board The schools he looked over

the bond issue was voted some time
after the Lancaster district voted to
build a new building is now under
way and will probably be finished Dy
spring. The Chippewa Falls building,
now completed, cost the people OF
that district S174,000 and Mr.. McNelIy
says it is the finest building of its
kind he ever saw. Chippewa Fails is
a city Of 5000 and has two high
schools.
The Chippewa Falls district fired its
original architect when it found that
building costs would apparently go up
SO percent Then the district went
ahead with a new architect and found
that the cost went considerably under
the appropriation.

Sometimes these minorities are
brainy, altruistic and entitled to

A Man Gets Old Because

"A man gets old because he lets

tic director summed up the cause in
physical decline among men Of early
middle age.

tion went on to explain that by proper
living methods human beings might
greatly prolong youthful suppleness,
Yigor, appearance and health.
Clean habits, good but sparing diet
restful sleep and vigorous exercise
comprises the curriculum Of youth
and those who want to stay young
Most people want to stay young-the
trouble is they want to stay that way
without making any effort or sacfi-
flee, So they drift into stodgy middle
age, become decrepit when they
should be in full vigor and finally give
up. A saddening but too common
spectacle.
Our friend, the athlete, without
knowing it, carries the Greek ideal Of
physical perfection. He believes that
a finely developed human body is the
most beautiful thing in the world. lie

doubtless is, can be stayed and that

MURPHY ON STAND.
Tammanyis Famous Chieftain Called
 as Witness in New York.

New York, April 17.-Charlcs F. Murphy, chieftain of Tammany hall, today made what was believed to be his first appearance on witness stand in his long career in politics. Mir. Murphy took the oath in order that he might testify in the suit he had brought against Louis Hartog to recover $175,0O0 invested in a war time glucose deal.
 Spectators in the court room evinced far more interest in the Tam many chieftain's cross examination than they did in his laconic account of his investment of SITS, 900 in Har- tog's glucose business and his subse- quent withdrawal because as he said, Hartog was profiteering. Max Steuer, Hartog's lawyer strove to draw from MT. Murphy information as to the source of his wealth but Murphy sat silent while Martin oCnboy, his at- torney, blocked the queries with ob- jections which the court upheld.
