Adjusting the saddle properly has
much to do with snle and comfortable
riding. The rule should be to keep the
saddle as near parallel to the bar as
possible. Avoid fitting, especially y
backward. Breathe through the nose ;
If forced to breathe through the
mouth, keep the tongue well pressed
against the upper front teeth-to
avoid inhalation of cold air, the force
of which should he broken by passing
through the nose aud warmed for in-
spration.
A sponge bath with tipid water and
friction is beneficial Immediately
after n ride in the open mir. Spong-
ing with diluted alcohol relieves the
muscular sorness and stiffness.
Ice cold drinks, pastry aud sweets
are not conducive TO health at any
time. A cyclist, after long spin,
needs food supply the tissue waste.
The hunger which ride in the park
provokes is such that one can and
should eat only health-producing
food. Hungry enough to eat any

fruit, sandwiches and milk. Tea made
from beat extract is stimulating and
refreshing.
Violent riding will produce heart
disease. Women suffering from
shortness of breath will fnd the ex-
ercise dangerous.
Only sponge and friction bath
should be taken immediately after
riding. The body is too fatigued; a
full plunge is then too exhausting.
With proper adjustment of the
saddle and attention to dress at sen
sonable times moderate cycling will
result in benefit to the majority OF
women. Philadelphia Times.

GREER COUNTY ALL RIGHT


CHICAGO, Illinois, April IT,
The publishers Of legal news in this
city are being fairly besieged with ap-
plications from lawyers and persons
interested in building and loan socle-
ties throughout the country for copies
of Judge Dunne's recent decision 10 the
Forester's building and loan associa-
tion against the bondsmen Of It's treas
urer.
The case Is one involving the liabil-
ity of the treasurers of such associa-
tions and the decision rendered this
week has attracted the attention of
building and loan association subscrib-
ers throughout the country because Of
the belief it has created that II the
decision, if upheld by the higher courts,
will remove in great measure the
responsibility OF the association's off,
GERS for the funds deposited in their
keeping.
In 1892, the treasurer OF the Fores-
ters' association deposited funds in a
private bank, an hour before the
bank closed its doors. The association
lost IS. 600 by the failure. and it
brought suit against the treasurer and
his bondsmen.
The bond provided for the safe keep
ing Of the funds by the treasurer and
guaranteed the turning over OF the
money to his successor iu Office The
evidence showed that the money was
DEP osited in the name Of the associa-
tion, but subject to the order Of its
treasurer. The court consequently
held that this was turning over, ac-
cording to the terms of the bond, ana
decided for the defendants.
