of physical culture.
For several generations now the
farmers have had the advantages of
these schools.
Having had the opportunity to
study art. literature. history and
music and having had their muscles
developed by rhythmic exercise, they
have succeeded in eliminating awk-
wardness from both mind and body.
When they mingle with the people
of the cities they do not have that

They are very prosperous class
because of their cooperative system
of marketing and during the summer
twelve United States senator's visited
Denmark in search of n solution of
the American farmers problem.
Bukh's pupils abhor the use of
rouge or any other cosmetics. and,
indeed with their glowing compilations,
they do not need thin.
They have well knit, vigorous
bodies and do not admire the "slinky"
figure. the ideal of American girls.
They do not bob their hair. but
wear it in a simple Grecian style.
To tame n husband, an unruly
child. or rccalcitrant nation, feed
EN- milk.
This advice was handed out at the
Worlds Dairy Congress at which ~
nations were represented.
To turn snapnish, spindle shanked
spouse into soft-spoken, sleek one,
feed him milk early and often.
If he won't drink it naturally, dis
guise it in soups and buildings.
Milk will make him fat and the
fat man is good natured, because his
nerves are we'll padded.

The University of Pennsylvania
has recently acquired a collection of
bronze statues with figures in relief,
from the old savage city of Benin
not far from the delta of the Niger
river, in Africa. Just what the
plaques were used for is not known,
and investigators are puzzled to
know how people who knew so
little of civilization as the inhabi-
tants of Benin should have discov-
cred this process of metal working.
Also the quality of the bronze is
so high as further to puzzle investi-
gators; and that no copper is avail
able within thousands of miles of
Benin complexities the situation
more. Still another remarkable
thing: many of the bronzes repre-
sent Europeans armed with match
locks and swords and wearing armor
of a Fifteenth century type, so this
Woodworking process must have
been known in Benin before ex-
plorers visited it. The kingdom of
Benin was discovered in the year
1885. A Portuguese writer mentions
it a few years later.

trotted on to the tracks. Far down
the line there came tho warning
screech of the express. The canine
tramp didn't pay any attention to it.

Every boy should engage in COM

might have good health, good morals
and a strong mind and still not fit in

make him more adaptable and more
inclined to adopt the ideas of team
work are serving the whole group as
we'll as the individual. Sports set an
objective for the adolscent character.

are the open door. Sports will devel-

Considered from recreational
standpoint as distinguished from the
physical side, competitive sport is
valuable in that it offers to boys in

amuses them and at the same time it
improves their bodies.-By Fielding

Touch Beef Good for Teeth

The muscles of the average jaw

work performed in chewing food, pos
sess power enough to lift from the
ground man as large as Jack Demp-
sey.
This magazine statement, made by
DR.. Arthur d. Black, dean of the
Northwestern University Dental
School, in the Popular Science
Monthly, is based on tests of the jaw
power of thousands of persons. The
jaw strength of those examined, he
writes, varied between IS pounds and
go pounds. the last figure being the
maximum strength which the appara-
tus used in the test could record.
Possibly, he states. the jaw strength
Of many persons is more than 800
pounds and the average seems well
above III pounds, which is about the
maximum weight which the average
man can lift from the ground with
one hand.
The toughest beef will yield to a
grinding force of from 20 to 90
pounds, says Doctor Black. Mutton
may be chewed with a force of be-
tween 80 and 80 pounds. Roast veal
requires from 35 to IS pounds. roast
pork from 80 to 35 pounds, corned
beef the same and broiled ham from
40 to 60 pounds. Cold boiled tongue
requires only between three to five
pounds of Jaw pressure.
Doctor Black advises everyone to
use the teeth freely on hard foods as
a way of strengthening them. adding
that teeth in good condition will not
be harmed by cracking nuts, or by
closing on small stones, bones. bird

which may accidentally get into food.
