Health Hints
By Bernarr Macfadden.

What is the effect of musular action
muscle brought into action by nor
NAL use or special exercise very
greatly increases the supply of blood
that is brought to that particular
muscle. 1t not only accelerates the
activity of the part used from this
standpoint, but it very materially
hastens the elimination of dead mat
ter or waste, which is continually
being carried to the various depurat-
ing organs of the body. Exercise
therefore. not only makes the part
stronger but cleanses it of all i'm
purities by increased circulation.
Now the exercise of the muscles
surrounding the spinal column in
creases the, strength of the muscles
themselves and also draws an addi-
tional blood supply to these parts.
The. spinal cord, therefore has the
advantage of the additional supply
of blood and of better supply of
blood. In addition to this the move
ment of the spinal column in various
ways tends to stimulate the nerves
located therein. Furthermore, it
tissues which hold the spinal column
so closely in it's place and should
there be any slight displacement of
any cartilages which form this spinal
column, the various movements back
and forth and in all directions slowly
but surely force the displaced carti-
lage into it's proper position. Osteo-
pathy attaches very great Importance
to the necessity of straight spine
and to a very large extent can be
commended.
/ do not wish it understood that
the mere occasional exercise of the
muscles which force the spinal col
umn to assume a more perfect form
is all that is needed. You have to
make use of every muscle of the body
more or less all the time IL you
want to develop them. The develop
ment of the muscles of the entire
body will to a certain extent increase
the amount of nervous energy that
will finally be absorbed. Therefore, if
you want to be in possession of a
human machine that is as nearly per-
feet as it can be made, first of all give
especial attention to the develop
ment and constant use of the mus
cles about the spinal column. See
that every muscle of the body re-
ceives certain amount of active
use when in action.

BEDTIME STORIES BY Y
Days of Hope and Fear.
Alternating hope and fear

Old Mother Nature

Never had Danny and Many
Meadow Mouse felt SO uneasy in all
their lives before. Never had they
felt so impatient. There were days
when that great man-bird didn't fly
at all. Right away despair would
fill the hearts of Danny and Nanny.
Perhaps it isn't going to fly again,
Nanny would whimper Perhaps it is
going to stay right here. We might
just as well be way back in the
Sunny South as to spend the rest of
our lives here"
Danny would try to comfort her,
but in his heart he was just as much
worried as she was; and though he
did his best to hide it he couldn't.

Danny and Nanny would worry. 1t
might be taking them back down to
the Sunny South. But after a while
they would notice a difference in the
air. 1t was growing cooler Then
a great hope would leap up in their
hearts and they wuold become more
and more excited.
I'VE are on our way back up North,
Nannyu' Danny would squeak. las
sure as you live, we are on our way
back up North"
Don't be too sure" Nanny would
say. Don't be too sure. Even IL we
do get back up North we may never
see again the dear Green Meadows
where we were born"
Then Danny would grow very sober.
THAT is true, my dear. That is very
true" he would say in his funny
squeaky voice. I'VE mustn't get our
hopes too high. But even IT we don't
get back to our dear Green Meadows
we may find a place quite like them.
Do you notice how much colder it is
getting?"
1t was getting cooler. The nights
were very cool. When they stopped
and the aeroplane came down to
earth they no longer saw great num-
berS of flowers in bloom. But they
did find new leaves putting out on
the trees and new plants peeping up
through the brown earth. 1t was no
longer summer weather as 1t mad

it was spring weather.

When We Go Shopping
By MRS. IIAFIAND H. ALLEN.

called by this name, was in use as
early as the fourteenth century, but
the term has been used to designate
many different fabrics. The taffeta of
today is, when of best quality, made
from the finest silks, and given a
luster by the process of watering, in
tended to produce the fine luster, fol-
lowed by the application of fire and
pressure, a special method. The taf-
feta may be cross-ribbed as well as
plain woven; but when it is cross
ribbed the cords are so fine that they
seem to be plain woven.
The very stiff taffetas you buy are
generally heavily weighted, which
causes them to crack and split after
a short time, especially along the
folds. The soft, pliable ones are
more lightly weighted, and conse-
quently are better wearing. A stiff
taffeta, because of this weighing, is
not a good choice for a plated gown,
and is not to be recommended where
durability is the prime consideration
sought.
In general you can use taffeta best
for gowns of bouffant or draped style,
for suits, for blouses, neckwear, un-
derskirts, Innings. 1t is one of the
most staple" articles we see on the
silk counter.

Wrap-Around Skirt Will Survive
BY MARY MARSHALL.

portions of 1t should be perfectly
adapted to you If you want it to ap-
pear smooth and scant and at the
same time stay put"
The tendency now is to have lit
tie surplus material at the joining.
This is a good idea.
Interestingly enough, some of the
new wrap-around skirts are supplied
with pleated silk insets, SO that when
the sides part this ruffie will show.
Undoubtedly many women who have
been wearing knickers sans petticoat
beneath sport or suit skirts have re-
turned to the silk petticoat since the
wrap-around has come into fashion.
The inset section takes the place of
a petticoat.
Some of the new wrap-arounds
fasten at the right side instead of
the left. One would think they must
have been designed for left-handed d
people-at any rate they are rather
less convenient for right-handed peo-
pie than the older kind with the
joining at the left. The sketch shows
a wrap-around skirt with a narrow
belt that fastens in the back. This
Is a new idea. 1t Is not unlike the
skirt seen recently with a buckle
and tab at the back in quite open
imitation of the buckle and tab to
be found on the back of a mans eve
ming waistcoat or trousers.

NV Neighbor Saws:

Tumblers that have been used
for milk should always be
washed in cold water before
they are washed In hot. When
this is done, the milk does not
stick to the glass, and they
will not have a cloudy appear
ance.
:. Always wrap table or bed
linen which Is to be stored
away in dark blue paper to
keep 1T from turning yellow.
After cleaning brass rub with
cloth dipped in petroleum
ointment and polish with a dry
cloth.
When finely chopped nuts are
needed for cake, salads or sand
wiches, run the nuts through
the mincing machine.
Try adding few drops of
lemon juice to rice the next
time you are cooking it. 1t
makes it beautifully white and
keeps the grains whole.
When baking cookies, after
they are rolled out and in the
pan ready for the oven sprin-
kle some of them with coarse
sugar, stick raisins in the mid
die of others, citron in others
and sprinkle the remainder
with fine cocoanut. This makes
quite variety and is little or
no trouble.

Some were flying very swiftly as if in
great hurry. Others were taking
Ii more easily. But mono were travel
ing as fast as the great man-bird.
Danny and Nanny were glad of that.
So each day hope grew. Then came
a time when the great man-bird did
not take to the air for more than a
week. To Danny and Nanny those
were the longest days. My, my. my.
how long they were! Each morning
they waited hopefully for the man
bird to start. Each night their hearts
were filled with despair. Had it not
been that every day the aviator came
to see them and make sure they had
plenty to eat they would have been
wholly in despair. But as long as he
kept coming they had the hope that
on the next visit he would take the
great man-bird up in the air again.
And at last he did! Once more they
were filled with excited hope.

The annual stock holders meeting
Of the Farmers Cooperative Cream
cry company held at the high school
building Saturday, Feb. 9Th, brought
together more than five hundred
stockholders in the institution. II
was easily the biggest meeting OF its
kind ever held in Payette county. The
creamery's patrons now number 1900
all stockholders in the concern. The
importance of this institution to the
community may be estimated only in
part by the nearly one-half million
dollars paid to the dairymen for
cream. The value of what might be
called the by-products of the dairy,
would bring the total intrinsic value
of the business to the community up
TO considerable more than the half
million mark. Besides the direct In
come from the dairy. the feed con-
sumed by the dairy cattle has SO re-
duced the surplus that prices have
been stimulated for feed generally,
and the fertility of the farm kept to
a high standard by the fertilizer from
the dairy herds, another valuable
consideration that cannot be estimat-
ed in dollars, is the cooperative spirit
that has been developed. not only by
the dairymen themselves, but between
the farmer and the towns-people.
The writer well remembers when
the creamery company was in the
formative stage, the business men OF
Payette were generally indifferent
and in some cases actually hostile to-
ward it, the change is marked, people
like to be associated with success,
and the Payette business men are
now heartily supporting "Our Cream
cry" as could be desired Long live
the creamery, and long live Payette,
with all its mistakes, it is the best

MEAL BRINGS
GOOD RETURNS

shipped from Payette last Friday
2500 lambs fattened at the yards of
the Idaho Alfalfa Milling Co., and
left $500 more lambs to be finished
up on alfalfa meal. Mr.. Van Duesen
is loud in his praise of the results
obtained in feeding alfalfa ground
into meal. Several weeks prior to
the time the band went into the Pay
cite yards, band of about the same
size and in much better condition
was started to fatten in Gem county,
on silage, grain and hay, those in the
Payette yards surpassed the others
in gain so far, there was really no
comparison.
Guss Davis brought 100 head Of
cattle to the Payette yards Monday
to put in shape for the market.
1t seems the yards of the Idaho
Alfalfa Milling Co. might become the
feeding center and also a marketing
center for the hay grown within
reach of Payette and become one of
Payette's big assets.
