Mallette, 141Q west Third. tf Business men say that visitors to tho county fair did not leave much money in town. Even tho saloons, which aro usually heavily patronized on such occasions, did not do much more than tho average business. Tho fact Is, money Is not plentiful these days, and when a visitor comes to town he spends his money for only the real necessities. Local and Personal Physical Energy. Perhaps you do not Uuow It. but when you wall: u distance of ten miles you expend enough torce, could it be all collected, to rulw MX) torn ono foot from the ground Oi this enoimous quantity of energy the legs are lespon slblo for ISO ton, tho heart for 100, tho lungs for twenty-two and the bn'k of the reui.Undee.ls wasted In the lie given offrom the body. In son ere athletic competitions, such as running, rowing and boxing, you must he in such a condition as to be able to "exert, by your limbs nlone. each minute as ranch force as would lift 5.000 pounds ono foot above the ground. When a powerful man works for tweuty-four hours with all his might tho energy he expends is equal to lift ing a third class cruiser, nnd during his life he dissipates enough power to carry his body at death to the sun. These statements may at tlrst sight seem extraordinary, but will not seem so when , It is remembered that two ounces of bread contains tho potential energy of ISO tons. Pearson's.
