EATING AND EXERCISE

Dog fanciers have long noted that
when house dog begins to get fat
and wheezy it is pretty apt to be at
tackled by a stubborn skin disease. In
such a case they cut down the diet
and increase the open air exercise,
thus relieving the over-burdened body
of poisonous substances
The sin of gluttony is common and
therefore much condoned, but like
every other violation of natures laws
has penalty. Fat inefficiency, slug
gish mentality, the Redeemed nose, the
pimpled face, certain of the
chronic skin eruptions and much
fatigue and nervousness ar educ to
the abuse of the digestive appar-
atus Rich, indigestible foods in
large quantities, highly seasoned to
stimulate the jaded palate, are forced
into a body already rebellious from
repletion. Exercise is largely limit
ed to walking to and from the table
and bodily deterioration proceeds rap
idly Many an overfed dyspeptic, sud
denly dragged by the stern hand of
ease and plenty and forced to work
ouI OIL uOOrS suddenly discovers CnaC
his semi-invalidism has gone, that
a chronic skin arrangement of many
years standing has disappeared and
that a new vigor and zest of life has
been given him.
Not everyone can spend his whole
time in the open air but a certain
amount not exceeding the body's
needs can be had by almost everyone,
Simple moderate diet and exercise
make for health These are not fad
dish food thories; they are just plain
common sense.

STATE CIVIL SERVICE

Especially attractive to men with
regular trades, are the examinations
to be conducted by the State Civil
Service Commission during the month
of December. The official bulletin for

to be filled through these competitive
examinations to exist in the following
trades; painters, garment cutters
coatmakers, sheet metal workers, ma
chinists, superintendents of shirt fac
tory, carpenter shop, subsistence, stone
quarry, Bertillon system, and many
other places.
Besides these regular trades where
help is wanted, the Commission also
calls examinations for some high
grade positions including that of en-.
gineer for the Board of Administra-
ton, superintendent of the Columbus
Free Employment Bureau, superin-
tendent of the Madison Home, super
intendent of the state fair grounds
etc. Junior messengers for various
state departments are also needed.
Full and complete information re
garding all of these examinations is
contained in the bulletin which viii

him for weapon. The lights of the
city are flashed on; at the sound of
the gun the patrol gathers and the
capture is made the captive is ques-
toned gives his name and residence
requests that the shot gun be point
ed some other way in as much as it
will be impossible to get away, and
the brave detectives begin to
congratulate themselves on their sue
cessful sleuthing, when one of their
number who has, taken a good look
at the captive exclaims, "You fellows
are fat lot of detectives, that man
has been playing in your band down
here for the past two year, and I
have seen him here on the streets
seve.a' nights week for a long
time"
Who can portray the sudden drop
from the height of success to the
depths of disappointment which was
the lot of the sleuths of Delta when
they realized that instead of bold
bad burglar they had held up an
honest plumber who had led their
band and who was under the i'm
preston that he was not an unwel-
come visitor in the city of Delta? So
sudden was the drop that the esrt-
while detectives seemed to forget that
they owed their captive an apology
. for halting him on the streets, plac-
ing his life in jeopardy, refusing to
: accept his statements in regard to
: his name, residence and presence in
Delta; they even forgot to pick up
the umbrella which they had thrown
on the pavement.
The victim of the foregoing comedy
or one act farce was none other than
Clark Mohr of Wauseon, who had
been making an evening call in Del
ia and was on his way to the inter
urban station to take a car for home
His movements on the street are ex-
, planned when it is known that he had
crossed the street in the direction of
the pool room with the intention of
= getting something to eat but when
= he looked in through the window
, the place looked rather dirty and he
concluded to wait for the eats until
:, he reached home. He went into the
shadows on the bank corner to get a
: drink from the fountain located in
v that place Mr.. Mohr is quite deaf
hence did not hear the call to halt
a but did hear the explosion of gun
shot He supposed that he was the
I victim of a hold up and was prepared
: to let the three brave men take all
he had on his person but he did OBJ
ject to looking down the muzzle of
double barrelled shot gun less than
six feet away when both triggers
were cooked and the man holding the
; ; gun was shaking In fact the more
he thinks over the matter the more
: he objects to this mart of the pro-
: Gram and especially since he has
i learned that these Delta Detectives
q were acting without anv legal au-
thoritv or the authorization Of any
civil officer

Danger SipnaI.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a
danger signal as much as fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress
it than to stop a fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable fol
the persistent cough that so otter
follows a bad cold or an attack of
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching
Andrews, Ind, writes: During the
winter my husband takes cold easily
and coughs and coughs. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the best medi-
cine for breaking up these attacks and
you cannot get him to take any
other" Obtainable everywhere.

VICIOUS ELEPHANT HANGED
FOR KILLING MAN

Because she flew into a rage, at
tackled and killed her trainer while
playing at Kingsport, Tenn. some
weeks ago, a large female elephant
attached to travelling circus was
condemned to death by the state au-
thorities and executed. Without pro-
vocation the great beast seized the
man with her trunk, hammered him
against the ground, and then crush
ed his body by stamping upon it. Ac-
cording to some reports, this was her
eighth victim When the circus reach
ed Erwin few days later the ami
NAL was ordered to be killed Suit
able poisons for accomplishing this
were not available and hanging seem
ed to be the most practical means of
carrying out the sentence. The hang
ing was witnessed by a crowd of
about 1900 persons. A large derrick
mounted on a railway car was called
into service. To get her near the
tracks. other elephants had to be used
to push and drive her ahead. Finally
chains were looped about the beasts
neck and she was pulled forward and
lifted free from the ground by the
crane.-From December Popular Me-
