LEARN TO WALK AND BREATHE' CORRECTLY (13y Josephine Huddleston) Walking for beauty's sake does not mean merely placing one foot ahead of the other and moving the body along, There are various ways of walking correctly, but only when proper clothing, correct breathing and a rythntic step are combined is the full benefit derived. One of the surest and gtticlest ways to derive a clear skitis a brisk, two- mile walk each day, Not .only does it act as a tonic to the system, stim- ulating circulation which. ' eliminates sluggishness, but it .brings nature's own tint to the cheeks and a sparkle to the eyes. Loose, comfortable clothing, IOW-- heeled ow-Heeled shoes and a quick step that in- vigorates the body are far more im- portant than whether the weight of. the body falls first on the balls o:f the'. feet or on the heels. To breathe correctly, one must stand 'correctly, so io-clay I'm going to combine correct breathing, stand- ing. and walking so that all three may be used together. To stand correctly the heels should be about three inches apart, with the toes •pointing straight ahead. .The torso is then pulled up to its full height. During this, action, the mus-. cies must not be tensed, but stretched slowly so that wizen the body has arrived at its full height the shoulders are pushed back and dropped slightly the shoulder blades lie .flat across the back, the spinal column is in its pro' per alignment, the head is held up with the chin thrust out just a bit, the arms hang relaxed at the sides and the chest is raised, not pushed out. Take this t'osition, and then, before going out on the walk, practice cor- rect breathing for a few moments, so that once the walk is started you have a thorough knowledge of the proper procedure. Stand before an open window and inhale deeply through the nostrils; keeping the lips closed." When the lungs are filled with fresh air, exhale by forcing the air out through;:the ;mouth using' suf- ficient force to tense or contract the abdominal . muscles without 'any ef- fort except that expended for exhala- tion. Inhale and exhale twenty-five times before going into the open. And now we are ready for. correct walking—Take the standing postion described and starting with the right foot, swing the limb forward from the How Ca There are 252 millionaires in Canada today, • but not one of, thea.. is 'a tele- phone millionaire.

WHAT TO EAT (By Marjorie .charts) Wliat to eat.-is'.a ciuestion often asked by the housewife. As. a rule men and the older children, are not fussy about what they eat as long as plenty of something which smells good:and.looks palatable is put be- fore them: But the wise housewife will not be satisfied with the ease with. Which lct family may be satis- fied. -.She. will consider the nourish ing 'gtialities' of the food which she sets before them. One' may eat and still be virtually Starved, you know. That is, One may fill the stomach with food that lacks the necessary elements for nourish- ment and while the appetite may be satisfied the. body cells will get no nourishment. The, results are ,poor health` and poor body protection a- gainst disease. This malnutrition is. the cause of the spread of contagious disease because the body of, the un- dernourished has poor resistance to sickness, This may be, avoided by giving the family seasonable food in the right quantity and of the right quality. ,For example, new home grown cabbage: has most .of the 'vitamins necessary for good nourishment. It is good. roughage and,. with corned beef, new peas and picked new beets makes a delicious meal. For dessert fresh fruit is ideal because fruits contain vitamins and essential Minerals.'. It is just as easy and just as cheap to give the family the right food as the wrong and the resulting health appetite and happiness of the mem- bers are really worth while. ee FOR 'VARIETY IN CUSTARD PIE (1) Cocoanut may be sprinkled over the top or 'one-half cup o:f chop- ped dates, figs or raisins may be add- ed to the filling. (2) Top with whipped cream or ice cream and garnish with red cherries. • (8) Dark brown sugar may he used for a little change in flavor.. (4) The crust for a custard pie should be a little thicker than for other pies 'so the filling will not run through. (5) A deep pan is advised for hold- ing tlie pie.

Remarkable discoveries, throwing new light an the conditions of lite in B.ritatit in /Ionian, times are reported trout various parts :of the country, They foclude, says an ar fele in the London Daily Chronicle, relies of the Cave -dwellers of 12,000 yours ago discovered in Gough's Cave, Cheddar; a section of a fossilized submarine forest diselesed at Bude; Roxnazi, Sacrificial Altar and dungeon un- earthed at :Caerleon, The discoveries at Cheddar reveal that a cultured, artistic people lived in .C'ough's .Cave, and ran a factory for : making finely -worked ' lniple•; .. ments, ata time when England is supposed to have been overrun by savages. Striking revelations of the lives and habits of the early men of Wes- sex are expected in the near future, following scientific examination of remarkable cave wen remains recent- ly : discovered in G.ougii's Cave, Cheddar. Sir'Arthux.Keith, who has examin- ed some of the remains, states tha: the : discovery is "a very important one." "Fragmentary skulls T have exam- ined," he said, "are a period of about 12,000 years ago. "The remains can bp associated with the Cromagnon people who liv- ed in caves in the south of France at that time." Gough's Cave was discovered near- ly thirty'years ago by tte Gough bro- thers, of Cheddar, who leased it from the landowners and opened it to the. public. It became a famous show cave, and the tourist traffic grew to suchan extent that le was necessary to widen the entrance. It was decided to carry out the work of • excavation with' scientific care, and the floor of the vestibule of the cave was stripped . off, It con- sisted of limestone blocks, red earth and pebbles to a depth of fourteen feet. Thousands of prehistoric remains were found, ranging from skull frag- ments to flint lakes, The most' mysterious thing is a baton, .which , some experts consider may be the ceremonial wand of a cave magician, It was used, perhaps, to wave a spell Pe over the wild deer when tee cave man set out to hunt it. This baton is made from a short length of smooth reindeer antler. It bears marks and perforations, and is similar to one found in the case just before the war. The same kind of rod has been found in Continental eaves, and sci- entists have been mystified by them. While some associate them with magic, otners think they were used for straightening arrows. Another • striking d"(iscovery in Gough's Cave is a few fox's teeth per- forated for suspension. It is thought that these, too, are connected with magic and charms. Other animal remains are berm examined at the ].Natural History Mu- seum, Sonth Kensington. They re- veal the existenee of gigantic red deer and horses, oxen, reindeer, wolves, and possibly Arctic fox. Over 1,000 .dint implements and flakes were discovered, Some of these display eareful workmanship, while blocks of flint show that the work- men got their raw material from the chalk country, the nearest of which is 27 miles from Cheddar. The remains also include gravers, awls, scrapers, finely -worked knives, ribbon-like blades, aud geometrical points, More work of excavation is being planned for next spring. WILL RISE V.EBTICALLY.''—' R. C. Man' invents 'Plane That Can- not Crash. John E. Hess, a resident of New Westminster, B.C., is the inventor of a new machine which he claims com- bines the principles of the airplane and the helicopter and -will revolu- tionize aviation. He has secured Canadian patents and appliedfor pa- tent rights in all other countries. Hess claims for his machine that it can rise vertically from the ground, and descend vertically in a space less titan 30 feet square. Crashes,he says, will be impossible for it, and in addition to it being able to rise and descend like a helicopter, he says 3t can also take off and land in the same manner as an airplane. The inventor claims that it will lilt about tour times as much per horsepower as` an airplane, and estimates that a ma- chine weighing 560 pounds •oan as- cend vertically at a speed of two miles a minute. Lifting power is furnished by two propellers, made of duralumin, Fast- ened on vertical shafts. The machine is called the "helicoplane." First Wotid's Grain Congress The first World's Grain Congress to be held anywhere at any time will be staged in •Regina in 1032, from August let to 13th, This was decid- ed at a meeting, of various grain in- terests°held in Toronto the other day, including representatives of the Fed- eral and Provincial ,'Departments of Agriculture and presided over by Hon; W, 11.

A, town that is good-en00gb to 1iYe in, good emins;li tri provide your livelihood, provicle your children with schools and.rplaygrnnnds; a town whose citizens are broadminded enough to put up with. your peculiarities, is a town good enough for you to boost, If you can't ' boost, do the community at. Ieast one favor and move out, William Hale Thompson, Chicago's uiost cussed and discussed mayor, says ---"Throw away your l nez•atcbuy , ii:" Thats one thing Mr, Thompson says with which all the thinking people in his domain are In accord, It is good advice, however, to suggest that when tooting your horn to be sure you are in the right key. 'The man who always knocks and runs down the place where he lives.is not only a pest but a public liability. Towns should have a place to pen such people up—put them all together in o;tie place and let'them contaminate each other. The disease they have is worse than smallpox and is just as malicious and contagions. The knocker's creed is ---"`Whatever is—is punk." The easiest thing inthe world to do is knock, It doesn't take any brains and it is the easiest way to attract attention, Knocking is cheap—a cheap trick used only by cheap people, but expensive to them in the long run. Even a knocker hates a knocker and sooner or later, every- body shuns' him because they are afraid of hint: Usually the fellow who knocks his town, knocks his competitor and his neighbor and like a bee kills himself stinging others. Nobody ever got anywhere running other people down. The old saying that every knock is a boost is true only when the knocker is knocked out. If: any merchant ,needs to lose the patronage of his fellow • citizens it's the fellow who is forever knockingwho' decries and be- littles every attempt to do anything for, or make something of the town—who says that every fellow or organization that tries to do things has an axe to grind. On the other hand, the man who stops blaming conditions, government, prohibition and competition—the man who quits laying the blame of his own shortcomings onto his associates, friends and relatives and takes unto himself the blame for things not being as. he would like 'to have them :that man will hake advantage of every Opportunity to make'' his town a better place in which to live, work,. play and retake money. Every town has its faults, but every town has its good points. If a town has little to talk about, that is just that much more reason. to correct the faults, or at least keep still about them if a man hasn't enough gumption to do things' that will help correct. them.
