DOES HUsTLING SHORTEN LIFEP

From Harper's Weekly.
1t seems that we were all wrong about
the hurtful and life-shortening effect Of
American hustle Our national motto
may be said to have been "A short life,
but a strenuous one" We were willing,
as Il people, to have the span shortened a
little if only we could have something
worth while, something active and effect
i've, going on all the time. But 1t seems,
according to the latest bulletin of the
census\ bureau, that the fast life is also
the long one. Our ''median age''-that Is,
the age which is such that half the popu-
lation is under 1t and half over it's more
than seven years greater than 1t was Il
century ago, and increases from decade
to decade. We are surprising even the
loose -jOinted, indolent, beautifully re-
laXed, nevery- worrying African in our
midst for wheraas the mcdlan age of our
American whites is pa years that of the
devil-may- care colored person Is but 1S,3.
Lately much confusion has arisen in the
minds of many Americans over the state
ment made by certain eminent neurolo-
gists that it is next to impossible for
man to "overwork,' provided his bodily
functions are kept in good order by tenn
perate and wholesome living. Other ply
worry spell death. We had accepted the
latter Judgment, with the qualifying re-
Election that no matter what science tells
us. it always seems to have another
think coming" This census bulletin
which links the long life with the fast
one appears to be the other think"

KNEW HOW,
To Stay at Post While Others Got
Sick.

How "a trained nurse Keeps up
strength on properly selected food is
worth knowing. The experience of Mrs.
Charlotte Frank, of Covington, Ky, is
probably familiar to many. She SAYS:
II am professional nurse and most
of my time is spent in the sick room.
Last Spring l attended a very serious
case and after ten weeks close applica- =
tion l was in such a condition that |
could neither eat nor sleep, being too
much worn out. After tossing i'm bed
one night for three hours without be-
ing able,t sleep l happened to think
ofrGpape-Nuts and the good it had done
IA number of my patients.
s5""I got up and ate one-half cup of the
food with about that much milk and re-
turned to bed and slept five hours, and
when \ aWoke / felt fresh and strong
again. The continued use of Grape
Nuts enabled me to stay at my post
while others got sick,
a'''I have son eighteen years old he
is six feet and one inch tail. He was
so thin that the doctors and myself
thought he had consumption. l COM
.menced giving him Grape-Nuts every
day and he gained rapidly in weight
and now is healthy and strong.
IA family in Cincinnati on my advice
gave Grape-N Nuts to a sick child whom
no doctor could help. The girl is now
well and strong. Another father had
the same, experience with his youngest
child and he is loud in the praise of
Grape-Nuts.
"One of my former patients who went
to England, had little child that suf-
fered four years with stomach trouble.
last May the mother and child came
back home, both sick. / advised them
what I thought best. The child, now
five years old, ate Grape-Nuts three
times a day and the mother once day.
When they went back to England in
September they We're in the best of
health and took with them upon the
steamer fourteen boxes of Grape Nuts
their only fear was that they might
not be, able to get 1t in England. The
mother wrote me afterward that she
had not been SO seasiek this time as
Bas the case before.'

attempt to derail a train. IIighwaymen
who do that have at least a reason; they
want to rob the dead. But the dyna-
inter has not even that excuse He kills
from cruelty; he kills a man he has never
seen, not in bold and open duel, or even
with the chance of hurt in a street fight,
but at night, lighting his fuse and run
ming to safe distance leaving his Sleep
ing victim to be blown to pieces. The
thing is monstrous. Among men who
talk loudly of human brotherhood and
right-and these dynamiters talk loudest
of that-it is so preposterous that it be-
comes almost farcical, if tragedy could
be farcical. But the cure will not be in
mere prohibition of murder. There must
be a prohibition of the sale of dynamite
to individuals; it must be made illegal
to have possession of it, There is little
sense in those laws that forbid the use of
arms, explosives and poisons, yet allow
them to be sold to law breakers as freely
as soft coal is sold in this city. And
against the wretch who seeks to put an
other to death, not in a quarrel, not even
as a revenge, but in cold blooded malign-
ity or class hatred. society has not one
recourse, and that is in his death.

CUBA, OUR WARD.

For The Tribune by Walter j. Ballard.
Nobody contends that our trade with
Cuba amounts to SO little as not to be
worth the effort to keep and increase it,.
Yet the figures of Cuban trade recently
given out by the bureau of insulnr af-
fairs show that during the period of
American occupation of Cuba the island
bought only 43 per cent Of its foreign
purchases in this country. 1t is ready
and anxious to buy more if the United
States will only consent to Il reasonable
measure of reciprocity. In fact, there is
no good reason why Americans should
not supply Cuba with all that she huys
outside, and it will be poor business judg-
ment If an arrangement to bring about
this is not entered into.-Troy, n. Y.
Times.
I'VE are justly proud of our country's
record in behalf of Cuba and i'm Cuba.
We are in favor of Il policy which, while
giving Cuba a favorable opportunity to
find here n market for her products, will
give us the trade of the Cuban people for
what they need to buy abroad. We,
therefore. heartily second the position of
President Roosevelt in demanding reci-
procity with Cuba on the grounds of hu-
manity of fair dealing, and our coun-
try's interests. .'-,'ongressional Conven-

2O7 sugar mills, with daily production

depopulating effect of the war in Cuba
with that of 1877. In the latter year it
was 1,63l,6 or $1,000 more than twelve
years later, in 1899. Allowing for the
probable increase in the population be-
tween 1887 and 1895, the year in which the
insurrection broke out the loss of life,
as indicated by the two censuses, may he
estimated at nearly 100000. u loss to be
