Mr. Eli Potts is a well-known citi-
zen of Waverly, Ohio, having been in
business there for fourteen years. He
is veteran of the Mexican war, in
which he served with Company H, of
the Fourteenth Tennessee regiment.
At the age of 76 he bears the respect
of all who know him, and the follow
ing experience, related by him, is
raised beyond all doubt by the high
character of the narrator. He says:
About seven years ago a disease
fastened upon me which, as it devel-
oped, proved to be locomotor ataXia.
1 became very nervous, could not walk
without having dizzy spells, and did
not sleep well. AS the disease adj
vanced L lost control of my muscles
and could only walk short distance.
1 could not control the direction of my
steps and was always afraid of falling.
This continued until the fall of 1897,
when there was a breaking down of
in bad condition, and I suffered greatly
with kidney trouble caused by being
| thrown out of a buggy.

MONROE'S

The country was but weakling
when President Monroe's declara-
ton in an annual message, was
published. He boldly advocated
a policy forhidding the interiors
ence of any European nation in
the domestic affairs Of Central or
South America. When he did this
reaction was very powerful, and
the Holy Alliance thought itself
strong enough to rule the earth.
Napoleon had been overthrown
by British arms, and Russia and
Austria rushed in to claim all in
sight They proposed to restore
all ancient rights -to give back
to King Ferdinand of Spain his
American possessions, among
other things. This brought out
the declaration of President Mon
roe. A mere STRIPPING of a country
boldly faced the Holy Alliance!
England, however, did not relish
reaction, aud the Holy Alliance
could not act without England's
cooperation in SO distant an
enterprise, and so it happened
that the Monroe Doctrine became
operative from the start.
America has become a giant
herself, and the Monroe Doctrine
has stood all these years practi-
cally unassailed. The etfete mon
arches of the East fret under it,
but they respect it. The Emperor
of Germany would like to annul
it, but he has never seen a way to
do it, and he never will. No
country will, for America has
grown b 6, and the Doctrine has
become a pa t Of our national his
tory ana belief.
1t in no way involv,s u alb.
stention from the acquisition Of
territory in other parts of the
world. It simply declares that
Europe shall not be permitted te
take a hand in the domestic at.
fairs of the Americans. Europs
has three continents that it car
regulate, but it cannot regulate
home affairs in America. This
doctrine is as vigorous as it ever
has been, and it will stand while
this country is strong enough t.
strike an effective blow.

L~ENGTHENING HUMAN LIFE

A bulletin giving the mortality
statistics of the eleventh census,
shows that the average age of
death for the decade ending 1900
was 31.1 years, as compared with
36.2 for the decade ending 1900
This is a remarkable gain for
ten years and denotes that condi-
items are developing IN this coun-
try which are prolonging the lives
of the inhabitants. Thus are the
the cries of those who persist in
declaring that the latter day mode
Of living is too severe on the hu
man machinery rudely shattered.
AS the Kansas City Star res
marks the diversity of nutrition
which was once considered so DEL
eterious, tie expansion OF COM
forts which were formerly rated
as enervating and pernicious, and
the mems of sanitation which
were regarded with such fine and
sturdy scorn by the noble pio-
neers and old settlers, have grad
ually but certainly heightened the
tenure of human existence, and
there is nc getting away from it.
To make the matter worse, it is
actually believed that if Ameri-
cans keep up their present stren-
uous mode Of life, and persist in
devoiing themselves to business
without relaxation, not to speak
of the dangerous habit in which
they indulgn Of boiling their foot
they may come, by-and-by, to liv'
