We had mice in our basement, so
I went to get some poison, but the tamper-
resistant seal had been broken. I didn’t
know if I should buy it; someone might have
slipped some aspirin in there. - Rita Rudner

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Thief Got Seven Years.
Man Who Stole Mr. Sherrill’s
Horses Got a Long Sentence at Cassville
The man giving his name as John Brown,
who stole Riley Sherrill’s team of horses from his
farm a short distance east of Carthage last spring was
sentenced a few days ago by a jury in circuit court at
Cassville to seven years in the penitentiary.
Brown got as far as the Arkansas line
with the two horses. When captured he had the team with
him. The Barry county officers who made the arrest, held
him under a charge of bringing stolen property into the
county, and on this information he was convicted. Mr.
Sherrill got his horses back.
Dwelling Nearing Completion.
The new dwelling being erected by R.E.
St. Clair on McGregor street south of Cedar is nearly
ready for occupancy. The plasterers have finished and the
painters have on the first coat of paint.

Talkin'
Mornin
I don’t know ‘bout most band directors,
but the ones that taught when I was in school had
a tough job.Onea my
first band teachers was a little too easily
provoked at times. Ever’once in a while some
of the guys in the band would play outa tune or
the drum section would drag the beat down a
little. The student honors went to the one who
could get the teacher to break his baton.
Another teacher after him was
almost the opposite. He hardly ever showed his
anger and always tried ta talk kids into
doin’ what they should.
But even with all the
goofin’ off durin’ practice, these
teachers managed to get us to perform a pretty
good tune and got most of us to march a pretty
straight line.
‘Cept for those two
sisters who twirled. They were never in step.
This is some fact, but mostly,

To
Your Good Health
by Paul G. Donohue, M.D.Exercising During
Pregnancy
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am 27 and have been physically active all my
life. I am pregnant and wonder if I can continue
to be active during my pregnancy. My mother
insists I should do nothing. She says exercise
harms the fetus. Is that so? — R.K.
ANSWER: The only
one who can give a woman the definite answer for
the safety of exercise during pregnancy is her
doctor. However, the answer for most women is:
Yes, exercise is not only safe during pregnancy
— it is encouraged. That’s especially
true for women who have been physically active
since long before their pregnancy.
Exercise during
pregnancy keeps a woman from gaining too much
weight. It helps keep blood sugar controlled.
Blood sugar often rises during pregnancy.
Exercise also maintains blood pressure in normal
ranges. It prevents muscles from getting flabby.
Most pregnant
women are able to perform 30 to 45 minutes of
moderate-intensity exercise daily. Good pregnancy
exercises include brisk walking, low-impact
aerobics, swimming and stationary biking. From
the fourth month of pregnancy on, women should
not exercise while lying on their backs. In that
position the enlarging uterus can obstruct the
flow of blood back to the heart.
Pregnant women
should not exercise to the point of exhaustion.
They should avoid becoming overheated and
dehydrated.
