this tube is infamed you have rum

when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflama-

Exercise.

a. ,&S0f6foc.
The surroundings go a long
way toward making exercise
beneficial. That work at which
one wins his daily bread is tire
some usually. 1t Is restraint. He
works because he must earn
money And there is just as
much physical unfitness among
workingmen as there is among
business men.
Light exercise that is enjoyable
often does much more good than
heavy exercise that is forced.
That Is why games which are
founded on exercise do much
more good than the same time
spent in housecleaning, making
barrels or hauling lumber.
Recreation is the first cousin Of
exercise, and when the two are
combined the results are always
more commendable. Exercise
without mental response is an
impossibility.
Exercise should embrace all
physical processes-circulation Of
the blood, tearing down Of worth
less tissue. upbuilding of live
tissue, fresh air and all else that
goes to feed every portion of the
body and keep 1t healthy. And
work at the bench ofttimes lacks
one, two or half a dozen essen
tlals and is therefore muscular
abuse rather than muscular use.

The first blow came after they had

go with a left hook which connected
with Murphy's body. 1t was a hard
punch and served the purpose for
which it was intended. 1t brought
Murphy's guard down from the head,
then White shot straight right to
the Italians chin, and quickly follow

That hook was the one that put the
Italian on the blink. II carried all the
force White possessed and hit the jaw

Harvard authorities was final Mr..
Moore replied in the affirmative"
While the Michigan athletic authori-
