A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another
year, when a review is made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with life's problem
and figure for themselves the profit
or loss on the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain
be great, it would not be surprising
If it suddenly dawns upon many
that good health has been greatly
impoverished by the low condition
of the blood. 1t is in this state
that the Tactic acid in the vital fuic
attacks the flbrous tissues, particu'
larly the joints, making known the
local manifestations of rheumatism
Thousands of people have found IL
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier, a positive and permanent
cure for rheumatism.

Dancing by the Mile.

A contemporary in an adjoining
state, speaks of dancing as follows,
which accounts for its injurious et-
fects-upon young ladies';
An average waltz takes over
three-quarters of a mile, a square
dance makes you cover half a mile,
and a gallop equals a good mile.
Count up for yourself how much the
girl with a well filled program tray-
erses in an evening. Twenty dances
are the average, you know. OF
these about twelve are waltzes.
These at once are nine miles. Three
gallcps and she has done twelve
miles. Five other dances at a halt
mile apiece bring her to fifteen miles,
to say nothing of the intermission
stroll and the trips to the dressing
room to reuoyate her gown and
complexion.

be filed to-day. The incorporators are as
follows: Adolph Spreckels, Edward Cor
rigan, Henry Croker, w. S. Leak and s.
w. Androus. This organization is the
outgrowth OF the internal dissension that
has existed during the present race meet
| ing and will prove most formidable oppo-
nent to the present California Jockey Club.
The land for the new track was purchased
one year ago, but up to the present time no
improvements have been made on it. Now,
however, the plans for a modern race
track in every particular have been sub
mitted, and work will be begun with few
days.
The grand stand, which will be one of
the finest in the country, will be $50 feet
long and rs feet deep, in the center of
which will be music-stand modelled some
thing after the present park music-stand.
The lawns and other equipments will be
styled very much after the Morris park
racetrack. The stables will be located on
the backstretch, far away from the grand
stands. Trees will be set out to shut off
the cold winds, and with beautiful lawns
and fountains its projectors intend that it
shall be second to no racetrack in the
country.
In turf circles it is whispered that the
popular millionaire horseman, Adolph
Spreckels, will probably be president of
the new racing institution and Henry
Croker secretary. A much wiser selection
could scarcely be made, for both of the
gentlemen named are popular with all
classes OF horsemen and ardent supporters
OF all matters appertaining to the turf.

was very much in favor of military train
ing for boys, for it instilled in them patriot
ism and reverence for the flag, which in
many instances has not been treated with
proper respect. The knowledge that our
boys were being trained as soldiers would
gain for our country proper respect.
Mrs. Smith briefly replied that there was
but one patriotism, and that was the sense
of Justice which man should deal out to
man.
The resolution was then on motion
adopted by large majority and the an
nouncement made that Mrs. Haskell will
at future meeting, answer Mrs. Smith
and show why the boys of our public
schools should receive a military training
One lady, whose name was not announced
said she supported Mrs. Smiths views and
wanted to know why the church did not
practice what it preached. She said that
while ministers taught the boys to love
their enemies at the same time they taught
them the art of war that they might slaugh-
ter right and left.
A number of persons in the audience in
three-minute talks gave their ideas for or
against military training.
