SLEEPS ON THE ROOF GOLDEN RULE JONES TELLS OF

Toledo Mayors Odd Plan-Besides Spending Summer Nights Out of Doors, He Lets Winter

Toledo. O.. Special to Chicago Record

 Mayor Jones sleeps on the roof. The chief executives physical culture theo- ries have from time to time attracted considerable attention, but even to those who had become accustomed to see him running down street like boy, or way ing his arms about to facilitate deep breathing as he alighted from street car. this latest fact brought little thrill of surprise In cage of mosquito net ting his cot is placed, and securely pro tected from Insects the golden rule mayor sleeps deep and free" as he says. Mayor Jones declares the idea is not half as peculiar as 1t sounds.
 Before I began sleeping beyond the confines of a close room,' he said. "I was troubled with asthma and bronchitis, but this pure air treatment has complete ly cured me. I feel better than I did twenty years ago. Of course sleep out of doors only in the Summer months. but in the Winter. unless 1t rains or snow, I have every window in the house open.

All the tools and engines of "talium" which he had made remain. but no analysis has re- vealed the method by which the metal was blended. "Talium" is lost. /
 The extraordinary perpetual lamp of Henry Mills, which he invented. perfect ed and proved the worth of twelve years ago, was lost in quite a different manner.

 Asked to explain his ideas as to best methods of securing health Mayor Jones wrote the following, whica he signed. for publications:
 'lt seems there are many people who believe that to be dignified one should be in a condition of fashionable invalid ism or semi-invalidism at least: that such person should ride in carriages. eat dinners of courses, be attended by a valet. proceed with great deliberation when he essays to walk, and be extreme ly careful about showing signs of vital lty or yigor. I am perfectly willing that everyone who believes thus should live that way. but for myself I do not share in that sort of sentiment
 Up to two years ago had given little or no attention to the care of my body, with the consequence that through ff- teen or twenty years of lack of exercise, oVereating and general influence, my body had become pretty we'll filled with disease. had cRtRrrh and asthma dreadfully for six or seven years. I had pains rheumatis. neuralgia, lumbaEic and dlabOlic.
 About that time my attention was called to the fact that good health meant rich red blood, And plenty of 1t. coursing through ones veins; that 1t does not course in peoples bodies who live as ! had been living, and that those who live simply, eat sparingly, breathe deeply of fresh outdoor air and work (exercise) vigorously. have good health in abund- ance without the aid of drugs or doctors.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-06-21


 Good health was about what I want ed. I changed my mode of life; threw open the windows of my sleeping apart ment; reduced the amount of my eating about one-third or one-half; took plenty of exercise, mainly in useful, productive work as far as I could get 1t; made a. practice of walking five to ten miles daily, not merely walking for fun, but walking instead of riding to places where was actually going. and last Summer found that by actually sleeping out of doors while up in Michigan the work of restoring the diseased respiratory or- gans went forward much more rapidly. with the result that I am now in pos- session of the strength and vigor that l had at 30 or s5, though I am nearly 57 years old.
 And because have found that 1t ia good fer me I have determined to live as much As possible in the open air, Sum- mer and Winter. For that reason sleep in the open air whenever and wherever can. I have not taken cola in year and have determined to quit that sort of foolishness.
 Y have never said that 'everybodv should do so.' I simply reserve the right to do 1t myself, leaving all others free to do as they like in regard to this, as well as in regard to matters of politics and religion. Yours for the open air and simple living, plain work for ;ex- ercise' and good health.''

Lost His Coon.

Josh Simmons, colored, pat
riotic citizen of the community,
is mourning the loss of pet coon
which he brought here for eXhi-
bition with the Anderson county
exhibit at the Carnival. He
wanted to show the world what
the county could do in the way of
coons. He says he handed the
animal, with chain attached, to a
gentleman in uniform. He never
reached the Anderson county eX-
hibit, consequently when Sim
mons called after the show for
his pet no one knew anything
about it.
Some one says it fell into the
hands of a Tyler lieutenant, and
is now installed as mascot for the
company, and the negro is trying
to find out where Tyler is and
how TO recover his coon.

Judge and the Circus.

We said in yesterdays issue,
s'The court refused Mollie Bal
ley's show permission to parade
upon the square with music, ETC.,
in the afternoon. We did not
say whether we approved the
action of Judge Gooch or not.
There was man (Follis) on trial
for his life. Evidence was being
introduced. 1t may have been
that the band and evidence could
not be heard at the same time.
The Judge evidently concluded
that the trial was more important
than the music, and he wanted to
hurry up the trial so that people
away from home could get away.
That is fair statement of his
views and we think he was cor
rect.
The Bailey show wanted to en-
terrain the people and add to
their pleasure and amusement,
which was commendable. We
did not criticise the Judge for his
view, but merely stated why there
was no performance in the after
noon. If we felt inclined to dis
agree with him we would not
hesitate to do so and publish such
in the Review. We know that
Judge Gooch is not narrow
minded man, and if we are not
mistaken, he believes in free
speech and a free press, and he
has never yet done anything to
abridge anybody's privileges or
said anything to abridge any
mans personal rights, freedom of
opinion or action. He is a just

1t really makes no difference

Claridge says, now looks like

men may learn of their wicked

out, and the sporty boy stay home

loosen his purse, and be more his

may be more universal; that the
children of men may be given
their freedom from care, and
taught that honor lies in we'll

that the grafters repent them of
their ways then, indeed, will be
the millennium.
Beloved, there is no need to
worry about the end. Death is
an inheritance and is as sure to
come as the milk-man.
Let us worry less about death
and reason more about life.

A LAY SERMON.
BY HAMILTON HAMILTON.

Be We not deceived, for no man
knoweth the end.
Another periodical discussion
is at hand as to when the world
shall come to an end. l do not
understand why so much thought
and speculation are given to this
subject. L have given the matter
serious and candid consideration,
and | cannot see for my life how
it would benefit you or me to
know the exact date on which
the "Home, Sweet Home" waltz
would be played to this terrestrial
ball, and the whole thing creased
in vasaline and sent spinning into
eternity. How would it add to
your stock of pleasure to know
that the end was tomorrow, next
week or next year, or twenty
wears from now? How much joy
would intervene? Wouldn't it
be a pleasure to go and mark it
up on the calendar, where you
could see it every day, that the
world is coming to an end next
Thursday afternoon at a o'clock,
rain or shinep Don't you see
how inconvenient such knowledge
would be? Don't you see how
wise it is that we have no know
ledge of future events. There
are enough rational things in this
world to keep the human mind as
busy as bob-tail horse in fly
time without cropping in the
dark after things we cannotknow,
and knowing could not alter. We
are responsible only for the past.
The future is a gift from our
Creator.
Beloved, L have no more idea
