Health Is matter which was once

cannot be acquired without detention
from business. Not only does 1t In

Health requires too much sleep. too
much fresh air. too much food of vul-

D ALT1MORE, Md.-Fifty cents was

When Andrew Anderson. a conduc-

carefully wrapped package lying on
one Of the seats of his car when
nearing the barn he had no idea that
in the parcel there was 80 much
money and negotiable checks.

And then 1t developed that there
were other fat husbands and several
thin ones who had also asserted the
independence of their sex and refused
to have anything to do with the pro-
gram. Il
In spite Of the extensive arrange

said In no uncertain tone they would

There were other objections, among
them that two professionals tho a.

An hour later Anderson returned on
