CHANCES OF LONGEVITY.
Primary Conditions Necessary to a Long
and Healthy Life.

and Healthy Life
The primary conditions of longev-
ity," the Medical Record quotes Mr..
l.. w. Warner as saying. are that the
heart, lungs and digestive organs, as
we'll as the brain, should be large. If
these organs are large the trunk will
be long and the limbs comparatively
short. The person will appear tall
in sitting and short in standing. The
hand will have long and somewhat
heavy palm and short fingers. The
brain will be deeply seated. as shown b.
the orifice of the ear being low. Thc
blue hazel or brown hazel eye, as show
ing an intermission of temperament
is Il favorable indication. The nostrl>
being large, open and free indicates
large lungs. y pinched and half-closed
nostril indicates small or weak lungs.
In the case of persons who have
short-lived parentage on one side anu
long-lived on the other side the ques-
ton becomes more involved. 1t i
shown in grating by hybridizing thai
nature makes a supreme effort to pass
the period OF the shorter longevity and
extend the life to the greater longevity.
Anyone who understands these Wea X
and dangerous periods of life is fore
warned and forarmcd. 1t has been OF
served that the children of lonG-lived
parents mature much later and arc
usually backward in their studies.

THE Atchison Globe makes query
much to the point: The income tax

MANY STILL SPEAK GAELIC.
By No Means an Extinct Language in
Snite Of Its Position Here.

Spite of Its Position Here.
\ new appointment has been made
from Waterford to the chair of profess
sor of Gaelic in Maynooth college, Ire
land. The new appointee is member
of the Gaelic league of Dublin, ana
was the first editor Of the Archaeolog
icaI Journal, of Waterford. The opln-
ion is very general that Gaelic Is an
extinct language, or one nearly eN-
tinct. and the labOrs of the Gaelic SO
ciety in New York to revive its use
have lent some color to that opinion.
Nevertheless, as figures show, the
Gaelic tongue is most tenacious, and
according to the last reports, is spoken,
though not exclusively, by 100000
persons in the British Isles-6OO,OOO III
ireland. $4,000 in Wales and 100000 iii
Scotland.
Though English is the official Ian
euarc of all these countries, the pop
uIaritv of English increases slowly de-
spite the disadvantage under which
those who use Gaelic labor, that of hav-
ing no established grammar and no
recognition in an official way. Gaelic
fulfIls the coIloquial requirements OF
the farmers and fishermen in the cOun-
ties remote from the large cities, some
what as the Basque language continues
to be popular in the northern provinces
of Spain.
In this country Gaelic has made little
Roadway, though many patriotic Irish
men have by various methods endeav-
ored to acquaint others less patriotic
with it's advantages. While the use of
most European languages has about
doubled in rs years, five times as many
uerSOns sneak English as did in 1920.

alarming spread of consumption
among the Osages, which threat

Progressive men are beginning

fearing a revision of the constitu-
