Mrs. Meekly came out of the kitchen

NO GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE
Matter of Proper Amount of Bodily
Exercise Must Be Left to Dis
erection of Individual.

at is an axiom that mental excel
lence is to a very considerable extent
dependent upon a mans physical con-
diUon," declared Secretary of State
Robert Lansing. at is equally true
that rules of health, except the most
general, depend in large measure up
on the individual and upon his peculiar
needs.
IF I were asked TO lay down rules
which might be applied generally" con
timed the American premier, Il
would embody them in the phrase
More fresh air and less food How
much bodily exercise should be taken
and it's character depend upon the
individual, his physical condition and,
To- an extent, on his tastes. OF course,
exercise IS, as a rule, beneficial, but
it ought to be a pleasure TO the one
taking 1t If he would get the best re-
suits.
ut may sound like heresy, but l
sometimes wonder whether exercise,
when it is not a diversion, is really
worth while. Certainly the mind Is
not rested If it rebels against certain
forms of physical training which are
being taken, and recreation for the
mind of one engaged in intellectual
pursuits is, in my opinion, one of the
most essential purposes Of exercise of
the muscles.
81 believe, however as | have said,
that fresh air is one Of the great re-
storatlyes, and the fact that exercise
is generally taken in the open Is one
of its chief benefits. Prom "Secre-

Worlds Greatest Soldier.

Physically, Foch is little man, his
inches are about those of Napoleon,
and he has Grants fondness for the
cigar. Like Joffre, a southerner, he
has frankness Of speech which his old
commander has never displayed. I'm
like Petain his words are rarely caus-
tic and he has made friends among all
his allies. An old man, close to sew

face and only his eyes reveal an I'M

KILL OFF PREDATORY BEASTS
Kidding Ranges of RaVaging Rogues
Results in Saving More Than
S5,00O,0O0 Worth of Stock.

It is estimated that the bureau of
biological survey Of the United States
department of agriculture IS saving
annually over $j,OO0,0OO worth Of live
stock for the ranchers Of the Rocky
mountain section as Il result IF its in
tensiyc campaign against predatory an
mals, which has been in progress dur
ing the past three years. During this
period G0,45S coyotes, $3.50 bobcats,
$50 wolves, POI mountain lions, and
137 bears have been trapped or Shot,
and many other animals have been
poisoned. The income from the sale Of
pelts Of animals killed by government
hunters to protect live stock during the
last year will aggregate approximately
100000. This work is of special inn
portance, because the cattle and sheep
which are already on the range pr0duc.
ing meat, wool, and leather are afford
ed protection, and thus the actual
sources of these essential commodities
are being conserved for market. Fur
thermorc, clearing the range Of preda'
tory animals is making conditions more
favorable for stocking the grazing
areas to full capacity and for improy-
ing the quality Of the breeding stock.

Beds of ore are stated to have been
located at a distance of two and a
half miles by the electrical method
patented in the United States By Pro-
fessor X. A. Fessenden. In the locality

is suspected, a number of holes sew

idea of the character of intervening
masses of rock and of the position and
distance of neighboring deposits of ore,
