Anything faster than a walk in
stiff, measured steps is considered hy
most people undignifed, probably be-
cause faster gait than walk-a
good. easy, graceful stride for running
is thing almost impossible to them.
10 see many, even of our young men,
speeding after car or attempting to
catch the last boat is a sight to make
Mercury, the swift messenger of the
gods, weep for very shame and to make
an old trainer curl his lip with honest
contempt.
A speedy and graceful gait, physical
instructors say, is easily acquired. But
attention must be paid to the proper po-
sition one should assume in order to
obtain the greatest amount of progress
sion with a maximum velocity and
minimum expenditure of bodily energy.
The correct position to be assumed
when running is set forth clearly by
Randolph FAIRIES, the intercollegiate
mile and half-mile champion runner,
former president of the Intercollegiate
Amateur Athletic Association of Amer
lea. and now the director of phvsical
education at the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
When running" declares this au-
thority. mo matter what the distance,
the arms, or, more properly sp, ak.ng,
the upper eXtremities, should be used
chiefly from the shoulder with preci-
sion, and should swing in harmony
with the legs or lower eXtremities. The
right arm should move with the left
in order to maintain perfect Laiance
and to gain greater speed. The trunk
and head should be allowed to assume
their natural position, which, If per-
son carries himself properly, will be in
the erect posture or nearly so. The
runner ought never to lean forward.
"All distances under and including
one mile should be run upon the toes,
while distance over one mile should be
run upon the ball of the foot, or the
part just back of the toes. Runners
should put their feet out in front of
'iNii' ~ 81 pSiICSliy llut, lldh-
ing the advanced step with one foot
when the other is directly beneath the
body, keeping each arm in its relative
position and the legs close together, in
order to concentrate energy. A good
stride will cover about seven feet, sew
en feet two inches, seven feet four
inches or seven feet six inches. 1t is a
great mistake to overstride, because in
so doing an unnecessary amount of
energy is wasted, and fatigue comes on
more quickly. If one is able to stride
seven feet at first he is doing well. 1t
is best to increase the stride by inches.
In this way good stride may be OBJ
tanned without unduly taxing tie
muscles.
Never kick your heels up behind you
that is, behind the axis of the body
because it will cause loss of locom)
ton and also of time by making the
legs trail through a greater space, un-
necessarily. AS one progresses, alight-
ing first upon one set of toes and then
upon the other, or ball of the foot, as
the case may be, great care should be
exercised in coming down upon the
ground lightly. If attention be paid to
this the body will escape much jarr.ng,
which is important to the muscles and
nerves."

The most convenient houses are those
which are planned with special refer
ence to the needs of the occupants, and
so as to avoid all useless expenditures;
such houses are the most pleasing in
point of aspect for the simple reason
that they clearly show the purpose for
which they are built. 1t should be
borne In mind that it costs no more to
make a house look attractive than 1t
does to make 1t look ugly. The amount
of labor and material which is required
in one instance costs, practically, no
more than the other. An attractive out

EXTRA OFFICERS ASKED.
Chicago Labor Leaders Evidently Expect Sir
ring Scenes on Dewey's Visit.

Chicago. April 27.-Assignment of
1000 police officers on strike duty has
been demanded formally of Mayor
Harrison by delegation from the
Building Contractors Council. The
committee handed the city's executive
a communication setting forth that the
labor riots We're approaching a crisis
and urging that energetic measures be
taken to suppress outbursts OF Vl1-
lence and protect life and property.
The mayor, after listening to the rep
reservations of the contractors that
there was reign of terror" in Chica-
go, declared that provisions had been
made for extraordinary police meas
urcs during the continuation of the Ia
Dor troubles, and that the limited re-
sources Of the Chicago department al
ready were strained to their utmost.
For that reason, he said, it would be
impossible to augment the details OF
officers now on duty ut unCOmplctcd
buildings affected by the strike.
Resolutions calling on its e, 600 men,
bers and their families and friends to
refrain from taking any part i'll the
Dewey demonstration were adopted by
the Board of business Agents of the
Building Material Trades Council. The
action of the board is the outgroWth of
the use of non-uniua labor in construct
ing the parade grand stand.

An alarm of fire was rung in from
Box 50. Friday morning, at about 7.30
The department made unusually good

closet in the house in Veteran court
occupied by Joseph Brooks. A few
pals of water settled the business. The
only damage was that suffered by the
clothes and it will be small. The cause
of the fire is not exactly known but
it is thought to have been a pipe in one

AN OBJECT LESSON.
In a Restaurant.

a physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from
60 to 50 years; many Of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none of them
feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is 50 common
as to have escaped your observation
or comment, but nevertheless it is an
object lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their
way through a menu card of new
tangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer a juicy roast of
beef. properly turned loin of mutton
and even the deadly broiled lobster is
not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon a good di-
gestion and plenty of wholesome food
and not upon dieting and an endeavor
to live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat.
coffee and many other good things are
rank p1rsons. but these cadaverous
sickly soking individuals are a walk
ing condemnation of their own
theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that If
the stomach secretcs the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quantity
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; if the stomach does not do
so. and certain foods cause distress
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal will remove all
difficulty because they supply just
what every weak stomach lacks, pep
sin. hydro-chloric acid, distastes and

act upon the bowels and in fact are
not strictly a medicine, as they act
almost entirely upon the food eaten.
digesting it thoroughly and thus gives
a much needed rest and giving an
appetite for the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use at
any time and also having found out by
experience that they are safeguard
against indigestion in any form. and
eating as they have to, at all hours
and all kinds of food. the travelling
public for years have pinned their
faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full sized packages and any
druggist from Maine to California, if
his opinion were asked. will say that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble.

berger, with a number of detectives,
