HR ANY excellent suggestions
NV are made from time to
Avn time, through various
channels, regarding ways and
means to beautify the arms.
The majority Of arm exercises
one hears Of, however, are de-
signed to beautify the upper
rather than the forearm, whereas
forearms are even more conspic-
uous than the upper arms in all
gestures. Also, the forearm is
especially conspicuous IN modern
styles of dressing.
Cocoanut butter rubbed well
into the forearms each night will
do much to overcome this condi-
ton. Or you may prefer to use
olive oil with a drop or two Of
benzoin added to counterfeit any
yellowing tendency of the oil.
Are your elbows rough and an
gular? Then include them in
your massage. But be careful not
to massage your wrists with oil
unless they are much too thin, for
slender wrists are graceful and
beautiful.
A nourishing, pure cold cream
may be substituted for cocoa but
ter or olive oil as a massage
lotion for the forearms. OF
course, there are any number If
pure creams to be purchased. But
see to it that your selection is of
a standard, reliable make and that

SECRETS OF HEALTH
AND SUCCESS


Sleep does not come to one who
insists upon mentally chasing his
troubles around and around as a
dog sometimes chases his tall
and with about as satisfactory
results.
The habit of sleeping for only
short periods and then waking up
with the same thought on your
mind comes from involuntarily
charging your subconsciousness
with a troublesome problem just
before you drop to sleep from
sheer fatigue.
The trouble and troublesomely
dreamful sleep is liable to be
traceable to some errors of diet
or OF digestion, or to some failure
to eliminate the accommodating
poison from the system, or to the
absorption Of poisons from torpid
intestines.
The tendency to awaken with
start, often jumping upright in
bed, the mind instantly recurring
to some one thought, is generally
due to fear, whether recognized
as such or not.
There are several things neces-
sary to sleep.
The first is correct personal
hygiene, involving freely open
bowels, clean and active skin
and a light evening meal.
The second consists of correct
surroundings, including plenty of

HOW THE Elk LIVE IN WINTER

, For as we drew nearer to The
bowling I saw a sight i shall
never forget.
There, in the middle of a pack
of bowling wolves was a rnagnifi-
cent elk. He was cornered. He
did not have chance for escape.
He could not even charge his
enemies, for one move and they
would have fallen on him in a
body. AS it were, they were toy
ing with him and teasing him
much in the same manner a cat
gloats over a mouse before he
eats it.
"Shoot, Foxy Grandpa" cried
Bobby.
I lifted my rifle to my shout
der and aimed above the pack.
I did not want to. kill one, but
I accomplished what set out to
do. Off they fled, scared to
death.
The great elk stood there trem-
bling for a moment. Then he
started away through the woods.
Lets follow him." said I, ''and
I'll show you their winter quar-
ters.''
Soon we came to a followed
out place in the snow-a regular
cellar. And in it were may elk.
Our elk jumped down the en-
bankment and was greeted by his
family and friends affectlonately..
That's the way they live IN
winter" I explained. "They build
this sunken fort in the snow. 1t
is called an elk yard. There they
are safe from their enemies, the
wolves"

The fool went clad in motley,
with his foolish cap awry, and
all men looked their scorH at HIM
as he went dancing by. "Ho,
no." cried they, we're sober men
who have mems work to do: we
can not stoop to waste our time
on such one as you. We hob
mob with the rich and great, we
help Earth's wheels revolve; the
problems Of the Church and Stats
are ours to weigh and solve.
Why come you, then, among us

mighty men and I, a broken reed;
you are the sages of the land, 1
am a fool, indeed. You look
ahead through unborn: years, you
rule by wit and vile, while all
my energies are spent to make
you sages smile. Yours is the
glory and the gain, the pride of

that, soon forgot, beguiles n

Schuyler hesitated. Pats inter-
vention had beaten him; he could
not get hold of the Clermont now.
His mind worked swiftly. Fulton
and Vanderbilt were going to be
big men in spite Of him; better to
try to snatch any remnants of
their regard and respect that he
had not already lost!
