HEALTH IN OLD AGE.
insured by Moderation in Living
When One Is in the pullness
of Youth.

Infancy and old age are frequently
referred to as analogous states. In
point of fact they are much more
nearly opposites. Infancy is the ex-
banding, rapidly developing period,
while old age is time when the It's
sues shrink, as it were, to accommo-
date the lessening vital forces. It
cannot be said that all persons reach
old age at 20, although by this time
the majority of people find it neces-
sary to curtail their activities, says
Youths Companion.
The signals which indicate a need
Tor tightening the load upon the vital
forces as old age comes on are usu-
ally unmistakabie. There is de-
creased capacity for work. The
heart-beats are weaker, the muscles
and joints less flexible. Acute dis
eases are more to be feared. 1t is
not uncommon for the aged to recov-
er from serious injuries and from
severe attacks of illness; but such re-
coveries are not the rule.
One of the important questions
connected with the hygiene of old
age relates to the degree to which
one should modify ones previous hab-
its of life. 1t may be said positively
that all sudden or directly rever-
sionary changes are to be stunned.
For example, one who has always
walked as daily habit would be un-
wise to give up the custom complete
ly because of having passed certain
birthday. In the same way it is sell
dom advisable to abandon even the
cares of business entirely, lest the
seeking for something else with
which to fill the gap thus created
should be unsuccessful.
Extremes of all sorts are so many
dangers to be avoided. A certain
elasticity of muscle, bone and blood
vessel is lacking, and as a result the
system is untitled for sudden strain.
A strenuous life can no longer be
pursued with safety. Severe trials of
muscular and mental energy, even Sc
we're trials of temper, are out of place.
Natures suggestions in regard to
food must be needed. A simple, cas-
lily digested diet should be the rule.
To say that the aged require less
food than at former periods would
be unnecessary, only that a dimin-
ished appetite in old persons is some
times regarded by them as a serious
symptom, and one to be struggled
against.
Not infrequently it is found advan-
tageous in later life to take food in
small amounts and at short inter-
walls. 1t will be observed, also, that a
lowered vitality calls for more sleep
as means o. preserving the bright
er qualities of the mind.
While heavy cares are properly
shifted from the shoulders of the
aged, it must be remembered that in
terest in life is largely maintained by
virtue of helpful attitude toward
others, and to insist that the aged
member of the household shall do
nothing is mistaken kindness.
While the amount of work which
may be done is curtailed by advanced
age, instances are not lacking to
show that the quality of mental labor
performed is not necessarily lowered.

willing to Die on a Fun stomach.

Col. Kekewich, during the siege of
Kimberley, was approached by pri-
vate who asked: Colonel, when do
you expect we are going to get
something to eat?" "Eat!" exclaimed
the colonel, did you join the army
merely to get something to eat?"
"Well, that's about the size of it,"
"Here," calling an officer, ''give this
man something to eat, and then have
him shot" The officer understood
the joke, and replied: "All right,
colonel" The private, exhibiting no
alarm, said: boil me . ham, cap'n,
stew up couple of chickens, bake
two or three pounds of potatoes,
fetch a gallon O. beer, and load yer
guns. With such inducements the
man what wouldn't be willing to Gle
is a blithering IDIOT" A hearty
meal was prepared for the soldier,
but he still ives.-Chicago-R Record

summer school.

More than 900 devoted educators are
now enrolled in the summer school at
the state university. The attendance
is about 100 less than last year, but
this is attributed by Prof. d. L. Kiehle
to the fact that the present term is six
weeks, where but four weeks has
heretofore been the time, shutting out
many teachers who did not feel able to
bear the expense of the longer term.

The first time a Birmingham au- dience has had an opportunity to pass on it's merits was last night when it was interpreted by the Boyle Stock Com pany. This organization has made reputation for earnest, careful work during it's few weeks of life and 1t lost nothing by it's performance in Under Two Flags" There were a few slips, in- cidentaI to a first night, but in the main everything went along smoothly. The leading character, "Cigarette,' as every one knows is a very difficult one to fill. Miss Esther Lyons, a recent addition to the organization, assumed the role and the vigorous curtain calls at the end or each act Is ample assurance that she pleased Miss Lyons has a keen con ception of the conflicting emotions with which ouida has endowed her famous character. She portrays them in an easy, graceful way-not in that loud. blustry manner which an actress in a hoyendish role is likely to fall into Kendall Weston as Bertie Cecil, J. H. Hollingshead as ''The Black Hawk and Morris McHugh as "Berties Valet deserve mention for earnest work. The play was lavishly staged.

A Stranger In a Strange Land.

The attraction at the Jefferson Theatre Monday matinee and night. October 21, will be William A Brady and Joseph R. Grismer's production "A Stranger in Strange Land'
 "A Stranger in a Strange Land" Is the joint work of Sidney Wilmer and Walter Vincent, two American authors, who have had some success already in bringing into existence some laugh-provoking creations. This play had its Initial presentation at the New York Manhattan Theatre and from the opening night scored, it Is said, a great hit and at each succeeding per formance the capacity of the theatre was taxed by the crowds who desired to wit ness it.
 The scene is laid in England and illus trates family that one often hears of on the other side, where the knowledge of the topography of America is encom- passed in the idea that San Francisco is few hours ride from New York and that Niagara Falls is just in the rear of Har- lem. An American Indian who is gener- ally introduced to the stage bedaubed with war paint, wildly fiourishing toma- hawks and scalping knives, is here shown in his true character. Uncouth not tidy, with propensity for stealing everything he can get his hands on and an ever un- satisfied thirst for liquor, with no higher ambition than to eat and sleep. The com- plications that arise by the introduction of a bogus Indian along with the gen. uine. are extremely novel and funny. A glance at the cast evidences very strongly that an entertainment out of the ordinary is in store for those who witness this production.
 MT. F. J. Donnelly, an actor unknown to stellar fame, impersonates the role of the Indian, while the leading juvenile role Is assumed by William Friend; Charles Drake impersonates the jolly old uncle, one of those unctous creations in which he is happy. The other members of the cast include Harry Bond, D. H. Bender, Charles N. Lum, Cyril Young, L. R. Willard, E. V. Giroux, Misses Amanda Wellington. Fannie c. Ferris. Elsie Will lard and Vera Irving.

NEW QUARTERS OF ROBERTS 6 SON.

eral years they have occupied a large building in Second avenue opposite the United States government building, where it was reasonable to suppose they would be ensconsed for years to come but Birm- ingham's wealth and general business called them to more commodius quarters and they found it necessary to have con- structed a building to suit their large and growing business and to give this busi- ness permanent home; so the firm has just moved into the new "Stites Build ing" just erected In Third avenue be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
 This is needed printing and publishing house.
 The basement contains a storage room and heating and electrical apparatus.
 On the first floor, to the right as you enter, you will observe a well selected and beautifully displayed stock of station cry, filing cabinets. office furniture and sectional book cases; also ladies fancy stationery.
 In the rear on a 'mezzanine floor Is the manager and book-keeper's office, hand somely fitted up, with a full corps of honest, earnest workers.
 On the third floor is the stock room and book -bindery 50x140 feet, where can be seen papers, pasteboards and all kinds of printing and hthographic stock-per- haps the largest in the State, together with the machinery of the m ost complete book -bindery in the South.
 The fourth floor, 50x140 feet, is used for the numerous presses and type setting. cutting and folding machinery of the company, which Is second to none in the south.
 Here anything can be printed from a visiting card to the largest poster, and at prices that absolutely defy competi- ton.
 The new building of Roberts & Son is thoroughly equipped with electrical ap- pliances and has its own telephonic sys- tenn.
 It must be especially noted that Rob- erts & Son have in connection with this printing house the only Photographic es- tablishment in the state, They do perfect work at prices in competition with the universe and if thousand of dollars are sent out of the state each year by the public it is because they do not investi- gate the merits of work done by this home institution.
 This great printing house was estab- lished in 1872 by MT. Willis Roberts (now deceased) father of Mr. Charles Roberts. who is at present at the head of the es- tablishment. Birmingham was then only one year old, but MT. Roberts saw the future and laid the foundation of a profit able business, which his scions now en- joy.
 The officers of the printing and pub fishing house of Roberts & Son are Charles Roberts president; R. c. Booth. secretary and treasurer. They employ about sixty people and have a monthly pay roll exceeding 5000.
 It Is this kind of institutions, without commissaries. that distribute money and make possible the commercial building up of Birmingham; and they deserve the pa- tronage of the commercial community.
