' - 1 ? ^v*pi + Exercises for Stren{ Resisting Tende Given By Wm. E. Adams Taken mostly from the work of Leo them after being given up by hi mother and two sisters by the sa These exercises are now given by 1 many physicians to their patients in addition to their regular treatment, ' and there are many cures. Though these facts have been public property for years, they have been largely neglected because no one was teaching them for pay with this end in view. They have been given mostly in schools of expression for the purpose of development for speech. The j bookls which give them are out of jl print, so far as we can learn. Direction* and Warning*. Always stop the exercise, even if in ; the middle of a breath, if dizziness j' begins or a pain starts, exhaling slow- j ly, but not collapsing. In case of misplacement or ad- ; hesion of organs, see a physician and j1 overcome the trouble, lest what 1 should cure might kill. 1 Observe the rules of hygiene con- ! stantly, or the exercises will be of 1 little value. This we have found hard- 1 est to overcome, that the people who ' have this disease are often determ- ! ined to keep the habits that caused it, and there can be no cure without re- 1 moval of this cause. Sleep as nearly 1 as possible in the open air, well- pro- 1 tected, never remaining in a close 1 room. Keep the body clean, use common sense diet such as any good ' physician will dire *ct. Do not drain your vital forces by excesses of any ' kind, nor overmuch exertion at any ! time. Conserve your vital forces. ! Do not allow yourself to be exposed 1 to trying storms, nor to go from home 1 . unprepared for them. Take all these exercises, with ' weight mostly on the balls of the feet, ' if strong enough to stand; take only as many at a time, and only such exercises as you can with comparative ' ease, renewing them many times a day, when strong enough. They ( should be taken from an occasional ' moment by one very weak (maybe 1 only a deep breath at first) to fifteen 1 minutes three to five times a day; or 1 in case of joining of good physical ' culture for the whole body, two and 1 one-half hours per day for one of ^ reasonable strength. Take us much out-of-door exercise mildly, as your 1 condition will allow. Always breathe through the nose, and have a surgeon remove any obstruction to free breath the first thing you do (adenoids or enlarged tonsils). Many more exercises could be given, but these are the best. The Exercise* Inhale as you slowly raise the arms A from side over head, clasp hands, turn 1 them over, strech up, holding the ' breath. Exhale slowly, arms coming 1 gradually to side. Repeat three 1 times. Place arms high fold. Inhale slow- ( ly as they move down and back. ' Clasp wrist with other hand. Hold 1 breath as you stretch backward, and 1 down. Exhale slowly as arms come * to high fold. Take three times. 1 Place palms together straight front. J Inhale slowly as you bring arms baek * even with and past the shoulder, ris- s ing on toes. Hold. Exhale as you c come to original position. Take three 1 times. c (These exercises are the easiest beyond the matter of deep breath merely, and aid in securing that end, while * the heating air forces its way into unused cells, and the gentle muscular movements aid in the opening.) Inhale fully, and exhale through t the compressed protruding lips. This l is the "lung sweeper," and is very t helpful at any time as a restful exer- n cise, after special exertion, in addi- a tion to being one of the best in the t series. By the pressure of the dia- r phragm and abdominal muscles up- n ward, and the resistance of the lips to t the passage of the air, the lung reAAUfAa A A 1 * vui.v.i u Kcnuv niH?sai;e mat opens Us p F* neglected parts. The following exercises should be r taken only by those reasonably strong j from previous exercise, or never hav- r ing been really diseased. To force j these on a badly diseased lung would ^ kill the patient. ^ Inhale as fully as possible, as you (l raise a stick above the head, and r hold the breath as you bring it down back of the neck (hands about two s *?"?t apart). Run or take other exer- { cise until uncomfortable, holding ^ breath, then raise the stick above the ( head, and exhale as it is brought to position. Inhale fully and hold breath while ' you bend with hands on knees, having some careful friend strike you on the back over the luntrs with th?* nnlm?

Soldi* dg jthening Lungs ncy to Tuberculosis at Radcliffe Chautauqua*, Kofller, who was himself cured by s physicians. Mr. Kofller had lost a me dread disease. his hands (rapidly, but not hard). When uncomfortable, slowly rise, and let out breuth with lung sweeper. In case no one is by to help, you can accomplish a little by drawing a deep breath and striking yourself about the chest rapidly, but not too hard. Train your chest muscles of themselves to hold the chest well out. In addition to the breathing exercises, raise the chest many times a day by its own mussles. Lower it to the limit, then raise it to the limit without breathing. Remember that in proper breathing the lungs should expand evenly in all directions. With the chest in proper (jusiiiuii, 11113 win not raise us upper part except at the end o f a long breath. The all-around chest (or clavicular and costal) movements, must always be noticed; and the diaphraghm and abdominal muscles should press down and out with every inhalation, nnd move in and up with every exhalation. This is the criterion of correct breathing. The consumptive, and many other people, always have it reversed. When you first waken in the morning, remaining flat on the back, see that the abdomen is rising with every inhalation habitually. Train the abdominal muscles by iaily exercise to be the strongest in pour body, as they should be, protecting organs not surrounded by bony structure. In delicate conditions no sudden movements should be taken, uut very slow, with particular care aot to give the least effort or strain. 3f course the abdominal movements :annot be as strong and marked in such a case. Some physicians are against all jreathing exercises, because hemorrhage may come during one of these ireaths. My position is, that it will :ome sure if you wait for the germs ;o eat through the walls of your ungs, and often does come in the niddlc of the night when there is no iction even in coughing. If any one jrefers this eating process to the hance that hemorrhage might come vhile he breathed, he might well stop jreathing at once, and be safe. Beter make the lungs strong to resist. (In presenting these exercises to >ur readers we are not offering a 'cure-all" nor a "sure cure" for even >nc disease. The importance of getting plenty of air into your lungs, vhether sick or well, is so important ,o the health of the individual, that ve are glad to present them.

Mont easily distinguished from the similarly colored loggerhead Blirlke by the absence of a conspicuous black stripe through the eye. Range: Resident from southern Mexico north to California, Wyoming, Iowa, Ohio and Maryland; casual farther north. Habits and economic status: Because of Its incomparable medleys and ; Imitative powers, the mocking bird Is | the most renowned singer of the west| em hemisphere. Even In confinement It Is a masterly performer, and forineri ly thousands were trapped and sold for cage birds, but fhls reprehensible practice has been largely Btopped by protective laws. It is not surprising, therefore, that the mocking bird should receive protection principally because of Its nhllitv no a unmrot. and Its preference for the vicinity of , dwellings Its place in the affections ( of the South is similar to that occupied by tho robin in the North. It is 1 well that this is true, for the bird appears not to earn protection from a strictly economic standpoint. About ! half of its diet consists of fruit, and | many cultivated varieties are attacked, such as oranges, grapes, figs, strawberries, blackberries, and raspj berries Somewhat less than a fourth | of the food is animal matter, and grasshoppers are the largest single elei ment. The bird is fond of cotton worms, and is known to feod also on ' the chinch bug, rice weevil, and boll- ! worm. It is unfortunate that it does not feed on injurious insects to an ex- | tent sufficient to offset its dopredatlons on fruit. COOPER'S HAWK (Accipter cooperl) Length, about fifteen Inches. Medium sized, with long tall and short wings, and without the white patch j on rump which Is characteristic of the marsh hawk. Range: Hrecds throughout most of i the United States and southern Cani ada; winters from the United States ! to Costa Rica. I Habits and economic status: The Cooper's hawk, or "blue darter," as j It is fainilfarly known throughout the i South, te pre-eminently a poultry and j bird-eating species, and Its destructlveness in this direction is surpassed only by that of its larger congenor, the goshawk, which occasionally in autumn and winter enters the United Statos from the North In great numbers. Tho almost universal prejudice against birds of prey is largely due to * the activities of these two birds, as- j slsted by a third, the sharp-shinned ! hawk, which in habits and appearance j might well pass for a small Cooper's hawk. These birds usually approach ! under cover and drop unon unsuarww- I lug victims, making great inroads upon poultry yards and game coverts favorably situated for this style of bunting. Out of 123 stomachs examined, 38 contained the remains of mammals. Twenty-eight species of wild birds were identified In the abovementioned material. This destructive hawk, together with its two near relatives, should bo destroyed by every possible means. FOR SALE COKER NO. 9 LONG STAPLE Cotton Seed, recleaned and graded.

MEETING FARMER HALF WAY Uncle Gam, by Aid of Needed Legislation, Is Solving Many of Problems of the Agriculturists. Uncle Sum has been meeting the farmers half wuy In the effort to lmI prove the economic condition of tin I latter, according to Curl Vroonmn, as' Slstnnt secretary of agriculture. In a review of the most Important step* taken In this direction In the past few j years, Mr. Vroonmn points out that foi ! lifty years the United States depart I meat of nerlmiltnre hn? ! how to Increase production on tin I farms, but that It is only very recentlj ! that stress has been laid on u studj I of the problem of making that produc tton profitable. In the past, he says there has been a mistaken theory thai everybody is interested in Increasing agricultural production, but that no body but the farmer Is Interested it , making that production profitable. ! That this theory has at last been rec agnized as fallacious Is indicated b; i Important legislation enacted In tin last few years. Prominent In this leg i Islatlon was the creation, in 11)13, o j the ofllce of markets and rural organ Izatlon. The creation of this office says Mr. Vrooman, "was an innova tlon of epoch-making significance^ I This office "represents tin? first at tempt on the part of the governmen to remedy tlirough sclent i lie investiga tlon the waste and extravagance in oui present methods of distributing am ! disposing of farm products. Long bo I fore there was any official recognitor j of the need for this step, the farmer* themselves realized the necessity foi I it. The Grange movement, the Farm illllllllCI' IIIIIVI'IIH'III, 3111*1 Till' 1'OP ullst movement were all inspired bj i the conviction on the part <?f the pro ducers that organization on their pari I wus essential to improvement in theii | economic condition. The assistant secretary points out that while man) ' of the specific remedies demanded l>> i the leaders of these movements wcr? imprnctlcahle, their basic demand? I were just, and he emphasizes the noi cesslty of applying to these problem? ' much the same methods of scientific study which have made possible sucli | extraordinary advances in the produc tion of crops. "Magna Charta of Farmer." In addition to the creation of tli< I ofllco of markets and rural organize | tion, a number of luws liuve beer | passed which are characterized as lie lng of immense economic importuuci ! to the farmer. Perhaps the most itn portant one of these, lie says, is "thai I financial magna chartu of the farmer the Farm Loan Act." "This," declares the assistant secretary, "is tin first great financial measure evet passed hy congress primarily in the interest of the farmer. I have no doubt thnt in the future it will be strengthened by amendments with regard to some of its minor details, as was the federal reserve bill, but In all fairness it must be admitted that this bill will do for tin- farmer very much what the Federal Reserve Act is doing foi the business limn. It will furnish the farmer with those fundamental necessities that he hns been asking for, voting for, and praying for, during the past half century." Those fundamental necessities are detlued as: | 1. Available capital In sufficient j quantities for the farmer's legitimate needs. L\ Loans on longer time and easier terms of payment. 3. Lower rates of Interest. Another measure cited in this connection Is the Bonded Warehouse Act of August 11, 11)10. This legislation was passed In response to a demand on the part of the farmers for a mechanism that would enable them to borrow money more easily, and at a lower rate of interest, on stored crops. It permits a farmer to place produce In a bonded warehouse and secure a receipt for It. On this receipt he can easily borrow money, for It represents gilt-edged security. The risk which in the old days the hanker took in lending money, even to farmers with good credit. Is eliminated by this method and the rates of interest therefore lowered. New Epoch Has Begun. The cotton futures act and the United States grain standards act are cited as further examples of recent iirntrniuui Vit ti I'm r .n n 11 >i'i vht t i< h i "Tim I" "n* % ' *" latter of these," Mr. Vroomnn su.vs, "is u step til tlu* direction of national efficiency and natural economic pre puredness." Its effect will lie markedly beneficial on our foreign commerce In grain. In summing up the effect of these and other laws, Mr. Vroomnn says: "It Is clear, I think, that as a result of this splendid program of constructive legislation, a new agricultural epoch has begun. At last what for so long was merely the hope, the aspiration, the dream of the widely-scattered, Imperfectly organized tillers of our soli has become the avowed policy of the federal department of agriculture, and has been written by congress Into the law of the land."

LESS TALK AND MORE ACTION United States Is Now Buying Raw Ma- | terial Abroad and Manufacturing It Here for Re-Export to Europe. ( The outstanding feature In the for elgn trade situation, up to this time, > of the United States, has been the In creasing stability of our export nctlvi Ities, according to Uncle Sum's experts ? In the bureau of commerce. i ' ] During the first year of the Euro- I peun war, mey point out, groat em* phasls was placed upon the opportunl> ties of the merchants and luanufactur* ers of this country to engage In foreign ' trade. In this agitation, however. It Is r said, there was much that was unstable " and vague, much that smacks of loose ? thinking and glittwlng generalities. 1 Recently, however, a distinct change 5 ha? taken place. There has been less " unproductive talk and fewer dinners 1 have been devoted to the subject. More capital has been put Into actuul, tnn* gihle development, more salesmen f have been sent out, longer credit terras 8 have been extended and on more careful basis. Interest in foreign trade ' has not been confined to manufacturers and merchants, but has been shared by hunks, universities, colleges, stu? dents and the general public. These * are the conclusions that Uncle Sam's " experts have reached who are continually making a careful study of tills one matter. j Third in Exports Before War. Not only, they say, have there been changes In our general attitude toward ^ foreign trade, but there have appeared r certain fundamental changes In our foreign trade situation. 1'rlor to the (European war the United States was ! the third exriortilll? tuition of tlio vunrlil I England and Germany exceeded this country In the volume of their exports . and also in the total volume of their foreign trade. It Ls evident, therefore, r thnt the United States, contrary to the r prevailing Impression, did piny u slg, nlficnnt role in the International trade . of the world. Ours was not only a considerable' part, but It had, for a . number of years before the beginning . of the European war, been a rapidly { Increasing part in international trade. It should he observed, however, the experts state, thnt raw materials, foodstufTs, 14ml unfinished products played t by far the most Important part In our [ exports, and that manufactured goods, ( on the other hand, played a very considerable part In our Imports. The situation, during the past year, how| ever, has shown a genuinely striking t i change. Our total foreign trade, and especially our exports, has increased at a great rate. The United States , has had a foreign trade greater than . any other country during any year. There has also been a marked shifting in the character of our foreign trade. Most important of all, perhaps. I? .V- ? . ? , to me urt-ui increase in mir expnrta, tinns of manufactured goods and the decrease ifi our importations of such ; goods. I Now Import Raw Materials. . I The experts point out that there Is . no reason Urr anxiety over our Imports. . , The increase lias been unprecedented. . j but it has been of a most satisfactory , | character. For Instance, it is stated, the group of crude materials imported . during the past year for use in manufacturing showed an Increase of $.'111,: 000,(MM), and the hulk of these crude | . ! materials do not compete with prod- j j uets of home Industries. For the most I > | part, it is pointed out, they are ma- I I terials that are not produced in suf- I j fielent quantities to meet the demands I of our domestic manufacturers. Hefore the beginning of the war a considerable quantity of these materials were used in Europe to manufacture finished goods for sale to us. Condii tlons have so changed that we not only find It profitable to do this manufacturing ourselves, but actually have engaged in manufacturing some of the material for re-export to Europe. TRY IT!
