The woman who does her own homework is usually worn out at the end of the day. She is apt to con- clude, therefore, that exercise is not a word intended for her. She could hardly make greater mistake, how ever. A woman needs a half hours rest near the middle of the day, 1t is true, but she needs also systematic and stimulating exercise. One reason why women are so fatigued at the end of the day is that they lack muscle tone. Half an hour of brisk exercise suited to the particular needs of each individual, and taken regularly fol- lowed by a, cold dash of water will serve to keep the whole muscular and nervous system in tone It also works wonders in keeping eyes bright and color good. something that all women desire.

 It is a significant sign of the times that the state board of trade in the state of Massachusetts has endorsed the city manager form of local govern ment, and has recommended it to the municipalities of that state.

 The Chamber of Commerce Expan- sion movement is but a stepping stone to a greater and more comprehensive movement which must come from within. The idea is not idealistic and as time goes on the hard headed bus mess man is going to fall in line and see that spending money is one Of the most effective ways of getting 1t back He is going to get pleasure out of the knowledge that his city can hold its own in competition with others. When civic pride is developed no man Is go- ing to think of himself at the expense has waxed wealthy through his own labors or through the consideration of his forbears, begins to think that he owes something to the city in wn1ch he has lived and where his fortune has been amassed. then we are going to have a cooperation and interest in public affairs which will be worth while.-Meriden Record.
 Many people had been thinking that the drift of country people into the cities had about stopped. Recent ten dencies have emphasized the value or country life. Hundreds of thousands of business men have been moving out into the country, particularly since the automobile made it easy to get back and forth.
 Yet according to census bureau es- inmates just given out, Al per cent of the people of this country now live in cities as against 39 per cent. only back as far as 1910. Unless the ten dency is checked, a good half of the people will be living in cities before many years.
 Who will raise the food then? And where will food prices be? Certainly we are not making much progress in the back to the land movement. When the wealthy merchant sells his city home and buys a country estate where he raises prize cattle and at a loss by fancy farming, nothing has been done to meet the cost of Hving.-Meriden Journal.

and boorish soons. This is a condi-
ton of life from which this country
has ever revolted. and from which we
must guard ourselves with extra care
in this emergency.
There are many lines of activity
in which our women can render val
liant service. In these they should
be encouraged. and these lines should
be cheerfully surrendered to them
by the men. But women dock labor

been accustomed and from which our
nature revolts.
Should this war continue for two

face this matter ssuarely. We must
protect our women If we would safe

AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE
DISPLAYED LOYAL SPIRIT

The spirit displayed by the loyol
women OF this country in the strug-
gle that is before us is a matter for
just pride to every true lover of his
country. says an eastern writer. The
unaminity with which they have risen
to the occasion and met the demands
upon them, is gratifying, and evil
dences the fact that they are not one
whit behind their sons and brothers
in their devotion to their country.
There Is, however, one feature OF
our women's activity that may easily
be carried to extreme-that OF devot-
ing themselves to heavy manual la
Dor. There may, in the days before
us, be rare instances in which women
will be impelled to shoulder the heav-
Ter burdens that fall rightly to the
shoulders OF the men, but these oc-
casions should be made as rare az
possible.
There is something in the very
sight of a woman staggering under
heavy burden that fills the soul Of
an American with shame. The in.
stinct that prompts man to instant
ly assume that burden, ia Unborn in
the race, and is but prompting of ma,
ture in an effort to safeguard the
race and insure its highest develop
ment.
The splendid type OF our American
manhood could nver have been evolv
ed had not this country regarded wo
man as something to be cherished
and protected and shielded from al
Of life's rougher and sterner expert
ences. High ideals and lofty concep
lions of life are drawn by us from the
breasts of mothers whose surround
ings and comforts are such as to de-
them. Children of care-hurdenet
and overworked mothers are very APT
to develop in their own lives the direct
results of the trials of their parents
Very few specimens of a high type o.
manhood come from the homes Of
such people. This is a most clearly
seen in countries OF the old world
among the peasant classes, where
overworked mothers breed loutist

THOUSANDS OF COYOTES
KILLED IN THE STATE

Claims for bounties on predatory
animals amounting TO $91,521 have
been filed with the state veterinar-
ian's department since January LIST,
1917, says the Boise Statesman.
Of the total claims for bounties
about $4,000 has been paid by the
state. Some were carried over from
1915, but figures compiled by the
veterinarians department show that
bounties were claimed in the sum of
almost $50, 900 this year.
$13,77O BOunties ON Bear
The killing of black bear has cost
the state, or will cost it, $13,77O this
year, since bounties have been claim
ed on 1877 bears. Most of the bears
were killed in Idaho and Bonner
counties-or the men who claimed
bounties on bruin say they killed the
animals in those two counties, but
the proximity of the hunting grounds
to the Montana state line has aroused
suspicion in the minds or the state
officials who pay the bills.
An ffeort was made In the last leg
islature to revoke the bounty on bear,
but the fight to save bruin for the
real sportmen was unsuccessful.
Not more than half dozen grizzly
bears have been killed in the state
during the year. and it is those ami
mails which kill sheep, it was claimed
last winter in the legislature.
Coyotes Still Numerous
Coyotes are apparently holding
their own IN the state since claims
for bounties on 27,721 have been
paid, or are to be paid on animals
killed within the last year. The state
pays $3.50 on coyotes.
A total of 2134 wildcats, 43S lynx
AZ cougars and SO wolves were killed
The state pays $3.50 on wildcats
$3.50 on lynx, $40 on wolves and $25
on cougar.

DRAFTED MEN WILL
NOT BE CALLED SOON.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Inability of
many recruiting Offices to care for the
rush of men to join the regular army
before the new draft regulations be-
came effective today was reflected in
recruiting figures for yesterday. The
days total was only 91O4, as com
pared with 4,291 Thursday when the
recruiting system broke down.
Fridays figures, with three states
Arizona. New Hampshire and
South Carolina--missing. swelled the
December enlistments to 70,466 men,
not taking into account those accept
ed today up to noon, when enlist
ment in the regular army was prohib-
tied to men of draft age under the
new rules.
Volunteers to the regular army
since the declaration of war in April
now number 1872 exceeding by
153,349 the number called by Presi-
dent Wilson to bring the regulars TO
war strength. Ten states failed to
supply their quotas. They were Ala
bama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, New Mexico, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia
and Wisconsin.
The thousands of men who volun-
teered in the last few days and were
rejected because of the breaking
down of the recruiting system will be
accepted, Secretary Baker having to-
day ordered that all qualified appli-
cants who presented themselves be-
fore noon today be accepted, even
though their examination and other
details could not be completed until
later.
With the putting into effect of the
new draft regulations today, the first
per cent OF the questionnaires was
mailed to draft men. At the same
time, Provost Marshal General Crow
der announced that the huge task OF
classifying the nine million men of
lraft age unqestionabIy would be An
ished within sixty days.
There will be no further call of the
draft men until the clasifications are
completed.
