Keep the stove well cleaned at

or the special little device that
comes with many Of the stoves
for this very purpose. If the
wicks stick, few drops of oil
on the movable parts win make
them move more easily.
The iron plate which comes
with the stove may be used to
cover the burner for long time
cooking. In case Of an accidental
boiling over, the plate will keep
the spill from reaching the burner
and causing trouble as we'll as

Keep the stove clean at all

it well and rub the entire sur

Posture, any posture, ,habitually

Posture has to do primarily
with the muscles, or the locomotor

muscles and bones as well as tho
controlling nerves. Defects in the
locomotor system may and often

sentiaI for health that everyone
should treat his errors Of carriage

that he should forestall them by

There are many factors in these
faulty mechanics; malnutrition,
lack OF fresh air and, sometimes
hereditary instability Of the ner-
vous system.
All of these depress muscle

and minority reports would be sub
mitted.
The assembly will adjourn tomor-
row. Among the matters to be dis
posed of before adjournment is the
place of meeting for next years as
sembly: Invitations from Eidorado,
