Arms Should Be Free

In sitting 10 do close work,
Miss Graham believes the chief
fault is that of hugging the
arms too close 10 the body and.
next 10 that, of letting the head
go forward.
The armpits should always
be held slightly away from the
body so there is air all around
the body. That makes for a
sense of freedom, " she says.
Then. think of the spine-par-
ticularly the line at the back Of
the neck. If you stick your
neck out, you hurt yourself.
That line should be kept
straight. like a child's, 10 avoid
trouble. The entire spine should
be stretched with the waist
very firm and thin.
Since any Job that requires
the use of the same muscles
over and over tends 10 produce
a cramp. she believes in chang
ing your position in working.
Every now and then. flop for
ward in your chair. then come
up TO sitting position with an

your spine 10 the top OF your
head. Repeat that couple OF
times, and roll your shoulders in
their sockets, first forward, then
back, one side at a time.

Rest there for a second and

Miss Graham thinks you
should use your "h j d q n

make sharp or abrupt move
ment in your exercise. And,
moreover, you don't have TO go
through set of calisthenics to
use those hidden muscles
II you are very tense. she is
against exercise OF any kind.
Massage is the thing for you.
II will put you in condition.
Then you should try 10 keep

Consider the orange as a typical

the orange from these evils by an in

one Destroy the skins and expose the

of the orange vanisheS. The same is
true of the potato. The skin prevents
the oxygen from penetration into the

gets in and Immediately many changes

the fact that the potato will get red
and black. 1t is this delicate chemical
nature of some Of the vitamns that
demands intelligent handling in pre-
pairing vegetables.
That does not imply that we must
do away with cooking We must not
jump from one extreme to another.
Many vegetables cannot be eaten raw
because they are too rough and the

Also cooking eases the digestion of the

1t is desirable to have this point in
mind for proper balance in our
dinner.

contain cooked vegetables, such as
broccoli, caulihower, beans, kale, cab
bage, etc, and also salad made of
raw vegetables such as cabbage. car
rotS, tomatoes, peppers, green leaves
of turnips or mustard, lettuce, etc.
Now this is not Il difficult thing to
remember nor is it difficult habit lC
acquire. Just as we remember that Il
dinner differs from breakfast, so can
we learn to remember that every din

Power Trust Has Opened
Campaign Against Labor

st. LOliis.-ChargeS that the power
trust has started new campaign to
destroy labor's right and do away
with publicly owned utilities We're
made by Chairman Leland Olds of the
Federal Power Commission.
Spending enormous sums on news
paper and radio advertising, the power
companies are disrupting national
unity in a drive to return mOnopOlies
to the position they held prior to New
Deal reforms, Olds said.
''Tnese great economic powers
Olds asserted, that opposed the IVA,
the REA, the Bonneville administra-
ton and seek the disfranchisement Of
labor, see in the great war need for
unity an opportunity to serve their
private interests.
"They have blatantly reiterated
their program in thousands of news
papers and magazines. They offer
private enterprise by which they
mean an end to the REA's and the
Twas and Wagner acts, and all other
efforts by the people to control their
economic lives and destinies.
These interests are trying to SOW
the seeds Of discord between agricul-
ture and labor. This attempt is de-
signed to undo the progress which both
farmers and workers have made under
the New Deal. 1t is based on the well
known principle of divide and rule.
workers on the land and in the in
dustrial centerS must realize their in
terdependence if they are to create
the united action which will not only
win the war but also offer greater Sc
curity and abundance to our people.
