A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty vigorous old
men at the tables; men whose ages
run from 90 to so years; many of
them bald and all perhaps gray, but
none of them feeble or seniie?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to. have escaped your observation
or comment. but nevertheless it is an
object lesson which means something.
II you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will OBJ
serve that they are not munching
bran crackers nor gingerly picking
their way through menu card of new
tangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer juicy roast of
beef, a properly turned loin Of NUT
ton, and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored
The point Of all this is that vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-

not upon dieting and an endeavor to

versary of the birth of Charles f. Mid
dleton, one of the early settlers of
Weber county. and now one OF the

ties held in honor of his natal day.
These festivities were held the proceed

by just half a hundred of his immedi-
ate descendants, with their husbands
and wives. There were just thirteen
of his grandchildren unable to attend.
The new home into which he recently
moved is located on the lot secured by
him when a 16-year-Old boy, in 1854.
He has ever since held the lot for
building spot to be used as the site
Tor home during the latter part Of
his life The title has never passed
from him in ali the fifty-three years
of varying fortunes, and the compile
ton of his fine new home and its dedi-
cation formed a subject of much in
terest and the keenest qualification for
his friends and relatives. A most i'm
pressive part of the celebration was
the dedication of the new building and
its surroundings as a home by the
venerable father and grandfather him
self.

range of talent and activity existing
