HURT BY LACK OF EXERCISE
American People, Through Excessive Use of Automobiles, Rapidly Be-
 coming Nation of Dyspeptics.

Excessive automobile riding Is said to be the cause of many ailments of the digestive, the respiratory and the circulation organs. A student asked one of his professors which branch of the medical profession he regard ed as the most remunerative.
 "If l were again young man, just starting ont" the professor replied, "I would choose the digestive tract. Americans are playing havoc with that part of their anatomy. With automo- bile riding rapidly replacing the good old habit Of walking, people don't get enough exercise to digest properly. Result: Better business for the physi- cians
 "Neyt 10 the alimentary troubles the heart and lungs are involved; the mus cles of these organs are weakened both by lack of exercise and by the ill-nourished condition of the blood due to hasty eating You see 1t all comes back to the question of eating the digestive tract. So that, 1t seems to me, should prove to be the branch of the profession to which would give first choice."

"As long as there are big footed praying hobbledehoys, neither boys nor men. and as long as the fool killer neglects his duty" commented old Festus Pester, as he gazed upon a mess of youthful and blawhawing joy riders, "just that long there will be that kind of boOby business cut up. was once exactly that sort of lout myself; substitute buggy and a clumsy horse for that motor car and look back few dozen years into the dim past and you have me, conceit blather, total disregard for the. rights and privileges of others, and all. Boys always were and always will be the same at that age. And just as the older persons of my day fervently hoped would break my worthless neck by my own foolishness, now hope those yaw-hawing idiots will break theirs.

TOWN OF PECULIAR HISTORY
Settlement in Arkansas Had lie Or. igin in the Failure of Italian
 Colony Elsewhere.

The dramatic story of Tontitown in Arkansas, all that remains of an Ital. Ian colonization plan instituted by Austin Corbin, New York financier, about fifty years ago. is told by Bruno Roselli in the Century. In the latter half of the nineteenth century Corbin purchased large tracts of cotton lands along the lower Mississippi and made arrangements with the mayor of Rome to send number of Italian families as settlers for the new colony, which was to be named Sunnyside.
 In the new colony malaria fever, a tropical disease unknown to the Ital- fans, broke out in their new habita- tion, and the settlers became panic stricken. Having no place to 80, they began sending out appeals to Italian consuls in the larger American cities, but their appeals remained unheeded until they reached the ears of Father Bandini. Tuscan priest of New York, who immediately started for Sunny side.
 Not having the means of covering transportation costs if he were to take them out of the region they were in the priest began to lead the Italians out of the malarial region on foot. They finally reached the spot where Arkansas. Kansas and Oklahoma touch borders. They purchased a good many acres of land with S1 ,OOO they saved, felled the trees out of which they built homes for themselves and a chapel and named the new settlement Tontitown, after the pioneer Tonti, who was the first Italian known to have set foot in Arkansas.
