Rolling in Health.

| For the solemn party that packs a
| wicked box of pills for emergencies
| It must be positively ridiculous
| thought, somersaulting. No one
with much dignity would ever think
of so far unlimbering himself or dis
turbing his stagnant splanchnic pool.
But, soft, boys. Did you ever stop to
| think of course you didn't. I'm
merely using the rhetorical form
have you ever paused to reflect (and
from the looks of the pretty young
pause far too often and long to re-
flect--in fact. | wonder how their sis
ters ever get a good look at the mir
rors). Has it ever occurred to you
that senility is largely a matter Of
chronic progressive dignity? Do you
know what distinguishes a calf from
an old cow? Can you put your finger
on the point of difference between
the cub and the old bear? What is
the characteristic which tells you in
stinctively whether a figure seen afar
is that of youth OF an elder?
Healthy young children somersault
just from the Joy of living. They roll
'em because they feel so jolly well. A
little later they like to turn cart
wheels to express great joy or jollifi-
cation. A little later dignity over
takes them and repression gets in
some deadly work. That is about the
time when health begins to run away
on unexplained excursions. and if dig
nifty isn't properly restrained. all too
soon old age comes creeping over
them.
The savant, If such he was. who
first coined that platitude about the
| man being as old as his arteries was
all wrong. The arteries are as old as
the man. And old age Is not ques-
ton of years. 1t is a state of mind.
Any one who ever investigates old
age or studies shining examples of
persons who have long escaped it
knows that old age is a state of mind.
Honestly, 1 feel almost foolish about
this somersaulting business. 1t does
seem so childish. doesn't it? 1t does
if you are an old one. Young folks
are discovering day after day that it
isn't foolish at all, in practice. They
are learning that it is rather foolish
not to indulge in a few rolls every
day. It appears that 1t is possible.
within reasonable limitations, as I
am careful to say, to reverse the proc
ess to some degree-that is. while the
child somersaults because he feels the
JOY of living. the dignified adult may
recover some of the Joy of living by
somersaulting every day.
One great advantage of somersault-
ing as a health habit is that it takes
practically no time. A minute is am
pie time for a man or woman to roll
a dozen or two about the bedroom or
down the hall every morning on ris-
ing.

The Cherokees have an interesting

which they believe to be endowed with

be the voice Of the Yunevi Guna-

which the child may understand, while
the stream itself Is revered for its
power to seize and hold anything cast

EACH HAS PLACE IN LODGE
According to Custom, the Occupants
Of Indian Tepee Have Their
Allotted Space.

As there are six different ways of
building camp fires, 1t should be ex.
planned that my friends built theirs &C
cording to the Ojibway custom that is,
In the so-called lodge fashion," by
placing the sticks upright, leaning them
together, and crossing them over one
another In the manner Of lodge poles.
When the fire was lighted, the wind
shields formed a perfect draft to carry
the smoke up through the permanently
open iue In the apex of the structure,
and one soon realized that Of all tents
or dwellings, no healthier abode was
contrived by man. Indeed, II the
stupid, meddlesome agents Of civiliza-
ton had been wise enough to have left
the Indians In their tepees, instead Of
forcing them to live In houses-the
ventilation Of which was never under
stood-they would have been spared at
least M of civilizations diseases
tuberculosis-and many more tribes
men would have been alive today.
On entering an Indian tepee one
usually finds the first space on the
right of the doorway occupied by the
woodpile; the next by the wife; the
third, by the baby, and the fourth by
the husband. Opposite these, On the
other side Of the fire, the older chill
dren are ranged. To the visitor is
allotted the warmest place in the lodge,
the place of honor, farthest from and
directly opposite the doorway. When
the dogs are allowed in the tepee, they
know their place to be. the first space
on the left. between the entrance and
the children.-Arthur Heming In

BIG VALUE OF sELF-FEEDER
Experiments Show Pigs Make More
Gain Than When Hand-Fed BY
Man and Eat Less, Too.

Expenses may be made less by the
use ole the self-feeding plan in prefer
ence To the hand-feeding system in
the hog lot. An experiment was con-
Quoted at the Kansas State A~grfcultur-
al college to show the value OF the
self feeder In ~fattening T-pound pigs,
and at the same time to show the
amount Of tankage required to balance
q corn ration. This experiment was
carried on by Dr.. G. W. McCampbell,
Il. r. Ferrin, and III. B. Winchester, in
swine feeding investigations In 1918
and 1919. :
Twenty pigs of the same age, quail
ty, condition, and weight, were put
into two dry lots In groups Of ten.
The pigs in lot ] ate from a self feed
er, that was divided In two compart.
ments, one having sheIled corn and the
other tankage. The pigs In lot 2 were
given all they could eat twice a day
Of mixture OF ten parts shelled corn
and one part tankage. They were
watered twice a day In both lots and
the experiment was carried On for
one hundred days. Three days at the
beginning and end Of the test the pigs
wer weighed and all weights and ex-
penses were carefully recorded. II
The pigs 10 lot one ate more eorn
and less tankage than the handled
pigs In lot 2. That q 8 per cent tank
age could balance q orn ration In fat
tening 75-pound pigs was shown from
this experiment, because the Self-fe4
pigs consumed one part tankage and
20 parts corn. .
A 10O-pound gain in handled pigs
was produced by 6.8 bushels OF orr
and 30 pounds Of tankage, and the
same gain was produced I'm the self
fed lot by IS bushels Of corn and
1T.66 pounds Of tankage, that Ii TO

Salt Makers Of Ball.

sailed. (Bali is an island e Java,

leveled, sandy plot the salt makers
work In the sun, scattering sea water
from light bowls, skffIfuIly fashioned
from palm leaves. When the sun has
absorbed the moisture, the laborers
carefully skim off the surface sand,
carry it to the matched huts at the
edge of the plot and put 1t into watts
filled with water. After the sand has
settled In the bottom Of the watts, they
draw off the brine into shallow YES

out In the sun. In a few hours moth
ing remains but pure salt. The salt
gained through this primitive process
is deemed very precious by the Ball
nese, who will sell his treasures for
salt when money will not tempt him.
But then money is Of little value on

HAD TO TIE THE YOUNGSTERS
Were Not to Be Trusted When Grand
mother Dipped the candlss on
the Old Farm.

There was another event that took
place once a year In the big kitchen,
10 much more exciting than spinning
that instead of being allowed to sit at
liberty, with directions and cautions,
we. had to be tied to the table legs
with a clothes line or we would have
been covered with grease. 1t was a
mysterious proceeding, which began
with my grandmother spreading a
space On the floor with Albany Jour.
mails, and Ontario County Repositories
and Waterbury Americans. Then she
stirred the contents of 4 brass kettle
that hung on the crane, and took up
the Waterbury Americans. cherished
souvenirs Of her native town, and re-
placed them with ordinary Reposito-
ries. Next she brought four kitchen
chairs and set them on the four cor
ners of the rectangle Of newspapers
and connected them with two poles.
Then she stirred the brass kettle again
and looked at the clock. Then she
proceeded to bring In . large number
OF rods, each Of which was looped with
six twisted wicks, and laid the ends
OF the rods neatly on the poles. 1t
was then that we we're tied up with
a little free rope allowed for limited
range, before the brass kettle was
emptied into the copper boiler.
And now the fun began, when my
grandmother dipped the first two rods
OF wicks into the boiler Of melted tai
low, and we danced as much as the
table legs would permit. It was two
rods ut 4 time and then two more, y
and oyer again until the full-grown
