In fifteen minutes the work was

WILSON EXERCISES
TO KEEP UP HEALTH

DR.. Grayson told me that when he
first took charge of the president as
his health director Mr. Wilson was
not a little averse to taking any sort
of exercise However, the doctor early
succeeded in impressins upon Mr.
Wilson the fact that his health was the
most important factor. When golf was
prescribed as one form of exercise. he
was told that it was not to be under
taken as a test of skill. as in playing
d match with a companion, nor would
he be playing for any special score, or
for any goal whatever,
The president has a dislike almost
akin to adherence for mechanical ap-
planes for the purpose of exercising
the muscles of the body. There is not a
dumbbell or an Indian club or a medi-
cine ball or a punching bag or a turn
ing bar or a trapeze or a lifting or pull :

ing apparatus or a muscle exercising
machine Of any sort or description to
be found in any part Of the White
House for the use Of the president The
absolutely only mechanical device
used by the president in his exercises
is a simple, uncffending golf club.
The major part Of the presidents
physical exercise is taken as play; play
for the sake Of the play as well as for
the more material consideration of
conserving health.
Except for number of important
and essential indoor exercises. or upon
occasions when extremes of weather
conditions prevent, the presidents
physical activities are practiced in the
fresh air Of the out of doors. Mr.. Wil-
son fully agrees with the saying of Dr.
Grayson that the outside of a house is

Ducking through the hail of bullets,

SOCIALISTS ASSUME

tige of Chancellor Friedrich Ebert and
Philip Schedemann has been greatly
enhanced by the appointment of ma

The committee is largely a body
with preliminary functions on a small

as industries were being menaced by
the chronic unrest in the Silesian and
Rhenish mining districts.
Herr Ricklet proposed Weimar, CAPT
tai of the grand duchy of SaXeWei-
mar Eisenach, as the seat of the first
constituent assembly.
The general makeup of the congress
was pronouncedly mediocre. as the
majority of the members were from
local soldiers and Workmen's councils,
hurriedly organized in the early days
of the revolution. The fact that the
congress convened at Berlin was TO-
sponsible for some embarrassing cpl
sodes, such as invasions by soldiers
and laborers.
Herr Scheidemann was loudly
cheered by the country members

GREASE" SHIPMENT
FOUND BY SHERIFF
Fifteen year-OId Bourbon Is Poured
Into Street in Presence of Thirsty
Letcher County Crowd.

A barrel of 15-year-old Bourbon
whiskey, shipped from Lexington to
Dwarf, Ky. and opened little too
eagerly by the consignees was grab
bed by the sheriff of Letcher county,
when the odor of booze attracted the
attention of the authorities.
The barrel of whiskey, which was
labeled grease" was shipped by
Davis & Co, well-known saloon on
North Limestone street, Lexington, to
the Amburgery Hay Company, a non
existent corporation at Dwarf, Letch-
err county. George Couch, claiming to
be a representative of the consignee,
appeared and claimed the grease"
Eager to get at its contents, it is
related, Couch opened the barrel on
the way over to Dwarf from the rail-
road and sampled the good old
stuff" In doing so the attention OF
Sheriff Richard Combs was attracted
to the wagon and its precious load in
the desert of Letcher and he seized
the cargo In the presence of a crowd
such as had not been seen in any
place in Letcher for many years Sher-
if Combs knocked in the hung of
the barrel and poured the whiskey
into the street.
Couch was arrested and placed in
the Hazard Jail. 1t is said the Lex
ington shippers are to be prosecuted
under the new antl-shipping act.

GROCERS WILL
Be EXPECTED
TO SELL SUGAR
Those GrOcers Refusing to Handle
Sugar Because of Inconvenience
viii BE Considered Unpa-
triOtic and will BE
ppnnIizpd


Louisville, July 1O-(SpeciaD-Su-
gar Division of the United States Food
Administration is working under def
mite rules issued from Washington
rationing ertail dealers in sugar,
public eating places, bakers, and
manufacturers. Cooperation with the
Food Administration, by dealers in
sugar, is necessary in order to assure
to all persons in the State of Ken
lucky full allowance of sugar on
the basis of available supplies for the
next three months. The carrying out
of these rules, to assure fairness of
distribution, requires from each of
the distributors certain work in the
keeping of records and the filing of
applications for sugar. That work is
placed upon each dealer as a neces-
sary incident of his business, due to
the war and the sinking of large
amounts of sugar recently by German
submarines operating along the At
lantic Coast. 1t has come to the at
tention of the Sugar Division of the
Food Administration in Kentucky that
certain retailers, Directing to the in
convenience of keeping the necessary
record and making the necessary APP
plications, have declined to apply for
their quota of sugar, and that their
customers will suffer by reason of
their unwillingness to handle this ar
ticle because of the restrictions. In
an interview Mr.. Fred NJ. Sackett
Federal Food Administrator, called
attention prominently to the fact that
such refusal by dealers to conform to
the necessary regulations imposed by
the Government would be considered
an unpatriotic act. and that dealers
who continued in their refusal to han
die sugar under such conditions
would have to be penalized by the
Food Administration in the interest
of fair treatment to all consumers.
The fact of inconvenience cannot be
accepted as an excuse for refusal to
handle a commodity in the line of the
merchants regular trade.
There is sufficient sugar to meet all
needs, on the basis of three pounds
per person, which is ample for the
community, if used with proper eco
nomy. Every merchant can secure
his normal supply, and is expected to
do so for the benefit of his trade.
