We commonly associate intemperance with
one thing-strong drink. While it is true that
intemperance in the use Of alcoholic liquors is
fruitful cause of decay of bodily vigor and
consequent ill-health, perhaps the most fruit
full, there are other species Of overindulgence
which run it close.
''In everything the middle class is best All
things in excess bring trouble to men,, says
Plautus, very truly
Moderation in all things in exercise in eat
ing, in sleeping as well as drinking, is necessary
to keep the body in that perfect trim which we
characterize as good health.
Too much of any one Of these most desirable
things is, in its final results as bad as too little
It is well TO remember that all the operations OF

goal we set before u.s.
How frequently do we hear the statement
when the man without the robust constitution
looks upon one who possesses it: 81 would

If the man who in after life would give all
the money in the world for good constitution,
had had someone to do little thinking for him
when he was boy, or if he, when he arrived
at young mans age, had done little thinking
of his own, realizing that health would be his
greatest asset in after life that remark would
be very seldom heard.

l have dwelt at length on the question Of
systematic exercise as prime requisite for per-
feet health, because it is of greatest Importance.
There can be no perfect health without ex-
ercise. Brain and muscle must be given work
if they are to be kept at their prime.
This is an immutable law of nature and ap-
plies throughout the entire range of human af-
fairs. The best results are acquired if this
bodily and mental exercise is taken co-ordinate-
ly and regularly We find fine illustration Of
this truth in the professional ball player

emplify the national game in the major leagues
Mind and body are exercised together un-
der the direction of experts who have reduced
the proper conditioning of men TO almost an
exact science
To play the game as it is now played re-
quires men who can think quick and whose
bodies are in condition TO carry out the dictates
of the brain almost simultaneously, and this re-
quires practically perfect health
Time was when the professional ball player
had 4 bad name, but in these days there is no
place for the man who is Incorporate or
lazy.
To the man who works with his muscle this
matter of exercise, of course, does not apply
He must if he would keep his body sound,
avoid the other extreme Of too much exercise.
For, as Lord Lytton declares, half our dis
eases come from neglect of the body in over
work"

JAMES [. GATES is STRICKEN
Land Man, for Whom Northern Wis
consin County Was Named. Sue
cumbs to Heart Trouble.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. l.. Gates, one
OF the largest operators in northern
Wisconsin lands, died of heart fail
ure at his home here, aged 81 years.
Mr.. Gates was well known as one
OF the biggest land operators in this
part of the country and at one time
owned over 100000 acres in Wis
eonsin and Florida
He did much toward the develop
ment of central and northern Wis
consin. He was so prominent in this
particular that one of the counties
in that section of the state was
named after him. After several
years the name was changed to Rusk
county.
Mr.. Gates was born in Essex coun-
ty, n. Y. on Dec %, 1850. He was
a direct descendent of Gen. Horatio
Gates of Revolutionary fame. In
1856 his parents removed to Wis
consin, settling in Clark county.
Young Gates had little opportunity
to acquire an education and spent
much OF his time working In log-
ging camp. He became known as
one of the best loggers in that Sec
ton and handled as high as 100000
eco feet of logs in one year. He sur
yeyed and helped build the first rail-
road between MERRIAM and Neills-
vile, which is now part of the
Northwestern road
In 1879 he established the first
bank in Neillsville and later started
the mercantile establishment of
Gates, Stannard & Co. In 1887 he
came to Milwaukee. In 1898 he or
ganized the j. L. Gates Land COM
pany and took up the development
OF Wisconsin lands He was presi-
dent of this concern at the time of
his death.
