NO TITLE FOR FIVE YEARS.
Drawers of Homesteads Cannot
Sell Their Property.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington July 3o.-Secretary OF the In
terror Hitchcock Is very indignant over the
statement to the effect that the persons
who drew the first choices in the Ell Reno
and Lawton districts of the Indian lands
recently thrown open for settlement were
preparing to sell their claims to the highest
bidders and that the officers of the General
Land Office would not be able to enforce
the provisions of the homestead law against
such transfers.
Secretary Hitchcock said that on previous
occasions when lands were thrown open for
settlement, it may have been possible that
such transfers were made. owing to a lack
OF proper registration facilities. The intro
duction of the new system Of allotment and
the care that has been exercised on this
occasion in keeping the records would ef-
fectively prevent any such land juggling
by SPECTATORS.
lie PORTED out that, by the terms of the
homestead law. five years must elapse be-
tween the taking out of Il title by a settler
end the perfection of the title and payment
OF the final fee. During the interval, the
settler must live upon and improve his
property, and any transfer of his rights. be-
fore the expiration of the five-year limit
would in,alidate the title to his claim.
1t would be absolutely impossible. Mr..
Hitchcock says, for land SPECTATORS and
boomers TO evade the law in a single in
stance at the present opening. owing to the
detailed accuracy of the methods of regis
tration and allotment.

Mr.. McCreery was not introduced to sport

FROM THE GOLFERS STANDPOINT.
by GEORGE s. McGREw.

Golf did not precipitate the death Of Way
man c. McCreery. He had not been we'll
man for two years before his death. He
never played beyond his endurance, because
he was too keen q sportsman not to appre-
ciate when the time had arrived to stop
am as old as he was at the time of his
death. yet 1 play golf every day when the
weather is fine, and i find great relaxation
in the game. My physician. Doctor Kier,
has advised me to play. as the best remedy
for an aiment that bothers me sometimes.
l arise from my desk after trying day
full Of bushes perpleXities and go out to
the Glen Echo links. where jump into my
golf clothes and sally out on the links with
every care of the day gone. Golf is game
that requires all Of ones attention. 1t keeps
the mind concentrated on the sport in hand
1t is not trying game There is plenty
Of time to rest between actual playing when
one is walking over the grass from one hole
to the other. 1t can be overdone. like every
thing else. There is great temptation, as
in every other game, to excel. For instance.
when player has made the links in fifty
six, he says. IT must beat that" He fol-
lows the course again and probably succeeds
in cutting down his previous record to fifty
two. Then he may have desire to beat
his record. and determines to make another
round. That is OVERRIDING 1t. but the mis-
take Is not made by the person who has
been used to sports most OF his life. as in
the case Of Mr.. McCreery.
One can sit at desk all day and do work
that would exhaust him unless he were an
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-07-31

Common sense teaches that a man cannot
take as much physical exercise as he grows
older. but Doctor Bernays has gone to the
extreme in his assertion that golf caused
the death of Mr.. McCreery.
1t is more than likely in such cases that
some organic trouble was the primary in
vitation to death. Perhaps outside infiu-
ences may have a contributory effect in
bringing about the final result.
Exercise harms no man If he goes ABOUT
1t in rational way. l am advocate Of
exercise i take II constantly and am now
a man of IS years. / am an enthusiast at
bowling and indulge in this healthful game
at present Ny muscles are hard as rock.
There are few men of my age who are in
better physical condition. l like the old
Greek idea of beginning life.
Education was the basic principle Of their
greatness as nation. Before they educated
the mind the body was educated. Boys and
girls were both trained in the secrets Of the
physical life. After the rudiments of the
physical had been incucated the mental
training began. 1 adopted this method with
my children. They are types of physical
perfection.
The mistake in exercise is the violent
transition from the inactive to the active
state. Gradual approach to the highest
point and gradual recession from that point
is natures rule of physical cultivation. and
it is the only safe way. If man refrains
from physical exercise for a long period Of
time and then suddenly renews 1t at its
full vigor he is endangering himself. Bust
ness men do themselves more harm by
leaving the city and seeking recreation in
the summer than if they were to remain at
their desks
Unless they have kept themselves in con-

the hunting or fishing trip will overtax
their strength. because they go at It as
they attend to business. with too much
method and vigor. With all the muscles in
use all the time they ought to be in condi-
ton to approach their outing prepared for
Its hardships. as well as its pleasures.
A man like Mr.. McCreery. who was all
ways devotee Of more or less exercise,
should have not been killed by playing golf
which is the game Of one of the hardest
peoples of the earth l cannot speak for
the overexertion that may have been in
dulged in, but should think that the scien-
tifc lover of sports would know in a min
cite when he was OVERRIDING.
The less certain muscles are used the
more susceptible they become to that hard
ends In what we call atrophy, which is the
absolute cessation of blood contribution to
the veins which feed these certain muscles.
The disused muscles become stringy. fiabby
and are as the dead branches Of trees. The
blood Is not forced by the vital functions
into these unused parts of the body. Total
dieuse of the limbs Of the body would in
time cause the blood supply to conflne its
circulation to the trunk.
Exercise is absolutely necessary. As one
grows older there may be a gradual dimin-
ishing of physical exertion, but even then
It ought to be pursued with discretion. Ath-
letes make the mistake of entertaining. I
have been called on many times to restore
a system that has been disarranged by this
idea Of keeping on fine edge. Pugiiists
acquire the fine edge and then go to pieces
by imme diately resorting to stimulants to
quiet their overweight nerves. instead OF
continuing the same exercise in a gradual
manner until they again reach their normal
condition.
