nocToss WARN US AGAINST HARD woRK

Nzw.-A OAE and grow fat is the trite expression
of an old truism supposed to have the
backing of physiological research and med
- ical experience. The farmer who wishes
311ENNMI \ to fatten stock for the market does not
k@M&9N&gS permit IT to roam the fields. He puts the
~- stock in q pen, where it can get little eX-
ercise, and feeds 1t fattening material.
But it has never been supposed that loafing made a
person healthy or strong. 1t favors an increase or aol-
pose tissue, but no one ever commended that it made
muscular tissue or improved the circulation or strength
ened any Of the organs Of the body.
But now come certain members Of the American
Medical Association with the declaration that hard
work is deadly, that the strenuous life is making the
young men Of the United States as decrepit as their
grandfathers were at the age OF 20 years. The intro
duction Of the cinder path, football and other forms or
outdoor athletics into college life, it is claimed, has re-
suited in the alarming growth Of an incurable disease
that is sapping the vitality of the young men. This
disease, which the doctors have named "arteriosclero-
sis" is a suffering and deterioration Of the arteries,
causing them to age prematurely and bringing about a
serious affection of the heart.
1t should not require the admonition of the learned
doctors to impress young men with the danger and
to be derived from rational outdoor exercise. The loaf
ing that permits an excessive accumulation OF fat Is
dangerous. The work or the athletic exercise that does
not respond to the rational needs of a particular body
Is also dangerous. Experience and common sense teach
US this without the testimony Of the doctors.
Loafng does not bring health. Nor does "strenuous"
exercise necessarily bring strength-Chicago Record

MAN HURT BY FALL IN SLEEP
Livery Barn EmPIoye Drops Out
of Loft and Fractures
Skull.

When Police Surgeon Flynn arrived at
Preston & Riley's barn, 80 North Twenty
first street, Monday morning he found
Charles Robinson lying in stall with a
fractured leg and a dislocated shoulder and
further learned to his surprise that the in
jured man had been without attendance for
eleven hours. DR.. Flynn Immediately or
dered the man removed TO the Omaha Gen
eral hospital, where proper attention might
be given him. 1t is thought Robinson will
recover, although he sustained severe in
Juries and a general shaking up by falling
in his sleep from loft TO the floor below.
Robinson came to Omaha Sunday from
Cedar Rapids Ia, and engaged to Preston
& Riley to go to work Monday morning as
a laborer. Having no regular place of
abode he agreed to sleep in the loft during
the night. About 10 o'clock the man rolled
into an opening in the loft and fell to the
floor below. his cries arousing James Riley.
The police station was notified Monday
morning and Police Surgeon Flynn reached
the injured man at 8 o'clock. Surgeon
Flynn said he found the man suffering from
his injuries and received no explanation
from Riley as TO why medical attendance
was not summoned sooner than it was.

CHICAGO FIRMS WANT JOB
windy City Contractor WIN Try to Get
Northwestern Freight Depot
Contract.

The three local contractors who will try
for the contract for the erection of the
new Northwestern freight depot in Omaha
will meet strong competition from the Chi
cago builders, FIVE or six of whom are fig
uring on the work. Encouragement Is given
the local men by the fact that the contract
for the NJ e. Smith & Co. wholesale dry
goods building, the largest single contract
ever let in the city. went to an Omaha
firm, the Capitol City Brick company
which bid in competition with a number of
large Chicago firms. It is also thought
that in case figures show no great differ
enoe the railroad company will naturally
favor an Omaha concern.
The plans for the new building are in
the hands of the contractors and bids are
to be returned August 10 at the office in
Chicago Of Frost & Granger, the archi-
tects A rough estimate by local builder
places the amount of money which will be
required in erecting the building at 10000.
1t is the purpose of the railroad company
to let the contract at once and have the
depot completed by winter.
The building site IL to the north of Dav-
export street and between Thirteenth and
fourteenth streets. The depot will be 72S
feet in length, including the Office building
fronting on Davenport street. which will
be so feet on Davenport street and 50 feet
in depth and will be two stories and base
ment. The depot proper will be So feet In
! width.
Four tracks will run along the west side
of the building, one OF them to be under a
shed which extends over the platform. The
| ground between the building and Thirteenth
street will be left unobstructed by tracks
and will be for the use OF wagons which
will take freight from the doors on the
| AZ side

The failure OF the county attorney to

with the talk of the ice trust that at
Jacksonville, Fla, where they are de-
pendent entirely upon artificial ice, an
agreement was made whereby the price
of ice TO small consumers was reduced to

Timely Recipes.

Muskmelon Cups with Peach Custard-
Use small muskmelons and remove the tops
so as to form covers, then take out the
seeds and membrane and put the cups on
ice to harden. When ready to serve put in
layers of sugared sliced peaches until the
cups are half full and then cover with a
custard made of two eggs, a pint of milk,
heaping teaspoonful of cornstarch and
half cup of sugar. Fasten the covers on
again and chill in the ice chest until ready
to serve. Arrange on individual plates and
garnish with flowers in harmony with the
other table decorations.
= Vegetable Cutlets-Mash six large, hot,
boiled potatoes, adding butter, seasoning
and enough hot milk to slightly moisten.
Chop fine one onion and fry.
Spanish Salad--Prepare a filling of one
cupful of dice of ripe tomatoes drained free
