Here are a few sim ple suggestions: At work avoid the strain of monot ony and immobility; get up and stretch or walk about for a few mo ments each hour. Plan a complete break from activity sometime dur ing the day. Check up periodically to see whether your workday activities are all aimed directly at the attainment of your goal. Tolerate useless activ ities only as recreation. Keep away from unnecessary deadlines. If you are a housewife, Mr. Allen suggests, “ keep a chair or stool in the kitchen so that you may be seat ed while you work. Avoid body strain by wearing sensible shoes, not bedroom slippers. Eat at mealtime, and keep away from the icebox be tween times. Set aside a regular rest period each day. Do not be excessively fussy about housework; strike a happy medium instead.” During your leisure, learn to for get your work entirely. Recreation should not involve activity too close ly resembling your work. Nor is it wise to clutter your leisure time with ceaseless activity. "People un wisely assume that vigorous recrea tional activity will naturally neutral ize tension developed on their jobs, but this may not be true,” the author says. “ Unless rest is an intermedi ary, new exertion will simply create added strain. Always devote a cer tain portion of your leisure to com plete rest.” W anted: H ot Flugelhorn Player, Must Be Good The following classified ad ap peared in a newspaper: “ MUSICIAN: hot flugelhorn play er, must be able to take solos, swing blues. Apply W. W. Herman, Circle 7-0162. It seemed like a good idea to find out what a flugelhorn was, nobody around the office knowing, except perhaps H. A. S., whose day off it was. A call elicited the following: “ A flugelhorn is a four-valved in strument, a little larger than a trum pet, but resembling a trumpet in size, shape, and form. Its pitch is B-flat, producing a tone between a trumpet and a trombone. The tech nical manipulation is that of a trum pet. “The lip action in the blowing of the instrument is somewhere be tween that for a trumpet and a trom bone, and needs special aptitude in blowing. The technical name for the lip action is ‘embouchure.’ The in strument has a baritone voice.” The advertiser explained that it was one of the oldest brass instru ments, but had never been used to play hot music before. Mexican Indians Drink Pulque The universal beverage of the Mexican Indians is pulque, a fer mented product ot the maguey, or century plant, which is generally produced under the most appalling ly unhygienic conditions, Nathaniel Weyl, author of Woodstock, N. Y., says in a symposium on Latin- American culture published by the Columbia University Press. “The almost ubiquitous lack of sanitary drinking water has stimu lated the pulque habit,” according to Mr. Weyl, who reports that Otomi peasants with whom he talked ad mitted that they consumed as much as seven quarts daily. “The Mexi can Indian baby is given the same lethal diet as his parents. In some regions, infants are weaned with a cloth dipped in corn whiskey. The Mexican Indian's diet, it is pointed out, is based on maize and brown beans. Chili is introduced to stimulate the digestive juices, but it has a caustic effect on the stomach and intestines.
