A CHEERFUL VIEW,

There is other hot weather advice
than rest" and keep quiet" recipe.
Did you ever hear of a boy, active
as a cricket, damaged by the sun!
Do people romping at picnics or
sweating in fishing boats impair
their health? Does the furious
zlabors of baseball player, pres
piring, dripping rag of dust, end the
season weakling? Summer is a
tonic: sun beating on bare skin fills
the nerves with new life-zest. Go
on long walks, tramp the woods
work in the garden. Free, open
sun-cured air is medicine. It is
only the close house, the choked
street, the dead gasping alleys thai
kill folks. Man was born for torric
climes. He is naked in nature anc
an exotic among the SHOWS. Breathe
fresh air and the heat wont harm
you. H. -.

Beverly, Mass. July president
Taft took the first step in his own
conservation policy by signing orders
of withdrawal covering 8,495,731 acres
Of power site, phosphate and petrol
cum lands. He also appointed the five
engineer officers of the army who ere
to constitute a board which will pass
upon the reclamation projects to be
completed under the recent appropria.

The president has summoned SEQ.
Rotary Ballinger for a conference,
when various phases of the work to
be done in the near future will be
gone over. sa
The withdrawal orders signed by the
president are the first specifically au:l
thoriZed by law. The right Of the
executive to- make withdrawals has
been questioned in suits now pending
In the federal courts and the president
secured the passage Of a bill by the
last congress giving him definitely the
authority to withdraw lands pending
special legislation for their disposis
ton. The bill was made an admins:
tration measure and was finally aps
proved the day congress adjourned.
