Best Exercise.

The best kind of exercise is the
kind that makes you forget you are
exercising-in other words, play, says
physician. It's good scheme to
have some more or less strenuous
game for hobby-golf or bowling or
tennis or archery-anything that ap-
peals to you and affords exercise with
Interest. But this is not saying that
systematic exercise is not a good
thing, too.

Murder is not uncommon among
animals, murder" in this sense being

which, at the time of migration, eth

proceeding to the Democratic national
convention at Baltimore. They came
east on the "Houn' Dawg" special.
headed by former Gov. David r.
Francis. and we're so filed with enthu-
siasm that It was fairly running over.
An informal reception in honor of
the Speaker was held at the Continental
Hotel and a glowing tribute was given
him by Mr., FRAMES. Mr.. Clark was
told that the delegation intended to
collect "houn' dawgs" in the Balti-
more market and make a denomination
unique in the history Of national con-
ventions.
Greetings by Francis.
Mr.. Francis declared it was no desc
Grafton of the Sabbath to salute a dis
tinguished representative Of the peo-
pie, who was the choice Of large
number of his fellow citizens for the
Presidency.
I'VE hive stopped a few minutes here
to pay our respects TO you," he con-
tinued, mot only as a distinguished
Missourian, not only as the Speaker OF
the House of Representatives., who has
made a highly creditable record, but as
the Democrat who has been already Sc
lected as the standard bearer OF the
party by line of States extending
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from Canada to the Gulf. and who has
been the recipient of far more votes
of those who have expressed a prefer
ence than any other man.

At one tims these shares were in high
favor, but of late they have been weak

Another feature was the first record

reported at 1924 for the stock.
There wasn't any special activity in
anything on the local Exchange What
few sales were made did not show any

this stock was weak, being offered at

CRY FOR PRUNES.

Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
1--WE want prunes."
This cry is ringing in the ears of
the North Side representatives of the
Department of Health and Charities
daily. 1t comes from those very poor
who look to the city for their support.
"Why?" inquiries the department.
The demand becomes a roar
"W-E WANT P-R-U-N-S."
So it's up to DR.. E. R. Walters, di-
rector of the department, to buy his
poor patients some prunes. The poor
people of the North Side can't get
along without them. why" they say,
at is preposterous that we should not
be given prunes-it is an outrage"
The department started to give
baskets of food supplies away several
year ago. At first California hams
were put in and good things like that.
Altogether there were about fourteen
articles, including sugar, flour ,pota-
toes and canned goods. 1t was really
very nice market basket, and the
city even supplied the basket too.
The storehouse was in the cellar of
the old Allegheny city hall, and soon
it proved wonderfully popular. Never
had a small store such trade.
Well, Director Walters finally found
he couldn't afford the hams. Other
things were cut off. Now the charity
patients must be content with pota-
toes, -four, canned goods, beans and
rice. So the demand for the prunes.
Everyone wants prunes.
