DIR. WOODWARD's VIEWS.
Doubts Propriety of Incorporating
MOman's Health Association.

OmNns Health AssOcIAt1On.
The Commissioners, in reporting on the
bill to incorporate the Woman's National
Health Protective Association have trans
mitted to Congress the report of Health
Officer Woodward thereon. DIR. Woodward
says that the scope of the proposed legis-
lation is national, and the bill should be
referred to the proper department of the
general government. As to the ACCESSIBILITY
of the passage Of the bill DIR. Woodward
thinks that its objects can be accomplished
by Individual citizens associations incor-
porated, and the health departments of the
various states and territories. Therefore.
Unless the proposed incorporators have
demonstrated special ability in the line of
work laid out, he sees no good reason vbv
the association should receive a charter
from Congress.

PICKED UP by CHANGE.

Col John Jacob Astor is not the first
of his name to bear that title. AT the out
break of the Civil War his father organ
lied regiment at his own expense,
equipped it and went to the front as it's
colonel. He made a good record as
soldier and was mustered out a very pop
ular man with his troops. There is good
deal of fighting blood in the Astors of this
generation, but not much of it comes
from the founder of the house in America.
He was essentially a man of peace and
commerce. 1t is a fact not generally
known that Col. Astor would, If he gave
the word, make formidable rival of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination in New York.
He did not happen to cut the figure Roose-
welt did in the two days fighting of July
and 2, but he was at his post. which was
a place of danger, and he endured all the
hardships of the campaign. He will re-
turn to New York after the war much
more popular man than he has ever been.

ing less expected by the men than the
appearance of Cerveras fleet and while
they were at church the enemy was
sighted and the men were all at their
post before the order to guns was given.
Of the general engagement he saw but
little. being too busy waiting upon his
gun. After the battle. he says. everyone
was speechless with wonder at the mirac-
ulous escape of the ship. as there seemed
to be continual flood of fire from the
Spanish vessels. He attributes the poor
shooting on the part of the Spaniards to
the fact that they had regulated the
sights of their guns while in the harbor
for a long range, and that when the
American beats ran in on them they
were too excited to change the sights and
thus shot over our vessels, into the sea
beyond. causing the boats to look as
though they were undergoing a rain of
enormous hail stones.
The first broadside fired at the Texas
by the Crfstobal Colon would have un-
doubtedly struck her fair had not the
Texas steamed toward her. but as it was
the shots all fell, in the Texas's dead
water.
Mr.. Thompson tanks that by reason Of
the paint on our ships having turned
white through the action of the saltpeter
in the tropical water. and being the same
color as the smoke from the guns, it was
not easy for the Spanish gunners to see
them. while theirs being darker could
be readily distinguished through the
smoke.
Mr. Thompson will return to his post of
duty tonight. and expects to go with his
ship TO the coast of Spain when the
Texas is ready for sea, should the Wat
son squadron be ordered to cross the At
iantic.

TO PRoLoNG LIFE.
The Secret Dies With the Man Who
Knew All About Ii

There died at Merchantsville. y. /
the other day. at the age of seventy
years. man who professed to have dis
covered the secret of long life, and who
announced that he would live 10 be a
hundred. 1t is probable ne had read the
pamphlet of Louis Carnaro. who lived To
a great age, and who. after Iorty. re-
duced the quantity of food consumed IN
til the yolk of one egg sufficed for two
meals. The Philadelphia Inquirer con-
siders it unfortunate that Kelley. the New
Jersey man, did not explain to The world
precisely what his diet consisted of. He
avoided tea and coffee, and appears to
have been underfed. He said that he
bathed his body once a week and his feet
four times week. but in spite of his
method he did not much exceed the Bib
lical limit of mans life But he was so
sure that he would live to be a centena-
rian that his viii assumed the attainment
and he directed that his body be mummi-
fled in the interest of science.
Inasmuch as he weighed in life only
about ninety pounds. it may be assumed,
without regard to his actual death that
he was the victim of a theory, and that
he might have lived longer had he lived
more generously. He considered that his
body would be of scientific Importance.
whereas, in fact it is of no more interest
than the cadaver of any other human be-
ing who has attained the very common
age of seventy years. 1t is not to be de-
MED, however, that Kelley had gotten
hold of an idea which was sound enough
in itself. His mistake was due to the
lack of knowledge, which would have en-
abled him to apply the idea TO his own
case. There is no doubt that death Often
comes as the result of the wearing out
of the body in the disposal of food which
nourishes it. But the saner mind of the
temperate Franklin will prolong life
while the enthusiastic tailor of Yesterday
with the desire and purpose to live, de-
stroys himself by his devotion to a hobby
and because he could grasp only one set
of elements in the problem of long ny-
ing.
Without specially aiming to do so, man
very often lives as long as it is desirable
for him to live. AS some one has said
the things which make life attractive are
taken from him one by one. in order that
he himself may be ready to go. No lot
could be more unfortunate than that OF
the man who should be so unhappy as to
outlive his entire environment, including
the friends of youth and middle age. the
wife of his bosom and his children. Even
if the man of 120 years had a fair amount
of physical vigor, he would feel in the
presence of thousands. with their inter-
ests, that he could not know, as Lonely
as Alexander Selkirk on his uninhabitej
island.
