OFTEN EMPLOYS 100000 men
R. [. POLK IS IN SPOKANE

Well, Spokane has grown a big bit,
and when r. l.. Polk, the expert direc-
tory man, says so, it means something
more than mere Doom talk. His
Forthcoming Spokane directory will con-
tain at least 10 per cent more names
than that for last year.
There is man in town today, who,
at certain times of the year, actually
employs 250. 900 helpers. This astonish
ing statement is literally true. r. l..
Polk of Detroit, Mich, is the man. He
is to the business and social world
what Webster is to the world of stu
dents; that is, Mr.. Polk records the
names and addresses of tens of mil
lions of peaple all over the country for
the varied uses of trade and society.
1t is over 40 years since he began
business. This slight glimpse of his
career is given to inspire young men
with a sense of the dignity of success,
and the opportunities lying near at
hand. No man ever began work under
more disheartening conditions than r..
l.. Polk, yet he has achieved an in
ternational renown in his line of bus
mess, has lived to develop an honor
able helpful business
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-12-26

Few readers of The Press have any
idea of the enormous work carried on
by Mr.. Polk. Besides publishing over
100 city directories every year, he
prints medical and surgical register
of the United States and Canada; a
dental register; -four mill and grain
directory; real estate and financial reg
ister; an architects and builders direc-
tory, covering the United States; a
marine directory of the great lakes;
a directory of the Ohio and its tributa-
ries; and state gazeteers, and business
directories, covering p states.
Some Of the compilations mean the
expense of SlO0, 900, and in the medical
and surgical register the names of near
ly 100000 practicing physicians are
published. The r. L. Polk company
whose headquarters are located at De-
troit, is nearly 40 years old, and the
originator of this company is still over
seeing the work. At some periods OF
the Year quarter of million men are
employed by this company. When
questioned regarding Spokane's presen,
growth, The Press representative was
told that the increase of its population
over last year was sure to be very
great, approaching 10 per cent.

How Long Can an Athlete Retain His Bodily Health and Wgor
Without food-Nove| and Interesting Features
Of the Great Exhibition

The Amateur Athletic association
has given it's sanction to the purely
athletic events, and in the mems
competitions many Of the prominent
short and long distance runners Of
the east have entered. The mems
events will be held Wednesday after
noon and Thursday evening. In the
first series the events will be 220-
yard run, five mile run. and throw
ing the 56-pound weight for height
One of the novel and interesting
features will be the women's ath-
letic competitions, which will be held
Thursday afternoon on the running
track in the garden. An unusually
ambitious program has been provid-
ed, and there will doubtless be as
much curiosity to see the fair
sprinters themselves as to learn the
records they will be able to estab-
lish.
Two other novel events will be for
fasting or starving athletes. There
will probably be very little spectacu-
lar interest in the contest before the
real test OF strength at the end Of

the starving period begins. but elab-
crate statistics will be given OF the
daily loss of flesh of each aspirant
for fasting honors, together with the
announcement Of his condition. The
object is TO show that a properly
conducted method Of fasting will not
injure ones bodily health or vfgor,
and 1t is also hoped to demonstrate
that these fasting competitors will
be able to perform athletic exercises
nearly as we'll as those who have
eaten their regular amount OF food
each day. One Of these fasting events
will be for three days. and at the
close all who have been starving for
that length of time will enter 60

the contestants will starve, or try
to. up to their ability for seven days
and at the close they will show what
they can do with the 56-pound weight.

run and the Ons-mile run. Physical
culture wrestling is another interest
ing event on the program which In
expected to attract much attention.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s-Physical
culture in all it's different phases is
to be brought more prominently be-
fore the attention Of the public than
ever before by the physical culture
exhibition to be held in Madison
Square Garden next week. the final
arrangements for which were COM
pleted today. In many respects this
will be a novel exhibit, for nothing
on exactly the same lines has been
attempted in this country before.
While there will be a number of the
regular athletic events such as are
seen at all indoor competitions, as
running and jumping, there will also
be contests in every other department
Of strength, fasting exercises, ex-
hibitions in different systems of ply
steal culture education, demonstra-
tions in the use Of various appliances
for indoor and open-air exercises,
while prizes Of $1,000 each are offered
for the most perfectly developed man
