ORIGIN OF THE BARBECUE

dred years is proved by illusions
in history. There are even tales
of bargains with the Indians seal
ed with barbecue viands.
The barbecue is nothing more
than q huge open-air entertain
ment, either. social or political, at
which sheep or oxen are roasted
whole. Hundreds of people can
be fed at a single barbecue and
things are always conducted on
gigantic scale.
Originally, it seems, the meat
cooked in the barbecue was game,
such as deer and bear, but as
these animals became scarce
sheep, pigs and oxen took their
place. Today almost any type OF
food may be used In the barbe-
cue. Fish. beef, mutton, pork,
chicken, duck, vegetables, espe-
cially potatoes and corn on the
cob-all are used In the barbecue.
There is scarcely any form OF
entertainment that is so popular
in the South and Middle West as
this Of the barbecue.

HVHE baby should have it's own
piece of soap. A good soap
should be made from clean, fresh

be used. Unlimited soaps are on

tween 90 and SO F. The daily
short bath is fine for the baby,
provided there is no sign OF irri-
tation or scaling. Drying is i'm
portant and a mild nonmedicated
busting powder may be literally
used. After its bath, the best
place for baby is it's crib. Do
not give baby the powder can to
play with because inhalation of
powder is dangerous.
If the skin appears too dry, use
sweet oil or olive oil after the
bath. A little cocoa butter may
be substituted for these oils.

DAILY WALK
OF AN HOUR

DAILY WALK Of st Ieass an
~ hour ia addition to regular es-
ercises ii urged for adults by
Lydia Clark, director Of physical
education Tor women, Ohio State
University.
While walking. proper carriage
and alignment Of the body should
be maintained. and attention
should BE given to the following
points:
Remember that the foot is
flexible and that the body weight
should be carried from the heel
through the arch to the ball Of
the foot.
3. The weight should be carried
toward the outside Of the foot.
This win prevent duck waddlo''
walk.
8. The body should be made as
tall as possible without raising
the shoulders.
4. When the weight is properly
adjusted and feeling OF being
tan is maintained, the head, chest,
and abdomen will usually fail into
correct position, and the de
butante slump and the middle
age hump win SOON fade into
oblivion.

THE barbecue is as typical an
l. institution of the South and
Middle West as the clambake Is
of Rhode Island and beans Of
Boston. In fact, almost every
locality of our country can boast
it's own favorite food and method
OF serving that food.
But the barbecue originated IN
Georgia. From there it spread all
through the Southern States, and
even to the Southwestern and
Middle Western States. And it's
popularity increases as 1t spreads
to new territory.
This peculiar type Of entertain
ment has played it's part in every
form of activity. It is used in
political campaigns, in social life,
in business. Many a man has
gained his popularity as an en-
ployer and an officeholder by
the lavishness of his barbecue
entertainments.
Nobody knows just how the
barbecue originated. But that It
has existed for more than a hun

as seldom as possible, and the
