Exercise
Surest Way
ToSlinnness
Good Posture Also
Plays Important
Role.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

REFORE We get down to our mat
on the floor and exercise, let's
consider once more the alI-important
relationship Of proper posture to fig-
ure perfection. II you missed yes
terday's article, get . copy Of the
paper, or send for my bulletin on
Posture Rules.
And now . word about the why
and wherefore that some authorities
have pooh-pooh'd the value Of setting
up exercises. You'll find that wher-
ever and whenever exercise has
been discounted, there's a conditional
clause. These men and women con-
tend that unless We hold ourselves
properly while exercising and through
out the day the full benefit Of the
exercises cannot be achieved. sThey
contend, further, that exercise done
for 20 minutes day, 10 each night
and 10 each morning, cannot undo the
harmful effects of poor posture. Of
slumping and so on. They tell us that
II women carried themselves properly
at all times, tall and handsome. per-
fectly poised. setting-up exercises
would not be necessary. that the
muscles would get enough exercise and
keep firm automatically.
We say: Mind your posture by all
means. And If it hasn't been perfect
heretofore 1t will take time for you to
train yourself to walk and stand and
sit correctly. While you're doing it.
If you will exercise muscles that have
become neglected. that have lost their
elasticity and snap and strength, you
will hasten results.
Down on the mat, then, the better
to pull up. Remember that fashion
calls for long lines-a long line from
chin to waist. q long and slender line
from bust to hips. q long, long line
from waist to ankles. That doesn't
mean that If you're short you must
60 into hiding. Strive for the longest
line possible for your particular build.
First, lie on back, palms down.
Raise one knee, then the other to
chest, then both. Return to original
position. Repeat 10 times.
Second, knees to chest. Kick legs
straight up and as you do 80 lift the
hips from mat. Feel the pull on the
abdomen and thighs. Now, come tn
sitting position with arms stretched
forward.
Third. the good old bicycle exercise.
These are Just q few. Do them just
few times each to begin with-until
you are accustomed to exercise.

"INJUN BREAD"
Beat / egg in the bottom of a bowl
and add l cup buttermilk, u cup
water, " teaspoon baking soda. l
teaspoon salt, l teaspoon sugar. Stir
in enough corn meal to thicken ard
add l tablespoon melted fat. Have
corn stick pan hot and well oiled. Fill

In hot oven.
T ATE green beans or limas should
lead us inevitably and frequently
to q dish the settlers called "sukquat-
tah-hash" or corn seethed with
beans" With fried chicken or roast
of pork, cabbage-stuffed tomatoes,
pickles and pie, another requiem is
sung.
Colonial ladies liked to cook hotch-
pot fashion, putting everything into
one kettle. Here Is modern hotch-
pot which will bring corn back to the
table long after we've finished with
bushels of new corn cobs:
INDIAN CORN.
Chop together l onion, / green pep
per and dill pickle and saute gently
in butter about 5 minutes. Add
pound Of ground beef and brown. Add
2 cups whole kernel corn, 2 cups
cream Of tomato soup. l teaspoon
sugar, teaspoon salt. Simmer about
30 minutes. Blend tablespoons -four
with 2 tablespoons water and stir in
well. Cook a few minutes longer and
serve.
Besides raising the curtain on "In-
dian wheat" and baked beans, this
season ushers in the congenial oys-
ter. In this up-to-date hotch-pot,
all the oysters ask is something tangy
and brash for accompaniment:
OYSTERS A LA MEXICANA.
Place l quart large oysters in bot

with mixture of e cup tomato catsup,
l teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, y
teaspoon salt, q teaspoon pepper.

until oysters curl at edges and cheese
melts. Serve very hot with thinly
sliced pickles.

in spite of that. Julius Caesar gave
it 80 days and then later Augustus
magnificently presented it with 81.

its name changed in their honor-and
indeed it did become, at f1eeting in

The Anglo-Saxons called October
'Winterfylleth"-which was used to
indicate the approach of Winter with
the full moon of the month.

In a Maine town from the heat Of

when they first appear in their new

in the closet.
The first open fire is always de-

The Old Gardener Saws:

Tulip bulbs cannot be de-
pended upon to come up year
after year. In fact, most Of the
present-day varieties are likely to
run out and produce no blooms
after a few years residence in the
average border. Yet q few va
rieties will survive for many
years. Gen. De Wet Is a par
ticularly vigorous sort. II other
varieties are to be left in the gar
den, the surface soil should be
renewed annually to a depth of
3 or 4 inches, either replacing
it with fresh compost or enrich
ing 1t with one of the mild fer
tilizers, such as bone meal, SCOT,
wood ashes or old manure. In
such paintings the bulbs should
be set deeper than is usually rec
commended. In fact, they may
go as deep as or 7 inches in
light soil.

Spanish Government
Flees From Madrid

WHILE the Fascist insurgents
w were smashing their way into
Madrid and hurting shells among
its chief buildings, the Socialist gov
eminent of Spain, headed by Prem
Ter Fancisco Largo Caballero, fled
from the capital and set itself up
in Valencia on the Mediterranean
coast. The capture of Madrid by
the rebels seemed certain and this,
it was believed, would be followed
by recognition of the Fascist gov
eminent by several powers, includ-
ing Portugal and Italy and perhaps
Germany. The first nation to ac-
cord this recognition was the Cen
trail American republic of Salvador.
1t is not to be assumed that
this would end the civil war, i'm
mediately or soon. Caballero, it was
reported, believed the loyalists
could best continue the struggle
from the south, and it was claimed
they had strong concentrations at
Valencia, Cartegena, Alicante and
Albacete. Moreover, there were in
dications that they would soon re-
ceive open aid from Russia and per-
haps France. Leon Blum, the
French premier, told a Socialist
meeting that he was ready to scrap
the non-intervention pact and help
Caballero if Great Britain would
join in such action. This caused
CONSERVATION mong the British
statesmen.
Fighting in the suburbs of Madrid
was continuous and bloody. The
casualties on both sides were heavy,
and the Fascist bombardment by
artillery and planes killed and
wounded hundreds in the center of
the city. The Socialist defenders had
been ordered to hold their posts
regardless of losses, and they
fought bravely and stubbornly.
