ADVERTIaEMENT

by LILLIAN COA A1hCI.
For several weeks florists shops
have been displaying branches of
pussy willows and the wee pussies
have been stepping out along the
stems soon after being placed in q
warm room There are few har-
bingers Of spring more potent in
their appeal than pussy willows
standing in colorful jar where the
sunshine can reach them.
In Swamps, on moist hillsides and
in shady spots, pussy willows flourish
from Nova Scotia to Manitoba south
to Delaware and west as far as
Missouri.
The flowers arrive in March; in
some localities. much earlier. The
shrub, or small tree, not more than
Is feet in height, shows first a rich
crop of buds on the stout branches.
These branchlets have pubescent
coating of purplish red, and the buds
are flattended, pointed and Of red
dish hue. Before the leaves begin
to unfurl, the silky oval gray aments
appear Some of us have always
been taught that these are the
fairies kittens, because they first
have silky gray coat. After the
warm sun shines on the buds, they
begin to fluff and turn yellow.
And how the insects hasten to
call! They need a bit Of nectar,
as well as some golden pollen, to
break their long fast. Soon the
shrub is covered with millions of
yellow puSsieS, and the busy hum of
insects may be heard clearly If you
are close by.
The leaves are described as OBJ
long-lanceolate, acute at both ends.
If you will study them at close
range, you may get definite idea of
the reason for the scientific de-
scription and observe other marks of
Identification equally interesting
These leaves are from to inches
long, bright green above with q
silvery lining
The fruits are amentS of beaked
capsules, each long and pointed on
q slender stem and with a broad,
hairy scale.
Willows are water children. Most
OF them must have their toes In the
water or where the ground is very
moist. But some willows do grow in
dry places. we must not forget. The

along their prescribed path. The
root system is excellent for pre-
venting rich soil from being washed
out to sea. The wind prunes the
willows, their extra branches often
falling to the ground to take root.

Relax
Otter,
BY DIR. Logan Ciendenine

Then relax the muscles OF the
face and the neck,
The neck muscles often re-
main tense when the rest OF the
body is quite relaxed.
Then the upper arms and the
lower arms and then the abdo-
men, which is another part OF
the body that Is seldom COM
pletely relaxed.
1t takes a little practice to at
tain complete relaxation In this
way, but within week or 10
days anybody should be able TO
learn TO do il.
After that the relaxation
period should be made a regular
part of the daily routine
Some people will need two re-
Taxation periods: one In the
morning and one in the after
noon.
With the majority OF people a
relaxation period in the morning
is the best.
low 10 relax while active Is
H another lesson that many
OF US need.
The amount OF waste OF en-
ergy that the average person Is
guilty of while performing very
simple tasks Is astonishing.
Differential relaxation while
at work means TO have q mini
mum of tensions in the muscles
requisite for an act, along with
the relaxation OF the other
muscles of the body.
While you are sitting down
you should learn, until 1t be-
comes instructive. to review the
same procedure as that followed
while lying down relaxing dif-
ferent muscles of the body.
The benefit that many people
receive from this procedure Is
out Of all proportion TO its sim
plicity.
Doctor Jacobson has testi-
monials from all sorts Of people,
including physicians, expressing
their gratitude 10 him for the
general benefit TO their health
that came from progressive and
deliberate attention TO this rou-
tine of relaxation

7 SUPPOSE there never has
L been a time in our history
when the gospel of relaxation
needs 10 he preached TO Ameri-
cans any more than II does right
now.
Far from being too complacent
about this war, az we have so
often been accused, il seens TO
me that the American people
are taking IL too hard.
Most of US, in addition TO our
regular routine duties, have
taken on defense work, but il
Is not necessary 10 brood about
IL and think about the war all
the time.
War nerves are becoming a
recognized condition.
MO METHOD OF relaxation
~ compares 10 the use of rest
and cultivated relaxation as
recommended by DR.. Edmund
jacobson of Chicago.
His book is called you Must
Relax"
Medicines that relax you are
merely temporary expedients
and they leave an after-effect
which really is an exaggeration
Of the original nervousness.
Massage is more OF stimu-
liant than relaxation and some
people find II makes them rest
less and wakeful.
Cultivated relaxation consists
In taking a certain period in the
day and lying down and deliber-
ately relaxing the muscles, one
after the other.
This Is not as easy TO do as it
sounds.
People may lie down and even
20 TO sleep and still be tense In
a good many Of their muscles.
Progressive relaxation means
that you must think about all
the muscles in the body in sue
cesSion and relax them until the
entire body is completely limp.

There is an entirely different
feeling in your whole head when

"A would be a good idea for
the government to start chasing
those thousands of musical

the army and navy who were
appointed for political reasons
or because they were born in

not trained a single minute and
are totally inadequate physically
and mentally to com m n d
others and whose appearance
in uniform is an affront to all
beholders.
They are drawing pay from
the government as officers and
while some can truthfully say
that this pay is less than they
received in civil life, that fact
does not lessen the burden on
the taxpayers and their seTv-
ice to date in most cases is not
worth a dime a day.
Those under 80 should be put

IL the master minds had lis
