TTT HY is it necessary for the mod
Wv ern woman to use an artificial
method to strengthen her muscles
and to promote good health? 1t is
because our manner of living Of
fers almost no opportunity to use
the larger, important muscles Of
the body-the abdominal, back and
thigh muscles.
We live inactive lives. We travel
by motor or train more than we
walk. We do our housework with
electrical aids or have servants do
it for us. Most Office jobs demand
eight hours of sitting and frequently
in poor posture. Selling work in
stores requires the over use Of the
legs and feet. Sewing, writing,
bridge and many other so-called ac-
tivities are actually inactivities!
Games No Substitute.
You probably think that recrea-

ing, badminton. golf and riding are
sufficient exercise. But they are
not. They stimulate the body
through increased circulation and
allow the skin pores to secrete
waste but they do not build the body
symmetrically because they are
"one-sided." Seldom is a woman
adept in using both her right hand
and her left hand in sports.
Walking can be an excellent ac-
tivity if it is done on soil which al
lows spring to the step and if the
body is carried with good posture at
a steady pace and if you wear loose
clothing and correct walking shoes.
Swimming is the exception in rec
reational sports. 1t exercises all
the muscles of the body providing no
one stroke is overpracticed, and it
develops the body symmetrically
and beautifully.

Never give your children unknown

A mother may save a few pennies

Because, for three generations
Phillips has been favored by many
physicians as a standard, reliable
and proved preparation - marvel
ously gentle for youngsters.

the newer form - tiny peppermint

candy. Each tablet contains the
equivalent of one teaspoonful of the

MIDDLE or STREET PARKING

Members of the Present Day Club and members OF other
federated women's clubs in Durant are making an effort 20
get the city council to repeal the ordinance that permits park
ing in the middle Of the street.
We can only say that we are heartily in accord with the
efforts of these women. We gave our opinion OF this park
business the first week the
stripes were put down.
Our main objection. and one that we think sufficient, IS
the point Of safety. We have seen more than one accident
very narrowly avoided and we can only say that We wouldn't
be surprised any time to see someone seriously hurt.
OF course we would say that parking in the middle Of
the street is the mark Of a hick town but we won't. Some
people would probably be glad to See people parked all over
the middle Of the streets and the sides. too; congestng the
sidewalks as well as the streets. AS 9 matter OF fact we. are
definitely in that class. We'd like to see the streets. SIDE
walks and stores jammed every day in the week and Saturday
too. s.s ss4 t- M
But until that traffic jam DOES materialize, we firmly
believe that the sides of the streets Of Durant are sufficient
for parking without using the middle.
