PROPER GAIT FOR ATHLETES
Authority Points Out Conclusive Req.
cons Why Walking 10 q Better Ex-
ereise Than Running.

Few persons, even the most Sc
dentary, walk less than from one to
two miles a day. The ordinary office
worker walks an average Of seven
miles a day. These statements are
the result Of an elaborate study Of
the psychologist effects of walking
and running made by r. G. Benedict
and II. Murschhauser at the Boston
nutrition laboratory Of the Carnegie
institution.
All movement requires expendi-
ture of energy, And heat production
is necessary for every bodily activity.
These experiments prove that when
the arms are swung vigorously in
walking the functions of waste and
repair (metabolism) may be in
creased 1875 per cent; also that one
fifth Of the energy expended by the
average man in walking is required
merely to raise the body at each step.
Running uses up more energy in
proportion to the accomplishment
than does walking. Therefore, as the
Journal of the American Medical
Association remarks, the athletes
should develop a gait which will
eliminate as much as possible these
two apparently unnecessary and ex-
traneous factors, each of which re
quires the expenditure of a consid-
cradle amount of energy which is not
directly contributory to the motion
of forward progression"

remember that your druggist sells for
80 cents large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone, which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is perfect substi-
tute for calomel. It is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.

serving on the County Draft Exempt

| notice in your issue of June 80 an
editorial which reads, "There are
slackers other than those who re-

drain County, Missouri, Exemption
Board has refused to serve"
AS a member of this board, l would
like a publication of this letter.
This same Exemption Board as ap-
pointed, that declined to serve, was
the Registration Board. They, with
the registrars of this county, did not
make any charge whatever for serv-
ices as a registration board. Money
for railroad fare, automobile hire, etc.,
was willingly donated by the sheriff
The physician on the board, with his
family and office help, worked for
several days copying registration
cards, and myself gave two weeks of
my time solely to the duties of the reg
istration board. My deputy gave more
than a weeks time, and every mem
Der Of my family also helped. All of
which put US back in our office work,
together with my court duties during
the session Of court, commencing the
second day of July, makes it impos-
sible for me to serve.
The other members Of the Board feel
as though they have done their bit.
We do not feel that we should be call
