they were taken in tow by two Of the
men. They were shown charts IN a
Sixth Avenue booking agency and made
their bets.
In few days. th. detectives swore
TO Magistrate House yesterday, they
were able to place bets in several other
places, including a Sixth Avenue
saloon. where the proprietor took the
bets as the bartender looked on. All
the transactions we're conducted be
tween Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth
Streets,
As a result the magistrate yester-
day issued warrants for the arrest Of
Louis Berger, of 362 West TwentY-
fourth Street; Walter Wieder, OF :

Value as Merchandise.

Many people imagine when an arti.
Gle Is cast into the dust bin its days
are ended. This, however, Is not So
for all the contents of dust carts are
carefully sorted and they are emp
tied, anything of value being put
aside, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Disregarding things such as scissors
and knives, many corporations are
making big profit out of their dust"
You wouldn't think that there would
be any value in egg shells, yet every
year as many us 400 tons are required
in the manufacture Of sO-cailed kid
gloves and also in printed calico.
Corks, too. are valuable item, for
they sell to manufacturers ut the rate
of nine cents n pound and in n year
no fewer than S5O0OOO worth are
thrown away.
Cycles suffer a number of hardships
before they reach an absolute end. Old
tires are bought at quite good price
by manufacturers for the rubber on
them-inner tubes nre especially valu-
able-and go to make rubber mats and

HEALTH TIP WORTH NEEDING
Always Hold the Head High, Is Advice
Given by William Muldoon Of
World Fame.

In letter to Robert Grlmshaw Of
the New York university, William Null
doom, who ranks as one of the fore
most remakers of physically broken
down men, gives advice that it would
be well for every man and woman, boy
and girl in America to take to heart,
according to Commerce and Finance.
He says:
II was taught in early manhood not
to throw my shoulders back, stick my
chest out draw my stomach in, or hold
my chin down like a goat preparing to
butt, but to always try and touch some
imaginary things with the crown of
my head. If one tries to do that-first
understands how to try and then tries
he doesn't have to pay any attention
to the rest of his physical being; that
effort to touch something above him,
not with his forehead, but with the
crown of his head, will keep every
particle of his body in the position that
nature intended 1t should be. And as
boy l was advised to frequently
back up against the wall and make
the back Of my head, my shoulders,
hips, heels, all press against the wall
at the same time; and In that way get
an idea Of what was straight, or, in
other words, how crooked l was be-
coming by dropping"
Both to young and old Mr.. Null
doon's "hold-your-head-up" suggestion
is inspiring. Try it. The effect physic-
ally and mentally is immediate. When
the head goes higher the impulse is to
deeper breathing. A man finds more
elasticity in his limbs. He steps out
with more ease. There is more spring
to his gait. He isn't numbering, sham
bling creature, but man alive. With
the elevation Of the crown Of the head
there seems to come clearer thinking, a
more buoyant feeling and brighter
outlook.
