A SUMMER WITH A
 FOOTBALL PLAYER
The Noted Specialist J. M. Keys-Smith, M. D., Tells
 How the Players Get Ready for Fall

While the football players do not proper ly begin to train until September, still it is necessary to spend the summer in get ting ready to train. No man could step out of the regular routine of everyday life and suddenly live the life of an expert in train ing. The sudden stoppage of all the lux uries which people allow themselves would be too much for his constitution. He would be troubled with insomnia and would break down. The stopping of a bottle of beer at night has been known to give man in- somnia and the giving up of tobacco pro- duces it's i'll effects at first. It Is absolutely necessary to give up luxuries slowly If you are going to bed every night at F. you cannot suddenly make habit of retiring at 8. That Is the reason many would-be athletes break down early in their career. They leave off all the luxuries of life and begin its seventies without due prepara- ton.

rather three boys and one tomboy." Now as there are no girls in this family-only one lone tomboy-we have no doll house, for what do you want with a doll house when you have no dolls, only old Punch and Judy nine years old?
 But we have a play house where we keep the toys that kind friends and Santa Claus give us, and where we also keep the things we really play with-our books and games for rainy days, our bicycles, tricycles, fish ing tackle, rifles, balls and bats.
 Our names we will say are, Mary, John, Claude and William. For pets we have two St. Bernard dogs, Rex and Diana.
 We have a big sand bed that we play in, In summer and big tent, that, unlike oth- CT folks, we put up in winter. As 1t faces south, we can play in the sun and air all day and never feel Mir North Wind at all, though we can hear him whistle.
 Four hammock swung in the breeze rest our tired bodies occasionally, and big brick oven in the yard, Is where we some times cook picnic dinners-that the chickens eat.
 But best of all is the workshop. There we have long carpenters table, scroll saw, a grindstone, a cobbler's bench ana kit, and big chest of carpenters tools, from a rat-tail file to a saw There we make all sorts of things. The next best fun Is to climb to the tops of the highest trees and let the wind sway us back and forth.
 Our days are so full that when night comes we are glad to tumble in four little white iron beds and sleep, like the seven sleepers, all night long.

Mountain and Seashore

As the heated term approaches one be- gins to look over the advantages of the various resorts and make arrangements for the summer outing. In this connection the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, which connects with the Louisville and Nash vile and Queen. and Crescent railways, of- fers to those contemplating a summer vacation a greater variety of resorts than any other line. Both the mountain and sea shore resorts of the Virginias and the New England coast are reached by the famous F. F. V. limited of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway. The trains of this com pany, vestibuled throughout lighted by electricity, with observation and dining cars, are unsurpassed in modern equip ment For full information of resorts, rates, etc., apply Louisville and Nashville office, Morris avenue, or Queen and Cres- cent ticket office, or address c.

man would have had to burn that weight out of his system by exercise actually con- suming the carbon that had been created by over-indulgence.
 The safest way for a man who intends to get in training and who hopes at least to tone up his system is to begin with before- breakfast exercise. Be before he has bath ed he can exercise five minutes with his arms and by pumping. After his bath he can exercise three minutes more. The win dow should be wide open to give him plen- ty of good air for his lungs during this performance; and if these directions are followed he will have a fine appetite for breakfast.
 The breakfast meal can be taken with the family eating whatever is served. Do not, however, take more than one cup of cof- fee, and only one lump of sugar in the cup Butter can be eaten, and any other food that is liked. Only half a glass of water must be taken and no water for an hour

after breakfast.
 All meals must be taken with less than glass of fluid and after dinner there must be no nap
 A man can take twenty pounds off his weight In month by abstaining from wa ter and by taking no maps during the day After that comes exercise. Take all you can get of it; nothing heroic, but be always on the go. Join mountain climbing expe- dftions, play tennis and croquet Patronize the golf links, don't sit still Cultivate the habit of waiting on yourself, do your own stopping, don't ask people to pick up things for you By this very simple system I reduced an English nobleman last summer from 225 pounds to 175. He reduced so fast It alarmed me, but he kept his health we'll
 Ine football athletes in summer add a few laws to these Twice a day they take violent exercise in a gymnasium. They swing on the bar. leap the hurdles and sprint until they are in great glow. Then they are we'll rubbed down with warm wa ter and alcohol This assists the formation of muscle. The matter of going into train ing is not serious after that In training preparatory to a race, they are compelled to diet and all sweets are denied them. But later the Yale athletes are eating ice cream once day and cake at supper. They are also drinking ale.
 The man who wants to get in good con- dition must let strong stimulants alone He can drink bottle of beer with his dinner and one or two at night But this Is about the limit Wine will upset him and throw him back to where he began.
 Dyspepties can cure themselves by ex- ercise. The worse case of indigestion was cured last spring in London in three stages. The first was perfect repair of the teeth. The second was plenty of exercise; and the third was the slow eating of every kind of food that was agreeable to the taste. ex- cepting pineapple and lobster, toward both of which the patient had a constitutional idiosyncracv that made them act like pois- on upon his system.
 It is tiresome to go through with calis- thenics unless there Is some objective point beyond that of health. The amateur athlete gets slack. I would therefore recommend a home trainer, which is a simple mechan- ism for riding a bicycle in ones own room. The rear weel Is suspended and held sta- tionery while the rider mounts and pedals without moving from one spot. There are many kinds sold. but a simple one can be easily made at home. A very good rub down for an amateur is made by throwing a small bottle of perfume into a large bot tie of alcohol.
 The famous Yale bath Is made by pour ing eight ounces of heliotrope perfume into half a gallon of alcohol The ordinary ex- tract Is used, costing about seventy-hve cents. This makes four rub-downs.
 From this simple talk tired man may get a lesson on bodybuilding.

Two very prominent football players have placed themselves in my care for the sum- mer or until such time as they are to go in training; and the work shall give them to do is identical with the work that should be taken by every very healthy man who goes on a summer vacation. Nothing tones up the system and tunes the heart and mus cles like course of light athletics; and nothing so tends to grade man.
 By grade is meant the taking on of suf- ficient fat to make a man healthy but no more. Grading also means the taking off of superfuous fat man properly graded is just fat enough. Men are so differently built as to size of frame and weight of bones that it Is difficult to give table of weights and measures. But I should say that man who measures feet inches should weigh 175. That may be little heavy, but he should never get under 145. Below that means danger, the wasting of necessary tissues Above 1SO there is danger of obe-

sity or at least s4oglness"
 The best amatuer athlete in New York is exactly 6 feet tall. He weighs 190 pounds and 1t is not loo much for him. have seen men at 200 who were very athletic, could play football which Is the most trying game for fat man, and could sprint. They had hardened the muscles until they were like iron and. having a naturally heavy frame, they could carry off their weight well.
 The course of traning for a beginner can be taken unnoticed. If man Is sensitive about trying to reduce'' he can do so and gain strength without being the subject of remark by following few rules.
 The hardest thing, and the most essen- tjal one is absolute self-control. Without self-control a man can do nothing, for he will add five pounds to his weight in two days from the first fit of over-indulgence. Jockey Taral recently added nearly eight pounds to his weight in day or two when resting This he was able to take off in a night at Turkish bath. But the average
