Upend as much time out of doors as possible. Bask much in the sun and take plenty of exercise. Take care that your respiration is al ways doep and regular. 2. As regards meals, oat meat only once a day, and let the diet be eggs, coroals and vegetables, fruits and fresh cows' milk. Take the last-named as much as possible. Masticate your foodcarefully. 3. Take a hot bath every day, and a steam bath once or twice a week if the heart is strong enough to bear it. 4. Early to bed and early to rise. ( 5. Sloop In a very dark and very quiet room, with windows open. Let the minimum of sleeping hours be six or six and one-half hours, In case of women eight and one-half hours is advisable 6. Take one day of absolute rest each week in which you must refrain from even reading or writing. 7. Try to avoid any outbursts of passion and strong mental stimulations. Do not tax your brain at the occurrence of inevitable incidents or coming events. Do not say unpleasant thingsnor listen, if possible to avoid it, to disagreeable things. 8. Bo married. Widows and widowers should be married with the least possible delay. 9. Be moderate in the consumption of even tea and coffee, not to say to bacco and alcoholic beverages. 10. Avoid places that are too warm, especially steam Seated and badly ventilated rooms. I A POPULAR AMUSEMENT. IT IS only a few years since tho first moving-picture shows were presented to the public, but they at onoo becamo popular, and have steadily bocomo moro so. Nor has tho limit been reached, for they aro still growing in pop ularity, i This Is evidenced by the report of the business done in tho United States by these shows during 'the year 11H2. A million dollars is a big sum, ono that is practically beyond comprehension unless put in somo tangiblo form, With a wngo of $1 a day it would take a man .100 years to earn a million dollars and at a 'day it would require 100 years' steady work to earn that sum. It would mean an income of )100 a day for ,10 years. This looks like a pretty large sum to spend for picturo shows in a Ji'sr, but that is only a small part of what wns spout in that way in this country InVt year. The amount spent for this amusement In that time was $100,000,000. At 5 cents a show this would give an atteudance of 8,000,000,000, or an average of 80 visits and H per head for every n on woman and child in the United States. It would require that each person attend about 80 ihows a year, and as many do not go there must be some who get there much oftoner than that. It also gives one an idea of the magnitude of the country, and the unlinjted resources it must have te permit such an expenditure. If Japan or any other nation should think seriously of starting trouble with this coun try, they might get a good hunch by reading the statistics of our moving picture shows. It would give them an idea as to tho amount of coin this coun try could dig up in case of war, Japan is struggling under a debt of a million and a half dollars, which seems almost a hopeless debt to her, yet what we send for picture shows alone would In three years pay off her entire debt. And while this was being done the great American hen would lay eggs enough to pay another like it. Let the American hen get busy and tho sum now spent in moving-picture shows be diverted to war purposes and the two sums would maintain an army of 200,000 and a pretty good sized navy along with it. Just digest this statement, and then make an estimate of what the eminry could do if it woke up and really tried to raise money to repel a foetgn invader. Of course, all this has nothing to do with the mntter of the "movjos," and they have nothing to do with war other than to possibly show us some of the scenes, hut they tell us of our own exhnustless resources iust the same. They are growing In popularity all the lime, and when tho "talking movies" a onoo installed, which will happen soon, there will bo a slill greater popu larity for them. As It is they aro doing things to tho theatrical profession, and for tho public, for they are taking a huge number of low-grade theatrical companies off the road, and in that way are doing gonuiuo good work for a long suffering public, THE SOURCE OP POWER FOR THE TUTURB. S0IKNTIHT8 see in the tot very distant future the exhaustion of the world's conl and fuel supply, tho time when, unless some source of sup ply now unknown is found, the world will be without either artificial heat or light. This mailer has already caused considerable Investigation and comtucut as to what can be done, and the water power and the tides am said to be about nM there Is in sight in this line, except always the power that may be generated from the heat of tho sun. It is it-toroxilng in this connection to note what the savants nre doing nlnng this 'inc. Ono uiggests that radium would settle tho difficulty, and it no doubt would, but the trouble Is that radium Is rather scarce, ono scientist saying that it Is doubtful If the world will ever produce more than half an ounce of radium in a year; not a very large quantity to look forward to as a source of power or heat. These same Scientists assure us that the encgy con tained In one ton of radium would equal that produced by the combustion of 1, .100,000 tons of conl. There is evidently no hope of relief from this source, but (hero may be from similar source. Science Is convinced that other materials coutnin this same energy, They say that tho calcium in gypsum, and the sodium In. common salt contain this same principle, and that from these and possibly others, power in quantity will some day be produced. The ovldi'iico of tho wonderful atomic energies in the common elements of everyday material is rapidly accumu lating, and scientists are of the opinion . . . i -t V A that perhaps these same discoveries may in time alter the wnoie iuiuro w human race. In this connection it might be. profitable to inquire into the uni versal demand of not only the human family, but of all brute creation for salt. While that material has always been looked upon as a condiment, rath er than as a necessity, may it not be that it contains in its latent energy, such as is suggested by the scientists, some element necessary to health! May it not be that in this immaterial everyday substance, there is an element of life-giving or life-sustaining quality that is really material! If not why the universal demand for it in its food by the human family! Why the demand for it by all animals! Undoubtedly the world must look to the chemistB for much in the near future, and heat and power are two of the necessities that they must provide for the world's use, and while they are looking into this what wonderful discoveries are possible. IS STILL BOTHERING Question Whether Marriage Prevents Woman From Doing Her Best Work In Schools. SAY FIGHT ENCOURAGES RACE SUICIDE IN COUNTRY War Waged on Women Teachers Who Are Married Not Move in Right Direction Is Claim. illustrate her , BY CARLTON TEN EYCK. (Written lor tho United Press.) UNITED FIIBHS LKAHKD Wins. New York, July 21. Docb marriage and motherhood interefere with wo man's efficiency as a public school teacher! That is the question a world of eoodr now agitating the New York board of : education, and many civic bodies throughout the Greater City have taken the problem up. The question has become such a burning issue that the other day 150 men and women, teachers, lawyers, writers and ac tresses, formed themselves into a League for the Civic Service of Wom en, which will in the fall begin an ac tive campaign in tho interests of mar ried women teachers. The argument started when Mrs. Katherine C. Edgell, a member of the Erasmus High School faculty, formally applied to the board of education for a year's leave of absence without pay for the purpose of bearing and rearing a chid. The board, after considerable debate and deliberation, refused Mrs. Edgell's lequest. The newspapers and periodicals got hold of the scory and gave it much space, arousing discussion throughout the city. Fuel was added to tho flnme when Mrs! Bridget C, Peixotto, a Hronx teacher, was suspended indefi Just thing of what we had to do to reduce our avoirdupois before the tan go came along. We went through all sorts of tiresome, unattractive exer cises at heme alone or else in the gymnasium where we wore an ngly, uncomfortable suit. But now it is all different. The tango has banished rolling and all the other tiresome and inefficient flesh cures and gives ns grace and enjoyment at the same time. "That is why it is here to stay. It? is the very best kind of exercise, and it is amusing as well. It is the very best way that has yet been dis covered to reduce the hips and remove tho double chin." And then the dev otee will proceed to point. "Now watch. One, two, three, turn one, two, three, dip that's the one. See! The entire weight is placed on the right leg. .The knee is bent while the left foot is' pointed straight out in front to balance the body, with the head and trunk thrown back. Now in that one short lived dip is there not Doob it not take the place of all those monotonous bending exercises the calesthenic teachers used to give us! And does not tossing back the head take the double chin away! No need of chin supporters or ice bandages if you dance the tango." So! The 1913 society slogan there fore must be: "Reduce. Dip, reverse with a quick twist and reverso again with a dip. Reduce." Our Battleships Fy E. P. Cohen. Washington, April 1, 1014.

MM Twenty married teachers attended the meeting at the Hotel Astor, where the League fort he Civic Service of Women was launched and the move ment was indorsed by the New Math ers' Club and the Women Lawyers' Club. For many years there have been married women employed in the public schools of Now York, and from time t time they have dropped out on sick leave and havo become mothers. The question never became a public one until Mrs. Edgell made formal appli cation to tho board for a year's leave of absence, giving as her reason her wish to become a mother. Members of the board who opposed Mrs, Ed gell's request for a motherhood vaca tion, defend theiraction by saying that they do not approve of married wom en as teachers. They have no objec tion, defend their action by saying that that matrimony lowers the efficiency of women ns teachers. When they have homo and husband and children, it was argued, the teachers cannot give their undivided attention to their pu pils and their school duties. As mi a.lditonal argument, they point out that the home is the place for tho married woman and that she has no bnsinesa out in the world working when she has a teacher's job, when there are so many single and depend cut women who are forced to support temselves and who would make capable school teachers. Those who have taken up the cudgel for Mrs. Edgell and tho other married teachers, say t lust the attitude of the board of education is inimical to soci ety and encouraging to race suicide. They also declare that married women nniuraiiy maas me nest teachers, since by the fuller experience In ilife thev are better fitted to teach young girls or hoys and train them for normal, happy lives. Tango enthusiasts are putting up a new argument for the permanence of the craw The argument is going the round of the hotel ball rooms, res taurants and by the ses dancing pa vilions. And of course it Is always a charming debutante or an equally charming young matron who advance the new reason. The devotees of the tango, and especially the proprietors of the places where it flourishes have heroine vastly alarmed at the concert ed attacks made on the "American negroid'' dunces, as they are called abroad, and thev are seizing every plausible argument to boost the gyrat ing dunce. This Is the way they p the latest: "No dance can ever replace the tan go, for, don't you see, it ii just an other name for a beauty exercise! foreign commerce.

Tho woman movement, which ap pears in the nature of an uprising all over the world, is delivered by many1 to make a turn in tho tido ol history. The feature most apparent is the masculine helplessness in front of it. There are a few Mrs. Tartingtons of the male variety, but not many. A few gentlemen are sitting in the middle of the road "cussin," but most of the gentlemen are waiting to see the procession in a quizzical frame of mind. The air will clear before tho mascu line mind somewhat when men under stand that tho woman movement is a wider and deeper matter than the wo man suffrage movement. Most men and many women confound them. Tho noisy agitation of tho suffra egette is really an embarrassment to those profound exponents of feminism who fear the neglect of tho larger causes of the female advance through overemphasis on ono of its phases. Some pronounced feminists have ven tured to question whether the agitation for votes for women should not be post poned until the woman movement shall have reached its second stage. The real movement, however, will not suffer serious arrest, through the excessive suffrngism of tho hour. It will rather bo promoted h"y the divi sions it is provoking in the ranks of tho women themselves. The women who are zealously organ ized against votes for women are mere ly feminists in contra action and their influence is manifestly stimulating to the consciousness of female selfhood, which is the mainspring of the woman movement. When the opportunity of tho ballot is accorded to women, as it will be. tho main object of their movement will only he in process of achievement. What women really desire is the remov al of the arbitrary fixouioss of wo man's sphere. The protest Is not against tho nn kindness of man, but against the as sumption thnl she is ordained to he a creature of patronage. Tt is not against a rough amb-crucl boss she re volts, but against the Idea of having a boss at nil. The woman movement aims for the n-veling of the sexes. It is the uprising of personality. It j, ,), ohnlU-nRO of a benevolent despotism. The situation of woman as to com fort is fair enough. It i, tn(, attitude of the socin) mind which regards her i a sexual son equal that is the trouble. MMMMMttlW AD -MAN'S TALKS HftHtlHIIHtHttMtTtMlttttltHtttmHtttllW A word to the merchant who doesn't advertise: Not the least important considera tion in this discussion of advertising is "the other fellow," who advertises in the Capital Journal all the year around. You will find him regularly, keeping in close touch with its readers, who combine to give the Capital Journal the largest circulation of any paper published in Oregon, outside of I'ort land. This circulation represents a great proportion of the real buying power of Sulem and surrounding terri tory, and merchants and manufacturers who cultivate this clientele regularly benefit by the influence of their ad vertising in hundreds of prosperous families who read the Capital Journal continuously. A calculating merchant locates his store in a block where his particular trade is known to do its buying. Newspaper advertising is a store in itself. It displays descriptions of many lines of merchandise, and is: ronized by hundreds of distrain men and women who have Itir. look to it for buying advanlip These advantages are not iln'i braced in "price."
