Boxing itself, of course, is one of
the best exercises to remove surplus
flesh, or, for that matter, to put on
meat. After several brisk bout with
MS sparring partners, in a warm room
Packey takes a rub down, and when
ne goes on the scales he usually finds
That he has removed a part of any
surplus he may have accumulated.
Freddie Welsh, the British light
weight champion who recently chased
Willie Ritchie hundred thousand
miles in an attempt to get a match
seldom has to do any reducing. He
is an ardent disciple of vegetarianism,
and as such he holds that moat is
responsible for the tendency to adj
posity. Pastry and sweets, as well
as all kinds of meat, are taboo, and
he lives on vegetables, crackers, toast
and an occasional mug of ale He
takes long, fast walks, INDUCES daily,
whether training or not, in boxing
bouts and other indoor exercises, fol-
lowed by warm baths, and always
keeps in a condition as SSpink" as
the Police Gazette.
Col Roosevelt is a living proof of
the efficiency of boxing and road work
to keep down weight and stay fit
The Colonel isn't any lightweight, of
course, but except for his constant
exercise he would soon resemble a
barrel-or his successor in the White
AAOUoO- vi the Few occasions That the
colonel has felt too pressed for time
to continue his regular stunts, he has
Immediately begun to take on weight
and only a speedy return to his old
habits has saved him from becoming
that universal favorite, a fat man.
Summing it all up, the best way
to reduce fat is to exercise until every
pore of the body perspires freely, and
follow this with a bath and a change
OF clothing One of the best ways to
catch a cold, however, is to neglect
the bath, rundown and change of
clothing after vigorous exercise.
The best time to begin to reduce is
when the tum-tum begins to become
too pronounced. Tt that juncture of
human affairs, reducing is compar-
attvely easy. Later the job becomes
more difficult, ~although at any stage
of the game short of actual disease
the fat man may, if he wishes, cease
to be such.
And as the ladies-well, I never saw
an obese lady doing a jog trot down
country road, but I have no doubt
that it would be effective, and as well
as a source of joy to the whole
countryside.

FOUR MORE DAYS OF
GRACE FOR CANDIDATES
ON ELECTION EXPENSES

Candidates for office at the last city
election have still four days in which
to file their reports of election ex-
penses, reports to the contrary not
wfthstanding. The law requires that
these reports be filed within fifteen
days after election day. This fell on
November 4th, consequently candidates
have until November 18th to file their
reports. There are number who have
not filed reports. The reports must be
filed whether a candidate spent any
thing or not. Some of the reports late
1y filed do not comply with the law, for
they do not specify the purpose for
which money was spent as the law re-
qutreR.

A Play Worth While.

The Bachelors Honeymoon" that
comes to the Amusement Hall on Satur-
day evening of this week, is a play that
has had tremendous runs in most of the
larger cities OF the country, and the
amusement loving people Of Jerome
should congratulate themselves upon
having the opportunity to witness it
here. The show is at Boise this week
where it Is meeting with big success.
The Medicine Hat, Alberta, Times
says:
''The play, "A Bachelors Honeymoon
at the Corona theater last night was even
more than the advance man claimed for
it. The theater was packed to its capa-
city and great many people turned
away. 1t was well staged and was a
success in every way. The audience
laughed long and loud at the many ludi-
crous situations throughout the three
acts. -

Contracts Awarded.

The School Board met on Tuesday
evening for the purpose of opening the
bids and awarding contracts for driving
the school wagons provided by the board
at its former meeting. There were some
thing over 80 bids for the various routes
and there was quite large range in
prices for the service to be performed.
However, after the bids were all opened,
the following were found to be the best
and most satisfactory bidders, and con-
tracts were ordered made with these
drivers.
Route |. Fred Varnum, at $40 90 per
month.
Route 2. Chas Roberts, at $35 90 per
month.
Route 3. r. H. Grifiths, at $50.
per month.
Route 4. Gus Callen, at $500 per
month.
Route 5. Lee Black at $1,000 per
month.
Route 6. d. +. Graham, at S37 80
per month.
Route 7. G. NJ. Robinson at S44.OO
per month.
The total number of children to be
carried on these routes Is 1903, and as the
total cost equals $3O5.5O, it will be seen
that the average cost per pupil is a frac-
ton less than $500 per month.
Special arrangements will be made by
the board for accommodating children
located at such distance from the routes
that makes it impractical to haul them
on the regular routes.
This arrangement will be tested out for
the three winter months, further service
depending upon the finances Of the dis
trict.
1t is to be hoped that the parents OF
rural children will now cooperate with
the board in its attempt to give them the
service desired, and in this manner assist
in making the service the success that is
anticipated.
