How to Keep Healthy.

heep cheerful Hunting trouble
ruins more nerves than trouble when
it is found.
Keep alert minded. There is moth
ing like getting in a mental rut to
make one a hypochondriac.
Keep clean. The close connection
of the pores of the skin and good
health is being better understood
yearly.
Keep active. The inert, lazy woman
who won't exercise is usually the one
who is always growing about her
health.
Keep your feet warm. More cold is
taken through the ankles than in any
other way, so do not wear low shoes
all winter.
Keep out of debt. If there is any
thing warranted to worry one to
death it is money troubles. Care will
even kill the nine lived cat and what
gives more care than bunch of debts
with no money to pay themY
Keep away from drugs. The fond
ness of our American women for dos
ing themselves on the slightest provo
cation is a menace to the health of
the race. We deserve everything bad
the president of Harvard said of us as
regards the medicine habit.

Delegates Chosen Tins Far
in Race.
Secures Forty of Fifty-siX Dur!
ing Week.
TENNESSEE GETS INTO LINE.

Washington. April 20.-A bulletin
issued from the Taft headquarters
takes the following claims as to Mr..
Taft's recent strength:
The total number of delegates
thus far elected is $40. Secretary
Tafts supporters claim 27S of them,
PAP being uncontested, to which
SHOULD be ADDED four from Oklahoma
and eight from Tennessee, total of
254. Fifty-six delegates to the Re-
publican national convention were
elected this week, and forty of them
are pledged to Secretary Taft, either
through instructions or by virtue of
relations of preference.
THE situation in Tennessee has
been cleared by the declaration of
w. J. Oliver, whose services as an
antbTa leader had been in demand.
to the effect that he supports the can
didacy of Secretary Taft, locally, and
that no matter how the contests in
Tennessee may be decided, the dele
gates seated will be for the war
secretary.
This virtually takes delegates in
Tennessee out of the contested col
umn and places them in the Taft
column"
