Look, of Fatjgue, ^mphasixed on His
Return to Capital.
WMhlngton.—The president; is over
trained.
Upo^ ills, rettmi from his trip tb
New York • and Newark, his friends
noticed that the fagged look he Jiaa
worn for the past weak or two was
.^reatl^ emphasi^d and that he
seemed worn out.
It is believed that he has been tak
ing too much exercise, and that this,'
combined with, the physical exertioiv
<rf his trips and his business cares,
have told in some measure on his
vitality.
All through this winter he has every
morning gone through a pretty stren
uous regime of physical training with,
his physical instructor, Dr. Barker.'
In addition to this, he has been walk
ing four or five miles eveary after
noon. The result is that, in the par
lance of the prize ring, he ^s “aver-
trained,’* and has tried to do too
much, with the idea of keeping him
self in good phiysical condition.
His friends are advising him to cut
down the exercise, both in the morn
ing and on the afternoon walks and
hcrrseback rides. Some have suggest
ed that he would do well to leave
Washington for a complete rest of
a week or ten days and go to some
point where he could have absolute
freedom from the cares of h!s o'Tice.
This he has so far refused to do.

In the past 12 months we have helped build and complete one store building and six
dwellings that cost more than $6,500.00, and want to double our helping capacity the
coming year. See Verdery ! Get busy! Heljp the town grow! by helping the town
you are helping yourselves. As an investment, if you never become a borrower, you
are assured of 6 per cent interest while your money will be helping the homeless to
build homes and become better citizens. This is true patriotism, and if you love your town
and county the Building and Loan Association offers the best Opportunity to show it.
