Outing a message for those who try
to play athletic games when they are
unfit A boy, for instance, is little
weak after a mild attack Of an infec-
tious fever. pneumonia, influenza or
tonsilitis, and his heart is beating
faster and more violently than it
should on exertion. But the team
wants him or he wants record, or
both, and away he goes into training.
Suddenly one day the heart can no
longer drive on it's overload Of blood
and down goes the runner or oarsman
in an attack of heart failure"-and
athletics gets all the discredit. The
same danger lies when there is no
training, the sport being purely inform
al; it lies also where the girl just con-
valescent persists in taking part in a
long-anticipated dance. Only that
phase OF common sense which is mani
tested in common prudence is neces-
sary to avoid such perils.

two expeditions will start at opposite

1t is not at all impossible that the
betting fraternity will get into the
game and big stakes be placed on the
event. Commander Peary suggests
that one exploring party might get to
the pole only twenty-four hours ahead
of the other, which would be closer

anger with a smile. In short. keep on

And now comes a new social dis
ease which this panacean smile Is
guaranteed to cure. If man had not
already crystslizcd his features into a
perpetual grin he is now advised to
smile to prevent his committing sui

by writer in medical publication.
"Play, smile and don't kill yourself. +"

patron of suicide pier. He never
smiles; therefore he seeks death as a
relief for his cheerlessness.
Let us harbor still q kind thought
for the man who refuses to smile at

would discourage smiling; merely let
us not make the rule mandatory. AT
least permit the poor fellow some lit.

Some of the pictures of Captain
Bartlett look almost human. but there

ular in which he has pipe in his
mouth that would cause stampede Of

that the Peary party made quick time
