DOCTORS VIEW OF FAT MEN
Americans Surplus Flesh Saps Energy
and Ruins Appearance

Washington, Oct. 30.-American
men are too fat. They are carrying
around lot of surplus flesh which saps
their energy, ruins their appearance and
offers no compensation. They should get
busy, preferably with the Swedish phys
zeal culture system, and lose the fat.
This, in effect, is the conclusion
which Surgeon J. A. Murphy makes
in his report to the Navy Department
1t is based upon his examination of APP
plicants for enlistment
"The majority of American men and
boys are muscularly weak from the
waist line up, the legs usually showing
up well as regards strength. " DIR. Muir
ply said. Many are strong, but
through excess of weight, usually fat,
prove relatively weak
These types, with few exceptions,
have rounded backs, protruding abdo-
mems, dropping heads and fat chests.
Any attempt at effort lacks power, be-
cause orientation is disturbed and the
normal straight line of thrust through
the bones and joints is lost.

AUTO RUNS INTO DEER
Breaks Animals Leg But 1t Escapes

Hammonton, " J., Oct. 2O.-As
young Laurence Edwards was driving
his auto from the county boulevard.
the main road from New York and
Philadelphia to Atlantic City, two deer
dashed in front of MS ear, four miles
south Of this place To avoid striking
one of the deer. Edwards swung his
ear sharply to one side. Just then the
second deer dashed to the same spot
and the ear struck him. The Jolt threw
Edwards back heavily in his ear, bruis-
ing his shoulder.
The youth drove to the house of
Game Warden William b. Loder. who
went to the place Of the accident He
found signs that the struck deer had
escaped ON three legs, the fourth evi-
dently having been broken. In its
rush the frightened animal had run into
eovey Jf quail. as a dead bird was
found by the warden.

FORD has WIERD DELIVERY
John NJ. Ward Says Pitcher of Buffalo
Feds Has the Corkscrew
Ball

John VI. Ward. business manager of
the Brooklyn Federal League club, de
clares that the corksorew ball-hereto-
fore a dictionary product-has been uu-
covered by Russell Ford, a pitcher of
the Buffalo Federals. 1t was Ford, by
the way. VINO first used the emery de
livery, legislated out of use by the Ma
tiOnal and American league presidents
on the eve of the last world 5 series.
"F'ord has a real cOrkscrew deliv-
erv,' said John M. Ward yesterday.
At least | have stood behind him and
that IS what it seems to he. He throws
the bill with pretty fair turn of speed,
as fast, in fact. as the ordinary curve.
"The ball comes with no rotary mo-
tion. At least the rotation is so slight
that all the seams show. Perhaps it is
an optical illusion. A slight wavering
of the stitching might account for the
phenomenon. But so far as | could OBJ
serve, the ball came up in a corkscrew
motion, falling away spirally as it ap-
proached.
81 have never seen anything quite
so weird in all my experience. Batters
hit inches over or inches under in such
manner as to prove their efforts simply
guesswork. Why, no catcher yet has
been able TO receive this delivery. The
pitch hits the baekStop on the shins as
often as it hits his glove.
Ford has tried to show the new
wrinkle to the best pitchers in the Fed
eral League. Mordecai Brown. Tom Sea
ton and all the rest could not grasp the
first idea of its manipulation. This ball
is the freakiest of freak deliveries. 1t
may never amount to anything because

NEVADA mineral OUTPUT
State, Famous During Glorious Days of
comstock Lode, Still Leads in
Silver Production

Washington, Oct. S0.-Eevaia is es-
sentialiy u metal-produeing State, me-
tallie products constituting more than
IS per cent. of the total value Of the
States mineral output, according TO
the United States geological survey.
Though Nevada is at present Of much
less relative Importance as mining
State than il was in the ''Slory" days
OF the famous Comstoek lode. ii con
tlRus TO rank first in the production of
silver, which IS third among the miner
al products of the State. The most im-
portant mineral product of Nevada is
copper, in the production of which Ne
vada ranks fifth among the States, Gold
mining ranks second among the State 5
mineral industries. The, production OF
copper increased from S6,47I, ,494
pounds in 1912 to 90,69S,751 pounds
in 1918, but with decline in value
from sl4,26S,7S7 70 S1+.057,9Sl.
Copper mining is one of the new indus
tries of the State. 1t did not begin on
an important scale until 1905, with
the development of the Ely district in
White Pine county. In 1907, prior TO
the development of the Ely district, the
copper production of the State was less
than 2,o00, eco pounds, but in 1918
it exceeded 90,000,000 pounds.
In sympathy with the general tend
eney in the decreased production of
gold, the output of gold in Nevada de-
creased from 650.94S fine ounces, val
ued at s1S,456,1S0. in 1912, TO 570.-
$50 fine ounces. valued at Sl1,795, $50
in 1918. More than so per cent OF the
gold produced in Nevada in 1912 and
1918 came from the Golifeld and Ton
opah districts,
The production of silver increased
from 1860. .06S fine ounces. valued at
SS,SS6,9T4, in 1912, 10 16,090,0SS fine
ounces, valued at S9,I1S,+10, in 1918.
About 20 per cent. Of the silver output
is derived from the Tonopah district.
To what extent the Comstock lode in
Churchill county has fallen from its
high estate in the production OF silver
is indicated by the fact that in 1876,
when this famous district was at its
zenith, the output was over 100000
ounces of silver, and in 1913 the total
production from Churchill county was
less than 100000 ounces.
The total value of the mineral prod
ucts of Nevada in 1913 amounted 10
s37.S42,0S4, against sSe,11t.S2S in
1912.

Hard Luck In His Old Age.

From royal magician to old-age PEN
sioner, compelled by poverty to pawn
his clothes-this in a sentence sums
up the career of Mr.. John w. Holden,
who is now residing at Goldsmith's
row, Hackney, recovering from a Sc
rious' illness says the London Mail.
This tall, thIn, courtly old gentleman
was at one time almost at the head of
his profession, and gave Command
performances once before Queen Vic,
toria and twice before King Edward
and Queen Alexandra, when they were
prince and princess of Wales. THE
trick that King Edward liked best
said the old magician to a newspaper
representative recently, was that OF
the sword through the body. His mai
esty, after my Sandringham perform
ance, smoked a cigar with me, and
chatted over this and other tricks"

MUCH IN LITTLE
"How you like this? ?"

How you like this?'
"VAL MULLEN"
This brief letter was received By
the Ardmoreite from Denver Colo,
under date of last Monday. Enclosed
with the letter was a picture taken
from the Denver Post showing crowd
of workmen shoveling snow from in
front of the office of the newspaper.
So the letter was not so brief as ii
may seem. 1t tells a long story o!
how man can sit by fire in Colo
RADIO, while we mop the sweat from
our brow in Oklahoma. 1t tells the
story of a state where the season is
too short to feed itself and tells how
states like Oklahoma must raise the
bread and potatoes that fill the tables
of those people. May be sour grapes
because we could not afford the lux
ury of a Colorado trip, but we would
rather hear the corn of Oklahoma
grow on "A still moonlight night than
to hear the rattle of the snow scrap
ers in Colorado We would rather see
the big American beauty rose grow
and blossom in the sunlight of Oklaho
ma, than to whiff the aroma of the hot
house plants of the Rocky Mountain
region. We would rather make love
to our own wife under the shade of
a big tree in the back yard than to
climb Pixies Peak with another when
the snow is on the ground in July. We
would rather be here where the cool
breeze of the evening comes like a
balm to heal the tire Of the day, we
would rather sleep where the zephyrs
can play at will than to lock out the
frosted air of the mountains. We
would rather meet up with one old
tried and true friend and talk crops
and politics and pigs with him than
to meet all the society folk whom we
never knew. Have a good time, Val.
Here's hoping you will return with
enough energy slowed away from the
summer trip to divide among all your
friends.

Habits.

Habit may be either a strong help
past peril, or a fetter that holds its
victim helpless. Some young people
never consider habit forming at all;
1t is not taken into account in their
lives. They form none but accidental
and unconscious ones. If asked what
their fixed habits are, they will laugh
at the question. They know so little
about it that they think they could
change any habit they have in day.
Yet in reality they are binding them
selves in chains of iron and making q
free and happy life impossible for
themselves later on.-Selected.
