ATHLETIC TRAINING
DEMANDS ABNORMAL LIFE.
The training OF the Marathon run
ners demands an abnormal life. Men
cannot treat their bodies as they
would under other condi tions or in
other forms OF athletics. They do
more than keep the binary rules OF.
health. They have to deprive them
selves of certain harmle foods be-
cause those foods do not agree with
them. No trainer can prescribe
foods for all runners an one runner
may demand certain foods for his
system while other runners demand
other foods.
Punning Is almost strictly an am
ature sport. There are many pro-
fessional runners who have made
great records, but most of the
worlds records have been made by
amateurs or by men who were Sc
cretly: engaged In professionals th-
letics, but who had amateur stand

Mr.. Grimshaw says further that
many German factories are now
making commodities for which there
is at present no market; that the
goods are being stored, and will be
thrown upon the market as soon as
the war is ended, and transportation
facilities are provided. This enor-
nous amount Of manufactured com
modities viii have to be sold for
whatever il will bring, and again
the American manufacturer will feel
the competition. So the employers
in this country. who are expecting
to find a tremendous trade as soon
as the struggle is over. may be dis
appointed unless they are prepared
to meet this sort of competition.
But the gentleman doesn't consider
the task hopeless. In fact, he be-
lieves it to be possible for the Amer
lean manufacturer to overcome all
odds. He believes the American
laboring man so much superior TO
the laboring people of other coun-
tries, he believes the American man
ufacturer so much more capable OF
reducing the cost Of output than the
German, that he hopes to see a tre-
mendous volume OF foreign COM
merce flowing out Of this country ar
ter the war. All that viii be neces-
sary, he says. is for manufacturers in
this country to get busy and knit up
the ragged ends where waste has
been occurring.-Paducah. KY, Neirs

Views OF The Press
Competition viii FolloU

T r. ROBERT GRIMSHAW,
Nf consulting engineer and lec-
49, turer of the New York Uni
versity, has said that the American
manufacturer is not going to have
it all his own way after the Euro
pean War is over, as some seem to
think, but that competition of most
formidable nature will follow quick
ly after the war as a double neces-
sity-as a means of supplying work
for the idle and supplying articles
to meet demand. In view of this GER
tain fact Mr.. Grimshaw says the
American manufacturer will do we'll
to begin figuring upon ways to re-
duce the cost of production. Mr..
Grimshaw is an American citizen,
but is familiar with conditions in
Germany, having recently returned
from that country.
The gentleman says that when the
war is over there will be over two
million men turned loose in the
country and that they will be with
out employment. They will see fac
tories in which they formerly worked
closed and gone out Of business.
They will find women and children
doing work in other factories that
1t has heretofore been deemed impos-
sible for women and children to per
form. So the men will be driven to
seek employment at. say so cents a
day-and for long hours even at that
rate. The American manufacturers
must compete with this cheap labor.

The Place To Die

How little recks II where men die
When once the moments past
In which the dim and glazing eye
Has looked on earth its last;
Whether beneath the sculptured urn
The coffined form shall rest,
Or in its nakedness return
Back to its mothers breast.

Upon the battle plain,
Where reinless war steeds gallop
wild %
Above the CORY slain.
But though his corse be grim to see.
Hoof-trampled on the sod, A
What reclxs it when the spirit. free.
Has scared aloft to God?
The towards dying eye may close
Upon his downy bed,
And softest hands bis limbs coms
pose,
Or garments DER him spread:
But We who shun the bloody fray
Where fall the mangled brave,
Go strip his coffin lid away
And see him in his grave!
'Twere sweet, indeed, to close our
eyes
With those we cherish near,
And, waited upward by their sighA
Soar to some sphere;
But whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battles van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for mani

What you Expect, you usually get.
What you Expect from your friend
your friend usually gives you. What
you Expect from the Work which you

controlled by your Expectations.
Expect no less than the Best and
you will get no less than the Best.
If you start every day Expecting
to make that day the best you have
ever lived and the work that you do
in that day better work than Won
have performed before, you may
rest assured that that day and that
work are going TO garland you with
honor. And after all. the disappoint-

get what they expect, but those who
did not Expect what they desired to

Expect no less than tho Best and

Come Take A Walk
BY WILLIAM BRADY, MD.

c ONE very modern. unconven-
tional medical person has per-
fected-you have to- use that
word perfected in speaking OF any
new remedy or treatments sure
cure for senility, senility is the
medical name for old age. Old age
is a matter OF hardening OF the
arteries. It seems that hardening
OF the arteries and the high blood
pressure that serves as signal OF
its onset Is durable IL taken in time.
Old age Is primarily state OF
mind. but we need not go into the
psychology Of senility here. The
point Of this present discourse is that
there is no need Of people rushing
into invalidism so soon after forty,
as many do. The increasing death
rate in those over forty Is unneces-
sary. Arterio-sclerosis and its three
modes OF expression-heart disease,
Bright's disease and apoplexy may
be summed up in one word, intoxi-
cation.
There are different kinds Of intoxi-
cation which wear out tie arteries.
First, infections OF acute or chronic
type; second, poisons deliberately or
ignorantly taken into the blood, such
as alcohol. tobacco. lead and, in rare
instances. tea, coffee or cocoa; and
last and most important Of all, self
made poisons, auto-intoxication.
over-eating.
Auto-intoxicatlon does not ire
suppose that the victim owns an
automobile, but 1t does mean that he
lives fast 1t is evidence that he
consumes more food than his sys-
tenn can metabolize or burn up or
utilize. II shows that his appetite
is few sizes too big for his occupa-
tion and habit Of life. Autointoxica-
tion. the chief factor Of hardened
arteries, happens to the person who
doesn't get enough open-air exercise.
The sure cure referred to is this:
Take two miles of oxygen three
times a day.
