AVOID EXTREME FATIGUE

EXERCISE that brings into action every
muscle of the body is absolutely necessary
in the attainment OF health and perfect
physical development
Tired brain workers especially need exer-
else to renew the supply of blood in the
brain, for new blood will give clear thought
and new ideas.
To avoid that "all in'' feeling after any
violent or unusual exercise, Sloan's Liniment
should be used as rundown.
Mr.. Harry K. Gilman, instructor of ath-
letics, All Warren Street, Roxbury, Mass,
writes: During my connection with ath-
letics and athletes, will say that have used
Sloan's Liniment in extreme cases of fatigue
after physical exertion, where an ordinary
rub would not prove beneficial, with splendid
success. have also used it in massaginp
elderly men afflicted with rheumatism.

not only repugnant to common honesty,
but is plainly obnoxious to the federal
statute known as the Sherman or anti
trust law.
Contempt For Honesty.
But among the many kinds of evil,
social, industrial and political, which is
our duty as a nation sternly to combat,
there is none at the same time more
base and more dangerous than the
greed which treats the plain and sim
pie rules of honesty with cynical con
tempt if they Interfere with making a
profit, and as nation we cannot be
held guiltless if we condone such ac-
ton. The man who breaches hatred
of wealth honestly acquired who in
culcates envy and jealousy and SLAM
derous ill will toward these of his fell
lows who by thrift energy and indus
try have become men of means is
menace to the community. But his
counterpart in. evil is to be found in
that particular kind of multimillion-
aire who is almost the least enviable
and is certainly one of the least adj
mrable of all our citizens, man Of
whom 1t has been well said that his
face has grown hard and cruel while
his body has, grown soft, whose son is
a fool and his daughter foreign prin-
cess. whose nominal pleasures are at
best those of a tasfeless and extrava.
CANT luxury and whose real delight,
whose real life work, is the accumula
ton and use of power in its most sor-
did and least eevating form. In the
chaos Of an absolutely unrestricted
commercial indiyidualism under mod
ern conditions this is a type that be-
comes prominent as inevitably as the
marauder baron became prominent in
the physical chaos of the dark ages
We are striving for legislation to min
imize the abuses which give this type
its fourishmg prominence, partly for
the sake of what can be accomplished
by the legislation itself and partly be-
cause the legislation marks our par
ticipation i'll a great and stern moral
movement to bring our ideals and our
conduct into measurable accord

NEW YORK. Oct. 3l.-When Johnny
McGraw announced a few days ago that
he had forty-tour players on his roster
for next season, he didn't mean that these
men would start the season OF 1909 with
the Giants. The chances are that not

more than twdnty-four in that party, and
this means that lot more young material

will not be made UP OF untried youngsters
and minor league players.
