KEEPING FIT FOR SUCCESS Rules For Reducing Last week we laid down seven important rules which the unwise follow in order to put on weight. Today we take up a few more of these instructive rules. 8. Smoke all the time. Excessive smoking quiets your nerves and smoothens out the ruffles of your temper. It is great for saving calories, the unburnt food being deposited as fat. 9. Play bridge instead of tennis; play poker instead of golf. 10. Go horseback-riding, but take it easy, ride slowly, and sit comfortably in your saddle. The horse is bound to reduce after trudging about under a heavy weight. 11. Sleep a lot and get up late in the morning. Metabolism is slowed up during sleep. You are saving calories, which go to your bank account of deposited fat. Sleep more than eight hours a day. The more time you spend in bed the more appreciably evident is the weighing down of the bed springs. There are two types of sleepers, those who sleep horizontally and those who sleep vertically. The man who stays up late at night is apt to make up for lost sleep while at work. 12. Do no housework or other work involving effort. We have many times observed that the maid is often thinner than the mistress. The more maids in the home, the fatter the mistress. If your maid wants a raise and you feel that you can't afford it because you have lost heavily in the Wall street crash, tell her that she is getting a free course in reducing 13. Avoid the sunshine. It will damage your bonnet and your gloves. Keep on the shady side to protect them. Deficiency in sunlight will increase your weight. In ancient times girls, when very young, were put into darkened rooms and fed richly, so that they would acquire extreme rotundity. The girls in those days gladly submitted to the process because rotundity was then regarded as a great physical attraction. In those good old days every girl was worth her weight in gold. Nowadays commercial advantage is often taken of the fact that absence of sunlight causes an increase in weight. Ani mals marked for slaughter are fattened in darkened compartments. 14. Wear out your rubber tires instead of your rubber heels. The automobile threatens to convert us into a nation of abdominal giants with atrophied legs. In any large city you will see at almost any hour of the day, overweight men and women sitting snugly in balloon-tired, shock-absorbing and luxuriantlycushioned cars, supposedly riding for the sake of their health. We are very sure that if you follow these fourteen rules laid down for your benefit you will meet with eminent success and win your objective. And then you will realize the truth of the statement that more people die by the knife, the fork and the spoon than by the sword, the gun and the pistol. Oliver Goldsmith wrote the Deserted Village. In this poem he attributes the plight of the deserted village to the accumulation of wealth. You will recall the famous lines: "Ill fares the land to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates and men decay." If Goldsmith lived today, he would give one glance at the people about him and exclaim: "IN fares the land to hastening ills a prey, where fat accumulates and men decay." Attorney General Sorenson says newspapers are the windows through which the public views public affairs. The simile is good. But no one can see anything if a window is darkened, or the blinds are down. Too many public officials make it their business to see that the blinds are down, or prevent light from shining through to illuminate their dumgs. When the papers attempt to turn on the light, or raise the blinds, they are accused of being grafters, trouble makers, snoopers. One class of public officials spends more money than any other, in many localities more than all other combined, yet this class is notoriously determined to prevent having the light turned on, or the blinds raised. In response to the statement that the public is entitled to know what is going on, the response is that anyone who is interested can examine the records. The fact is that in many instances no intelligible records are kept. This leads to the justifiable suspicion that one of the reasons for opposition is to cover up neglect. But, suppose records are properly kept, how many are capable of taking off balance sheets and arriving at proper conclusions? How many have the time to do so? There is no law which requires these officials to pulbish informaion about their doings, or supply information for publication. So far, their influence has been powerful enough to prevent the enactment of such a law. Another class of offiials, who spend a substantial amount f money, is resuired by law to pub!ish reports of proceedings, and perodical financial statements. Yet "umerous individual bodies of this class persistently defy the law. "Economy" is the reason given, but is it economy to deprive the people . information to which they are justly entitled? Mr. Sorenson says when public officials fail to do their duty the papers should "treat them rough. Buck. Will M. Maupin of Hastings, spe cial correspondent for the WorldHerald, was through town Wednesday, on his second tour of the grasshopper-infested section. He reports that the hoppers are beginning to spread over a much larger section of the state now and something must be done to control them, or the entire state will be infested. He feels that it is necessary for the federal gov. ernment to take a hand in the eradication of the pests instead of expecting the counties and individuals to do it. Where farms are small the owners or tenants can handle the trouble, but where there are large portions of pasture and hay land, the task is too much for any but the state or federal government. to good SECURE common to fair steers $5.15@6.50: good to choice stockers $6.25@7.25; tair to good stockers $5.25@0.25; common to fair stockers $4.25@5.25: trashy grades $3.00@4.00; good to choice feeders $6.00@6.75; fair to good feeders $5.00@6.00; common to fair feeders $4.00@5.00 stock COWS $2.50 @3.50; stock heifers $4.50@6.00; stock stoor calves $5.50@7.50; stock A 10 @ 2Dc DROP IN HOGS The week opened out with a liberal run of hogs 15,500 head and a 10@ 27c drop in prices all along the line.
