Salvation Army's General Gives Al
vice to America.
New York, April 5.-General Will
liam Booth of the Salvation Army,
whose eightieth birthday is to be cele-
brated throughout the world next Sat
urlay, has replied to the scores of con-
gratulatory cablegramsFeceived from
state governors, mayors of leading
American cities and other men of
prominence with a message to the
American people, as follows:
"After spending eighty years in this
world, with almost countless opportu-
mites for observing the purposes for
which men generally live and the dis
appointments they so commonly suffer,
it seems reasonable that l should have
formed some opinion as to the course
they ought to follow If they are to
have any real success.
$50 on this my eightieth birthday
tell the American people this: If they
will seek the honor of God, the reign
of righteousness, the welfare of the
friendless poor and the riches that en-
dure forever with the same self sacri.
ticing avidity with which they seek
the wealth and pleasures of this world
they will have good chance of find
ing that life Of satisfaction which now
80 often eludes them and of building
up pattern nation for the world to
initiate"

CITIZENS S MILE RACE
How to Train.


For all who may contemplate entering
this race, the following suggestions
are important:
Long walks and slow jogging should
always be given course of training for
distant running. Whenever difficulty
in breathing is felt, the athlete should
walk until his powers of respiration have
recovered. He should never sit or stand
around uncovered, but as soon as his
work is done, cover up warmly until an
opportunity to be rubbed down is given
him, and then dry, warm clothes should
follow.
While running, the athlete should stop
just as soon as he feels pain in his side,
or the front part of his lower leg be-
comes sore.
The diet should be simple, sleep abun-
dant. Omit tobacco, all alcoholic liquors,
tea, coffee, pickles, pastry, dumplings
and the like.
The time to start to prepare for the
run is now. Do not wait, but pitch in
and get the winters stiffness out of the
muscles.
Further advice will be given from time
to time within the next few weeks.
For additional information watch the
columns of this paper. In few days
detailed announcement of the necessary
steps to enter will be made. In the
meantime those desiring to enter can dc
so by communicating with THE CITIZEN

TROOPS GUARDING RUINS.
South Fort Worth Fire Started by
Cigarette Stub.


Fort Worth, Tex, April 5.-To boys
and carelessly thrown cigarette stub
is generally attributed the fire which
destroyed property in South Fort
Worth valued at $3,000,00O, caused the
death of J. ]. Newton, a bank EN-
ployee, the serious injury of six per-
sons, rendered 300 families homeless
and caused the temporary idleness Of
several hundred workmen employed in
the manufacturing plants and business
houses burned.
The burned area is under guard of
state troops to prevent looting, and
the entire fire department is still en-
gagged in extinguishing the burning
embers, which, with the wind still
high, spasmodically spring into flames.
A mass meeting was held and relief
committees We're named, but as the
burned residence quarter was popu-
lated largely by those in comfortable
circumstances little monetary relief
will be needed.
