THE INDOORS WORKER AND HEALTH.

DTHE SOMEWHAT frequent sindispositions
 N to which President Wilson is subject are noted with regret and some uneasiness He has been more or less upset several times dur ing the past eight months. So slight an expo sure as lower temperature encountered in an automobile ride has just laid him up for day or two.
 The Presidents experiences are very like those that most men of sedentary habits have to meet. It is true that president has to en- counter an extraordinary nervous strain. Yet the physical conditions of his work like ven |ulation, etc. must be exceptionally favorable
 Most men give slight attention to measures of health preservation. They would not hesi- tate to work extra hours day if they saw some addition to their income in it. But ten minutes a day for simple gymnastics that might greatly increase their working capacity are impossible.
 Ifcit pays MT. Wilson, with the tremendous pressure on his time, to give a half hour or more a day to a physical culture trainer, surely 1t would pay the ordinary nanto devote a little time daily to physical exercise.
 Few people to-day are good walkers. Country people take pride in their horses or motor cars. They often look down on people who ytramping, as to be pitied for their in ability to own horse flesh City people usually look at a mile walk as prohibitive A whole in any large town, to do the work formerly done by householders.
 Probably the hours President Wilson has spent golfing have been more effective than all that his trainer has been able to do. Not every one can join q golf club or enter gymnasium classes But every one can walk or take sim lple calisthenicsl Nor is it necessary to buy a handsome system of painted chest weights slther.

HEADING THE ADVERTISEMENTS.


 T TT USED TO BE an old time joke that some 1 people were 30 fond of newspapers that they even re ad the advertise semeIlts.
 That might have been humorous remark years ago. At that period some merchants would run an advertisement for a whole year uncha nged Clothing dealers would start in ad- vertising January first with notice of over coats for sale and would still keep it running in July.
 To-day people read the advertising as a matter of business. The women read it just as farmer reads his price current or banker reads the financial news. They thereby get ideas as to oihow they can save on household or personal expenses. Probably a majority of the women turn first fo the advertising Of their fa4 vorite merchants, and then read the news later.
 The men also read the advertising carefully. their own they are interested in the advertising Hence it is, perhaps unnecessary to suggest to ing columns are worthy of the most careful at tention They are giving that attention to these notices now.
 Still it is worth while to say that there is no time when advertising is worth such careful attention as in midsummer. All kinds of mer- chants have the proposition before them of cleaning out their stocks before cool weather comes on. That takes a good deal of publicity. The goods won't move of themselves. The pulp lie must be told about them and in some detail. The story of.what is happening in the stores will be found in, the advertising columns of this newspaper. Most of the newspaper readers are lseeingit and it will repay their closest scrutiny
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-07-22
READING THE MURDER STORIES

rT@HIS NEWSPAPER remarked the other day.
 A on publicity as a deterrent to crime. Another problem is the effect on the public mind of the constant crime stories in the news papers
 Booth Tarkington, on being interviewed at a New England summer resort expressed the opinion that the people of that section are de- voting an inordinate amount of time to reading about recent murder mysteries. Probably the same could be said of the newspaper readers elsewhere.
 Mr. Tarkington felt that it was not time we'll spent True, it diverts the public mind from the larger interests of government and social progress.
 persistent reader of murder eases may acquire certain amateur experience in crime He becomes familiar with detective methods. It may be said that this gives one experience of human nature But this information deals largely with morbid types of personality. It is not useful in daily life
 Yellow newspapers also distort the true significance. of crime. If they must thus deal with the dark side of human nature they should at least tell the truth and strip the gloss from passion Often they apologize for it or make it alluring
 Inordinate interest in crime is morbid But these sensational and dramatic crimes often convey a great deal of information as to public morals. They are the sensational results flow | ing from false standards of life. They reveal unwholesome conditions, that might long pass lunnoticed did they not break out in some start l. ling climax. The newspaper that simply tells the plain truth about these tragedies, and lets the facts speak for themselves and point their Town moral, performs a service that has value.

BOOM FOR PENNEY TO START
 AT SHEEP ROAST

Every Republican town committee man in the state, as we'll as the State Central committee, and the most prominent members of ts1e party will be invited to the field day and outing which the Republicans of this city pro- pose to have at Aerodrome park on Saturday, August 15. The State Gen.. traI committee will meet here in the morning and an effort will be made to have the Republican convention held here this fall.
 Invitations to attend the gathering on August 18th have been sent United States Senators Frank B. Brandegee and George P. Mclean the probable nominee for governor, National Com 1II1tteeman Henney of Hartford, for- mer Congressman D. J. 1il1 or Nor walk and John Q. TiIson of New Ha- ven. Probably the Henney boom will be officially launched at this gather ing.
 A parade will be formed at the Re publican club in Fairfield avenue about 12:30 and. headed by the Wheeler S Wilson band, will march through the principal streets before taking trolley cars for the aerodrorne. A sheep bake will be held there, the tickets for which will be $1 per plate.
 The Tippicanoe chorus. frank Braithwaite, Loren Delbridge and other singers will entertain and there will be athletic sports and possibly sbasebal1 game.
