The Benefit of Exercise,

Exercise does for the body what the
mountain side does for the stream of
water. When the water runs down the
mountain side it is a babbling brook,
leaping out into the air now and then,
throwing itself into spray, exposing it.
self to the sir and sunshine and the
waters are crystal pure. In the valley
or on level plain the waters may form
stagnant pools and get covered over
with slime OF all sorts and inhabited
by all kinds ot filthy creeping things
Some people le, themselves get into the
condition Of that stagnant pool and
then wonder why the frogs croak in
their brains and why the birds do not
sing instead. When a person gets into
the condition where the body Is like q
stagnant pool radical change must be
made in his life. He must begin by
getting vitaized, new blood into all his
cells and tissues.-Good Health.

Characteristic sonra.

1T may or may not be the case that
races temperament can be judged
from it's folk songs" said a traveller on
a transatlantic liner the other day,
"but it is interesting to note the diff
ference of subject matter in the songs
Of various peoples.
'"The Irishman, for instance, seems
to sing for the most part about his
ladylove Hardly any Of his songs are
not addressed to his Somebody Ma
vourneen'
"The Scot, on the other hand, sings
nbout his country and it's history, as a
rule. Scots Wha Hae,' 'Ye Banks and
Braes O. Bonnie Doom 'Loch Lomond,' :
and SO on, might be taken as examples.
"The Englishman, it is interesting to
note, sings about himself all the time.
His songs are about his own glory, his
ships, his men, his power. He refers
occasionally to old England, but only
as a place he made famous by his own

Scotch, he sings little Of his women

TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS AN.
TlClPATED WHEN PANGS OF
HUNGER ARE FELT.

Lodz. Russian Poland, Dec. S1.-The
situation here is rapidly becoming
ACUTE Sanguinary encounters were
frequent during the day. Up to this
hour six persons have been killed and
twelve wounded.
The authorities, at first supine, are
now more active and are preparing to
meet all emergencies. 1t Is generally
anticipated that the workmen will
eventually secure the upper hand over
the socialists, drive out the agitators
and resume work within few days.
The principal Polish banks say they
do not fear any financial -di1tlculties
among the firms which have been
forced to close down their works.
The proprietors of seven of the larg-
est factories here. employing 100000
persons, have announced their inten-
ton Of closing their establishments in
consequence of the system Of terror
ism inaugurated by the socialists. The
announcement caused great excite
ment among the Inhabitants generally
Of this city as well as among the bet
ter classes Of the factory employees,
who fear that when this great army
Of unemployed persons begins to feel
the want of bread rioting will occur.
The factory employees as a rule are
without any means to support them
selves and their families during the
hard winter prevailing. One Of the
principal mill owners informed cor
respondent of the Associated Press
that the employers were compelled to
close down because the militant So
cialists control the entire city and
are numbering all those who do not
accept their demands, which makes
the continuance Of business impossi-
bic.
The socialists Friday murdered no
less than a score of nationalist work
men in this city and vicinity and they
threaten to organize street riots and
compel citizens at the point of revol-
vers to feed and lodge the unem-
ployed.
The manager of the Scheiblers' cot
ton mills and the foreman and engi-
neer of another factory were MUIR
dered during the night by socialists
and the engineers Of those and other
establishments, fearing assassination,
have refused to return to their work.
Consequently four of the largest cot:
ton mills shut down and others will do
likewise.
Several street encounters occurred
during the morning. The engineers
and skilled artisans are leaving LODI.

city, which occurred on Christmas
