HOW TO BUILD UP MUSCLES pOSITION—Lying on back, feet flexed with heels 1 near seat. Arms folded across chest. Raise body up forming a bridge, resting on shoulders or top of head and feet. Lying on back, arms folded across chest, knees bent with heels close to your seat. You have seen pictures of wrestlers doing the bridge with their bodies raised off the mat and supported by the feet ° nd head. This is the exercise. You are lying on ; our back arms folded across chest, feet close to seat, now push your body up so that it rests on your upper back, and your lower back forming a perfect arch. Now on each attempt to raise up, try to go upward and backward a little farther until you are resting on top of your head, your feet on the floor helping in forming the perfect bridge. Now rest a little while, then take your bath and rub down with a course towel, or just a rub down will do. You can also add the paddling of the muscles and kneading and massaging of the fleshy and fatty parts. T vpULUm . Position—Lying on back, hands resting under ?egs; legs raised, heels together. ean legs over to left and right, swinging like pendulum. Place hands under legs, arms straight. Now raise legs and hold them there. Do not raise the back. Now lean both legs over toward the left as far as you can without falling over, then lean to the right. Continue this, like the swinging of a pendulum, left and right. Sixteen or more counts. --------o--------- REMEDY FOR HICCOUGHS The following remedy for hiccoughs is submitted by a writer in the Railway Clerk: “Place the four fingers of the left hand on the left side of the neck close to the cervical vertebrae or backbone or midway from base of head to bottom of neck. Press slightly inward and toward cervicals. Hold for a minute or so and repeat if necessary. Have the patient hiccough while holding such a position, and you can feel where the vertebrae action occurs. Then press on this spot particularly. The patient should help by holding the head or neck rigid, or put your right hand on the chin and thus hold the head rigid. In case of infants be very careful of pressure. Stand on the right side of the patient when doing this.” --------o--------- Small splinters may be removed from the flesh with a needle, and large splinters with a knifs blade, but the needle should first be passed ones or twice and the blade several times through a flame A SMILE OR TWO rT-rT-f rr -f rt Journeyman: “Didn’t I tell you to notice when the glue boiled over?” Apprentice: “I did; it was at 3 o’clock.” Visitor: “What’s up? Had a bad day?” Financier: “Yes, I've lost $5,000, and the worst of it is that $20 of it was my own money!” jn-l Oshkosh had gone to Europe for his health. “Hov did you lose your health?” he was asked. “Earning the money to take the trip,” he sadly replied. ■ “Are you sure your folks know I'm coming home to dinner with you?” “They ought to—they argued with me a whole hour over it.” Our Bobby was in a store with his mother when he was given candy by one of the clerks. “What must you say, Bobbie?” “Charge it,” he replied. Jones: “Sorry, old man, my hen got loose and scratched up your garden.” Smith: “That's all right; my dog ate your hen.” Jones: “Fine; I just ran over your dog and killed him.” Mother: “Eric, dear! Don’t go too far out in the water!” Eric: “But, look. Daddy’s out a long way.” Mother: “I know, dear, but your father has his life insured.” Officer (very angry): “Not a man in this division will be given liberty this afternoon.” Voice: “Give me liberty or give me death.” Officer: “Who said that?” Voice: “Patrick Henry.” Mother: “We are going up to uncle’s farm for a visit.” Daughter: “Has uncle any nice neighbors?” Mother: “Oh, yes; I’ve often heard him speak highly of the Holsteins and the Guernseys.” Forgetful Husband (to friend): “I want you to help me. I promised to meet my wife at one o’clock for luncheon, and I can’t remember where. Wofti you mind ringing her up at our house and asking her where I am likely to be about that time?” “Do you know Lincoln’s Gettysburg address?” “No. T didn’t know he lived there.” Fred: Your car is six months old and yet hasn’t a scratch on it. How do you manage to preserve its finish, (Id man ?” Ted: “Quito simple. I make it a rule always to park between new cars.” PAGE A

Tomorrow morning I’m sure it will be there again. To prevent a spider from spinning its web time after time in the same place one has to kill the spider.

HALLOWE’EN How many of you have ever stopped to think of the meaning and origination of Hallowe’en? Strange things may happen to us on the evening of October 31, so superstitious folks used to believe; for they thought that the witches then rode all around the country-side on broom-sticks with huge black cats, that elves played pranks on somber folks, and that fte future might be foretold by jumping over lighted candles, or by any one of a hundred magic rites. There are many other names for Hallowe’en. Some of them are All-hallows Day, Eve of All Saints, All Saints Day, and All Hallow-Even. These names are all relics of pagan superstition, and they have nothing whatever to do with the church festivals. In England and Scotland, Hallowe’en is especially chosen as the time for trying spells and divinations in love affairs. Many centuries ago, Hallowe’en was celebrated on May 1, and commemorates the earliest belief in a personal and all-powerful Evil One—the Chaldean’s Power of Darkness. We still retain many old customs from the ancients in regard to Hallowe’en. For example, we bob for apples, crack nuts, throw apple peelings over our shoulders, and look in a mirror by candlelight in a darkened room to find our “true love,’ as our pagan ancestors did centuries ago. At Hallowe’en time, many parties are given, and children masquerade as witches, clowns, and elves as the Romans did at their festivals. Young children take the part of the mischievous elves by ringing doorbells, soaping windows, and having a great time in general. Most of us will agree that for having fun, Hallowe’en is about the nicest holiday at the nicest time of year. STORIES ANI) POEMS Hallowe’en is a happy time So let’s warm up and write a rhyme. We’ll go in the attic and get some clothes, Then we’ll go out and scare little Rose. Come, come, Ned, and let’s run, Tonight is the time to have some fun. Then heme again, home again, ’tis time for bed, Home again, home again. Tommy and Ned. —Marian Reed, Sixth Grade. I was walking down the street When I soon decided to retreat, For I saw something all dressed in white. It looked awful on this dark night! With bats here and there above its head, If it ever caught me I’d surely be dead. All at once I saw a ghost’s head, I hurried home and went right to bed. —Floyd Whetmore, Sixth Grade. All the witches and the elves Nosily enjoy themselves On the eve of Hallowe’en. Bats and owls fly about, Frightened children cry and shout, On the eve of Hallowe’en. At parties, little girls and boys Make a lot of happy noise, On the eve of Hallowe’en. —Hershel Lurie, Sixth Grade. The witches and the goblins were sneaking all about, We put pumpkins in the window to put them all to rout. The owls were hooting and flying in the dark. The bats were flitting all around the park. We were soaping windows in the town, When the witches came swooping down. And frightened us all away, And spoiled our very happy day. —Leonora Decker, Sixth Grade. MY HALLOWE’EN STORY Once there was an old man who had a son. On a noisy day in October, the thirty-first, the boy said to his father, “May I go out today to see what I can do, father?’’ “What things would you do?’’ “Well,” said the boy, “I will take my lunch and after I eat it, I will hunt for a pumpkin.” That afternoon, he came home with a nice big pumpkin with a burning face. He had many other nice things in his basket for a party. It was the first Hallowe’en in the world. Here comes my party children now!—Joann Leemhuis, Third Grade. A GHOST Betty and Bobby were making a Jack-o-lantern. It was dark. “Bobby,” said Betty suddenly, “I forgot to take down the clothes.” “Go and take them down now,” said Bob. Betty went to take them down. She came running into the house. “Bobby,” she cried, “there’s a ghost outside.” Bobby picked up his courage and said, “I’ll come out with you.” When he went outside he saw the ghost too. He was a little frightened, but he didn’t want Betty to know it, so he went up to the ghost and said, “Hello.” The ghost said nothing. Bobby lifted up the hcod, and who was the ghost? No one but their own little goat.—Mary Elizabeth George. Fifth Grade. PAGE 5
