none. The schooner was in such filthy
condition that Capt. Gordon's suspi-

action. On arriving here he heard of
the landing of the cargo of Cinnamon

The cars were loaded with steel Slruers.
Engineer Jess, who was on the locono-

Recalls Bit of History
The Rocket, a locomotive. was buiIt
in England in 1929. This engine really
marked the beginning of the worlds
great network of railroads, it being
the first to give practical denonstra-
ton of it's ability to haul trains with
such certainty and speed as to make the
operation of railways by steam loco
motion an assured success.
About two years after the Rocket had
been put on the rails locomotives built
in England were imported and used in
the United States. One of these engines
was the John Bull, which was put In
service on the Camden and Amboy rail-
road IN New Jersey. This was followed
by the De Witt Clinton, which found a
place On the Albany and Schenectady

gers attending a sedentary life is given
by Sir William Grove, who observed
the effects of activity and inactivity
on animals. He says: "To keep itself
health, it must exert itself for its food !;
| this, and perhaps the avoiding its enc

all its organs into use, and then it ac-
QuireS its most perfect form of life. 1
have witnessed this effect myself, and
| that is the reason why 1 choose the
rabbit as an example. An estate in
SoElersatshire, which 1 once took tenn
porarily, was on the slope of the Men
dip Hills. The rabbits on one part
of it, viz, that on the hillside, were
in perfect condition. not too fat, nor
too thin, sleek, active, and vigorous,
family, excellent food. Those in the
valley, VIII ere the pasturage was rich
and luxuriant, were all diseased. most
of them unfit for human food, and
many lying dead on the fields They
had not to struggle for life, their short
life was miserable, and the death ear
Iy; they wanted the sweet uses of ad-
versity-that is, of antagonism.'
The same story may be told of thou
sands of men engaged in sedentary oc-
cupatious if every American city.
Their time is fully occupied with bust
ness, family and social engagements;
they eat a quantity of rich food; they
feel tired after the days work and do
not realize that this is an indication
that they need muscular activity.
These men reason that any further
eXertion is undesirable and that mus
cular exercise is we'll enough for boys
and athletes. but not desirable for ma
ture men who do mental work.
After acting on this principle for a
few years, the bad effects of physical
inactivity are manifested gradually in
diminished muscular strength, q
weakened heart. disordered digestion
and general symptoms of premature
old age.
These bad effects of inactivity come
slowly and their approa ch is upper
ceived. Many men do not realize that
they are approaching this condition
until they have tried some tonics and
finally consulted their physician, who
told them that they must take exer-
else. It is far better to maintain
health and vigor by a moderate
amount of exercise than to be COM
PEELED to resort to it as a remedial
measure when health is impaired. A
prominent physician made the state
ment that English business men are
healthier and enjoy life more than
Americans. because they keep up their
interest in the practice of golf. cricket,
and other sports through life. 1t is
not possible to discuss in this article
the various forms of exercise availa BILE
to business men in American cities.
but every man who realizes the great
dangers to health in a seGentary life,
and appreciates the absolute necessity
for physical exercise, may find ample
opportunity for healthful activity in
walking. golf. tennis. bicycle riding,
horseback riding, rowing and swim

some exercise under expert direction

DISAGREE THEMSELVES.
Railroads Now in SquabbIe Over
Safety Paper for Tickets.


Chicago. Sept. 1.-THE railroads of
entire country are approaching a mer-
ry row over the use of safety paper
for the printing of railway tickets.
At the meeting held Wednesday the
executive committee of the American
association of general passenger and
ticket agents brought on a hornet s
nest about their heads by agreeing to
recommend a change in the paper
which has been in general use during
the past eight or ten years. This
committee was appointed at the last
convention and was given power to act
in the matter. and now it is declared
that the action was taken without any
knowledge of the respective merits of
the two papers in competition.
The communication of the COM
mittee is that the use of the perfect
safety paper made by the Perfect Safe
ty Paper company of Franklin, Ohio,
be and after January 1. 1908, dis
continued, and that the duplex paper
manufactured by Knowlton Brothers
of Wstertown, n. Y, be adopted for
general use. The action of the asso-
citation is only recommendations. and
several roads have already declared
their purpose to ignore the recon-
