exercises That Have Been
Found Efficient.

In the treatment of weak feet in
children the following exercises have
been found efficient, according to the
United States public health service:
1. Tiptoe exercise: The patient
places the limbs in the attitude Of
moderate inward rotation, raises the
body on the toes to the extreme limit,
the limbs being fully extended at the
knees, then sink slowly, resting the
weight on the outer borders of the
feet: repeat about twenty to thirty
times.
