Women Who Can't Exercise.

But no matter how fine q womani
costume may be, she must have ply.
steal health If she wishes to be attract
i've, and for this purpose exercise Is
necessary Many women are unable
to take exercise, however One of the
greatest obstacles in the way Of pre-
scribing exercise for the ailments OF
women is the fact that the constitu-
tons of many women are 80 weak
that an ordinary amount OF muscular
exercise tires them out and really does
them harm; and if I limit them TO
simple exercise like walking, my
treatment inspires no confidence.
Most people think that no good can be
derived from a muscular exercise that
does not consist in revolving around
a horizontal bar, swinging clubs about
the head, bounding over q tennis
lawn, or propelling a bicycle or tn.
cycle, and many women who try
this kind of thing and find it does
them harm give up exercise in despair
and take TO medicine for relief.
The fact is that a generation or two
of idleness or lack of proper physical
culture on the part Of their female an
cestors has caused the constitution of
a large proportion of the women OF
this generation to be unfit for physical
exertion of any sort but the most mod.
crate kind The present rage for out
door sports on the part Of young girls
is a welcome assurance that before
long the physique of the average wo'
man will attain something like itA
proper standard. 1t seems almost Inn
possible. however, to persuade consti
tutionally weak woman to take regu'
larlv that slight amount of exercise
which she can stand without doing hel
harm. 1t seems SO trifilng that she
has no faith in it---Physician In New

SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL
A New Fuel Adapted for Domestic ~ Well
As Manufacturing Purposes

A New Fuel Adapted for Domestic ~ Well
As Manufacturing Purposes
Petrole is the name given to a man.
ufactured substitute for coal, made by
firm in Minneapolis. and is the direct
outcome o! the scarcity of fuel which
has retarded the birth of manufacture
ing industries in that city and in fact
the whole Northwest. 1t is made
from saw-dust, the residuum OF crude
petroleum, and a number OF other in
gradients which are not made known
bv the inventors. The residuum Of
petroleum is mixed with the other ma
terial. and is heated in large sheet
iron tank TO four hundred degrees Fab.
1t is then run into a mixing machine
where il is thoroughly mixed with tho
sawdust. and is afterwari carried by
means of a chute to heavy press,
where it is subject to pressure Of
one thousand pounds to the square
inch. and nodded into blocks ten inches
long, four inches wide and three
inches thick 1t is claimed for this
new fuel, which has been successfully
tested, that it is cheaper, and its re-
suits as satisfactory in every way as
coal. Arrangements are being per-
fected in Minneapolis for its manu-
facture on large scale, and the right
TO use the invention has already been
sold in a number of States. 1t is as well
adapted for domestic as for manufact-

Quack Grass.

Farmers who have quack grass grow
ing on their land have supposed that they
could not get rid of it, but John Chan
dler has found that it can be done. He
says that after harvest two years ago he
plowed up piece of land thick with
quack grass, taking great pains to have
the burrows lay down smooth. In the
fall he cross plowed and drag ged it with
thereby bringing all the roots to the top
of the ground; no common drag being
able to do this properly. In the follow
ing spring he planted the land to corn
and received as good crop as he did
from any other piece of land.

all directions we hear reports of the most

have been disappointment. as it is well

anything of the kind without giving the
very best.
We have learned that committee
from the Band of Hope is making prepa.
rations to erect drinking fountain in
some suitable place on Main street in the
near future. 1t will fill long felt want
and Will prove benefit to the city, and
