SKIPPING ROPE FOR HEALTH

when L meet man whose name
have utterly forgotten, say: And
how is the old complaint?' is Disraeli
cyntcism thoroughly appreciated by the
present generation concerned about
many things. but chiefly about its
health Those who have not ills to be
relieved Of are anxious TO avoid all Ills,
and therefore breakfast foods multiply
and most cures make their compound
ers rich. In the June number Of pc
rfodfca1 as dignifled as the National
Review (English) physician gravely
advocates the exercise of skipping rope,
as a means of maintaining or regaining
the health. He points out that this
childish pastime not only exercises all
the muscles but that it can be prac-
ticed most conveniently everywhere;
that it is readily available at any mo-
ment; and that it can be enjoyed by all
at the smallest possible cost
There is a class of people who hail
with aIacrity everything that bears the
stamp of novelty and this class is sure
to furnish devotees to the skipping
rope exercise. But the majority of
people will not indulge in this partfcu-
lar form OF exercise for the reason that
they love to maintain their dignity
even more than their health. and the
mere thought of stafd, nfddIe-aged folk
jumping rope is sufficient to excite the
risibilities of the gravest. To be sure,
man may skip rope in the privacy Of
his own chamber and only the members
OF his 0wn family be the wiser of II, hut
few men find any satisfastion in soli-
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-06-19

tary exercise, and, moreover, the physi-
clan who advocates it. admits that like
all other exercise this is better taken I'm
the open air.
But another objection to the skipping
rope exercise Is its immediate futility~
Men, and women. too, for that matter,
are most partial to that form of exer-
else which has an immediate as well as
distant object in view Men play
golf for the good of their health, but
they stick to 1t principally because 1t Is
contest that arouses their combat
iveness. And in the various forms of
gymnastics practiced by men. skill is
required and prowess may be demon
strated. But rope jumping is an exer-
else that demands neither skill nor
prowess. and 1t is a graceful exercise
only when indulged in by those who
possess grace.
And so. in spite of the fact that it has
reputable advocates, adults are not apt
to indulge in rope jumping to any great
extent Doubtless in the privacy of
their own apartments a few women
whose foe is embonpoint will skip for
health and beauty Of form and it is not
improbable that a few male martyrs
to dyspepsia will smuggle skipping
ropes home in their inside pockets, said
ropes to be piled later In the seclusion
of attic or basement. But that any city
a procession of citizens and citizen
esses skipping down to business is
hardly to be expected. Some less &C.
centric means will have to be found for
lowering the death rate.

happens. We all unite in shielding and
concealing the criminal who has will
ingly struck the light that ends in
such deadly explosions. All this waste
of human life. except that exceedingly
small fraction which must be assigned
to mere unpreventable fatality. is really
OF our deliberate creating. How soon
will every community awake to the
consciousness of it's direct and dreadful
responsibility in tolerating what seems
at present an incident of no more i'm
portance than a single grain of pow
der; but which. like that, properly
placed, is capable of spreading disas-
ter and mourning throughout the land?

PLANNING MEALS FOR OTHER
PEOPLE

Every little while some person OF
leisure who has the interests OF his
fellow men art heart sits down and de-
vfses q number OF attractive and In
expensive menus for the guidance of
the very poor. He generally proves
to his own satisfaction that with an
outlay Of twenty-five cents q day for
food a family of six can live on the
fat Of the land and he is pretty sure to
arise from his task Of computation
firmly convinced that were it not for
their extravaganza the income Of the
very poor would suffice for all their
needs and permit many luxuries.
1t was doubtless a person Of leisure
who planned the sample meals that
are now being exhibited in Gotham
for the edifcation and enlightenment
of all who wish to inspect them. The
least expensive costs thirteen cents
for each person, and the most expensive,
twenty-four cents. If the devfser of
this latter menu is to be believed you
can, for the paltry sum Of twenty
four cents, breakfast on oranges. cream
Of wheat. creamed potatoes, brain cro-
quettes, pop-overs, coffee and cream;
lunch on veal, green peas, bread and
butter, apple tarts and thick cream;
and dine on tomato soup and croutons,
porterhouse steak. baked potatoes, lima
beans, bread and butter and tapioca
cream. And all this In New York,
which is considered the most expensive
city In the country In which to live.
In spite OF the fact that they are
honestly prepared, the extremely cheap
menus are apt to be considered a de-

AN UNNECESSARY ADJUNCT TO
RACING


Not bookmaker was permitted to
operate at the Washington Park track
yesterday, yet an enormous crowd, es-
timated at $4,000 persons, saw and en-
joyed the American Derby and the
other races. The event puts quietus
upon those interested gentlemen who
have contended that horse racing can
not be conducted without incidental
gambling on the track.
The people of the West and particu-
larly of Chicago. knew that the order
Of Mayor Harrison to prevent pool
selling at the track side would be en-
forced. Chief OF Police O'NeiT had
made it very clear that he would en-
force the order, even If it were neces-
sary to mass the whole police force Of
Chicago in the grounds. The gambling
syndicate accepted the situation and
did what business could be reached by
handbooks-and the greatest crowd
that ever witnessed an American Derby
went to the races and worried along
without doing any betting, worth men
tfoning. That there was betting is not
to be doubted. 1t is possible that some
commissioners took bets for the gam
bleFs, and it is certain that individuals

particular danger tc public morals in
that sort Of betting. The demoralizing
effect of gambling results when pools
are sold openly and in such manner
that every man and woman may make
bet without leaving their seats and
under such conditions for the odds as
the booknakers choose to offer. In pre-
vious years a mad crowd Of ten or even
twenty thousands persons have surged
about the booknlakers In the betting
ring. Wildly excited men, women and
boys have risked money, under the IN
spfration Of the scene, that they could

have carried off hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars and victims to the gambling
habit have been turned out in thou
sands. A feature of the week follow
ing the Derby In Chicago has been the
recording of defalcatfons and suicides
Of bettors.
Mayor Harrison's order accomplished
a mighty good. 1t saved many fools
from parting with their money; it de-
stroyed the usefulness Of the Derby
meeting as a school for suckers. 1t
did not interfere with the enjoyment Of
the great Chicago holiday, and there is
none to regret it but the sporting gen
tlemen whose Golfers are not so full as
they would have been but for the new
regulation.

attempts TO carry them out. Take the
one given, for instance. Possessed OF
time and sufficient street car fare, it Is
probable that she might be able to
discover a grocery store where it would
be possible to purchase, for the very
small sum named, the articles called
for in the menu. But the average
housekeeper would not be able to un-
dertake the pilgrimage. for time and
street car fare are items which she
must consider. And she knows that a.
small fraction OF twenty-four cents
will not purchase a porterhouse stake
in the shop around the corner.
The trouble is that no deviser of the
cheap menu ever appends to It direc-
tions as to where to get the material
for the meals. If the housekeeper
knew just where she could get cream
for two cents and porterhouse steak
for six and a half or seven cents,
green peas for a penny and butter for
three or four cents, the cheap menu
would. OF course, be a real help. But
as 1t is it merely adds to the house
wife's already heavy burden. If she does
not attempt to carry 1t out, she can
not refute the charge of extravaganza;
If she does attempt to carry it out,
she is apt to drive her husband to
drink and herself to the poorhouse.
