probabilities will be that no two of them
follow the same calling. 1t will even be
doubtful IL any two of them are acquaint-

Few of them know the names Of any of

George M. Dixon. for instance, is BIZ

that mon who pay homage to these young
Greeks meet them later in the outside
world. They are walters at one of the
larger downtown hotels and very often
serve the men whom their physiques have
dominated in the gymnasium.
The management of the gymnasium be-
lieves that it has discovered a great Sc
cret of human nature which may be used
greatly to the benefit of mankind Ii has
found that men never grow up. man of
thirty or forty or fifty still enjoys the
sports of boyhood as much as he did in
his youth. So these gymnasiums are
turning more and more to the games
that not only furnish exercise. but that
furnish sport. In these games mingle
men of all ages, all tastes and all walks
of life. and all of these get as much pleas
ure out of volley ball or tennis or any of
the other games as they did when they
were fourteen. So more and more Of the
recreative work is being put on at the
gymnasium and less attention is being
paid to the grind of working with APP
paratuS.

is an invitation to disease.
Nearly every day we read Of men dy-

gun life as great strong fellows and
should have been good until they were
eighty. But they have forgotten that
man has been a physically active crea-
he cannot be plunged into utter inaction
with safety. few men here and there
are realizing this and are arranging for
themselves suitable exercise to keep their
muscles and organs alive The vast ma
jority. however, are paying no attention
to the body's demand for exercise and
are finding themselves physically worth
less while they should be still in their
prime.
This institution is trying to reach
lust such men. There is a tendency of
the times for men generally to awake
to the vast practical benefit that they
may receive by taking systematic ex-
ercise. Today / would estimate. how
ever, that there are less than one in
fifty office men who are actually getting
that exercise. This shows what an OPP

~ sertion that coffee is better when
made in new pot. Not many of
US can afford new coffee pot for each
meal, but we can have a thoroughly

absolute necessity for either good tea or
good coffee. In some homes the coffee

until the water boils: then let IL boil
for few minutes and set aside to cool.
When cool, empty and wash the pots

Here is recipe for coffee that never
fails: Use tablespoonful of coffee for
each cup desired and one spoonful for the
pot. Mix with a small quantity of cold
water and bring TO boil. A little white
of an egg mixed with the coffee and cold
water, or well washed eggshels, will help
to make the coffee clear, but egg is not
essential to good coffee. After the coffee
has boiled for few minutes add the

Another member OF Congress who at
regular periods goes to the gymnasium
TO get into a physically fit condition is
Charles d. Carter of Okla
homa. Mr.. Carter Is, normally a man
of great physical strength, but has a
tendency at times to put on surplus flesh
When he finds himself growing too stout
he goes to the gymnasium for a regular
course of weight-reducing exercises.
One OF the latest recrdits at the GYM
nasium fs Senator Boise Penrose of PENN
sylvania, who because Of the stress of
the present campaign has found himself
in bad physical condition. Senator Pen
roses physician IN Philadelphia recon-
mended that he take up gymnasium work
and he took out his membership in Wash
ington. II is understood that Senator
Penrose will begin with what is known
as the lazy mans course" which begins
with Turkish baths, rubs and very light
exercise. From this the idea Is to grow
into work sufficiently strenuous to develop
real strength
Senator Robert l.. Owen of Oklahoma
has a brother who is a physician and
that brother is the senator's private Sec
rotary. Aside from his secretarial work
DR. owen takes upon himself the task of
keeping the senator in flrst-class physical
condition. To this end the two of them

to counteract the strenuous mental work

land of Mr.. Taft's economy commission
is also a man who appreciates the econ
omy Of keeping physically strong through
exercise.
The local gymnasium even boasts dis
tinguished members who live out of Wash
ington. There is DR.. w. H. Garth, pas
tor of St Marks Rectory, Islip. L. l.,
who is pastor Of the vanderbilts. DR..
Garth spends some time in Washington
each year and makes his pilgrimages
the occasion for bringing himself back to
physical fitness. While in Washington he
always puts up at the Y. M. c. A., and
thereby making his visit to Washington
serve the purpose OF a sojOurn in a sam
atorium.
These men who have gained great
prominence in the outside world are not.
however, especially prominent at the
gymnasium. They are usually pretty poor
athletes and for that reason are some
times more tolerated than welcomed by
the mass of the fellows who put on the
real live stunts in basket ball. yolley ball
hand ball, tennis. swimming contests or
whatever else may be the attraction of
the hour. Much more popular than these
dignitarieS are such men F. c. Schroe-

Two young men to whom the dignitaries

George Athanas. These two young men
are sons of that Greece which mothered
the Olympic games. To him who looks
upon these young Greeks as they battle

citation of what the physical beauty of
