EXERCISE AND HEALTH.
Purity of Blood and Tissues Results
from Activity of the ELM
NATIVE Organs

Activity is essential for health Stag
nant water becomes foul, while the run
ming stream remains pure and clear. The
tissues of person Who neglects mus
cular exercise become filed with waste
matter in consequence. Exercise slim
ulates the activity and vigor Of every
organ of the body, says Good Health.
The energy of the heart ard the activity
of the lungs are increased four or five
fold by exercise Through the in
creased activity of the heart, the move
ment of blood through the body is
fastened, and through the increased ac-
tivity of the lungs the quantity of oxy-
gen is increased to purify the blood
and vitalize the tissues. Thus the tide
of life rises higher The activity of the
liver, kidneys. skin, and all other elimi-
native organs is greatly increased. thus
securing purity of blood and tissues.
As direct result of deficient exer-
else, the body is predisposed to numer-
Gus diseases, especially rheumatism. in
digestion, diabetes, obesity NEURALGIA.
insomnia, constipation, and premature
old age.
Exercise may be classified as gentle,
moderate and violent. Gentle exercise
is that which does not produce either
fatigue or breathlessness. Moderate
exercise produces fatigue when suffi-
GENTLY long continued, but not breath
lessness. Violent exercise produces
breathlessness. which is one form of ia
tigue; and il continued for any length
of time. produces exhaustion
Gentle exercise is adapted to invalids
and very feeble persons. Violent exer-
else is permissible only to young per-
sons and TO adults who have been aeeus-
toned to vigorous exercise all their
lives. Moderate exercise is the sort
which is especially indicated for health
in all classes. 1t must not be considered,
however, that exercises are harmful
that cause a person to breathe deep.
Deep breathing is one of the most bene-
fetal effects derived from exercise.
There is nothing better than physical
labor for promoting muscular develop
ment and securing the advantages which
come from exercise. But care should
be taken continually TO keep as nearly
as possible in a correct poise Ieno-
rance, carelessness, or WEAKNESS. often
leads a person to assume unhealthful
positions While engaged in work, which,
in consequence of the irregular muscu-
lar development thereby induced, be-
come fixed deformities.

LATEST IN EVENING GOWNS.
softer Materials VIII Enter Into the
Composition of the Coming
Seasons Garments.

The evening gown is occupying good
ly portion of every woman's thoughts
at this time of year. OF every woman,
that is, who is womanly enough to crave
pretty things and poor enough to be
obliged to make her own, says a fashion
authority
The soft materials. such as chiffons,
mousseline de sole, spdngled gauze, crepe
de chine or liberty satin are most used
for the purpose, although an ultra-fash
ionable establishment shows some eX-
ceptionally pretty evening toilets car
ried out in dark blue chiffon, also in
golden brown dark green and a wonder
fully fascinating shade of green-blue.
One cannot deny the elegant sim
plicity of black (when a dark brown is
required), yet for small dinner dresses
these shades make very welcome
change; they have charm and novelty
quite their own, and the added virtue
of economy, as they do not soil easily.
The white evening coat is just as FASH
ionable as ever, but even here the we'll
dressed woman has 2 wide choice She
may again select white evening or car
riage wrap of smooth surface or she
may prefer one of the new zibeline or
plush cloths which so much resemble
fur. White will be given precedence in
these fur cloths, though for day wear

TIE ONE TorIc or ISrEREsr.
Ills Probable Escape From Justice
by suicide Had Eeen Foreseen.

London. Jan 2S-The inquest over
the remains of Whitaker Wright, who
died suddenly. Tuesday. after being
sentenced to seven years penal servi-
tude for fraud, will be held Thursday.
The tragic event is the one topic of in
teresC, and is everywhere discussed in
all its features. The possibility of the
promoters escape from justice by sui
eide was clearly foreseen by Detective
Willis, who brought Wright from New
York. Acting on hints dropped by
Wright during the voyage, Willis gave
the court officials a special warning of
the trial. especially during Justice
Bingham's severe criticism, it became
evident there could only be one YER
dict, SO if Wright was determined on
self-destruction in the event of his
conviction he had time to prepare a
method for outwitting the jailers, as
he must have foreseen that an ad-
verse verdict was inevitable.
4 Strange Document
a strange document was found on
the seat in court which had been occu-
pied by Wright, showing that he had a
premonition of his sentence This was
sheet of blottIng paper ON which he
had scrubbed during the Justices sum
ming up. The Roman characters WI"
were thickly scattered over the whole
sheet This was before the verdict,
but the number comedies with the SEN
tence he received. In the middle of the
sheet appears the word intent" the
last word Wright wrote.
Opposition Press Comment

trenchant comments on the govern

do its duty for reasons now shown to
have been absurd in law and which are
always repuenant to common sense.

Insane Animals,

Insanity in the human subject Is
supposed by some to have no analogue
in the lower animals, says the London
Globe. Yet many cases according to
DR.. Sneilson. will lead to the perma.
nent loss of self-control. Cattle driv-
en- from the country through a crowd
ed town will often work themselves
into frenzy. Horses have gone mad
on the battlefield. At Balaclava an
Arabian horse turned on its attendant,
threw him down, and kneeling on him
attacked him like an infuriated dog.
An instance is related of docile
horse suddenly going mad on a hot
day. Everything that came in its way
it seized in its teeth and shook as q
terrier does a rat. A scientist Of au-
thority even goes so far as to prove
by what appears to be incontestable
evidence that cats. dogs and monkeys
have been observed to have delusions
very similar to those Of insane people.

| AM TIRED.
Everybody is Tired--Spring
Weather Does It--Every One
Should Be Cautious.

D~pie seion of tho nervous. system at the
approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensations,
continual tired feeling, with irregular ap-
petite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Pc.
runa meets every indication and proves it
self to be perfectly adapted to all their va
Tied peculiarities. Peruna invigorates the
system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores
the normal appetite and produces regular
sleep.
That tired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigorat-
ing cold of winter quietly disappears when
Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily tes-
tifying to its priceless benefit.
Mrs. Fl. Kassatt, 1909 w. 18th street,
Des Moines, Ia, writes: 81 am happy to
give my endorsement for your valuable
medicine, Peruna, as l consider it valu-
able medicine to take when the system Is
run down from overwork. About two years
ago felt that | must take a long rest, as |

and could not regain my strength. l could

vous, high strung condition. l decided to

strength, and am pleased to say that l be-
gan to improve very shortly, and in less
than two months ! was able to take up
my work, and felt better than l have for
years. l take it now twice year, and find
that it keeps me in perfect health" Mrs.
kassatt was for over ten years the mana
ger of plant furnishing ladies' wear and

STICKS TO SPINNING WHEEL.
Indiana Woman Of 90 Unique In Her
Habits Of Life.


Habits Of Life.
Mrs. Ruth Clayton. who has just
passed her 96th birthday. lives In q
pleasant little cottage in the village OF
Philadelphia, Ind, and enjoys life as
keenly as do the majority OF those OF
medium age, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. With the exception Of two years
spent in Iowa Grandma Clayton has
occupied her present residence since
1899. She has been q widow 80 years,
during which time she has steadily re.
fused to leave her cabin home until
she went to live with her daughter.
She has insisted on making her own
living in her own way and every year
until the last she tended garden con-
tanning fully one-fourth Of an acre OF
land.
1t was a matter Of pride to her to
call her children and their children
about her every year, and feed them
uopn the products Of her garden. When
she was 80 years old she walked to
Greenfield one afternoon. carrying q
basket of eggs.
She has seen the trains pass and
repass on the Panhandle railroad for
65 years. but she has never entered
car. The Indianapolis and Eastern
traction line runs within six feet OF
her front gate, but she cannot be In.
duced to board one of its cars. She
says:
''If they would stop in front OF
my door and treat me right I might
ride on them, but they 60 whizzing by
and want me to walk square to &C.
commodate them, and don't intend to
do It,"
Her mind is clear and her fingers
are always busy. Last fall she decid-
ed she would knit herself some stock
ings. The wool was brought to her
just as it was taken from the sheep. 1t
was slow work. for she could not see
the stitches. put she persevered, ana
now takes considerable pride in show
ing the visitors four pairs Of well-knit
stockings made for herself.
Grandma Clayton is the Oldest per-
son now living in Hancock county.
Her Oldest child is 70, and her young
est 81 years of age.

came to where Central alley met the
street. Just as she reached 1t three
boys rushed out almost cOlliding with
her as they ran, and looking over their
shoulders as if they expected some one
were following. Margery checked her
self to avoid them and then looked In
the direction from which they had
come. "They've been teasing old Mrs.
Laney," she thought, and sure enough.
the old woman stood in her door shal;-
ing her fist at the receding boys. While
Margery paused the dirty, disheveled
old creature stopped and picked up II
battered tin can in which sickly ger
anium had been growing. With tremb
ling fingers she tried to straighten the
plant, and it fell over the edge of the
pail again, and Margery could see that
the main stem had been broken off
near the root. Then she went on, but
some way the ioyousncss Of the morn
ing seemed dimmcd, and If the birds
in the maple trees above her sang rs
gayly as ever she did not hear them.
She was thinking of tho tumbled old
gray head bending over the broken
plant.
In the school room the girls were
gathered in a corner discussing a plan
which Margery herself had set on foot,
the buying of a palm for their Sunday
school teacher by the six girls Of the
class to be presented on Easter morn
ing. Several of the girls had brought
money and rendered it to Margery,
whom they called chairman Of the CON-
mittee. TO their surprise, she refused
to take it. urgins her friend, May
Gardner, to take it in her place.
but why don't you take 1t, Margery?
You started the PLAN" Margery was
silent for Il moment trying to gather
courage to face the girls surprise and
displeasure.
Because" she said at last, not very
bravcly. II can't give anything toward
the palm, and it wouldn't be fair for
me TO choose it,"
The girls were silent for a moment.
Then one of them said. meanngly:
Its queer way to do, think. to talk
up n plan and get people Interested
and then back out when it comes to
paying your share"
