Some Exercise.

Walking is the best exercise. Do
some Of it every day. Next to walk
ing comes bowling. You can't throw
q bowling ball without STOPPING clear

the liver and exercises the intestines.
Fifty per cent of the sickness In the

body bowled. Walk or bowl every
day. And at night lie fiat on your
back and raise your legs above your
head slowly as many times as you can
without fatigue. Then, anchoring your
toes under a weight Of some sort, raise
and lower the body. These two exer-
cises repeated fifteen or twenty times
night and morning will do a lot for
you. And you'll be surprised to find
how quickly you develop endurance.

to the position that this government

discussion simply brings the matter
back to the main point of the American
contention, that order in Mexico must
