The Hygiene of Old Age.

We look upon the aged with good
reason as having slender hold up
on life, one that may be loosened
by slight shock of injury or dis
ease which, in the young or middle
aged. would serve only as stimu-
lus TO the reparative vital powers.
This is "A conservative belief, but II
warns us to shield our loved ones,
who have fought the fight, from all
influences which might shorten
their stay with us. But we must
not 90 too far in our solicitude, tor
injury may be inflicted and life
shortened by coddling the old, al
most az surely as by coddling the
Young. The vital process in the
aged are Glow, but they are still ex'
is,ent, and they may be kept active
by gentle opposition and stimuia-
ton, just as they may be increased
in childhood and youth by rough
methods. DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep

WAS KILLED INSTANTLY

John P. Hendrickson while driving a
fractious colt Monday was thrown from
his wagon and almost instantly killed.
The animal which had at times eyinced
desire to become active became fright
ened while passing Greenwalt's creamery
near Stanton. Mr.. Hendrickson thought
that he would be able to quiet the colt
was unable to do so. He was suddenly
hurled from his seat in the wagon and
landed against the bridge beyond Stanton
with such force that he was made uncon-
scious. Several persons who observed
Mr.. Hendrickson fall, went to his assist
ance and found him lying upon the
bridge. A hurried examination revealed
the fact that the mans skull was frac-
tured and his neck broken. Death was
almost instantaneous. The horse kept
on his wild plunge, and becoming tangled
up in the reins landed in the ditch beside
the road.
Mr.. Hendrickson was 43 years old and
leaves a wife and three children. The
dead man lived at Choate's Station, near
Newark, and kept butcher stand in
King street market, Wilmington.
