Health In WALKING Downstairs.


Not so long ago men walked briskly
for a mile or two, two or three times
a day or oftener. and thought nothing
of it. Now when we want to go a
mile we ride. The elevator has taken
away the exercise for the feet that
used to be obtained In going up and
coming down the stairs. So far as 1t
is of use in facilitating ascent In the
high buildings it is an advantage. It
would be probably much better. how
ever. If it were not used quite so much
for coming down and II people took
advantage Of the descent to strengthen
important leg muscles and dissipate

One of the industries of Mitchell
that has made as much or more
growth than any other is 'tThe Only
Way" Nineteen months ago Walt
Smith started the place with a press
board, tailor's goose and a gasoline
stove and now it is a complete cleo
trio shop. Instead of work leaving
Mitchell to be done as it use to, Mr..
Smith has over thirty agencies ship
ping clothes in to be cleaned, re-
paired and dyed, aside from indi-
viduals all over the state sending
packages by mail and express.
We also learn that he is Installing
a complete machinery plant. the first
and only one for Mitchell. A power
extractor, a machine for the rapid
drying of clothes, was set up a few
days ago and is now in running or
der. Two dry cleaning machines are
on the way from Chicago and are
expected at any time. There will be
no time lost in putting these ma
chimes in working order.
Mr.. Smith has had years of city
experience in the dyeing and cleaning
business and with his star of expert
enced tailor helpers, together with
the machinery plant when it is all
completed. will be able to turn out
cleaning or dyeing second to none in
the West. Mitchell will have some
thing to be proud of.
