cher tells in the Physical Culture Magazine how she made a winning fight When a child her shoulders were rounded, her posture very un- gainly and her health correspondingly poor, but she worked herself into be. ing one of the most perfectly shaped women of the world-all through ex. ercises-and she has been a kind phil. anthropist with her exercises which any man, woman or child can easily follow if they try. Miss Droscher is but one of the many who through tireless efforts and natural methods have conquered the physical disabili- ties which were once though invin- cible.
 John Burroughs, the naturalist, has lived out-of-doors since childhood. He says no matter how much work man or woman has, he or she can find time to get into the great outdoors which is so beneficial to the health and indi- rectly to our work. A man who does office work or any other work which keeps him indoors can at least have sleeping porch and make the most of Natures priceless gift, fresh air. Pure nocturnal air is one of the greatest assets in health building. When pee' pole acquire the habit of sleeping out doors, it soon follows that the out doors appeals to them more and more and they plan to have their meals in the open air and to be outdoors as much as possible during their waking hours.
 People are not beginning to sleep and eat in the open, but are doing thing which once would have been thought dangerous experiment. They are curing the sick out-of-doors. The old fashioned idea of wrapping per son up from head to foot and keeping him guarded from every breath of cool, fresh air, when he is sick is be- ing discarded. Some of course, still do it to a certain extent, but they will soon be modernized and give the sick a chance to be cured by the air.
 Country children used to be health fer than those who lived in the city, but since the introduction of parks in cities, the children of the city have improved greatly, for the reason that they spend more of their time out-of doors.
 Everyone knows that a person of itinerant habits is usually very heal thy. Also, any one who does much garden work, or spend great deal of his time in outdoor spirits is always we'll.
 Tennis, golf cricket, swimming, baseball and open air dancing are great health builders and are becom- ing more universally popular.
 If the people of today will devote al least a part of their spare time to out door athletics they will build up a strength equal to that of the old-time Caveman.

IMPORTING OUR THINKERS

Europeans still labor under the impression that the people of the United States are unable to think for themselves on international issues. Since the league issue failed with the defeat of President Wilson, we have been visited almost continuously by some propagandist of the Allied na- tions, who have pointed out how happy this country should be to be allowed to join the warning factions of Europe provided, of course, we pay our share Of the freight.
 The United States was not only the first country to stabilize itself follow ing the war, but it also helped sta bilize most of the European coun- tries, by pouring supplies and money into the devastated districts Had the nations helped used these re- sources to develop their countries and take care of their inha bMants, all would have been we'll, but this help was used to build up war chest for the purpose of grabbing smaller na- tions during the chaos existing, and as consequence, their peoples are in worse condition than ever, and their eyes turn longingly to the i'm mense sums in the treasury of the United States.
 Meanwhile the nations that seem- ingly cannot meet their own situations are finding tis,e to tell us how to conduct our affairs. European propa- gandists are given a reception here that almost turn their heads, but we get no reports of Americans being cheered in England. France or else where for enlightening those coun- tdies on their inherent weaknesses. We may be filled with conceit, but re- gardless of that we have not reached a point where we want to hire inter- national thinkers from abroad

Says French Wrong
Mr.. Babson again reiterated his
statement that the trouble with Eu
rope was primarily spiritual rather
than financial. He still contends
that the French tactics in the Ruhr
districts are Fundamentally wrong
and will complicate the problem
rather than simplify it. Discussing
the actual payment of the repara-
lions, Mr.. Babson continue: "Sev-
eral ways Of collecting the $50, 000,-
100000 that Germany owes as repa-
rations, have been suggested.
"The French plan is being tried
out at present. 1t promises little in
B the way of tangible returns. Re
Tgardless of how much the French are
able to collect at the point of the

dds they are employing, if contin-
ned, are bound to increase hard feel

They are sowing the seeds for an

ee Reason versus Force
The English view approaches the
problem from another angle, but Mr..
Balfour's suggestion that we cancel
one another s debts, and thus reduce
the German separations, is 20 my
mind absolutely unfair. All nations
Hiinvolved, except the United States,
are borrowers as well AS lenders.
The person who is borrowing as
much as he is lending can enter into
the agreement that all should cancel
his debts. He forgivcs a million dol
lars and likewise has million dol
lars forgiven him. The United
States, however, is at the end of
Isthe line. These nations owe us
$10,000,000,000 and we owe them
practically nothing. The mutual
cancellation of debts is not u solu-
ton to the problem. | believe
that an effort toward reason, rath-
or than force, however, is step
in the right direction.
Gone of the most feasible solu-

posed by c. w. Barron, owner of

and Philadelphia News Bureau.

pointed for Germany and that the

about $260,O00,000 in gold. This
means that some method must

she' cannot pay in gold she must
