treating stains of unknown origin

A. Sponge with cold water, pro-

water. Hot water should never be
used In treating unknown stains I'M
til after other substances have been
tried, since it will set many stains
and make their removal more Diff

by cold or warm water, chemicals
should be applied. A 24-page book

Washington. The housewife
who is trying to appraise the
possible effect of world events to-
day on the price of foods she must
buy to keep her family well fed
should remember this very import
ant fact: In 1914, when the world
War broke out in Europe, the world
food supplies then available were
just about enough to feed people
under normal conditions.
But today, at the beginning Of
the war in Europe, the world food
supplies are all in surplus. When
this war broke out, there was a
tendency for consumers to think
in terms of 1917, when the Unit
ed States entered the war, rather
than in terms of 1914. But we are
not at war.

SUGAR SOURCE
INCREASED

Another favorable difference In
the present world supplies as COM
pared with 1914 is that South Africa.
Australia, the Fiji islands, Java and
British Guiana are now producing
sugar. Furthermore our own sugar
supplies from Puerto Rico, Hawaii
and Cuba, and the mainland, now on
hand, exceed by $4,000 tons last
years supply, which was considered
excessive.
With such surpluses, we cannot
face a scarcity. AS to prices, the
power of the President to lift sugar
quota restrictions will have much to
do with keeping them within reason
able bounds.
Another important factor in the
food picture today as compared to
the 1914 set-up is the great change
in national diet. Since 1914, the
improvement in machinery, both
industrial and domestic, has cut
down the amount of muscle work
required by individuals.
AS a result, we do not need as
much sugar and starch, (sweeten-
ing in foods, candies and cereals,
potatoes. etc. as we did then. Add
this lessened need for these products
to our increased supplies Of them
and you have another reason to feel
treasured about the food situation.

No woman is younger than her
posture, regardless of how smooth
and unlined her face and throat
are. One who walks and stands
with shoulders slumped forward,
chest caved In and stomach protrud-
ing is sure to look years older than
she actually is.
Unless she goes in for an active
sport regularly week in and week
out during the entire year. anyone
past thirty should do daily exer-
cises which strengthen abdominal
muscles. Corsets are important, OF
course, but it's a mistake ever to
depend on corset to keep your
stomach and diaphragm flat. Your
own muscles are supposed to do
this job. To keep them strong,
repeat the exercise 10 times a day:
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-09-28
DO THIS ONE
VERY SLOWLY

Lie flat on your back on the floor
with arms at sides and ankles to-
gether. Now, without moving hands,
lift feet slowly upward until they
are perpendicular to your body. The
more slowly you do this. the better.
Lower them just as slowly, keeping
ankles together and knees straight
as possible.
Both the raising and the lower
ing of the legs in this exercise
put q great deal Of strain on stom-
ach muscles. Do not repeat the
routine more than ten times a day
for at least two months. After that,
If you like, increase the number OF
times per day.
The waistline should be kept sup
pie as well as slender. The fact
that you are pretty slim and have a
tiny waistline doesn't mean that 1t
would be waste of time for you to
do bending and stretching routines.
Unless the waistline is supple.
posture Is bound to leave something
to be desired.
And learn to carry your chest up.
Shoulders should be square but not
held back stiffly. Hold stomach in
and backbone in as straight line as
possible. Keeping the pelvic bones
back and down will make hips Slim
mer, stomach flatter.

told us he was not chief, but a
Sioux medicine man, whose per-
sonal bravery was even questioned
by some Of his own men, and that
he never took part in the battles

and comprehensive and told with

Indian dead: that He would remove
the white men and that all the
Indians. dead and living. would be
reunited upon regenerated earth.
All that was required TO bring
about this happy state was TO
dance the Ghost Dance regularly
until He came. The dancers wore
ghost shirts and danced until ex-
hausted, when they saw visions
and communed with dead relations.
Major Mclaughlin. then agent at
Fort Yates, concluded that the
Ghost Dance would deevlop into a
hostile action against the whites.
and ordered the arrest of Sitting
Bull. In reality Mclaughlin knew
better than that. but II was his
chance to get Sitting Bull out Of
the way.
Send Indian Police
A company Of soldiers was sta
toned at Fort Yates. but McLaugh-
lin feared arrest by the military
would lead TO hloodshed. His idea
was that the Indian police could
bring in the chief without the risk
OF a bloody conflict. At least that
was the excuse he gave. In reality
he knew Sitting Bull would never
submit to arrest by his own people
and figured It was an easy way
to obliterate the old chief.

power he possessed through per.
sonal qualities which appealed to
his own people. On account OF his
heavy build. he was named Slow
in his youth. but his father re-
named him Sitting Bull" when he
counted his first coup. He gained
this distinction by recklessly en-
gaging and staying an enemy war
rior in single combat
Thereafter. his rise TO power. WAS
rapid. He was made leader Of a
band which called themselves the
Midnight Strong Hearts" This
made him responsible for the tribal
hunting. as well as potent factor
in all the war councils OF the Sioux.
He consistently opposed white in
trusion and stoutly maintained his
people were being robbed Of their
country.
He early gained great proficiency
as a speaker and made many pow
erful appeals urging resistance to
white aggression and demanding
justice for the Indians.
Fled OF Canada
He was not a field general. but
apparently he planned many Of the
campaigns and had some part In
their execution. He had some part
in the battle of the Rosebud, and
planned the destruction of Custer
at Little Big Horn.
After that unfortunate engage
ment he fled to Canada, where he
lived in exile for a number of years,
Finally, the government asked him
and his band to return, which they
did. He participated In many con-
ferences with government officials
over Indian affairs, and was the
recognized leader of most of the
Sioux tribes In South Dakota. He
joined Buffalo Bill and Travelled all
over the United States as the chief
attraction of the famous wild west
shows.
Sitting Bulls tragic end came at
the very place where he was born.
Although grudgingly submitting TO
reservation life, he always remain
ed hostile" The Indian authori-
ties considered him a dangerous
agitator and a menace to peaceful
relations between the Indians and
the white settlers. II was there
fore government policy to get the
old chief out OF the way. What 10
do with him was a vcxing problem.
The Ghost Dance
Occasion for action was found
when Sitting Bull permitted the
Ghost Dancers to hold one OF their
dances at his Grand River camp.
The Ghost Dance religion was
started in western Nevada by a
Paiute Indian: 1t swept nearly all
the Indian tribes in the west. II
taught that the Messiah had re-
turned to earth-this time in the
flesh of an Indian. since the whites
had denied and killed Him: that
