GEO. VI. CONDOR,

THE woods are full Of good candi
dates for the position OF superintend-
ent OF the Detroit schools, and we are
mighty well pleased that our first
pick proved TO be man or such
sterling value that New York doubled
his salary 10 keep him. said School
Inspector George NJ. Condor. Satur
day, discussing the refusal OF Prof
McAndrew to take the Detroit super.
lntendency.
1T is true that McAndrew had
virtually said that he would come 70
Detroit though he had not definitely
promised" said Mr.. Condor. But
when 1t was proposed TO double his
salary In New York he said that in
Justice TO his family he would have 10
reconsider the matter And any man
OF good judgment would have done
the same.
las for the situation with regard
! to another candidate, there Is not the
least doubt that We will hold our 10
votes. and we will possibly have 9TH
ers As a matter or fact we would
have had more than 10 votes II there
had been more than one ballot when
the board voted In favor OF Mean
drew. and We will likely get those
additional votes now.
The most that the opposition seems
TO be getting from the inspectors
whom they class as doubtful Is the
expression OF an opinion that they
have nothing personal against Supt.
Martindale, and they would be will
| ing 10 vote for his retention If he
seemed TO be the only available candi-
date. But | would take that position
myself. Martindale is undoubtedly
the best man In Detroit for the place.
but there are lots of other candidates
and Martindale has already been
beaten
The schools are not going 10 SUI.
fer even II superintendent should
not be Immediately appointed. Some
cities have run along for six months
without a superintendent. And We
claim TO have a splendid organization
here Things would run along very
nicely several months without a
superintendent II necessary But the
matter may be settled, Thursday
night, or, II not then. 1t may be set
tied in the board meeting two weeks
later"

Some OF the men under considera-
ton are known TO be receiving larger
salaries than the $4,000 at present
provided In Detroit but there is a
feeling that the salary here might be
raised to $4,000 TO obtain desirable
man. and 1t is believed that the pos
sibility OF an increase TO $4,000 after
few years might weigh with some

THE NEGLECTED
ABDOMINAL MUSCLES
~ A PHYSICIAN


The muscles OF the abdomen are
the most neglected muscles In the
body nowadays. Look at the sagging
pauches OF the men you meet on the
streets and at the fearful and wonder
full contraptions OF steel and whale
bone that women have TO wear to
maintain the straight front" effect
they desire, and Judge as TO whether
the abdominal muscles OF the average
man or woman are what they ought
to be.
Weak, habby abdominal muscles are
the source OF many Ills They not only
invite fat. which always collects
when things are quiet and where
there is little strain. but they are
indirectly responsible for troubles
more real and serious than mere fat.
Thus they induce constipation by suf-
fering the lntestines to sag forward
and hang In a position unfavorable
to healthy action. And through con-
stipatlon, combined with the unnat-
ural drag imposed upon the anchor.

tend toward neuresthenia.
The cure for fiabby abdominal mus
Giles Is absurdly simple. Bend. Bend
backward and forward and sidewise.
Stretch TO your full height with your
arms extended high above your head.
then swing your arms downward and
forward till your fingers touch your
toes-or till they are as close to your
toes as you can get them withou.
bending your knees. Do this a score
of times each night and morning. Put
your arms akimbo and bend your
body TO and fro sidewise. Always re-
member to breathe deeply when ex-
ercising thus.
You can supplement these exercises
by drawing the muscles in question
tight while holding the breath hard
and throwing the intestines forward
against the abdominal wall. This ex-
ercise can be practiced at any time
OF the day, without attracting any at
tention. You will find that these ex-
ercises go a long way toward elimin.
ating the heavy feeling that goes with
torpid and congested liver.
And you will find that they will
work wonderful change In your gen
eral health II you are faithful to them
for two or three months.

POLICEMAN LOCKS UP
BROTHER AS DRUNK

A little drama OF brother against
brother" was staged In Justice Stems
court, Saturday morning, when Pa.
trolman Maurice McNamee appeared
as complainant against his brother,
Hiram, whom he had arrested on Q
charge OF being drunk.
Maurice declared that he had found
II necessary TO lock up his brother,
as the latter was drinking heavily,
and, according TO the officer, was
drinking up the little nest egg left
by another brother, now dead.
Hiram. according TO Maurice, mar
ried his brothers widow, and Maurice
said that he felt that 1t was his duty
to his dead brother to see that the
latter's widow was protected against
Hiram's thirst for liquor. He asked
Justice Stein to send Hiram up for
80 days"
Justice Stein released the defend
ant, and advised the patronman 10
swear out a warrant against Hiram,
charging him with disturbing the
peace.
