The blame for tieht-locked, tense or iittery feceS can be traced to a lot Of wartime stresses, plus the one caused by the physical discomfort of heat.
 You may not be able to remove the causc but you can wipe OH the effects by using one simple mechanical aid of forcing facial muscles to relax. The trick is to lie down on your back with your feet elevated about is degrees above your head and to chew gum. either real or imaginary. which exercises facial muscles while blood is rush. ing to the extremity where they're located.
 While you're at this business oi unfuffling your serenity, slap on mask.

Two strong people may then lift the chair by grasping the legs just below the seat. If it is tipped back a little. the patient will feel less apprehensive and can relax com fortably while he is carried down the stairs. If desired. a third per- son may walk behind and steady the back of the chair.
 THREE METHODS
 If the stairs are too narrow Co permit three people to go down side by side, another arrangement will permit them to 90 single file. One person may stand behind the chair and grasp the outer spokes back about halfway down. tipping the chair slightly backward. The second person may stand In front Of the chair and, flexing the knees. may grasp the front legs to lift.
 When the head Of the stairs Is reached, the chair may be rested on the floor while the front bearer turns around so that he can go down stairs forward. By stepping down a step or two he can reach back and grasp the chair legs. hold ing the chair behind him. The same procedure may be used to carry the patient upstairs
