SOME POINTS FOR ATHLETES
HOW TO KEEP IN GOOD CONDITION.
Information From the Sporting World
Running Records Compared-Dr. Car
ver's Recent Challenger Budget
ofNotes on Various Matters.

"How about your diet?" a reporter of the st.
Louis Republic recently inquired Of the famous
Greco-Roman wrestler.
"Pm only a moderate cater" the wrestler
answered. 81 find that | can get along with
very little meat. Some athletes and fighters
think they must have a great deal of meat to
keep up their strength, but that's a mistake,
think, and they miure their stomachs by it.
eat a great deal OF cracked wheat and foods Of
that kind. Then live in the open air as much
as possible. That 1 find, is one of the most es-
sential things TO keep up a mans vitality We
have TO wrestle in badly ventilated theaters,
where all the life is taken out Of the air by the
gas, and this exhausts us more than the muscu.
lar exertion. When l feel too tired to walk
after performance get into carriage and
drive until feel thoroughly rested.
another very important point ] have
found, Is never to 90 to bed feeling worried or
restless. The worst thing in the world for
mans nerves and heart is to lie in bed tossing
and tumbling and wearing himself out trying
to force himself to sleep. This. if kept up for
little while, viii be followed by nervous
prostration, night sweats and general break
down OF the system. When feel restless and
worried, no matter how late It may be. never
go to bed. 1 take walk or q drive and when
the reStesSneSs leaves me and my mind gets as
tried rs my body, 20 to bed and sleep and
wake up refreshed in the morning.
Il have come TO the conclusion" Mr.. Null
doom continued, "that one OF the worst habits
man or a boy, who wants to do anything in
athletics, can have is that of smoking cigar
cites. Ii has been my observation in gymnas-
IumS that garettc-smoking Is worse than any
other form of dissipation. \ man may smoke
cigarettes for years and never find that it in
iUres him as long rs he is not called on for hard
work OF any kind; but let him 60 into training
or undertake violent exercise and he viii find
that all his Old-time endurance is lost. The
heart has become weakened and the wind is
gone"
But why should cigarette-smoking be so
much worse than the use OF tobacco in other
waysP inquired the reporter
We'll, the trouble seems TO be that when a
man smokes cigarettes they are so mild and light
he doesn't discover when he has had enough.as
he would If he smoked pipe or cigar. lisa
curious thing, too" the wrestler continued,
that cigarette smokers, when they want to 60
into training, find il much harder 10 stop
smoking than those who smoke pipes or cigars.
/ know a number OF cases in my gymnasium
experience in New York where fellows going
into training for athletic contests had to give
up, beeaue they couldn't stop the of cigar
cites. | think it is the worst habit a boy can
contract and believe the law will some day
have TO prohibit cigarettes entirely"

For Railroad Men.

One OF the most interesting features of
Christian service in this country is the
work of the railroad branch of the Young
Mems christian association, which is now
located and in active operation at ninety
three important railroad centers in the
United States and Canada. The work has
enlisted the sympathy of railroad mana
gers to a remarkable degree, and in many
cases the corporations contribute largely to
the support of the work, furnishing rooms
and equipment, and paying the salaries of
secretaries from their regular payroll.
The physical, intellectual and moral inter-
ests OF the railroad employees are thus
we'll provided for, and the result is, as
managers frequently testify, a more hearty
and honest service in the shops and on
the trains.

Butter That VIII Not Come.
HOard's Dairyman.

Here is word to those who churn all
day to get butter and fail-in the fall and
winter, | mean, Do not let the cream
stand over fortv-eight hours before skim
ming. Then do not let the cream stand
over two days before souring. If you have
q quart that is acid it helps to sour the
rest. l have experimental, and believe
that milk or cream remaining too long
before souring develops the principle an
tagonistic to butter and is the cause of
long churning The cream from one pan
that has stood until it tastes badly and is
not acid will ruin large jar Of butter.

Sly Cupid one day, as the ehroniclers say,
Grew sick of his hOmely den,
And equipping himself, the sportive elf
Set out for the haunts OF men.
And his object there, old legends declare,
Was TO war upon human kind;
To rob them Of sight in broad daylight,
For his votaries all were blind.
His journey led by patients bed
ana ne blinded him with shot;
When the eyeless trunk on the rickety bunk
was much by inventors sought
He met maid in a rustic plaid
When posing hi. dart again.
He treated the quick as he served the sick,
And the maiden became insane
Then in he fell with an infdel
Who scOiled at things above;
W hen he blinded him, as his sight grew dim,
lie as gentle became as q dove.
He turned about, met a soldier stout
And, including him in his plans,
50 his sight destroyed that he since employed
y tinkering old wives plans.
In pressing down a cathedral town
The minister stood in the porch,
Whom he, on the sly, deprived Of an eye,
And changed him into a church.
At ease in an inn, where he thought it no sin
To stop for a quiet lunch;

VERY STRANGE DISEASE
Affiieting the People of Webster County,
Kentucky, With Fatal Results.

Kentucky, With Fatal Results.
MARION, KY, Feb. 2.-RepOrts come from
Webster county of strange and fatal disease.
Doctors have been unable to do anything for
the afflicted and have never agreed among
themselves as to what the disease is. 1t first
made Its appearance in the neighborhood of
Yates saw mill, between two creeks, into which
for q number of years slabs and other refuse
have been cast and allowed to decay, thus
poisoning the atmosphere for a considerable
distance around. This disease has spread to
adjoining neichborhoods, until up to
Jan. % several persons, mostly chill
dren, have died. One family lost seven out of
its nine members. Only one person has recov-
ered or thought to be recovering, and he is
said to be blind. The rest have all died, death
usually occurring from six to twelve hours
after the attack, and in many cases before
physician could be procured Physicians first
pronounced it eerebro spinal meningitis, but
later on they called it spotted fever, the vic
tins rapidly turning black after death. Three
physicians, il is said, have fled the neighbor-
hood, not being able 10 be of any service, and
not wishing TO ieopardize their lives without
hone of doing good.

Times change and men and boys change
with them, butth boyssti continue to imi-
tate the ways of the men as closely as they
can. Tommy and Little Pete belong to the
Kukuana club, an apparently flourishing
company of small boys, which necessitates
a great deal of begging from parents to
keep up the weekly financial requirements
of the organization. Rather tired of the
drain of pennies for this purpose, Pete's
father asked him one morning:
"What do you do at the Kukuana club,
any way?''

HOW About the CLERKS ONCE?

Another rumor which was given considerable
credenee by those well informed as to the re-
suit of the investigations thus far made into the
condition of affairs in the county clerks Office,
was that there is a tremendous deficit in the
trust funds held by Sullivan. One gentleman
said that the amount was something far larger
than had been suspected by anybody. Another
said that it would be much nearer $4,000 than
$4,000, and intimated that it would be nearer
because il would be way above the former
figures. and might reach 100000.

Let Jolly Fat Men Run.

One thing must be settled in the next
week. No Fourth of July celebration is
complete without a fat mans race, and
Bismarck cannot fail on this glorious and
auspicious occasion to permit so important
al part of the celebration to be omitted. No
city in the northwest has better material,
and it is the opinion that more money will
be wagered on fat mans race than on
any other contest on the programme. Sam
Whitney is already in training, and Joseph
Fox has been seen coming over the brow
Of the hill between the city and his resi-
dence with the speed and puffs of mo-
gul engine. 1t was rumored that Joe
would not run unless Ex Governor Ord
way consented to enter the race, but it is
believed that the governor has been barred
because of his we'll known record as a
runner-One of his hackers averring that
he never runs but he wins. Another of
the lithesome youths who enter the race is
the unapproachable sprinter, Jack Wald.

rods of girth furnish sufficient guarantee
of success. Thos. Richards, the hearty
ruralist, so we'll known among the mem

been given few trial heats of late, and al
though his running record has not been
made, he has proved himself a "trotter" of
remarkable speed and endurance.
