There Is no question about the

meet all reasonable demands and
their anxiety to stretch point in

/ Joint the banks properly make is said
to be that they have already stretched
this point, several notches in fact, be.
yond the point of good banking in
such stringent times and that further
calls on the banks by the city can
only be met by restricting present
operations which should probably be
taken to mean the calling of loans
to such an extent that the credit OF
every borrower in Cairo, might be
affected In other words. the banks
are perforce considering the interest
OF the public dis individuals above the
interest Of the public as whole In
IA far AZ public improvements are
concerned
Another point that is made is that
there is no precedent that insists
upon all or in fact any part of the

Cairo being financed at home. The
work here has often been compared

contractors to place the bonds in such /

who make a speciality Of handling Just

les and patronage for placing large
blocks OF municipal bonds, and. as

THE BENEFITS OF WALKING.

Physicians recommend walking the best all-around
exercise known to them.
Why?
In the first place, when you walk you raise the tenn
perature of your body. 1t like sung coal in the
furnace and opening the draught There's something do
ing in your body. Everything gets into working order
Aour muscles and nerves getting up by perspraton
and more waste is being waste is being carried off.
Then You breathe deeply. And that puts
oxygen in your blood, and oxygen is necessary to
you than your meals.
And there's your skin. The millions Of pores
opened up by perspraOn and more waste is being
ried off,
And your digestion. Walking helps that process And
it puts edge your appetite And appetite is Of
the things necessary to good digestion.
But that is not all.
The doctors will not tell you about your diaphragm
The diaphragm is sort of stage floor between the chest
and the abdomen 1t is raised lowered by the contrac
ton the swelling of the lungs. When the lungs
deeply filled the diaphragm goes down and presses upon
the liver stomach and spleen. 1t is like massage
those organs And this massage helps to keep them in
good order-especiay the liver The who regularly
practices walking will never have liver trouble.
These of the benefits derived from walking.
Nothing is here said about the mental benefits the
haration that from being in the open air, the JOY
that from knowing that ones organism is in good
working order
The creator did not intend that you should ride in
street other conveyance to the exclusion Of your
two good legs.

than an appeal to the higher court

numerous typewriter copies Of
each word said in the courtroom.
These cost 800 or more. If the fee

While his friends are soliciting

w. Ecksteat Missing From Home in
Kenosha Since April 20
Mrs. Annie Ecksteat, residing at
268 Rowland avenue, has appealed to
the police to aid her in search for
her husband, who has been missing
from Kenosha since April %. It is
thought possible that the man is in
hiding at Pullman, Ill. No warrant
has been issued for the arrest of tke
man, as the wife and children are not
satisfied that he has willingly abad-
doned them. When Ecksteat left
home he stated that he was going to
work, and as there had been no
trouble between the man and his wife
it was believed by the woman that he
had met with an accident or foul
play. For several weeks her friends
have been seeking the husband, and
finally she has appealed to the police
for aid. Police officers in surround
ing cities have been asked to make
an effort to find some trace of the
man.
