How Athletes Keen
Strong and Healthy
Their Diet Should Be a Revelation
To All Men and Women.

Physical perfection, great endurance
and unfailinS health are positively es
sential in severe athletic work and
great attention is given to the diet.
In schools where q training table"
is provided for the athlete. only the
most nutritious food is served, and in
cases where there is no training table
the athlete is advised to eat the most
healthful food only. Whether or not
he follows such advice is soon shown
by his physical condition. If the aver
age mantle business mantle law
yer, the teacher, the clerk, the mechan-
&c. the laborer-took such care as to
the food he eats as the athlete does.
there would be far less of sickness and
suffering in this world.
Among athletes the food value of
whole wheat is recognized. They have
demonstrated what scientists have long
declared to be true: that the various
food elements found in wheat are the
food elements with which the blood and
muscle, the tissues and cells. the bone
and brain of the human body must be
replenished if life and perfect strength
are to be sustained.
Every nutritive element of the best
white wheat grown is found in Malta
Vita, and it is fast becoming as popu-
lar among other people as it long has
been among athletes.
And Malta-Vita is so good to eati

MOLINE

Park Nearly Ready.-Sylvan park,
on the river front between Eighteenth
and Twentieth streets, is now in shape
for development as a public playground
and beauty spot. The work of the pres
ent year has been devoted to leveing
the ground, and this has been COM
pleted. In addition, the Nineteenth
street storm drain has been extended
to the waters edge, and the ditch has
been filled, and a broad expanse of
level ground has been provided through
grading and excavating just completed
under the direction of Tim Kennedy.
The contract price for clearing and lev
cling the ground was $755.92, and the
work Includes the tearing out of the
old city dump near the foot of Tween
tieth street. The cost of installing the
drain extension was 81 100. The park
ground will be further improved by
giving it top dressing of excavations
from the Second avenue and Eigh-
teenth street paving jobs which will
be taken up next spring. This ground
is rich and will provide a good soil in
which to SOW grass seed. 1t is prob
able that considerable money will be
spent on park establishment a year
hence.
Petition Against Powder Plant
Merchants on Fifteenth street and
Third avenue are readily signing a pc
tition being circulated by F. w. Rank

the location of the proposed powder
plant on the arsenal. 1t is apparent
that the sentiment is almost unanimous
against the action of the government,
and it is thought that the petition will
be mailed to the congressman before
the end of the week The petition sets
forth the fact that property would be
in danger and that it is not fitting that
powder plant should be established
at a point within a 10-mile radius of
where there is a population of 100000
people.

The banks of Roswell are giving
notice that on January 1st, 1907, they
will open their doors at 10 a. M, in
stead of at 800, as at present, and
close at 8 in the afternoon; further
they will close at noon on Sat
urday. This is merely doing what all
metropolitan banking houses do, and
it is considered time that Roswell
assume city airs in this respect. 1t
really make no difference to the
public, if they but know h opening
and closing hours of banks 1t takes
a community only a few hours eacn
day to do it's banking. Another change
the first of the res will be a strict
adherence to the rule~of opening and
closing. At present the banks, thro'
the back door, are doing business at
all hours of the day. The back doors
will be closed with the front ones

old timers who were here 8 or 9

groceries and provisions of ali kinds
became very scarce and went up to
