prove their physical condition gener-
ally. Some come to reduce flesh,
others to reduce or develop various
parts of the body.
Nothing could be more applicable
or practical to the home gymnast
than the hints on physical health and
training that DR.. Savage advances to
his normal classes, of which the fol-
lowing are few:
"The best time to exercise is be-
tween ten and twelve o'clock in the
forenoon and between four and six
o'clock in the afternoon. If e1ercis-
ing before breakfast makes you feel
faint or weak, then the early morning
is not the time for you to work.
Sometimes a glass of milk, little oat.
meal or toast, will make early morn
ing exercise possible without iniur-
ious effects. If you exercise at night
let your exercise be at least one-half
hour before bed time. It is best to
90 to bed with the blood in its nor
NAL circulation; sleep is easiest under
such conditions.
"The minimum time for brain work
ers to exercise is two hours week,
divided into four days in the week.
Their exercise should be before the
perspiration is reabsorbed by the
body. Do not lounge around until the
suit and the skin become dry again.
"For nervous temperaments slow
exercise is the best, while the rapid
exercise is recommended for the sphleg-
matte. For women with disposition
toward melancholia light competitions
AID outdoor games are the most bene-
fetal form of exercise"
Addressing his normal girls on the
subject of food DIR. Savage said.
"Never exercise just before or after
o meal. At least one.half hour should
be allowed before and two hours and a
half after eating. Mnsticate the food
thoroughly; do not hurry through your
meals, and eat rich foods with great
discretion. Drink plenty of water be-
tween meals, but avoid excessive
drinking at meals. One glass of water
should be sufficient. 1t is better to
use hot drinks at meal times, and do
not drink ice water at any time. A re-
freshing drink to take during the in
teryals when exercising is made by
putting cooked oatmeal in water; let
it soak and settle"
In one of his talks on breathing DR..
Savage strongly advised his girls to
breathe through the nose while walk
ing or doing ordinary work, and only
to breathe through the mouth when
extreme physical effort makes it neces-
sary. "Do nottake short, quick gasps
for normal breathing" he said;
"breathe so as to fill every. cell with
pure air. The largest and strongest
animals in the world breathe from six
to ten breaths per minute, while the
smallest and weakest breathe from 200
to 800 per minute. The manner in
which we breathe is one OF the most
factors in developing human
strength. It is good practice to take
q long, deep breath and hold it in the
lungs few seconds; each day increas-
ing the time OF holding the breath un-
til one minute OF one minute and a
half is reached. Breathing exercises
increase the exterior chest and develop
the interior.
Chapters could be written on sleep.

D D; a thin brass plate, suitably fast
ened to the hard-rubber piece E, and
projecting, provides means for fasten-
ing by the screw F to the movable
arm of the sounder A. The best means
of doing this is to remove the screw
holding the armature of the sounder and
clampering by the screw F both arm

gap between knobs is 3-16 inch.

woman can get any number of motions
and exercises, and she must decide
what is best and most necessary for
her.
Excessive exercise is injurious and
should be avoided. Excessive exercise
and no exercise ct all produce similar
results. Stop exercising just before
nature calls out strongly against
further bodily activity. Just reach
the tired point and stop before e1-
haustion. No law can be laid down
as to how much exercise should be
taken at one time. Every individual
must be guide to herself. A woman
should exercise chiefly with light
weights and make quick movements,
and never. when out of training, try
the limit OH her strength.

Rules 10 Be Observed in the Gymnasium,

Any ordinary room in which there
is good air and sunlight will answer
for a gymnasium; the larger the bet
ter. The beginner need have nothing
more than o pair Of dumbbells or
pair of clubs, either of which she may
buy for 81. A bathing suit or bi-
cycle suit, if loose and comfortable,
makes very good costume. A pair
of boomers and blouse we'll cut is also
very practical. A pair of full-woven
black stocking and heelless slippers
are indispensable.
A long mirror in which the gymnast
can watch her own motions is great
advantage to home gymnasium, but
not essential. From book on e1er-

Didn't Like the Lodgings.

The municipal court had an inter
esting episode with a certain Paul
Meyer yesterday. Meyer was recent
ly discharged from the county Jail,
and not appreciating the action Of
authorities in dismissing him at this
time of year. he resolved to re-engage
board on the hill.
Accordinly he helped himself to a
cost belonging to Joe Lafevre,
though when arrested Judge Stenger
found that no case could be made
out against him. Accordingly the
judge had the man arrested on the
charge of ysgrancy and sentenced
him to three days in the village lock-
up. The sentence was not to Meyer s
liking especially when he saw where
his lodgings were to be. He there
fore ''crawfished" and told all about
the oyercoat in hopes of having the
sentence suspended.
But the judge was firm and so
Meyer is now lodging in the village
cooler, with charge of larceny ready
fof him when his sentence is out.

A Street Fair Proposed.

Last Saturday the Stevens County
Agricultural Society held its annual
meeting. The affairs of the associa-
ton were talked over and among
other matters it was proposed to
merge the county fair into street
fair or to hold street fair at the
same time as the county fair. The
suggestion is good one and when
the proper time comes, should be
more fully examined into. Itwas
decided to have a county exhibit at
the state fair and to ask the county
to give $50 towards defraying the ex-
penses of the same.

ted for the ensuing year.

MISS WILLIAMS HERE.

AS soon as Miss Williams learned of
the terrible tragedy she at once came
here and has been like n ministering
angel ever since. attending daily upon
the wounded man. She is not at oil
communicative, and when seen yester-
day said there was nothing she could
tell. She seemed greatly distressed over
the unfortunate affair, and exhibited
much nervousness when questioned
concerning Mr.. Cotton and the shoot
ing, saying that he was getting along
as we'll as could be expected and she
could not see why anything should be
said in the paper about the affair.
Miss Williams is apparently between
40 and 80 years old, md is quite a
handSome woman. of decided English
manners and appearance. While there
is a paid expert nurse with Mr.. Cotton
all the time, she remains about the
hospital most OF the day and is very
solicitous as TO his condition

THEORY AS TO TELEGRAM.

There is great deal of mystery con-
nected with the attempted suicide and
some of it may never be made clear.
1t was alleged at the time of the shoot
ing that i'll health was the cnuse of
the rash act, but the tenacious man
ner in which the man has chung to life
with desperate wound in the head,
and having lost enough blood to kill
the average man, shows quite clearly
that sickness had nothing to do with
the case.
The theory OF some is that the teIe-
gram from Miss Williams may have
had something to do with the attempt
or self destruction. UP to the time of
the receipt of the telegram there had
been nothing in the mans conduct that
would indicate desire to die. After
the receipt of 1t he retired to his room
and was not seen again until after the
shooting.
Upon the face of 1t there was GER
tainly nothing to cause so desperate a
deed. but a glance further back and
| the theory is suggested that possibly
Mr.. Cotton and Miss Williams had
| quarreled and he left Washington; that
he wired to her to send his things, but
really hoping that she would wire back
for him to return to Washington, but
instead the telegram came saying the
packages would be sent. This, 1t is be-
| lieVed. was great disappointment TO
| the Englishman, and brooding over the
affair he finally made the unsuccessful
attempt of self destruction.
