F you would get control Of the
machine you call yourself you
must get 3 few notions ont Of
your head. The first Of these mo-
tons, II like many people, you
ever had It or stil retain it, is
that you are composed Of two
separate and distinct parts, one
called mind and the other called
body.
Alexander, by his own studies Of
himself. came to know that the
mind is . function, the SUI
preme function Of the body. This
as as much as to say that mani.
festation Of power is the supreme
function Of the motor engine.
Therefore, argued Alexander, IL
one part seems to be defective
the defect is probably one Of the
whole mechanism and not OF the
part alone. As an illustration,
flatfoot is not defect OF the
foot alone, TO be remedied by
treatment to the foot. 1t is the
result of 3 defect in the use OF
the mechanism which controls
the carriage Of the whole body
and to rectify this faulty use OF
the whole body may cure the
falt foot.
Now, disease and faulty func-
ton are inseparable. In most
diseases the fault in Sthe func.
ton comes first. Much disease.

consciously preventing faults in

Of an infinite number Of minute
particles, molecules.
That wasn't all. Molecules were.
divided into even smaller moving
particles, atoms. Some molecules
had two atoms In them, some had
many atoms. The character Of
thesT1ass depended upon the num-
Der and ratio OF the atoms to-eaca

From Gasoline Heater

War Eidsness was found dead
Friday afternoon in his room
above his billiard hall, death be-
ing due to asphyxiation from the
fumes of a gas heater, according
to men who worked for him. He
had gone to bed about ten o'clock
Thursday morning, taking with
him a gasoline heater. He had
asked his men to look about the
heater which they did about mid
night, turning it out. That he had
lighted the heater again was sur
missed from the fact that when
the body was found, the heater
was still going, blackened match
es used to light it, lying ON the
floor.
Relatives at Granville, North Da-
kota were notified and will take
charge of the body. Mr.. Eidsness.

Rural Schools
Perfect attendance at Liberty
school for the second month was 0.
There were 10 days of absence for
Is pupils and 80 cases of tardi-
ness Bad weather and a long dis
lance to school caused some of
this but l believe this record can
be improved. The following were
not absent but were tardy: Mary
Ellen Securely, Willis Franz, James
Securely, Grace Mae Hanson and
Melvin Hovind.
We hope the time will come
when more of our rural schools
will have barns. At one school as
many as ten horses are tied out
side all day long.
About Health
Health behavior in it's full mean
ing was the first purpose of school
education.
The teacher has specific respon-
sibilities in a program of health
education. However, little can be
accomplished without a full under
standing and a hearty cooperation
by parents and by citizens as in
dividuals. In these days of con-
tagious diseases, children should
not be sent to school if there is
any question at all about their
health. If you are in doubt, see
a doctor. One child with a disease
exposes perhaps a hundred ohter
children during a school day of
six hours.
Children should be v%accinated if
we are to stop the epidemic of
small pox. Some cities make it
compulsory. In some of our grade
rooms. 80 per cent of the children
have been vaccinated. There are
a number of cases Of skin disease.
See a doctor about this.

IDEAS

Starch clothes wrong side out.
Leave them wrong side out until
they are sprinkled. For white
clothes use starch as hot as you
a stand it. Hot starch goes
through the fabric better and more
evenly, and does not leave shiny
spots when ironed. Keep most of
the starch hot. Use only part of
it at a time. Replace it when it
gets cold and thin. The ideal way
is to have two pans of starch,
beside the reserve supply. Dilute
one with enough water to make
a good paste for the thinner ma
terials, and keep the other thick
enough for heavier clothes. Be-
gin by starching the clothes you
want stiffest. Clothes wrung very
dry before starching will be sitter
than wetter ones. White starch
shows plainly when used on dark
colored clothes. 1t may be tinted
tea or coffee for browns, and
with bluing for blues, or especial
ly tinted products may be pur-
