HAPPENINGS

The aim of the physical dcpart-
mcnt of the Young Mems Christian
Association is to develop Physical
Efficiency. BY this is meant the ca
pacity for work and enjoyment. Be
man S work what it may the aim
is to help him to be more fit for
that work. or at least to enable him
to keep high degree Of efficiency
to an advanced age.
If man is doing brain work he
does not need " vast amount Of
physical strength with largely de-
veloped muscles. But he does need
bodily v:gOr and good health. A
man cant do his best work if he
has poor health.
Health is governed by natural
laws. An individual in i'll health
has disobeyed some one or more OF
those laws.
One of tnc laws of health, .and
one very often unheedcd, is that
the muscles must have exercise.
Civilization has so changed condi-
tions that most pecYle do not get
sufficient exercise from tbeir regu-
lar occupation. The Y. NJ. C. A.
gymnasium meets this need
No matter what mans occupa-
tion may be he can profit by the
right kind Of exercise AN recrea-
tion. Even day laborer, by taking

MANY MARION PEOPLE UNACQUAINTED

It Is surprising to realize how many
Ipeopl of Maroon are tinacquainted
with even the simplest and common
lest rules and customs of the postal
iservicc The rridents which happen
continually at The local postoffice, the
Iinnumeable ridiculous queries which
Ithe clerks at the windows answer, If
all printed in book would make a
good many people sit UP and wonder
what is WRONG with our educational
facilities.
One of the most surprising facts
that in this connection is there are

their time.
To the business man physical
training is of the utmost value.
Exercise and recreation adapted to
his particular needs stretches the
ligaments and lendons (thus max
ing him easier in all his move
ments); brings Into vigorous ac-
tion the heart and lungs, aud slim
ulates all the vital functions. Some
of the busiest men OF the city have
been regular attendants Of the gym-
nasium for years and say they
would not give it up. They find the
time spent n that way pays large
dividends in the increased capacity
for work.
However. the neglect to take pro-
per exercise is not the only cause
for physical mobility. Wrong hab-
it's of eating, drinking, bathing,
sleeping and thinking have a large
part TO play n mems i'll health. An
effort is therefore made to instruct
members along these lines and to
induce them to live hygienic lives.
Tn conclusion. then, the aim is
not to develop athletes as such, or
flghtcrs, or even muscle, but to
help each individual to become
healthier and more fit for whatever
work he has to do for a livelihood
and to enable him TO get at least a
fair degree of enjoyment out Of
life's activities.

Clean Up once a Year.

CLEANING up the body in the spring
Sis duty everyone owes to himself
Face powders may hide rough skin,
but Peruna helps to produce q skin that
need not be hidden.
The source of good blood is good di-
gcstion. Peruna aids digestion.
Those people who have regular bodily
functions have a clear and delicate skin.
Poruna helps to restore these functions.
Most skin deformities depend upon
systemic arrangements, which cannot
be corrected by local treatments.
Peruna is a systemic remedy, reorgan-
izing and regulating the whole body.

While serving as police commission
er of New York, President Roosevelt
was instrumental in closing the sa-
looms on Sunday. Immediately a
great cry went up that he was af-
nicting the poor man. Replying Mr..
Roosevelt said:
"AIany of the denagogues who have
denounced us have reproached us, es-
lpecially because we took away the
poor mans beer and have announc-
cd that. law or no law, the poor man
had !. right to his beer on Sunday
If he wished It.. These gentry, wb n
they preach such doctrine, are SIM
lply teaching lawlessness. If the poor
man has a right to break the law
so as to get beer on Sunday Re
has right to break the law so as
TO &c. bread on any day 1t Is a
good teal more important to the poor
man that ne should get fed on week
days than that he should get drunk
on Sundays. The people who try TO
teach him that he has a right to
break the law one one day to take
beer are doing their best to prepare
him for breaking the law some other
day to take bread.
But as a after of fact, all the
talk about the law being enforced
chiefly at the expense of the poor
man Is the veriest nonsense and hyp-
locrisy. We did not hurt the poor
man all. The people whom we
hurt are rich brewers and liquor
sellers who had hitherto made mon
,ey hand over first oy violating the
Sunday law, vita the corrupt con-
|nivancc OF the police.

that they should grow hot with ang-
