Ashland, Ore., Monday, Sept. 11, '16 HOW ABOUT YOUR HEALTH? What profiteth a man that he gain the whole yorld yet lose his health? Naturalists say that long ago the prehistoric waters were infested with a species of enormous shark which finally became extinct by reason ol the workings of its voracious appe tite. Thus Nature eliminates the over-fed. The desire for ease of life and plentiful diet Is universal and is the great stimulus of man and animals alike. When man becomes greedy and takes more ease and food and drink than is his share. Nature dis cards him. In the race for power and place, for ease and circumstance and relief from the stimulus of hunger, the modern man is apt to forget that un less he is careful of his body he will soon be made to suffer for the in fraction of Nature's Inexorable physi cal law. With the loss In body tone comes an equal loss In mental faculty and the brain, which for a time was able to operate despite the com plaints of an over-fed, under-exercised, self-poisoned body, stops work ing. Statisticians have discovered that the mortality rate of persons In the Vnited States over 45 years of ags is Increasing. The strenuous life of today is not alone responsible for this. Lack of health-giving exercise, superfluity of diet, lack of restoring sleep, over-stimulation, the high pressure of the race for power wealth and position, plus physical neglect these bring early decay. The goal is reached, wealth It amassed, honor, position and power are just being grasped when the ap ple of accomplishment turns to the ashes of dissolution. The brilliant mind becomes clouded, the steady band is no longer accurate, the eye which once gaied fearlessly on the whole world is dimmed and it is not long before the final break up oc curs. All of this was entirely pre ventable. Other things being equal, it Is the man who leads the well-balanced life who lasts the longest, whose work to the end is uniformly the best he who neither over-works nor over plays', neither over-eats, over-drinks nor over-sleeps, he who maintains a standard of simply, healthy diet in moderation, who offsets mental work with physical recreation, who Is as honest with his own body as he is with his own business. When suc cess comes to such an one bis physi cal and mental condition is such that he can enjoy In peace of mind and contentment of body the fruits of his labors. The regulations of the United States Public Health Service state: "It Is the duty of officers to maintain their rhysical as well as their pro fessional fitness. To this end they shall be allowed time for recreation and study whenever their official du ties will permit." If the government regards It as essential that its sani tary experts shall be safeguarded in this way. is It not equally Important to every citizen that he similarly maintain a high standard of physical Intecritv?

L. CAMPS, E. V. JONES, THE PARK GARAGE. Frohbach's Letter To Wisconsin Friend The following clipping is from The Evening Wisconsin of Milwaukee. The letter referred to was written by Mr. Frohbach of Ashland to his personal friend, John W. Campsie, who is manager of the paper quoted: The Evening Wisconsin's campaign for better bathing facilities in Mil waukee has reached as far as Ash land, Ore., and from that little town comes congratulations in the way of a letter from Hugo 0. Frohbach. He writes: "I have read with a great deal of interest your long, hard fight for better bathing facilities In Milwau kee and I'm sure that the people are back of you in your efforts and hope for its success. "When in the Issue of August 19 the letters from Chicago were pub-! lished, I became more interested as ; our situation in regard to having a : natatorium in the park was the same as in Milwaukee. There are in all 600 acres of park land under the control of the park commissioners in Ashland, pretty good for a city of 6,000 inhabitants, but more than that, oursMs mostly natural, extend ing for three miles from the very heart of the city up Ashland canyon. "We have built miles of trails and scenic drives along the hillsides and are doing more every year. A beau tiful mountain stream with its wild rushing waters runs through the en tire distance, and that, together with the big trees and natural condition of the whole, can not be equaled by man. "That part of the park near the city has been improved with flower beds, shrubbery, tennis courts, play grounds, etc., under the supervision of John McLaren, the father of Gold en Gate park of San Francisco, and he also did the landscaping of the grounds at the Panama exposition last year, so you see we have one of the very finest parks on the Pacific coast right here in Ashland." Mr. Frohbach is also Interested in obtaining tourists to spend their time in Ashland and commends Wiscon sin's efforts to get more tourists to pass through the state. Speaking of this he says: j "We are located on the Pacific Highway and thousands of people travel it, and we had to devise some means to get them to stay at Ashland for a day or more, so we built this camp ground right in our park. I am telling you this story that some day you might want to have the in formation to start something like It in Milwaukee. You know that the tourists spend money, and wherever the best facilities are offered, there is where the money is spent, not alone for supplies, but amusements, etc. "Spaces are numbered for each car, giving them plenty of room for Printed sign cards of alt kinds In stock We are prepared to supply your needs at all times PLACARDS FOR SALE AT THE TIDINGS For Rent Cards Public Stenographer For Sale Cards Board and Room Rooms for Rent No Smoking ON LINEN AND CARDBOARD THE TIDINGS THE HOME OF GOOD PRINTING their tent and far enough apart so as to insure privacy.
