Grow Young a. You Grow Old.

Next to air and food In the human
economy comes exercise. We may
have plenty Of fresh air, and n proper
allowance of the right kind Of food,
and yet, without helpful daily exer.
else these will not avail to keep the
body In good condition. In answer to
the question, "Why do we grow old?"
a French writer gives these three req.
sons: I'VE do not get enough phys.
ical exercise in the open air, we are
poisoned by microbes. which the pha-
gocytes have not succeeded in de-
stroying and we are depressed by fear
of DEATH" OF the three reasons 1t
will be noted that he gives the place
of first importance to lack of exercise.
There Is nothing else which can take
the place Of physical activity as n
preserver of youth and, energy. "Grow
young as you grow older by cultivat-
ing moderate love OF good, hcalthful.
honest sport" Is sound advice. Walk
ing, running, jumping, rowing, play
ing golf, tennis or croquet, or any other
mild form of exercise in the open air
keeps the muscles supple and pre-
vents the joints from stffcning, fills
the lungs with llfc-giving oxygen and
keeps the blood from becoming slug
glsh or the liver torpid. In short, il
is exercise that keeps the body in
tune and up to concert pitch Just ms
exercise keeps the voice or II musical
instrument In perfect tOne,-Success.

CHINESE EDITORS IN PERIL.
Death Penalty Etsrnaiiy Hangs Over
Slant. Eyed Journalistic.

Death Penalty Etsrnaiiy Hauss Over
Slant. Eyed Journalistic.
In Germany the position Of news.
paper editor Is n precarious one, says
the indianapolis Journal. He must be
very careful not to criticise the Empe-
ror, or otherwise to incur the wrath
Of the press censor. or he will be
thrown into Jail and his paper will be
suspended. But In China 1t Is even
worse. The offending editor who ex.
presses opinions cont nry to those Of
the administration is liable to the ex.
treme penalty--death In no merciful
g,iise.
Several months ago preacher Of re.
form Pekln was beatcn to death
with bamboo rods. Later the editors
Of the publication called supao were
charged with sedition. Their sedition
consisted in advocating more modern
methods in the administration Of tho
government. This brought down upon
them the anger Of the Dowager En-.
press, who ordered their instant appre.
hension. It appears. however, that the
editors had realized the enOrmity Of
their offense. for they sought refuge
in the foreign reservation, where they
came under the protection Of the con.
sulates.
The question whether the daring
newspaper men should be surrendered
to the native authorities was referred
to the legations. 1t was certain that II
this should be done cruel and barbar-
Gus punishments would follow. The
British consul stoutly opposed giving
the fugitives up. but, for some reason
or other, United States Minister Con.
ger sided with the Russian representa-.
tive, who wished to accede to the Chi.
nese demand. An agreement was final.
" reached to detain the newspaper
men for trial by mixed tribunal.
The trial has not yet taken place.
On nothing more than an accusation
| the men have been kept In prison, all
bail having been refused. And now
the government announces that a spe.
cial deputy will he appointed to hear
the case. and that this deputy will be
instructed not to be lenient should the
defendants be found guilty. Evidently
the penalty has already been decided
upon, and the trial will be a more
form. All OF which goes to show that
the life Of the Chinese editor Is not
one grand sweet song. and that he who
incurs the wrath of the Chinese law Ii
the most unenviable Of culprits.
