Exercises as Cure for Bad Nerves. aw M they would take up a course of exercises, either at home or in , some gymnasium, preferably the latter, because the association, | during the practice of the exercises, hastens the improvement of the condition of the nerves. . Of course, a great many sufferers from nerves will tell you that they obtain sufficient exercise in the performance of their) their daily tasks, but there is a great difference between work and general physical exercise. sat is always done mere of less under tension pressure, and exercises should be performed and | regarded as play, which relaxes and rests the brain while exercising other parts of the body and stimu-| lating the blood circulation, Then, too, the body cannot be properly relaxed and exercised when it is covered with tight or heavy | clothing, and physical exercises should be practised in loose garments which | allow freedom for all parts of the body. We all know that the skin is one | of the yital organs of the body and that the proper functioning of the | skin is as necessary as other healthy and active eliminative organs. A large amount of poisons and ‘waste matter is eliminated from the body, through the millions of tiny pores in the skin, when it ts in proper working order and kept active and clean through exercises and: baths, and this important process is greatly impeded through excessive clothing. The other eliminative organs—bowels, kidneys. and lungs—aré naturally overtaxed when, the skin is inactive, so itis a wise plan to take your daily | exercises away from your place of employment and in some place where you may dress as scantily and as comfortably as possible, Nature's cures are, after all, the only real and lasting ones, and active blood and clean body, inside and outside, will arrest and remove many common disorders out the use of drugs.

How It Started WEDDING PRESENTS. | 66PDUZSSED be the custom,” says the bride, in the first flush of the morning after—the wed- ing or tte honeymoon, still in the full fascination of untying ribbons and waiting to see what the tissue paper will reveal. But “baneful cus- tom" she says later on when she counts five sets of fruit knives and | eleven candlesticks, when she finds a gartulous pink lampshade intended for her ivory and blue bedroom, a huge off painting in an Italian Ren- nuisance frame for~her small living \. REDUCE THIGHS AND LEGS— By Hermine Neustadtl sometimes strenuous days must often look to other accomplishments than this correctness to earn them com- mendation. Wedding presents are a survival of the “aid” which a tenant was com- pelled to render to his feudal lord at the marriage of his daughter as well as the knighting of his son. With the decline of feudalism these money lev- jes at a marriage took the form of voluntary gifts of various kinds at the discretion of the donor and as a token of esteem and good wishes. —— | NDBER this head, The Evening World will print @ short daily educational feature.

CHAPTER X. 1G BILL grumbled a good deal B at the addition to the party. It would be decidedly awkward if this stranger should become rationa) and understand the status of the camp he had joined. Gid Holt had, with’the tacit consent of his guards, appointed himself as a sort of nurse to the stranger, He lit a smudge fire to the windward side of him, fed him small quantities of food at intervals and arranged a sleeping place for him with mosquito netting for protection, . Early in the evening the sick man fell into 4 sound sleep from which he did not awake until morning, George was away looking after the pack horses, Dud was cooking breakfast and Big Bill, his rifle close at hand, was chopping young firs fifty feet back of the camp. The cook also had @ gun, loaded with buckshot, iying on a box beside him, so that they were taking no chances with their prisoner, He could not have covered twenty yards without being raked by a cross- fire. The old miner turned from rear- ranging the bough of green fir on the smudge to see that his patient was awake and: his mind normal, The quiet, steady eyes resting upon him told that the delirium had passed. “Pretty nearly all in, wasn't 1?” the young man said. one, “Yep. Seven—eleven—fifteen. Take ‘er easy, old man,” he said in bis shrill high voice as he moved to- ward the man in the blankets, Then, in a low tone, while he pretended to arrange the bedding over the stran- ger, he asked a quick question.

Holt seemed to be soothing the de- lirious man. What he really said was this: “Selfridge has arranged a plant for you at Kamatlab, The camp has been turned inside out to fool you. They've brought me here a prisoner 40 as to keep me from telling the truth. Pst! Tune up now.” Eliot and Holt found no more chance to tafk together that morning. Sometimes the young Government of- ficial lay staring straight in front of him. Sometimes he appeared to doze, Again he would talk in the disjointed way of one not clear in the head. An opportunity came in the after- noon for a moment. “Keep your eyes skinned for a chance to lay out the guard to-night and get his gun,” Holt said quickly. Gordon nodded. “I don’t know that I've got to do everything just as you say,” he complained aloud for the benefit of George, who was passing on his way to the place where the horses were hobbled. “Now—now! ‘There ain't nobody trying to boss you,” Holt explained in a patient voice. Presently Gordon got up, yawned, and strolled toward the edge of the camp. “Don't go and get lost, young fel- low,” cautioned Dud. Gordon, on his way back, passed behind the guard, who was sitting tailor fashion before a smudge with a muley shotgun across his knees, “This ain't no country for checna- koes to be wandering around without a keeper,” the cook continued. “Looks like your folks would have ‘better sense than to let their rah-rah ‘boy —" He got no further. to one knee and his strong fingers closed on the gullet of the man fo tightly that not even a groan could excape bly, His feet thrashed to Elliot dropped plone ane te Box IN TH RITCHEN, fro as he struggled, but he could not shake off the grip that was strang- ling him. ‘The old miner, waiting with every muscle ready and evory nerve under tension, flung aside his blanket and hurled himself at the guard. It took him less time than it takes to tell to wrest the gun from the cook. 2 He got to bis feet just as Big Bill, his eyes and brain still fogged with sleep, sat, up and began to take nc- tice of the disturbance. “Don't move,” warned Holt sharp- ly. “Better throw your hands up. You reach for the stars, too, Hol No monkey business, do you heart 1'd aa let blow @ hole through you as Big Bill turned bitterly upon Elliot, “So you were faking all the time, young fellow. We save your life and you round on us. You" pretty slick Proposition as a double-crosser.” “And that ain't all," chirped up Holt diithely, “Let me introduce our friend to you, Mr. Big Bill Macy. ‘This is Gordon Elliot, the land agent ppointed to look over the Kamatlah claims. Selfridge gave you lads this penitentiary job so as I wouldn't meet Wiliot when he reached the camp. If he hadn't been so darned anxious about it our young friend would have died here on the divide. But Mr. Selfridge kindly outfitted @ party and sent us a hundred miles into the hills to rescue the perishing as the old sayin’ goes, Consequence is, Elliot and we meet up and have that nice confidential talk after all. The ways of Providence is strange, as you might say, Mr. Macy.” “Your trick,” conceded Big Bill sul- lenly. “Now what are you going to do with us?” “Not a thing—going to leave you right here to prospect Wild Goose Creek,” answered Holt blandly, “Dur- den says there's gold up here-—heaps ° ‘ if it.’ Elliot brought back the pack ropes and cut them Into suitable lengths. Holt’s monologue rambled on, He was garrulous and affable, Not for a long time had he enjoyed himself so much, Gordon tied the hands of Big Bill behind him, then roped his feet to- To-day’s Anniversary] THREEFOLD scourge, which during the year 1348 visited the Continent of Europe, first ap- peared in England on Aug, 18, of this same year. Earthquakes, deluges, and a great pestilence, which came out of Austria, killed thousands of people. On this date in 1655 Oliver Cromwell, as Protector, adopted the “We" in answering @ petition, He had at first written the more fa- miliar “I.” On Aug. 18, 1868, a total eclipse of the sun took place. The Jeclipse was of very Wng duration, gether, after which he did the same for Holway. The old miner superi tended the job and was not NH tll he had added a few extra knots of his own behalf. After Holt had packed one/of the animals he turned to Eliiot. | “I reckon we're ready.” “We're going to take Dud with us for a part of the trip,” said Elliot “We'll send him back to you later in the day, You'll have to fast till h gets back, but outside of that yor do very well if: you don’t roll around trying to-get loose. Do that and you'll Jar loot etting. You know explained Gordon. It was 3 o'clock in the morning by the watch when they started. About 9 they threw off for breakfast, By this time they were just across the divide and were ready to take the down trail. “I think we'll let Dud go m Filiot told his partner in the adven- ture, The two men struck the head wat- ers of Wild Goose Creek about noon and followed the stream down, They travelled steadily without haste, So long as they kept @ good lookout there was nothing to be feared from the men they had left behind. ‘They had both a long start and the advantage of weapons. If Elliot had advertised for a year he could not have found a man who knew more of Colby Macdonald's past than Gideon Holt. One story in par- ticular interested Gordon. It came out the second day, as they were getting down into the foothills. “There was Farrell O'Neill, He was a good fellow, Farrell was, but he had Just one weakness. There was times when he liked the bottle too well. He'd let it alone for months and then just lap the stuff up. It was the time of the stampede to Bonanza Creek. Men are just like sheep, They wear wool on their backs like them and have their habits, You can start ‘em any fool way for no cause a-tall, Don't you know ft? Well, the news of the strike on Bonanza reached Dawson and we all burnt up the trail to get to the new ground first. O'Neill was one of the first.” The old miner stopped, took a chew of tobacco, and looked down into the valley far below where Kamatlah could just be seen, a ttle huddle of huts. “Mac drups in and joins O'Neill at night. They knew each other, y’ un- derstand, so o' course it was natural Mac would put up at his camp. O'Neill had a partner and they had located together. Fellow named Strong.” “Not Hanford Strong, a little, heavy-set man somewhere around fifty?” Gordon asked quickly. “You've tagged the right man, Know him?" “I've met him.” ‘Well, I never heard anything against Han Strong, Anyway, he off that night packing grub up Farrell held down the claim.
