CURE FOR ILLS OF LIFE.
French Physician Prescribes Running
as Panacea for Disease of
Civilization"

For neurasthenia, the disease of civ
llization," DIR. Felix Regnault, of Paris,
believes he has found cure. The
remedy is nothing more than making
the patient learn to run.
While in the orient, DR.. Regnault OBJ
served the splendid physical condition
of the jinricksha men, who pull a lit
tie cab at a horses trot for hours to-
gether without fatigue. Many of these
men, although not of powerful build,
are marvels OF endurance. Their
nerves are perfect The physician
studied their method of training for
their work
The jinricksha apprentice, while be-
ing taught to run, is made to hold a
wand in his two hands in such way
that his elbows are thrown well back
ward. This throws out his chest, while
his back is held straight
The runners gait is developed so
that with the knees we'll bent he lifts
the feet only slight distance from the
ground, insuring a minimum of expen-
diture of energy. The whole trick of
this style of running is development
of wind"
DR.. Regnault take his neuurasthenic
patients on smooth road, teaches
them the jinricksha mans style of run
ming, limiting the run of the first few
days to seven minutes or so.
Gradually the length of the run is
increased until the patient is stepping
put briskly for half-hour at a time
without breathing or stitches" in the
side.
The deep breathing tones the whole
system, the exercise improves the cir
culation, and the eXhilaration of the
motion eliminates the depressed men
tai condition peculiar to nerve exhaus-
ton.

excuse for sudden fight: but nothing
feasible occurred to him
I'm in for it, he groaned. Again
he nervously consulted his watch. One
minute to nine,
The guests arose and were saying
goodnight. 1t seemed to Grady that
they would never go. But now they
were in the hall. Ethel accompanied
them to the door. Grady breathed
sigh of relief. He was alone with
Miss Jennie.
L can't propose to Ethel tonight at
nine," he thought, for it is exactly
nine now"
He wished Ethel was with him
alone. He realized that he never
loved her so well, and he wanted to
tell her SO. He looked towards Miss
Jennie, and was surprised TO see that
she was gone, and that Ethel was in
her chair. He did not know low it
happened, but he was glad that it was
so. He went over to her and, drop
ping on his knee at her feet, poured
out his long-SuppreSsed affection in
passionate words. Never before had
ne spoken so confidently, so earnestly,
so eloQuently. He offered her his love,
his life, his all. Did she love him !?
Could she learn to love him? Would
she be his wife?
Pausing for her to- reply, he came
TO himself with start, like one
awakening from a deep sleep For a
moment he was dazed. Then he heard,
not Ethel, but Miss Jennie reply:
why, Mr.. Grady, this is so sudden

Instantly the situation flashed upon
him. Under the hypnotic influence he

which quickly turned to one of haugh-

tones, ''for irtruding Pray excuse

doorway.
Grady, covered with confusion,
arose from his knees.

Sir" she interrupted, ARE you
trifling? Joking with me in this fash

stamped her foot angrily, her flashing
eyes held Grady spellbound.
"I-I-no-that is" he gasped al
am not WE'LL will explain later.
Goodnight" and out he rushed.
He went directly to Charley Stanley
and told him of his plight. The next
day Grady sailed for England.
Stanley, having recommended the
hypnotic experiment. felt responsible
for his friends predicament. He there
fore called upon Ethel Bayne and told
her Of the experiment, explaining
clearly Grady's actions.
When Grady arrived in London he
found this cablegram awaiting him:

 IA very pretty wedding was that celebrated at the Congregational church, when Miss Margaret Alaska Young, daughter of Rev. S. Hall Young, D. D, general superintendent of Presbyterian missions for Alaska, was united in marriage to Mir. Frank E. Kleinschmidt. The ceremony was performed by the brides father, assist ed by Rev c. E. Ryberg, of the Con- gregatiOnal church. The church was tastefully decorated for the occasion, the ceremony being performed under a beautiful white canopy, Ill the shape of a tent, on the platform, the work of a number of friends of the bride, under the direction of Mrs. Theo Allen.
 "The body os the church was well filled with friends of the bride ard groom. The bridal party entered at 9;3O D ID. to the music of Mendels- sohn's wedding march. A charming solo by Mrs. B. T. Dyer preceded the arrival of the bridal party. The brides maid was Miss Elma Ryberg, whi'e the groom was supported by Mr. Carl Lo- men, the ushers being Mr. Sam C, Tay- Tor and Mir. Thomas Matthews. After the simple but beautiful ceremony had been pronounced a reception was given at the Congregational parsonage by Rev. Dr. Young, an elegant lunch be- ing served. About 9 were present.
