Physical exercise is a good thing

is something TO be particularly kept
in mind by the man VINO has turned

spectacles.
The eyes that have stood the

They can no longer be strained with
impunity as in youth and early
manhood
So with the internal organs and
tissues, especially the heart and
blood-vessels. No matter how tenn
perate the life may have been their
elasticity is now reduced. Hence
forth il is dangerous to put on them
any excessive strain.
This does not mean that the man
Of 40 or IS should begin 70 lead a
sedentary. inactive life. Not at all.
Exercise is as necessary TO his men

in the days OF his boyhood.
But he must not think OF exercis-
ing as strenuously as he did when
he was young. Most OF the games
of his boyhood must become mem

baseball, he can play only from the
grandstand.
Every game. in short that in

Still, there are plenty OF ways in
which the middle-aged man can
safely find the exercise he needs,

Let the People
Rule-and Write
BY Webster,
A Report On Dirt.

TO the Editor OF The Times:
In the front OF the main library
on Gratiot-ave., there is sign
Dirt Breeds Disease" After hav-
ing read that sign, asked myself
the question, what do they mean by
that? Do they mean that We
should eat the dirt? You do not
understand me, do you?
Why, II dirt breeds disease. do
not the officials OF the city OF De
troit, clean up the alleys at least
once month? I invite you to look
over the alleys from St. Antoine-st
to Russell-st., and from Gratiot.ave
TO Forest-ave., and you will see that
the dirt in the alleys is almost one
yard high.
wish TO ask one more question,
and that is: Why, II cleanliness
is next to Goodness" don't we have
in this city more than one public
bath house? We have so many
churches in this city. and the most
OF them are being used very little.
why not build up at least one dozen
free bath houses. where the citizens
will have the greatest use in the
world? There are a few more things
the city must have, but those that
mention are the most essential.

TMHundredth Man.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The hundredth man is the man who is7
earning his wage. !
He is doing just about what he oughts
to do, barring the universal frailties.
He is making good.
When he makes an appointment he1
keeps it. !
When he has to deliver "a message to-
Garcia" he delivers it, He does not exss
plain why he couldn't.
When he states thing it is just about
as he states it; no more, no less.
He does not exaggerate, gesticulates
nor vociferate. AS consequence his orr
binary tone of voice Is more convincing
than other mems shouting 8
He is not fond of the pronoun I. &
He does not indulge in self dispraise7
that most disagreeable fashion of self
praise.
He is much more concerned about tho
right than about his rights.
He shoulders cheerfully his RESPONSE
blities.
He gives to the world an equivalent foA,
what he gets from the world. 3
Wherever you find man of this KING
you find ninety nine who are hanging on,
to his coat-tails d
1t is the one man out Of every hundre4|
that is making things go; the others ARD
following along.
The hundredth man is not looking fof]
favors, tips, pulls, and help.
In any business he is the one who is
indispensable. For whatever he does he
does little better than any one elsf|
could do it,
He is dependable. You never have t4]
watch him to see whether he is doing
what he is supposed to do or not.
He is good loser. When he make3l
mistakes he owns up and takes the conf
sequences.
He despises no human being.
He respects every woman. \
He demands nothing from his friends
He is never mean, small, selfish, vinP|
dictive, nor sulky. Y
When he feels bad he goes away until
he gets over it, and does not afflict othS
er people with his depression.
He knows the golden mean. For he is
courteous without being obsequious
kind but not patronizing, strong but not
coarse, gentle but not effeminate, firrt
but not stubborn, seif-respecting but nof|
an egotist, decent but not prudish, hug
man but not animal loving but not sentik|
