the plan of financing. proposed by

that Congress will want to exact
from those people any further con-

said, certainly we can spend a bill
lion or two if necessary, to protect
American citizens"

PHYSICAL CULTURE

With millions of our people
spending nine-tenths of their lives
in offices, studios, sanctums and
trade marts, some sort of artificial
exercise becomes necessary to even
moderate health. The reader will
pardon me, if l devote this article
to timely observations on the sub
ject, rather than to technique.
There is no substitute to take
the place of outdoor activity as a
cOngener of long life and healthy
function, and as remarked before,
all violation Of the law of right liv-
ing is penalized in length of days.
Your "daily dozen" is capable of
doing harm if Overindulged. Ny
friend, sixty years old, carried his
effort to extreme; he bathed every
morning in near-ice-water; then
he put in a half-hour of violent
"crawls," "dips," and Swings"
until almost exhausted to produce
reaction. He now has a stroke
of paralysis which viii disable him
for life. He did no outdoor work,
having retired; he followed all
sorts Of fantastic notions in eating
the no breakfast folly, and the
two-meal-a-day vagary; at his age,
he took walks in zero tempera-
ture; he was a faddist.
Arterial changes due to age will
not stand violent exertion The
warm bath before retiring takes
much strain off the heart; a few
moments deep breathing when first
up in the morning is always useful.
Moderate exercise before breakfast
the best meal of the day-is a
promoter of appetite and digestion;
five OF ten minutes of tip-tOeing and
swinging of the arms and limbs,
taking deep breaths, is a fine tonic,
if indulged several times a day; it
will counteract the cramped posi-
ton at the desk, the poring over
"the books" the attitude at the
linotype or other machine. 1t is
against excesses of artificial move
ments that l would warn. And, no
exercise will take the place of the
proper amount Of sleep!

OLD TIMERS RETURN
TO EASTERN HAUNTS

Two of the old settlers in the Red
stone district are leaving for the
east-William Rumstick and Harry
Mcconnell. They left Plentywood
Tuesday afternoon for st. Paul. and
from there they are going on to Wis
consin, then to Chicago. Both gen
tlemen auctioned off their land and
property March 10th and "sold every
thing like hotcakes," according to Mr..
Rumstick. Now they are going off
to see what the big cities have to
offer them.
The lives of these pioneer home
steaders are interesting and highly
representative of the hard times the
first tillers of the soil in the west
have had to undergo. Mr.. Rumstick
came from Chicago, and was induced
to come to the golden west with the
first rush of homesteaders. He left
a fine job as salesmanager for a
brush company and came to Plenty
wood to build some of the first houses
in this district. Later he heard that
the Indians were to be given a new
allotment of land to take place of
the ones that they lost in a lawsuit
In the Redstone territory, and that
the whites would be allowed to settle
