1t Is told that Henry Schwaller
may want TO sell his auto, being
afraid it would play him such a
caper as 1t did his brother Rusty
last Sunday evening. who, with
George and TWO pretty glrls went
autoing, got 4 miles out in the
country when the go devil ran out
of fire, boy was hired TO horse
back in for gasolene, and fer two
hours the young party sat there In
the moonlight waiting. What
would Henry done those 2 hours?
But it didn't bother Rusty, for he

Rusty hired the boy to como very
slow to and from town and knew
when he started he hadn't enough
gasolene to get home with.

Decoration Day.

Decoration day was a perfectly
beautiful one, our town was more
elaborately decorated with flags

their msmhers.

WHERE FADS ARE USEFUL.
Variety and Change in Daily Routine an
Aid to Longevity,

One of the professors in the Iuir"r-
Sity of Nebraska claims that the Am II
can people are running too much to fads.
He says they are wearing themselves out
either chasing after physical culture,
golf. tennis. automobiling. massage, diet.
baths. etc. He denominates these things
rs fads. The person gets interested in
one or more of them and spends Il great
deal of time and energy pursuing them
No doubt Il PEI on can run n thing into
the ground ana make it harmful, even
though of itself it he Il good thing. But
we believe that every person should have
at least one side issue or fad from his
regular vocation.
After one gives SO much time every
day to the routine of work TO turn aside
for Il while and take up gOlting, tennis
or physical culture, or other outdoor
sport is restful and beneficial. True.
some people do become regular crankS on
health culture, diet. bathing, athletic
sports etc, but any one of these pursued
in moderation, with common sense, can
be made of n great deal of use, especially
to the person confined in an office all day.
1t brings into play the muscles that are
unused and it drives from his mind all
business cares and sets another train of
thought going. Reasonable attention TO
diet and bathing is also sure to improve
health. The woman who is confined to
her home the larger part of the day with
housework will find golf or tennis or an
hour spent in physical culture Il relief TO
tired muscles and nerves.
Change and variety in our. daily
routine is necessary to our well-being.
No matter what our regular vocation
may be. it is harmful to get into n rut--
just simply going through treadmill of
duty day after day with no let-up. One
should always try to bring into each day
some new activity. some new train of
thought. 1t is not wise thing to get
into Il certain groove and just simply
wear ones life away. MOnotony kills
quicker than anything else. We should
have our daily work. in which we are in
terested, put our energy and enthusiasm
into it and do it with all our might.
Then when that is done turn to some
other form of activity or est."-Medical
