Begin training very easily. Just trot
around a couple of laps the first week
you train. This will strengthen your
legs for the hard work to come. Start
in to run faster when your muscles
feel good and strong. The first time
out go three-Quarters Of a mile, at
mile clip. The next time tackle three

Vary these distances as you think you

Three times week. with a good race

quite necessary to condition the mus

light exercise each day, bringing into
play the muscles Of the arms, back
and stomach, will prepare there auxiIf-
aries to stand the strain OF hard
racing. To realize how much these
muscles are used one simply has to
run a good hard race without any
training whatever. The next day your
body will feel as though you had been

they have no idea Of harmony in color,
which perception belongs to a higher
intellectual activity. A product Of gro
tesque incongruity of color is charac-
teristic of a poor intellect. Fine sensi-
bility of taste, the appreciation Of that
melting harmony, both in color and in
sound, marks a refined intellect. The
Chinese have nothing that can be prop
erly called music. Their musical in
struments- consist of such as produce
the most discordant jangle. This lack
of music in the Chinese is not due to
any lack Of musical education, but to
their natural apathy toward the beau
tiful. Education, as 1t is an upbuilding
process, cannot develop what is not in
the individual. Among nearly one hum
dred thousand Cinnamon on the Pa
ciffc coast. some twelve years ago,
there was only one, as it was reported,
who really enjoyed music.
Again, the lack of senSitiveneSs in the
Chinese is remarkable. They may be
impelled, by duty or vanity, to give,
but that noble emotion called altruism
seems to be wholly lacking in their
race. That natural tenderness, that
self sacrificing love which character
ICES highly endowed race, is not
found in the Chinese.
Have No Science
Another most peculiar defect in the
Chinese is their lack Of scientific ideas.
They are remarkably poor in mathe-
matics. A Chinese man may be bright
in geography or history, but he is in
capable of comprehending the logical
relation of cause and effect. The lack
of this most important quality in in
tellectual life cannot be attributed to
the want of proper education. Wher-

with what readiness have they grasped

dents ali through this country excel, as

of logic and philosophy is as the finest
repast to their intellectS. The lack OF
susceptibility among the Chinese in
scientific ideas is not due to hereditary
want Of scientific education, as has been
implied, but to the poverty OF their in
tellect. If you attempt to teach an IN

well expect to fail. since your pupil by

"HE half-mile is a race of sustained
speed. BY speed do not mean
that the runner should get out
and run with all his might at the crack
of the pistol. The kind of speed for
half-mile work is an easy, long -strid-
Ing gait, which. while not a sprint, is
fast enough to eat up ground at
startling rate.
In my short athletic career 1 have
noticed that most beginning athletes
regard the SS0-yard run as purely a
distance race. This is a great mistake.
The half-miler must train to travel the
first 600 yards on his speed. This is
the point where endurance comes into
play. Without it the runner will begin
to go to pieces and make a miserable
finish. A moderate amount of endur-
ance.- enables the runner to fight 1t

Why it pays to Trade
 at a Cash Store

There never was and probably never will be a cash store that did not sell goods at an average percentage less than credit stores in the same community.
 There are. of course, some things sold at about the same prices, but in such instances it is an article sold by all the credit stores as well as the cash stores at a bargain that admits of no reduction. For instance, if some staple article cost 19 cents and the established price of all mer- chants on it is 25 cents, it could not well be sold at less than that price. But on the other hand, there are many articles costing from r to 20 cents sold by the cash stores for 25 cents that are sold by the credit stores at from 90 cents to 40 cents and that is where the cash stores save you money and if you were to take a pencil and figure the per centage you would find the saving of a big interest on your money over buying at a credit store and paying on the first of the follow ing month.
 A lady came in the store one day for a comb. She selected one at 35 cents. She said, T just priced one like this down the street at 90 cents. I thought there would be more difference than that up here. We always have things charged down the street" We said: Madam, do you know what you would save if you could buy all your goods at the rate Of 9 cents where you have been paying 90 cents? You could save exactly $3O0.C0 on every $1,OOO.00 you spend. If your husband, now makes S1.10J per year. it would be equivalent to raising his salary $500 per year if you could save the same percentage on all your purchases that you have saved on this comb" 'WeH, l de- clare" she said, I've never thought of that before. I've been saving , and ID cents on a great many things I've bought here and I've found it pays to trade at Davidson's Cash Store. l think you already count on me as one of your regular customers"
