KEEPING OLD AGE AWAY.
Ten Minutes of Training Daily Keeps
the Body and Brain Young.

Ten minutes Of body training daily
drives age away. And everybody wants
to stay young. 1t Is worth the trouble.
For following stipulated period of
exercise one can walk buoyantly down
the street, brain clear, shoulders erect
and look the world squarely in the
face.
No tagging. no STOPPING, no dragging
yourself to work follows such sys-
tenn.
II you don't know how or II you can't
get yourself UP early enough, walk to
the office. Walking Is the best exer-
else In the world. To start the day off
right, however, the brisk walk in the
morning should be preceded by cold
bath. Anybody can take cold bath
without nervous shock by letting the
water run on the back OF the neck
first. Rubbing the body with a rough
towel is exhilarating after the bath
and thus groomed and having par

This uneasiness is based on the fear
that neutral countries will suffer by
the preferential import duties proposed
by the entente countries to each other

For example. it is pointed out that
Brazilian rubber will have to compete
with the Indian product and that ship
ments from Ceylon will have almost
exclusive advantages II special rates

OLIN, Big AND QUICK,

hibition of Holds in Trav-

DoDGEs MARIN PLEsTINA

John DIN, the giant who recently
was awarded a decision over Joe
Stecher in wrestling bout at Spring.
field, Mass, perpetrated an awful
parody on the mat game Thursday in
Council Bluffs auditorium. He did
some good ground tumbling and some
fast footwork. Also, with the kind
aid of John Freburg of Chicago, he
gave fair exhibition OF some wrest-
ling holds. But it was a wicked
travesty on sporting fans to call the
affair. "a wrestling match.
DIN is a mountain of man, quick
on his feet and apparently has the
qualifications of real wrestler. In
his movements he reminds one Of
George Hackenschmidt, the big Rus
sian from whom Frank Gotch wrest-
ed the championship, Joe Stecher
should defeat him in straight falls or
the Nebraskan was suffering from
rheumatism, govt, lumbaso and old
age.
1t took DIN twenty-five minutes
and twenty-seven seconds to pin Ere
burg's shoulders for the first fall. 1t
took him thirteen minutes and TWEEN
ty-nine seconds to down the Chicago
an the second time.
In the preliminary, Jack R ynolds
of Omaha won two straight falls from
Joe Hill Of Canada.
Olin's manager sidestepped chal
lenge from Martin Plestina Of
Omaha, who appeared in the ring
with certified check for $1,000 to
show that he meant business.
"You will have to see our booking

Plestina got. The crowd hooted this

BRANDEIS FIGHT
FOR LOST LAURELS
Meet Creighton Quintet in Sec.
ond Game of Series Be-
tween Local Champs.
C0LLEGIANS HAVE EDGE

The Brandeis Stores, holders OF the
city and state Independent basket ball
championships, will make fight to-
night to retain their place as the
strongest basket ball team in the
state.
They will meet Creighton univer-
sity, state collegiate champions, in the
second game OF series for the city
title, the first game OF which was
won by Creighton last week. The
game will be played at the Creighton
gymnasium and will start at 9 o'clock,
in order that employees of the Bran
deis Stores may see the game.
Hard practice has been the rule for
the merchants since their defeat ct
the hands Of Creighton last week, the
first ever administered by local
squad. Captain Richie said today
that he would offer no apologies if
his team was defeated tonight, as they
are at last in the pink of condition.
Wagers Of 2 to ! on Creighton were
made early in the week, but the odds
were withdrawn when food OF Bran
deis money was produced. Support
ers Of the merchants believe their
pride suffered such a blow at the last
defeat that their determination to
get revenge will result in victory
tonight.
Should the Brandeis lose it will be
the first time that Warren Richie
and Les Burkenroad have played on
any but city championship team in
the last eight years. These two have
formed the nucleus for all OF the
championship teams in recent years.
Burkenroad has not shown the form
this season that set him in a class by
himself in the last few years. There
is a possibility that this man, often
called the greatest basket ball player
Nebraska ever produced, will not even
start tonight's game, as the Brandeis
team have been trying out two new
forwards, both youngsters, one Of
whom has beer groomed to take
Burkie's place. The names of the
new men will not be disclosed until
tonight.
One thing is certain--that the store
men will present a changed lineup.
Richie, a guard, will be at forward
tonight, and either Hager or Shields
will fill his guard position
Officials agreed upon for the game
are Bud Kearns, referee, and Earl
Hawkins, coach OF York college, UNI
pire.

Tallest Soldier
In United States
Joins Army Here

The tallest soldier in the United
States army, so far as is known to
local recruiters, has just been en-
listed through the Omaha recruiting
station. He stands six feet six inches
barefooted, and his name is William
c. Pickens, son Of Mrs. Hattie M.
Pickens of Auburn, Neb.
Sergeant Hansen, who has been in
the army so long that he has almost
lost county of the years, says he never
before. saw or heard of such tall SOL
der under the American flag. The
giant is only IS years of age, and still
growing.
In fact, he is expected to grow con-
siderable, at least in weight, other
wise he would not have been ac-
cepted for enlistment. He weighed
1853 pounds, although the army stand
ard weight for man OF his height is
I'll pounds, A special waiver had to
be secured from Washington before
Pickens could be sworn in. The for
ty-eight pounds of weight that he
lacks will probably be put on" by
Pickens within comparatively short
time, Sergeant Hansen believes.
Although it was suggested that the
young giant be assigned for duty as a
flag pole or a wireless tower, he was
finally sent to Fort Logan for train
ing in the quartermaster's department.
Cornstalks are not the only tall things
Nebraska raises, according to Ser
geant Hansen.

The proposition to cut the width of

Members of the companys legal de-
partment take the position that the
width Of the right-of-way was estab-

mcnt more than fifty years ago and
that at this time it is a matter that
