Over-Exercise Harmful,
Says Munsey Writer

More men In the past generation
have been injured through over-exercise
than from under-exercise," writes DR..
William Lee Howard in Munsey's.
Like most things In the United States
physical training and exercise have
been overdone.
IF you win take notice, you will OBJ
serve how common II Is for former
athletics to succumb to some germ
disease. It Il not because they were
athletes, but because, as athletes, they
expended energy instead of making and
storing It. I do not believe that any
contestant in that heart-breakng stunt
the Marathon run, Will ever have IN
him reserve force to Withstand a good
when he needs force and cell endurance
It will be found wanting. The heart
has expended much of its intended re-
Serve force When called upon at
forty-five years of age to put out latent

at its growing period that II has be-
come soft and inelastic.
The man who has led a sedentary
and careless life, and who, when told
he Is getting too fat. at once Jumps
into some form Of violent exercise, Is
injuring himself-throwing away all
chances Of making himself germ-proof-
What such a man needs Is slow, COM
paratively effortless exercise, such as
walking or moderate swimming. But
II must be kept UP systematically-as
regularly as his sleep.
THE man who accumulates dollars

something inside him goes wrong.

bags of dollars are useless"

Many Historic Events

, Forty-nine years ago today citizens
Of Washington were in a panic, the
; Capital being threatened by Confederate
troops, and General Mcclellan was ap-
pointed September 2, 1862, to command
the defense of the city. Two years
later to a day, General Hood evacuated
Atlanta, and General Sherman's army
marched in.
As an anniversary Of great catastro-
Plies, today is also notable in history.
The great fire at London began Sep
TENDER 2, 1865, in a bakers shop in Pud-
ding Lane, destroying 1900 homes in
four days.
Pennsylvania adopted its State con-
stitution September 2, 1890 and on this
date in 1892, 1900 persons, including 100
priests, were slain In a three days mas
sacre at Paris.
Today also is the birthday anniversary
Of Eugene Field, the poet, he being
born at St. Louis, September 2, 1850. He
died at Chicago, November 4, 1895.

Fence, Boy Gets a Box

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. AS a
recompense for his plucky but dis
astrous attempt to scale the wall of
the Phillies' ball park, Broad and
Huntingdon streets, when. owing to
his lack of funds he tried to see the
game free, thirteen-year-old Thomas
Ketner, of 1445 Mayfield street, was
given a seat in a box, from which he
witnessed the contest with great de-
light.
The boy had expressed a desire to
See the double header, but because he
had not the proper amount to entitle
him to enter the grounds through the
gates he risked his life shortly after
noon by a climb on the Fifteenth
street side Of the grandstand. When
he was about half way up he col
lapsed from the strain and crashed to
the sidewalk, breaking both bones Of
his left wrist. So touched by the lads
plight was William Shetsline, the
manager of the Philadelphia, that he
offered the youngster a seat in the
box, which Ketner accepted after he
had been treated at the Samaritan
Hospital.

AND F|REMEN MAY
HAVE LATERDEF|c|T
September Payments Assur-
ed, BUT October May
Fall Short.

While the pensioners Of the Police
and Fire Departments win receive the
full amount Of their pensions for the
month Of September. it is probable
there will be reduction In October,
due to the failure Of Congress to pass
the bill for the creation Of police and
hremen's relief and retirement fund
The Commissioners. at the next ses-
sion OF Congress, again will urge the
passage of this bill. which win insure
to pensioners each month the full
amount Of their pensiones. The meas
ure provides that any deficiency which
may exist In the fund each month shall
be made UP from the sale Of all licenses
other than liquor licenses. The PEN
sion fund IL made up under the present
system from fines in the Police Court,
receipts from dog licenses, the pro-
ceeds Of the sale OF unclaimed property
In the custody of the Police Department,
and 81 month contributed by each
member Of the Police and Fire Depart
ments.
Because of the reduction in the num-
Der Of Police Court fines during the
months of January, February, March.
April. and May, there was deficiency
in the fund.

considers purity above all else.
She realizes that the air is alive with
