Athletics may be for good or
evil and in the same manner as q
two-eged sword.
The prime object in athletics is
improvement of the general health. !.
One writer has said that health,
like happiness, does not exist. He
said the body consists of a number
of mechanisms which have the
closest and most exact relations,
ard as they approximate to har-
mony there is health. but when
disordered there is ill health.
To obtain good health muscle
building is not necessity. One
cannot judge of persons health
by the size and hardness of the
muscles. The converse may be
true.
To obtain health one must not
be in perfectly trained condition,
owing to the effeots of severe train.
ing on the nervous system.
There is no evidence to prove
that athletics and muscle building
improve the constitution.
One should always keep in mind
the fact that built up or hypertro-
phied muscle has tendency to
degenerate. The heart being a
muscular organ shares in this ten-
denoy.
In regard to the moral side of
the question it remains to be pro-
ven that athletics per Sc corrupt

confident that athletics improve
the morals of community.
Although the evidence for and
against athletics is contradictory,
the whole subject may be summed
up by stating that athletios are
beneficial when properly and ju.
diciously and very injurious when
the precautions above mentioned
are ignored or oarelessly reg ARD,

The men working on the brick wall
were thirsty, and he would take

the discomfort of working in the

to fill the bucket at her we'll. The
water was 80 cool that men from
Offices and stores nearby oft, n
came or sent for water from the
well
Reaching out for the bucket the
man declined the water, saying in
a friendly tone that the men would
like beer better than water-he
only wanted bucket to carry it in.
Steadily, the bucket was held back
as the lady said: al am sorry, I
can not lend bucket of mine for
beer. Why l dare notl 1 have
three boys. and what would they
think if 1 let beer be carried in

GREAT LINER
AT MERCY
OF THE SEA

Philsdelphia, Jan. 16.-The steamer
Noordland, about whose safety there
were grave fears, arrived at her dock
last night. An accident to the main
shaft and severe weather prevailing
during the trip caused the delay
The accident occurred January 2,
when the vessel was 500 miles out
from Queenstown. She lay helpless
until the following Monday when she
again got under way, but pitched so
violently that everything movable
was thrown about and the passengers
were terror stricken. In the mean
time temporary repairs were made
and the Noordland resumed her yoy-
age at half speed. Last Monday the
steamer Rhyland, from Antwerp
bound for Philadelphia, sighted the
Noordland and escorted her to Della
ware Capes.
