Exercise and Health.

In Exercise and Health" an edu-
cational leaflet from the United States
Public Health Service. a note Of warn
ing is sounded. The death rate after
the age Of 40 is increasing in spite of
more sanitary modes of living and
greater protection against commune
cable disease. The expectation of life
after 40 is less than it was 80 years
ago. This is due largely to increased
prevalence Of the diseases Of degener-
alton. The muscles, arteries and other
organs of those who as a result of
sedentary occupation or Incidence take
too little exercise degenerate. Heart
disease, kidney disease and other ills
follow.
Take exercise. Take daily exercise.
Have a hobby that gets you out of
doors. Walk to your business, to your
dressmakers. walk for the sake Of
walking. Join a walking club and keep
your weekly score Of miles. Keep
chickens, make a garden, wheel the
baby or play golf or any other game,
but take two hours outdoor exercise
every day. Gymnasium work Is good
for those who like it and can afford it,
but avoid heavy athletics. Don't try
to be strong man." the champion
athlete often dies young. Be a mod
crate, persistent, daily exponent Of
exercise. You may not burn the fam
lily carriage. as Benjamin Franklin sug-
gested, but at least. as he advised,
walk, walk, walk.

Personal preparedness"

In a pamphlet entitled Fighting
Trim" issued by the United States
Public Health Service, Surgeon ]. M.
Eager lays stress upon personal en- {.
deavor Of every individual as of the
highest public importance in the or
ganized war against disease. The
wonderful victories that have been
won in combating infectious maladies
have had tendency to divert popu.
lar attention from the equally impor-
tant personal fertilization against dis
eases Of all kinds.
The question Of preparedness
against onslaughts Of the enemy, q
query prominent in the minds Of
everyone in these days of warfare is
put In a special personal bearing as
relating to the dangers threatened by
disease. the permanent enemy Of
mankind. Are you personally pre-
pared. it is asked, for the hand-to-
hand encounter with disease that you
are sure to be forced into sooner or
later or in which perhaps you are al
ready engaged? Unless you are will
ing to succumb without a struggle,
fight you must, no matter how feeble
your fighting procliviities are.
The inevitability Of the battle
against disease Is strongly insisted
upon. Peace between nations, 1t il
stated, may not be an unattainable
hope. but even when the much desired
era of human concord comes and
armed strife among men las ceased.
there will still be an everlasting bat.

William vi. Kavanaugh Dead.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 21-Wil-
liam Kavanaugh, former United
States Senator from Arkansas, presi-
dent Of the Southern Trust Company,
Of this city, and for number OF years
president Of the Southern Association
of Base Ball Clubs, died suddenly at
his home here late to-day. His death
is attributed to an attack OF acute in
digestion. He was SO years old.
Mr.. Kavanuagh apparently was in
his usual health and spirits until an
hour before his death. Yesterday he
presided over the annual meeting of
the Southern Base Ball Association,
and last night was host at banquet
to the club managers and officials. He
became i'll shortly before 3 o'clock
this afternoon, and died an hour
later.
Mr.. Kavanaugh was born in Ken
lucky, but came to Arkansas when a
young man. He served several terms
as Probate Judge Of Pulaski county,
and in 1913 was elected by the Leg
iSlature to fill the uneXpired term of
the late Senator Jeff Davis.

strange that the farmer has been be-

Port receipts were only one million
bales this year up to the time thai
they had been three million bales last
year and three million bales the yea"

was offered carried the price down to
6 cents. Had the farmer become

suppose that it would not have gone
below cents? With our cotton
gone and our debts practically all un-

would have been pitiable indeed.
The Southern farmer is not seei-

we realize that, until they are paid,
this cotton belongs to those whom we
owe.
This is Il serious time. and We
must take serious thought, or else
the combined wisdom OF the Sou,h
will not be sufficient to direct our
steps. We are all being tried as
never before, and the rest of our
lives we will be judged by the man
hood with which we meet this crisis;
by the humanity with which we assist
as by the courage and unselfshness
with which bear ourselves
King cotton has fooled us many
times; each time we have licked the
hand that smOte us. Now he has
stabbed us like a "doast" OF calO-
mel. Yet the South will continue to
raise much cotton. She will not quit.
because she cannot, for too many pe0-
pie make a better living out OF cotton
than does the farmer; and they will
not let him quit; and the many will;
continue to live upon the few so long
as they can make us plant cotton.
We are advised with words to raise
food crops, but we are advised with
ratiOnS to make cotton crops; and
ten times out OF nine rations win.
II anybody, anywhere, really wants
to help the farmer, let him persuade
the towns to provide markets for our
produce-not the periodical purchase
Of a small shoat or seven eggs, but Il
real market upon which we can dc.
pend TO sell everything that we make
at market price every day in the yea.
When corn and hay and oats be-
come, like cotton, equivalent to cash.
the farmer will desire to raise them
because OF their cheapnesS Of produc-
ton as well as the vastly greater
earning power which they give to
him.
One man can produce and gather
less than $500 worth OF cotton.
One man can produce and gather
more than $4,000 worth Of corn, OF
of oats and hay.
Give the farmer market for these
things, and he will produce them in
quantity and with intelligence that
will amaze us all. He will also soon
lcaln to get a second and thirG
profit therefrom by converting them
into cattle and hogs, and soil fcrtil-
ity.
The farmer has neither the time
nor the business training to build and
operate markets. This is the towns
end OF the log-and if they will build
the markets, we will soon build the
towns into cities. But if they pre-
fer to bury their talent agricultural
iZing, then we should save the profit
on what we purchase by owning on"
own cooperative stores. as we'll as all
other lines OF business possible.
Let the towns but build the grain
elevators and the meat-packinG
houses, and the farmer will build a
permanent prosperity for the South
such as we had never dreamed pos
siblc.
