SWIMMING EXPERT ARRIVES 111 CITY

H. H. Corsan of Toronto, to Give Instructions at the Y. M. C. A. t who me nope 01 renv.nB Bw,mmnB , a sport in this community and j teaching a large number of business ( men how to get health and pleasure from the natatorial art, Hebden II. Corsan, of Toronto, Canada, arrived in this city Sunday night to open a week's campaign in the Y. M. C. A. pool. Classes in swimming will be tailed late Monday afternoon, and the association officials expect the affair to be one of the features of the winter activities. Corsan is confident of his ability to teach any man the rudiments of swimming in the time allowed, adding that one could be a reasonably good swimmer two weeks sifter the conclusion of the instruction. The art of swimming, according to the visiting expert, is to get the body through as smail a hole in the water ts possible. For this reason, Corsan at discarded the breast stroke, which 'requires a hole three times the length of the body, and begins with the Aus'tralian crawl stroke. In teaching beginners, Corsan says he works until they become confident enough to stretch out flat on water wings, for bis great trouble with novices is that they try to double up and keep their beads way out of the water. He warns prospective members of his classes gainst thinking that arm and leg urork Is the principal part of his course. He pays little attention to this, as he belives that rhythmic breathing Is the hardest and at the uw time, the most essential work in learning to swim. Corsan admits he wjll not try to make finished swimmers of the men in his elementary classes, as his purpose is only to instruct them in the rudiments. The Canadian asserts that in the three lessons he will teach every member of the class, regardless of the fear of Water, poor physical condition, or any other handicap, how to swim across the pool, and claims that the men will be able to swim up and down the entire length with two or three additional practices. Corsan Is a great believer in warm wator for swimming. Consequently he will see that the tank is kept well beated during his lessons. NOTICE DRUIDS! All members of Richmond Grove of Druids are requested to meet at the hall at 7 o'clock tonight to attend the funeral of Brother Henry Nobbe. DESIRE WM, SUNDAY To Conduct Local in 1914. Revival In an effort ,to bring "Billy" Sunday, the evangelist, to Richmond at his rst open date, probably some time In the year 1914, a meeting of laymen araa IiaM Onnrlav a f t nrnAAn in ifiA lsv csl Y. M. C. A. After a long discusslon the meeting determined to refer the matter to Individual churches for consideration. According to the plan adopted Sunday the executive boards of all the religious organizations in Richmond will meet, separately, at once to make a decision, and will report to the laymen's committee soon. Then another general meeting will be held, and If the churches unite in promising to co-operate with the evangelist, the next meeting will doubtless appoint a committee to bring Rev. Sunday here as soon as possible. The ministerial association has already gone on record as approving the proposition, but decided not to sign a contract with him until laymen had formally voted in favor of having him come. The only objection to his coming, raised as yet, is that his calendar Is full for the next two and one-half years. COLONIALS AT TOP Jn the City Bowling League Race.

Women Sufferers of Obesity or Thinness Will Find Swimming a Health Benefit

BY H. H. CORSAN. (Swimming Expert at Local Y. M. C. A. This Week.) There is no department of recreating pastimes in which there in such a thorough abandon as in the sport n iwimmlnv Wlton the Rllhipft enwater at once the nervou3 ByBtem recognizes the even pressure on every part of the skin surface exerted by the softest substance in the world water ana in mis Dea one will forget their troubles, both physical and mental. As an auxiliary to the water bath we have the sun bath, not to speak of the freedom of motion that the body experiences when clothed only in a bathing suit. Here a man at once forgets his business pressures, his family troubles or the fact that he has a hard time to keep out of the lunatic asylum or the hospital. Mother Nature Is Kind. Great Mother Nature is, indeed, a jealous spirit, and will permit no other systems than her own to perform the healing art; and great, indeed, is the reward meted out to those who Btudy her laws. Take the young girl who swims through her girlhood into young womanhood, and thence to motherhood into old age. You will find her a most vigorous person a creature of health, indeed. Swim to health Is my advice to American women who have pelvic troubles. And all men who are truly interested in the conservation of the American race should encourage women and girls to swim in order to cultivate a living body full of power that the children who follow us may be beautiful, strong and pure. The greatest blessing that nature can bestow on a woman is to make her beautiful and attractive, and none know this so well as those unfortunate women who are ugly and repulsive. Now the point is how can swimming restore color to the cheeks of the pale woman? The three chief organs in the body concerned in promoting a rosy color to the cheeks are the heart the liver and the lungs. The heart is rested and strengthened by the body being on the horizontal, as it is much easier to pump the blood along a level course than up hill, and the heart being a continual motion strain and strengthened by rest. Thus swimming is a very decided heart strengthener. Yet, strange to say, people with weak hearts are forbidden to swim by doctors. This is because doctors are under the delusion that straining and swimming are synonomou3 term. (See my other articles for explanation of this error.) After days spent in swimming in warm, pleasant wator the heart acquires a strength it never bofore knew and is enabled to send the blood to the face with force. Aids the Liver Action. We all know the liver to be a big sieve which, without any muscular power of Its own, strains the impurities from the blood, which is forced through it by heart action. When the liver is clogged poisons remain in the system that produce very morbid effects on the brain. The liver is greatly assisted in its function by the peculiar eel or snake-like motions of the trunk whon swimming, thus promoting action in that organ that enables the stomach and bowels in !u n to perfor,m. the,r ??rT! tlons. Te result is pure blood sent to the cheeks, while the eyes sparkle with responsive life and the subject Is happy, though poor. See the happy little boy who has nothing to do but swim. I have taught thousands of boys who entered the water for the first time under my tuition and the approach of the swim caused them to shout and yell with joy at the very thought of the motion of swimming long before they get Into the water, and it is the same with the boy who can swim, for he knows much better the joys that he will experience by the motions of swimming and he hallos to the full power of his lungs. Of course this will help the lungs by emptying all the bad air from the very bottom of them or women it would be very undignified and out of the place to do as boys do, even though it prevented them from dying of tuberculosis. Is Good For the Lungs. Thus when I say swimming is the best of all exercises for strengthening the lungs, 1 refer to the shoulder motions peculiar to swimming, the crawl trudgeon or alternate overarm strokes on back as well as the fact that mere than half the art of swimming is deep breathing. Of course, in an illventilated natatoriura where the oxygen is deficient the lungs would be apt to receive as much harm as benefit. Now that we have a series of pleasj ant exercise such as swimming Is, ex . . , . . . .. , . . . ... ! - .i ur.B iW i me iuw buu aparnie iu me eye, let us 1 comJe its value to a work of art say diamonds on the person. Man can place diamonds on a woman to the value of a million dollars and dress to the value of a thousand, and it is the work of a man. But rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are the work of Mother Nature and as a rival of nature mere man is so insignificant as to be withoift comparison. The point ls ,et us be 8at,8fid wnn we are eu orrSwimming Rounds the Form. Some women are too thin, others are too fat, but the happy medium does not know how well off she is. Swimming will not alone correct both defects, but it will greatly aid the attenuated to round off as well as the sloppy, fat woman to become firmer and reduced. Bad habits, of course, must be corrected as, for instance, what good can swimming benefit a fat woman who is full of internal tumors when she will persist in eating cake made of half-rotten, pus-forming eggs, white flour and lard, etc? Swimming develops long, smooth muscles that cover the limbs symmetrically and gives grace to the form. This la

because swimming causes the muscles to play an dnot work. There is an unxeplainable relaxation In the motions of, a swimmer that one never sees In any other form of exercise. This may be because the weight of a 3wimmer and the weight of water is about the same; in that case specific gravit that tremendous force favors the swimmer. Aids Pelvic Troubles. The reauon why any and all forms of pelvic displacements are righted is

a very simple mechanical law that any ! one can understand when you consider j the tremendous advantage of having all the benefits of exercise while on l!?,"? of pelvic trouble is pain in the region, 1

and the pain may be posterior, anter- aldior, lateral or deep and diffused, but Jus before resuming the stand for this article is not supposed to go into cross-examination today, the little woeither the cause or sympotms of dis- raan sent a telegram to the millionaire ease, but to show the reader facts con- clothing manufacturer, who had taken nectec with the therapeutic value of her a little irl ot sixteen years, in the swimming! so I say to my readers ful1 beauty of her youth, from her that you can very quickly prove the ! home ln a little coal mining town and value of swimming in this connection j turned her into a woman of the world, by noting the very speedy relief from i ln message she begged the man pain in the pelvic region by engaging j wh, trtfd ner on PatQ which n-

in a daily swim for a few days. Thus the proof of the assertion I make can be easily tested. If a woman has the house habit, the street car habit, the elevator habit, and so habituates herself to an inactive physical life, she may experience the same trouble that a person will who never runs, but should suddenly take a violent run namely, a pain in the side, but the form of a pain in the head known as headache. This trouble will soon disappear upon continuing the swimming, for swimming does not cause the headache. The previous inactivity the cause. God is truth, and the devil is the spirit of error, and in the advice of the doctor to a rheumatic patient to keep out of the water, I say it is the devil's advice, for the unfortunate rheumatic creature is suffering from muscle rot, the result of inactivity. A rotting muscle forms poisons that, being retained in the system through inactivity, causes the pain known as rheumatism. Of course, in this matter I will not lay the entire blame on inactivity, as I believe that wrong diet has a great deal to do with causing rheumatism. But to restrict the rheumatic person by advising him not to swim is so absurd, as well as terrible in its results that I can only thi-ng of the kirg of evil spirits as the one who does the advising. WTho was it said that "cleanliness is next to Godliness?" I rather think that cleanliness and Godliness are inseparable. Water will enable a person who is internally filthy to be clean externally. Just look at those sallowfaced matrons with double chins and internal cancers, and so rusty in their movements that we wonder how they live at all. Now, the cause of their slow painful motion is internal filth, nothing more and nothing less, and not dampness. Makes for Internal Cleanliness. Swimming promotes internal cleanliness by causing, or rather, assisting, the peristaltic action of the bowels, and is there any more hygenic recreation than that which is a joy to all the muscles and viscera in the body? Take the man or woman who has sat at their desk for three hours, or a child at school who has been compelled to stay two hours on a chair and give them half an hour in a swimming pool, and notice how fresh and relieved they feel afterwards. At Monroe, La., where the Detroit baseball team trained, Paul Hale Bruske, the well-known sporting writer, informed me that the healthiest and most robust women in the United "States are to be found. The rerron is that they all, without any exception. wim, and swim almost every day, in their big city owned hot salt water swimming pool.

PARAMOUR TO COME On the Chicago Millionaire, Beautiful Mrs. Patterson Depends for Aid. (National News Association) DENVER, Col., Nov. 27. Crushed in spirit ana weaKenea in body by tne t terrible grilling and cold deliberate j ; painting of her character in dyes of ! deepest black by Prosecutor Horace j Benson, beautiful Gertrude Gibson Pat- j terson today cried out for the first i time in her trouble to Emil Strouss, i

nally led her to a prison cell and this dramatic battle which may send her to the gallows, to come to Denver immediately to testify in her behalf. She declared Strouss could break down the story of the prosecution that she was an inmate of a St. Louis resort, and that he could also clear her name of many other black charges made against her by the prosecutor. Mrs. Patterson weDt bitterly as she wrote the message. Throughout her ordeal she had sought to protect Strouss. It was only under the most biting cross-examination on the witness stand that she revealed Strouss as having led her astray and made her his mistress when she was still only a school girl in short dresses. Before she killed her husband she had fought repeatedly with Charles Patterson to prevent him from in any manner hurting Strouss or his pocketbook. When the shooting came and Mrs. Patterson was charged with the murder, Strouss went into hiding. He had paid the woman well for her "services," he told a friend, and did not leel called upon to do any more. Still the girl persisted in her efforts to protect him. Her final appeal to him for aid came only after many sleepless hours, caused by memories of the hours which she had spent under the lashing of the harsh voiced, merciless prosecutor. Her attorney also told her that the appearance of Strouss might do much toward saving her from the gallows. It then became a question of saving Strouss. Mrs. Patterson is still young and life is still sweet to her. Desire for life won, and she sent the appeal It was with trepidation Mrs. Patter son again took the stand today. "That mau Benson is murdering me by de grees," she declared. "I cannot stand the lies he hurls at me much longer." FIVE SUFFOCATED CHILDREN RESCUED (National News Association) CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Nearly a score of firemeu were injured and five children overcome by smoke, were rescued in an unconscious condition and members of twenty-five families were drivI ea to the street in a four-story factory building at 521-31 Vedder street, early today, which for a time threatened to wipe out the entire block. Additional calls for more fire fighting apparatus were sent in quick succession including a 4-11 alarm. The loss is estimated at $100,000. A Triumph of Imagination.
