EXERCISE AT HOME A Short Course In Body Building For Business Men. NEW LIFE FOR THE MUSCLES. This System Is Simple, Give Help Where Help Is Needed, Takes but Ten Minutes Night and Morning and Increases Strength and Vitality. This Is a synopsis of the preliminary setting up exercises used by the trainers of the various uthlutlc teams, which 1 tested personally when captain of the Yule athletic team, and which were ap proved by the late Mike Murphy, 1 have adapted them for use by business men. SAMUEL, SCOV1LLE, JR. Get up! That's the hardest part. Then cross a pair of two puuud dumb bells, holding them with both hands up over the head, mid swing tbeni down between the outspread !egs.! then up until they are shoulder high and swing straight out to oue side as fur as possible, hoidlug the arms stretched out straight and si I If. (jo back again down between the legs and up and out the other side. If .vou don't have the dumbbells clasp the hands and do it without. This Is the famous "liver squeeze." which Simdow once Raid helped more muscles than any other single exercise. Moreover, It helps the muscles that need help. Even the most sedentary man exer cises his arms and legs somewhat. Few after middle age ever exercise the great trunk muscles that cover the vital parts of the body. That Is the reason so niauy men past forty are ruptured and suffer so easily from strained or ilieuinatle bavks and sides. That Is one reason, loo, for dyspepsia. The Mood is never flowed across the stomacb anil back as It should lie. The liver squeeze stretches and strengthens the muscles of the lower and upper back and the great flat muscles across I lie breast and abdomen, and, us its nanit? Implies, stimulates and Increases the blond supply of the digestive or gans underneath these vital muscles. Do this exercise every morning and night live times. If yon are over forty, ten times If under, for a week. Then add one a day to the number until it reaches thirty. That Is enough for the average man. In two weeks you will find that your stomach and back are hardening, that your appetite has in creased and that your digestion is bet ter. , After the liver squeeze and after each exercise take five long, slow breaths. Imldiug for a moment and breathing out slowly. Breathe right down to the bottom of the lungs or, rather, right up to the little upper cor ners that are so seldom Inflated In everyday life and where the fatal tu berculosis bug always gets Its first foothold. Then lie down flat on the bed with the legs hanging over the side and slowly raise them, without bending, straight up and down again. Put one hand on the stomach and see how the abdominal muscles come up In hard ridges. This Is the "melter," so called because, it melts the fat off the stom ach.. Five times every morning and night Is enough for the first two weeks. Then add one a day until It, too, runs up to thirty. This Is the great weight reducer and is used by all athletes to get Into condition and take off "slush," as the trainers call the fat that gathers so quickly and In sidiously over the stomach. After this exercise and the five deep breaths stand with the stomach In, chest out and nrms straight out at right angles to the body, shoulder high, and make each dumbbell describe a small circle, kneading the shoulders back. This is part of the military setting up exercises to insure a good carriage. The average man works over a desk all day and long before he is fifty stoops nt the shoulders. Twenty times every morning and night is enough for the first two weeks. Then increase it slowly up to a hun dred. The last of the exercises is for the neck muscles, which never get any ex ercise and often let the head sag for ward. Clasp the hands back 'of the beud and bend the head until the chin touches the breast. Then push the head back against the pull of the bands, keeping the chin down. Do it the same number of times as the setting up ex ercise, and in a few weeks you will be looking the world In the face again. All of these exercises should, ot course, be done before an open window or on a sleeping porch. If possible do them stripped, This gives the skin an air bath and hardens it so that It can resist cold and colds. After these exercises take a cold sponge or tub bath and drink one glass of cold water.

"'nightmare terror. In Young Children It Causes a Shock That Requires Soothing. A nightmare is a very vivid and d!s- agreeable dream, in which the sleeper finds himself in various terrifying sit uations from which there is no escape. When a sufferer's fright reaches a cli max be awakens suddenly; sometimes he is aroused by his own efforts to scream for help. A bad form of night mare occurs in young children. It is called "night terror." The child awakes suddenly from a deep sleep, panting, wide eyed, screaming but Inarticulate and clings frantically to any one who goes to, the bedside. Such attacks are most common in children between four and eight years old, but they may oc cur at any age. When grownup people have night mare it is generally owing to Indiscre tions in diet, such' as mince pie or lob ster eaten late at night. Many persons have to be very careful about what they" eat for supper, and can never safely go to sleep lying flat on the back. One characteristic of nightmare is the startling reality of it. It lacks the misty vagueness of pleasant dreams and has, while it lasts, all the sharp outline of an actual occurrence. There fore it is important that young chil dren' should be wisely nnd gently han dled when they suffer from night ter rors. Do not scold them or laugh at them or argue with them. They have suffered a real shock, with consequent loss of nervous force. Until the par oxysm Tias spent Itself, do not leave a child who has suffered In tills way alone. Sometimes, In older children, night mare nccompanles overpressure at school, and the tendency to it disap pears in the holidays. In such cases lighten the pressure of work as much as possible, make the evening meal light and digestible and keep the child from excitement during the few hours before bedtime. Youth's Companion. SIMPLY ROBBED. THEM. Mean Trick a Political Boss Played Upon His Ward Heelers. A veteran politician" when the sub ject of political gruft and blackmail came up told of the experience of the boss of a certain city who was some thing in the way of a collector him self. . One day near the close of a hot cam paign he managed to round up some $5,000. With a couple of his pals he had a bibulous celebration. About 2 In the morning he was clinging to a lamp post and trying to call a cab when two of his heelers hove in sight. He knew they would rob him if they suspected he bad money. Bracing himself, he greeted them with; "Hello, fellows; lucky you happened along.' I'm dead broke and want a cab. Get oue and take me to my ho tel and I'll make good." When they reached the hotel the drunken boss sleepily asked the clerk to give each of his companions a $5 bill. At the same time he drew from his trousers pocket a huge roll of bills and. throwing it at the clerk, told him to "keep that wad of stflff in a safe place until morning." Disgustedly the heelers watched the safe door close on the young fortune that bad escaped them, while the boss sank Into a chair. "Oh, you thief!" angrily shouted one of the heelers as he shook his fist un der ,the nose of the boss. "That's the meanest double cross you evev gave a friend In your whole crooked career. You said you was broke und you had thousands In the wad. Confound you, there's no one a fellow can trust these days. That money belongs to us by rights and you've robbed us of It" New York Sun.

Res. phones, M. 2524, 1751 Will Pay You BIBUfe?STUDYOri-2r "WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS." Luke 12:13-34 March 1. "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."'-V. SJ. 4BESUS was surrounded by a mul- tltude of Jews, one of whom re I quested that Jesus admonish his J brother to give him a share of the family Inheritance. Jesus declined, saying that He was not a judge or a divider, and backing His refusal'wlth a caution against covetousness. This implies that the. man who addressed Jesus was coveting what legally be longed to his brother. Jesus would have him. and all, see that abundance of earthly possessions is not the sum of life. The basis of happiness is meas ured by the soul's relationship to God and bopo in Illm. God's promise to Israel was that If they would keep the Law, they would inherit the Promise made to Abraham, and be iisvd'ns God's Kingdom to bless the , world. Their difficulty was that they were unable to keep the Divine re quirements. Never theless, the King dom hope was ever uppermost in their minds. Jesus came into the world to give Himself a "Kansom for all'.'. (1 Timothy 2; 6), and to begin Jesus' Reproof of the work of calling Coveting. "Israelites indeed," to constitute Ills associates in the Kingdom. He kept the Law perfectly, and, additionally, laid down Ills life saei'llkially for Adam and his race. This sacrifice en abled Iltui to, make good for the unin tentional shortcomings, of all "Israel ites indeed." While they could not keep the Law and thus obtain the Kingdom, they could by accepting Christ have the righteousness of the Law Imputed to them and be accepta ble to God. Hence Jesus' preaching was wholly along Kingdom lines, to the people who for, centuries had striv en to constitute that Kingdom. The flrst opportunity for membership in that Kingdom was granted Israel; and only in proportion as they rejected the favor did it pass to the Gentiles, as St. Taul said. (Acts 13:40). In view of these facts we see that Jesus' teachings were not addressed to the world, but to the people of God. "Soul, Take Thine Ease." Our Lord gave n parable Illustrating the comparative "folly of all earthly ambitious in contrast with the one great possibility of the Kingdom. The parable tells of a rich farmer who built greater bains and storehouses, with the thought of thenceforth tak ing bis ease. But ere long he died. , Many read into this parable things which it does not contain. They Infer that the rich man went to eternal tor ment; but nothing in the Lord's words so intimates. The expression, "This night shall thy soul be required of thee," signifies, This night you shall die in poverty. Earthly riches will be of no account in the future. The lesson is that spiritual riches should be laid up instead. That rich man might have consecrat ed his life to God through Christ, and then faithfully laid down time, tal ent, opportunities, wealth, saeriHclally. Thus he would have laid up treusures in , Heaven, and in the resurrection would have been received of the Lord as a member of His Kingdom class, commissioned to scatter Divine bless ings for a thousand years to all the families of the earth. That rich man, having missed h's opportunities,' will nevertheless come .forth during Christ's Millennial King dom; for all in the ju.ih .iJ graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and come forth. Uls resurrection will be that described as the Resurrection of Judgment. (John 5:21). R. . V.) He will come forth to shame and con tempt, which will .""-!"" v.ifctl fc mthe?"""" torn a better character; or, re fusing to do so, he will be cut off in the Second Death. "Seek First the Kingdom." Jesus did not mean that we are to look amongst the kingdoms of earth hoping to find one of them His King dom. On the contrary, He informs us that His Kingdom is future: "My Kingdom is not of this world"-this order of things. We hope, we wait, we pray, we prepare for that King dom, seeking it In the sense of doing those things which shall make 1 us "meet for the inheritance of the saints in light." (. For those who would be heirs of the Kingdom there Is one definite proce dure: (li They must recognize themselves as slnnors, unworthy of Divine notice; 2i They must recognize Jesus as tlit Lamb of God, which taketb away the sin of the world;" They must realize that while His sacrifice is the basis of the world's reconciliation to God. nevertheless that wink Is to be accomplished by Him during Ills Millennial Uegn; (4i They are to hear the lord's dec laration that He Is now seeking the Kingdom class those whose saintshlp will endure fiery trials In respect to tleir love and loyalty to God and the li ctliren.eveii unto den lb. CONViGTWORK 1! PUBLIC HIGHWAYS Majority of States Now Usa Prison Labor. DISCARD CONTRACT SYSTEM During the Present Year Thirteen States Have Passed Laws Allowing the Use of Convicts In the Construc tion and Repair of Roads. . Thirteen states have passed laws during the' present year allowing the use of convicts In the construction and repair of highways, according to a compilation by Dr, E. Stagg Whltln, assistant In social legislation In Co lumbia university and chairman of the executive committee of the national committee on prison labor. They are Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, New Jersey, North Dakotu, Pennsylvania, Vermont West Virginia and Wisconsin. As many other states had previously passed similar legislation, but few of the forty-eight states have not adopted the policy of using prisoners to build and maintain public roads. West Virginia aud Iowa are the two states whose laws regarding the work ing of convicts on highways stand out most prominently. So anxious was the governor of the former state to se cure an effective law that be went to New York and with the assistance of representatives of the national com mittee on prison labor, of the road de partment of Columbia, university and of the legislative drafting bureau worked out bills making compulsory the employment of convicts on the roads. The West Virginia law author izes the county courts to make appro priations out of road funds for convict work; It states that the court shall sen tence any male person over sixteen to road work Instead of to the county Jail; persons charged with misdemean ors unable to furnish ball Bhall work on the roads and if acquitted when tried shall be paid SO cents a day for each day's work they perform; justices of the peace shall sentence to work on the roads persons convicted of crime whom otherwise they would send to the county Jail, Another feature of the West Virginia law is the establishment of a state road bureau to supervise any plans proposed by a coutity for using prison labor In road building. The plans ap proved, the county shall apply to the board nf control for the number of Gotsrieir and Colliers only $2.50 prisoners required and shall state the length of time they shall be needed. The board shall, as far as possible, give equal service to each of the conn ties and shall determine which prison era may be assigned to such work. The warden is to provide suitable and movable quarters, which shall be built, where possible, by convict labor. The convicts shall remain under direct con trol of the warden, their work, how ever,' being under the supervision of the road bureau. In Iowa the board of control of the state institutions with the advice of the warden of any penal Institution, may permit able bodied male prisoners to work on the roads. The law spe cifically states such labor shall not be leased to contractors. A prisoner op posed to such work, or whose character and disposition make it probable that he would attempt escape or be unruly, Is not to be worked on the highways. Although the prisoners are under the Jurisdiction of the warden while build ing or repairing roads, their work Is supervised by the state highway com missioner. Prisoners employed on the highways of Iowa receive such part of their earnings above the cost of their keep as the board deems equitable, the earnings either being funded or given to their dependent families. Before Iowa passed ber present prison labor laws, George W. Cosson. attorney gen eral of the state, made a thorough in vestigation of the prisons of his own and other states, and strongly de nounced the contract system, under which the prisoners were employed up to that time. Mr. Cosson drew up the road bill nnd Is of the opinion it will do much to drive the contract system nt of the state. England's Mother Church.

Typhoid Fever" Typhoid Is usually disseminated by means of Impure water, milk or food and sometimes by flies, but we must not forget that, as Koch said, "there is no other source of infection of typhoid than man." It Is fellow creatures of ours who are responsible for Its spread. Typhoid fever Is a disease of dirt. Un clean habits cause typhoid fever. Be therefore clean and help others to be clean.
