It works no hardship on the athlete
who is in training. Unlike the sys-
TENS that have been used for years,
this prominent and successful trainer
of men makes conditioning more Of u
pleasure than a dlstasteful necessity.
Instead Of demanding that his men eat
only certain things he advises them to
eat what they want and when they want
II as long as 1t is cooked in a proper
manner. Mr.. Howard, in a recent in
terview on the subject of diet and con-
dition, said, in part: years ago 1t was
a task, and an unpleasant one, for a
boxer or wrestler to train for bout
because he was forced to literally
starve himself unless he wanted to eat
steaks and chops at all times. | re-
member that when was training for a
match, | was so truly tired of steaks
that l choked every time that ate
one but ii was steak or nothing. / adj
wise my men to diet at all times but 1t
Is perfectly possible for them to diet
and, at the same time, to enjoy their
food. My only don't is the one re-
garding the eating Of such combina-
tions as fresh milk and cheese, and
fruit with cream. In fact, advocate
the use of evaporated milk entirely.
Vegetables are fine and the more that
the athlete eats the better he will be
for it. Pastry, of ceptain kinds, such as
homemade pies, cakes and cookies, IL
made correctly, and with pure butter,
evapOrated milk and pure lard, are
very beneficial. Stews and boils are
ideal. Taken as whole any food,
with a few exceptions is all right If
properly cooked and eaten without
gorging."
And one has but to look at Howard,
who is the most religious user of his
own system, to realize that it is sue
cess.

American newspapers continue to
publish dissertations by George Ber-
nard Shaw that breathe ridicule for
American ideals and American Gus
toms and progress.
American newspapers would be much
more American without his socialistic
satire, particularly when he discusses
evolution.
True Americans do not relish hav-
ing Europe paraded as an example
when the present generation has seen
nothing that it cares to emulate.
Shaw is reputed to find the great
est joy in shocking his readers, but
it has become so commonplace that
he is more generally regarded as a
humorist.
The great difficulty is that too few
people will look upon him as such
and will take seriously what he writes
on the most serious and sacred sub
jects.

Every time a swindler is sent to

investor fabulous returns. The saw

Nothing will make a man fight quick
er than to tell him that he is not loyal
to his country, or that his country is
not worthy of his loyalty.
What is true of ones country should
be equally true of the place we call
home. 1t is hard to imagine anything
more inconsistent than a man or wO-
man living in community to which
they do not prove their undivided fcal-
ty by their daily practices.
Most everyone can think of town
or city that has grown and develop
ed into a prosperous community be-
cause every inhabitant pulled together
and worked together for its upbuild-
ing.
Every such city is a lesson that each
one may appropriate and think over
as an example that might well be
emulated. The lesson of pulling to-
gether can always be studied to the
benefit of the individual as well as a
collection of individuals making up a
community. When divided, we weaken
and tear down our own interests, max
ing the business of building up the
most logical one, even from a purely
selfish standpoint.
This community is most happily
situated, the people who call this home
need only to look about them and count
the advantages that are to be found
here. With such setting, there is no
reason why the community should not
be prosperous.
And it will he prosperous and CON
tentment will abound just in proper
tion as we as individuals make it such
by pulling together; by standing for
home institutions; by supporting those
enterprises that enlarge community life
by enlarging wholesome activities.
This is loyalty to home-loyalty to our
merchants, TO our schools, our churches
our industries and our farms. These
are the things that make life i'm every
community worth while. Loyal peo-
pie will support them.
