pounds, Al Smith has gained about

Latest statistics-Hoover, lbs
pounds; Smith 166 pounds; Cool
idge about 100 pounds.
Mr. Hoover realized when he was
elected to the highest office in the
land that his duties as President
would be even more arduous than
those of a Cabinet member, and Tor
some weeks back he has been going
through light training with a view
of keeping in the proverbial pink
of condition.
Mr.. Smith, however, relaxed fol.

proved the action of the county
commissioners in appropriating
money for this cause.
