evacuation of Cuba will be delayed be-
yond the period originally fixed by the
administration. This will follow en-
tirely without reference to anything
that has occurred in Paris before the
peace commission. The war depart
ment has satisfied itself that the task
imposed upon the Spanish authorities
to remove 10000 soldiers, was beyond
the ability of the Spaniards. 1t IS
hardly deemed prudent, to undertake
to assume charge of the municipal af-
fairs of Havana SO long as the city
contains strong garrison of Spanish
troops and it is felt that law and or
der could be better maintained in such
centers by allowing them to remain
under Spanish jurisdiction until they
are evacuated by the troops and re-
occupied by the United States troops.
1T is not to be understood from this,
however. that the American military
commission is in any sense abating
the pressure to secure the evacuation
of the island and the REIMBURSEMENT
of Spanish sovereignty.

Manitoban Cure for Drunkenness

Manftoban Cure for Drunkenness.
"They have very effective way of
putting the brakes on inebriates up in
Manitoba" said Mr.. o. A. Bemis Of
Minnesota at the Ebbitt
when a man has been convicted
twice or thrice for drunkenness in the
local police courts, he is sentenced to
wear a brass collar, which is a plain
tip to saloon-keepers that he is a per-
son to whom it is forbidden to sell
any intoxicating beverages. No man
with this badge Of disgrace can get a
drink anywhere, for the law is strict
ay respected. The result is that in
many cases an entire cure is effected
in the individual. Whenever the au-
thorities think that the collar penalty
has been endured long enough the col
lar comes off and the citizen is at lib
erty to get a drink"

THE BlcYcLIsT's HUMP.
Assumes This Position in Blind Obedience
to Law of the Lungs.

Assumes This Position in Blind Obedience
to Law of the Lungs.
! 1t has been generally believed that
fast bicycle riders lower their heads
and bend their bodies to reduce the
wind resistance of the body, but now
comes French scientist who says that
this belief is wrong.
Dr. Eifer, well known in the medical
world of France, has been experiment.
ing with cycle riders to discover the
reason for the hump-backed scorcher.
He finds it in blind obedience to the
law that the lungs seek to draw in air
: with the greatest ease. In fast riding
the air assumes new relation to the
lungs and thu human body adopts a
new position ~ the saddle. This posi-
ton is. considering the new work, the
only rational one
Dr. Eifer says a profound savant has
declared that "a horse runs with his
legs and gallops with his lungs" This
proposition is equally true for runners
and cyclists. An inexperienced runner
stops not by reason of fatigue but be-
cause of being "winded" If breathing
is less rapid on the wheel it constitutes
none the less an obstacle. The sue
cessful cycle crack must learn to
breathe slowly and deeply to oxygenize
his blood, and must avoid being sur
prised into quick, jerky breaths, which
prevent the play of the lungs. This is
the primary cause of a Stitch in the
side" In the middle-distance race
with Starbuck at Manhattan Beach last
summer Fred Titus before he reached
the tenth mile suddenly clapped his
hand to his side and had to leave the
track. Thoughtless persons Kissed him.
According to DR.. Eifer the fault was
not in Tituss spirit, but in his way of
breathing. He dashed off from the
start, and wise people knew that
STARS" time would come. Titus could
be seen Swallowing" the air. No man
who does that can get his second wind,
and no man can win long, we'll con-
DR.. Eifer says he has lived among the
Indians and has never seen one finish
breathless. The Indian may finish
tired, but it will be his muscles, not his
lungs, that give out.
DR.. Eifer shows that the principal
obstacle to respiration is speed, which
is greater with the cyclist than with the
runner So, not only is nasal breath
ing recommended, but the inclinay0n
of the head is best adapted to salts
factory breathing. Nose breathing is
from the bottom to the top, while
mouth breathing is the contrary. So
the roof of the nose acts as wind
break. When the eyclist, as speed in
|creases, lowers his head, the head
forms shield against which the shafts
of air beat harmlessly.
AS speed gets greater the cyclist
lowers his head still more, until at his
maximum of effort his nose is almost
parallel with the course. The tendency
to lower the head to influence breath
ing is unconsciously shown by any Pc
destrian who faces a stiff wind.
