 LOOK toward a bedroom door when passing. Always knock at any private room door.
 LIVE for self alone; aim to help the needy and deserving and study the happiness of friends.
 BUILD up higher than your founda- ton will warrant. It's the tree with more branches than roots that is blown down.
 LET the baby flcep with its mouth open; place it on its side, smooth out It's ear and the creases in the pillow case, and sleep will be longer and swcetcr.

The report that Champion Walter San

and will probably not ride this summer
is apparently untrue. Mr.. Schafer, in
a letter to the Spaldings, states that
Sanger had a slight attack of the fever
and that he has entirely recovered.
Sanger will be among the other mem
bers of his team, scheduled to leave for
Birmingham. Ala, on April /. The
Spalding team will do all their prelimi-
work on the fast track at Bir-
mingham. The team members will then
work their way north and the finishing
touches will be put on at Springfield,
Mass. Titus and Cabanne are reported
to be enjoying the best health.
The latest convert to the bike is
