TRUE ENJOYMENT OF III
Certain Periods Of Outdoor Recreation
a Necessity for Heaithful
Existence.

An inquirer, referring to an ar
ticle in the Bankers Magazine rela-
tive to the health of bankers, is thus
answered by Doctor Fans, the sci
entifc hygienist:
ga bank man should have an ex-
animation once a year to determine
the condition Of the kidneys, arte-
ries, heart and nerves. He should
arrange so as to have a daily period
for exercise in the open air. He can
not keep fit except by following a
plan Of maintaining fitness, since
bank life is one to which the human
animal does not automatically adjust
itself"
We are all interested in the bank
ers-that they keep in jocund health,
for the general aspect of business
takes its flavor from their physical
health. But the remark applies quite
as well to all our big business men
whose work is entirely indoors in
comfortable chairs, where the seden-
tary and unhealthy life is most at
tractive. The human animal cannot
live its best sorting over notes and
inspecting ledgers. 1t needs out
doors among the trees and on the
banks Of streams where the fnny
tribe dwells. Get out where the
smiles of the blue skies awaken the
kidneys and the nerves to action

Local Oleo Moonshining.

Columbia, Mo-, August g.
EVERYBODY recognizes that the
person who manufactures oleo-
margarine at a factory must
pay the federal tax, the one
fourth of a cent per pound rate
if uncolored, the ten cents per
pound rate if containing color,
in addition to the license. How
ever, in certain Missouri towns
and communities it seems to be
a current custom for boarding
house keepers and smaller no
tells and restaurants, conducted
on the family style, to buy UNI
colOred oleomargarine and mix
the coloring in as needed for
serving, oftimes as butter.
Believing that a large number
Of persons keeping boarders are
thoughtlessly infringing on fed
eral laws and becoming moon
Sinners" as well as breaking the
state law against coloring mat
ter, the Missouri State Board of
Agriculture asked for a ruling
from Col. George H. Moore, u.
S. Internal Revenue Collector at
st. Louis.
The Missouri State Board of
Agriculture is specifically charg-
ed with the enforcement of the
oleomargarine laws in Section
R. S. SAB to 662, including the
anti-coloring law.
1t seems Of late to be the GUS
tom Of certain oleomargarine
manufacturers and dealers to
furnish free coloring matter in
capsules when selling the uncol-
ored product, thus suggesting
the beating of the federal gov
eminent out of its revenue and
at the same time encouraging
the breaking of the Missouri law
which forbids the local selling
of cleo containing coloring mat
ter
The state law forbids the use
Of yellow coloring in oleO sold
within the state. The federal
law on the use of coloring mat
ter does not conflict with state
laws any more than it does in
the licensing Of the sale of liq-
uor. A state has the constitu-
tional right to forbid the use of
coloring matter in oleomarga-
rine, and more than half the
states do forbid the use of such
yellow color. The following is
the ruling of the Revenue Col
lector Hoore to Jewell Mayes:

Revenue regarding legality of q

Here is a curious little war story
that was related to me by its "herO."
He is a British officer who is home
from the fighting front on a short
leave, having injured one foot rather
severely. Meanwhile he is going
about in "mufti" and is wearing a
carpet slipper on his injured foot.
The other day while he was tray-
cling down from Hampstead to
Wimpole street in a London motor
bus to see his surgeon, a woman OPP
posite him in the vehicle leaned over
and inquired how long he had been
back from France. Considerably sur.
prised, and wondering if he was con,
fronted by a seeress or a feminine
Sherlock Holmes, he explained, ant
then asked how she knew that he wal
a soldier and had been in France.

On July the fifth at the Portland

commenced. These concerts are held
especially for the summer tourists who
visit Portland and vicinity. The or
gan which is considered among the
finest in the world and of the first

Mr.. Will G. MacFarlane, America
premier organist. The concerts are
held daily excepting Saturday and
Sunday from three to four p m. Last
year these concerts were very popu-
lar, many hundred people enjoying
them daily. Mr.. MacFarlane will upon
a written request, if possible, play Sc
lections asked for on the date men
toned in the request. A unique fea-
ture of these concerts is that they
are municipal. A commission. OF
three prominent men is selected who
serve without remuneration. The
proposition is not to make money
but to give to all appreciators of
good music an hour of unparalleled
musical uplift. No person should
leave the bay, without hearing Mr.
MacFarlane render their favorite Sc
lections on this beautifully toned in
