RIGHT AND WRONG
POISE
Bodily Posture la a Potent Factor In
Good Health.
The carriage of the body may deter
mine the condition of one's health.
Bad poise is often responsible for the
failure of the vital organs to perform
their functions properly. It causes ref
use material to be deposited In the tis
sues and is responsible for a large per
centage of headaches.
Because of the unnatural strain on
muscles and ligaments, more nervous
and muscular energy are expended in
holding a poor position than In main
taining a correct bodily posture.
Good poise gives the blood a chance
to carry new food material where
needed and to eliminate waste. It al
lows the nerves to carry their mes
sages and for the lungs to fill the tis
sues with life giving oxygen. A certain
readiness for action saves lost motion.
The common faults of posture are
drooping shoulders, protruding bead,
hollow chest, round shoulders, hollow
back, bent knees and weak or fiat feet.
Many persons have almost all of these
defects.
It is claimed that more than 50 per
cent of all cases of spinal trouble are
due to faulty positions which have be
come habitual.
Dally exercise, well regulated, will
not only prevent but will correct many
faulty postures.
Dancing is one of the most whole
some and most effective ways of culti
vating good carriage. It calla into play
muscles in all parts of the body and
tends to produce gracefulness.
Of great value for similar reasons
are many of tbe outdoor sports such as
swimming, skating, tramping, rowing
and horseback riding. — Pittsburgh

GIVING LIFE FOR PEACE.
Hew s Deadly Feud Between Alaskan
Tribes Was Ended.
Ending a war Is always attended
with difficulties and perplexities. It is
Interesting to recall tbe manner in
which twe Alaskan tribes, the Stickeen
and the Sitkas, once settled such a
matter. The late John Muir narrated
the facts. The bloody feud had lasted
all summer, for the parties were evenly
matched, and they were all likely to
starve in tbe winter because the wo
men dared not go out to fish or pick
berries. But one day a Stickeen chief
appeared between the camps and called
for a parley. He said:
“My people are hungry. They dare
not go to the salmon streams or berry
fields for winter supplies, and if this
war goes on much longer most of my
people will die of hunger. We have
fought long enough; let us bave peace.
You brave Sitka warriors go home, and
we will go home, and we will all set
out to dry salmon and berries before it
Is too late."
The Sitka chief replied:
"You may well say let us stop fight
ing when you hare had tbe best of It.
You have killed ten more of my tribe
than we have killed of yours. Give us
the Stickeen men to balance our blood
account; then and not till then will we
make peace and go home."
“Very well," replied tbe Stickeen
chief; “you know my rank. You know
that I am worth ten common men and
more. Take me and make peace."
Tbe offer was accepted. Tbe chief
gave himself up and was shot down In
his tracks in sight of both tribes. One
man died for many, and peace was re
stored.—Christian Advocate.
