QnestIons and Answers.

Mr.. Deemlng:
have a boy and girl, two and
four years of age, respectively.
would like to start them out on
series of exercises, but I am at a
loss what to do. Could you advise
me upon exercises that they may
have, or do you think they are too
young.

MOTHER.
Mother:

Children are never too young to
have exercise, though / would eau
tion you to he careful and not give
them too much exercise and not too
strenuous a kind. You may let them
hang with their hands onto a rod
that is hung over the bed so that
their feet will come within az few
inches of the bed so if they fall they
will not be hurt You may also let
them try to reach some article that
is few inches out of their reach
This exercise will stretch the muscles
of the whole body as they will nat.
urally rise on to their toes in trying
TO reach the article.
The main thing is to be on the
lookout for faulty posture and to
the children some time each day that
they can play without any clothing
so that the fresh air may reach their
small bodies Keep them out of a
draught. AS the warm weather
comes give them sun baths though
be careful not to let them stay in
the, sun too long. Two minutes n
day will be enough for the first two
or three weeks, then a gradual in
crease as their bodies get hardened
to the rays.
Give them a rub two or three times
week using little pure olive oil
on the hands.
Let me know how they get along
and if we can give you any help at
any time, let us know.

ANXIOUS.
Answer:

Maybe the trouble is mental and
not physical. The doctor should know
if there was anything wrong. Try
to get your wife to change her daily
routine. Get her to play at least
some time everyday out in the fresh
air. Teach he to play golf or tennis
or if the worst comes to the worst,
play catch with her in the back yard.
Go on short hikes. Get her to go to
gym class at the Y. w. c. A.
She must change her mental atti-
tude. She must think of health and
strength and not Of sickness. It's up
to you to put the above suggestions
across.

are going in for sprinting is to mas
! ter the start. Practice the start six
or seven times a day. One of the
most important things in a sprint
is to get off the mark as the N
goes off.
All things being equal, the sprin-
ter that is the quickest IN get,.n2
off the mark wins the race. A delay
of one fifth of second in getting
started may mean the losing Of the
race Starting is the first thing
you should learn.
The second thing to learn is get
ting into the stride. Many runners
make the mistake of taking too long
or too short a stride at the first
spring. Make it practice to take
these first few strides naturally and
easily.
The third thing to learn is the
final burst over the last quarter of
the course.
DO not run through the full course
during the first three weeks Of train
ing at anything like your best speed
but take one or two joys a day
through the full distance at spec |
that will not tire.
Can you give me some exercises
that will help strengthen weak
arches ?-Flapit.
Flapit: You may try the following
exercises.
1. Stand with your toes together
and heels apart. Opposite to posi-
tion of attention which Is heels to-
gether and toes apart).. Rise on
toes as high as you can and lofer
to first position.
2. Stand on the outside of your
feet Roll on to the toes then back
on to heels.
8. Walk on toes with legs per-
fectly stiff. The above exercises will
help you if you follow them with
regularity and if the feet hurt you
it would be best to wear supports
while you get them strengthened.

TWO COLORADO BOYS
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Out in the mountains of Colorado, two young men,
crept to the cabin Of rich old hermit and finding
him at home took him out and hanged him to a
tree helping themselves to the pary sum of SIS all
the money they could find in his hut
For twenty seven days the old man hung deem in
the silence Of the pine woods, his dead body swayng
IN the night winds, beaten with the cold mountain
showers
But the boys found out-crinnals always
are, sooner or later-and finally confessed all the
circumstances Of the grewsome deed.
For this ptiful sum, these two young men have
foresworn the world and all of it's joys With the
same hands which strung up the aged recuse they
have tied the knot about their threats And the
deed which they have done together they shall paw for
each for himself.
1t does look if with such examples before them
the ordinarily intelligent youth would finally learn that
wickedness never pays. For short time the bad ma
may flourish, but inevitably he pays the full penalty
OF his deeds Inexorable fate always his foot
steps, and the end is ever the same-shame and dis
grace.
Never before, it seems; have SO many young men
committed murder And the quickly that Justice
metes death to such cold FLOODED criminals the better
off both good and bad of will be.
For the youth who is so heartess that for a few
dollars he will take the life of helpless person is not
fit to mngle with his fellows him life is too fine
to be lived. The earth should not shelter him
Pity them as we may, the time has come when we
must exact life<o life, else shall not find the
country safe place wherein to reside.
And what eloquent examples are these tragic dere.
lets to ourasons. Impress this upon their pas
tic young minds. Let not the cynical dominate their
kntslHSence. It pays to be good.

THE PULLMAN COMPANY

For cool nerve, the Pullman Company wins.
1t has for years allowed passengers, by tipping,
to swell to living rate the meager wages Of its
porters.
1t proposes now, in effect, that the passengers
should pay also the company's income tax
That is the import of its declaration to the inter-
state commerce commission that income tax pay
ments should in computation of the companys profits
be considered operating expenses. In other words
the company which since 1867 has had practically an
alright monopoly of the sleeping car business in this
country feels that should only be guaranteed
fair rate of return its investment but that it's in.
come, unlike the incomes Of ordinary corporations
should be free from tax.
And what does the company give the public in
return? Except few fancy trains the same lurid
red wood and garish carpet it has offered for
years. The same sights and smells. In comfort the
Pullman berth and the barber chair have been i'm
proved about equally
But Interstate Commerce Commits sioner Camp
bell has summed up the case
Speaking for lower Pullman rates the commits
sioner said in January 1925: For the lower half Of
a space about by four feet, with place to
wash, the Pullman passenger pays today $S.25 for
less than twentyfour hours use between Washington
and Chicago. When we compare that with what can
be secured in a modern hotel for an equal sum- it
seems to me that the argument that the Pull man
passenger enjoys luxury is about exhausted"

Relation to Crime

We are going to have a hard job
stopping crime in this country SO
long as we put tainted men in Of
flee, or permit men to slip in by
means Of tainted money.
Elections are the basis of repub-
lican government, ana republican
government cannot remain sound II
they get rotten.
The first and most important thing
to keep clean in these United States
is the ballot, and the first and most
important man to punish is the man
who prostitutes it.
You can't nullify the Constitution
by criticising it, or any law that
supplements it, because the Consti-
tuition guarantees you that right;
but when you buy or sell a vote, or
boom a man who does, you throw a
monkey wrench into the machinery
through which the Constitution op.
crates.

The Big Issue

Clean politics is always more i'm
portant than any issue before the
country. There is no use to vote on
Issues. unless the country has clean
men to carry out the public will.
The elevation of issues above char
acter, the support of men because of
what they pretend to believe with re-
gard to this or that question and
without regard to what they are, is
doing more for the political crook
than anything else.
A square man who disagrees with
you is safer to bet on every time
than a trickster who pretends to
agree.
In the first place you can't tell
whether the latter is lying. and the
second, he may cheat the eye teeth
out of you in some other manner
while you nurse your pet prejudice
I am for modification of the Vol
stead act. but 7 will not vote fer a
wet who debauches politics.

Way TO Save Time

Smith can stay in the race, but
that is not staying In the Senate,
even II he does get a majority of
Illinois votes, and that goes for
Ware, too.
We can leave conscience out of

that both will lose their seats.
The Democrats can be depended
to vote for ousting them to n man
and so can the independent Repub-
licans. like Brookhart, Frazer and

careers almost certain, It were bet.

Medical science has outgrown the

Mrs. Wheeler, who sought annull-

committed perjury when he answered

riage license application; Is the
male contracting party Of nearer
blood kin to the female contracting
party than second cousin?"
The State charged Holt and his
wife are "germaine" cousins, nearer
relationship than second cousins.
Defects Not Handed Down
Modern eugenics no longer holds
that the handing down of physical
defects Is a direct result Of marriage
Of cousins, according to DIR. Moon.
''Such mating of cousins is
regularly practiced in the animal
kingdom to produce fine breeds Of
live stock. This has been recognized
for long time" he declared.
Marriage of kin at least as close
as first cousins is safe, he said. DIR.
Moon said he did not know how long
the theory had been accepted.

IT'S THE LEAGUES MOVE

The betting is about 100 to 1 that the League
of Nations never tries to butt any North, Cen
raj South or nsular American international con-
troversy without the United States approval, which
it is precious unlikely will be forthcoming.
Nevertheless it quite inspiration on the
part of General Chamorro de facto president of
Nicaragua, to complain to- the league that Mexico
they say he limited at this country, TOBIAS been
helping Nicaraguan revolutionists' attempts to
throw the government.
Chamorro, a smooth diplomat well known in
Washington, doubtless well aware the
next that the league would think a long time
before defying the Monroe doctrine. However, he
placed it in a position where it had to go through
some motions.
Technically, from the leagues standpoint he has
a strong case-assuming, of course, that he
prove it. The league can hardly save its face with
giving due attention to his appeal and yet what
can it do about it? 1t would have resort to force
II worst came to worst.
Imagine the League Of Nations landing troops
in Mexico! Imagine any old world league, crazy
enough to think of such thing, in the face of the
thrice blessed Monroe doctrine! Nobody under
stands very clearly what it is but that is just the
trouble-its elastic
The league simply will sidestep. 1t can't do
otherwise, no matter what Chamorro proves

the Monroe doctrine is not very popular with Latin
America But as between Latin America and Europe,
it is exceedingly popular with Latin Americans

Brennan May Lose Some
Republican Votes by
His Referendum.
By NJ. e. Tracy

George E. Brennan. Democratic
nominee for Senator in Illinois, has
filed his petition for a referendum on
the Volstead act. 1t covers 1900
pages and contains 437, 900 names
or nearly twice as many as the law
requires.
Illinois is one of the few States in
which the legality of such referen.
dums has already been decided.
In 1922 when an effort was made
to prevent a referendum on light
wine and beer after it had been re-
quested by petition, Attorney Gen.
eral Brundage held that the Secre.
tary of State had no choice but to
submit the question, and Illinois
voted for light wine and beer by
more than two 20 one.
Some Democratic politicians think
Brennan has made mistake in fore
ing a referendum at this time. 1t is
their opinion that more wet Repub-
licans would vote for him II they
had no other way to express them
selves on the liquor issue.
