LOVE AND LONGEVITY.

IF you want to live a 100 years
don't fall in love-"
Thus spoke Samuel Oppenheimer
of New York some time ago to the
Hundred Year Club of which he is
q member. And these are his rea-
sons: If you strengthen the mind
you strengthen the body. Love
shackIes the mind. A man in love
blows hot and cold. He signs. He
disturbs his mind. The maiden who
is in love, bushes. Her pulse is fast,
then slow. And of all pangs that of
disappointed love is bitterest.
Mr.. Oppenheimer goes further:
Envy is slow fever. Shame will
produce inflammation of the skin. Ha-
tired is the cause of many chronic
diseases. Ambition brings on insOm-
mia. Mental strain brings on NOR
bid physical condition. Anxiety may
cause jaundice. Prolonged anxiety
will produce cancer"
Psychology and medical science
say there is much of truth in what
this centenarian says. Now
Few persons can escape mental
strain. Modern conditions make
stress. Few can live philosophicaIly.
Temperaments forbid. We cannot
dodge anxiety or even envy or ambi-
ton, much less love. Most nervous
systems are tuned to high pitch.
And just here modern science steps
in and speaks a potent word-RelaX-
alton.
To that large number of persons
who can not always keep their men
tai equipoise this recipe will bring
restoration and healing.
1t matters not how busy your life
may be, you owe it to yourself to save
a few minutes every day for relaXa-
ton. Give mind and muscles and
nerves complete rest. Practice
will enable you to accomplish this in
a very few minutes.
OF course, if you are in love the
case is different. But the last word
of the latest science is this: Relax.

More Sneak Campaigning

1t was a Jacksonville effort, this
time, and it consisted of a telegram
sent to an alleged democratic news
paper in Tampa announcing that the
liquor dealers of Florida had organ
lied and made a deal with Senator
Taliaferro's friends for mutual sup
port. OF course there was not a
word of truth in the reference to the
Senator. The alleged "rumor" was
manufactured for the express pur-
pose of injuring Senator Taliaferrc
before the people of the state, and
few will fail to detect its purpose or
it's falsity, TWAS raw, bungling
and badly bungled job, worthy only
of the stupidest of stupid would-be
political fake manufacturers.
Another similar Jacksonville effort
occurred week or two ago, probab-
ly emanating from the same source
as the above, in which wild and
woolly tale of contemplated Gland
grabbing" on the part of the rail-
roads, to be pulled off when Davis is
elected Governor, was sent, or pur-
ported to be sent, to a Jennings pa
per at Live Oak, and was reproduced
in the same Tampa paper which con-
tanned the above mentioned fake.
1t is too bad that the intelligence
of long-suffering and unoffending
public should be thus insulted by
such transparent attempts at politi-
cal trickery; but it is fortunate that
Florida possesses only two or three
publications low enough in the scale
to admit such stuff to their columns.

serted that the Senator has accom-
plished little or nothing while repre-
senting the people of Florida in the
Senate. Hence it may be well to
call attention to the facts, as shown
by the Congressional Record. Here
is an abstract of the bills introduced
by the Senator in the seth and 57th
Congresses:
Total bills and resolutions, 80
Passed both Houses, 10
Passed Senate only, 6
Referred to Court of Claims, 8
Read twice and referred, l6
Indefinitely postponed, 2
1t will appear from the foregoing
that more than twenty-five and one
half per cent of the whole number
introduced passed both Houses of
Congress and became laws; nearly
fifteen and one-half per cent passed
the Senate but failed or failed to
come up in the House; nearly thir-
teen per cent, pension and relief
bills, were referred for settlement to
the Court of Claims; a fraction over
forty-one per cent did not reach a
third reading on the calendar, while
only fraction over five per cent of
the whole number were defeated in
the Senate by indefinite postpone
ment.
