AGELIMIT ARGUMENT
GOVERNMENT CHEMIST AGREES
With DR.. OSLER.
That Man Is Old at 20 and His Abil.
ity Ceases at so Years Of Age-Dr.
Wiley Holds Out Consolation Of
Science for Future-He Tells All
About It.

A>O otdtemeul udue Ill TcCcuI years
by any member of the medical frater.
nifty created as much discussion in the
public press as the recent declaration
by DR.. Osler that man is old at 40
and his utility ceases about the age
of 60, according to medical science.
Because of the many exceptions TAX
en- to this so called medical heresy
enuneiated by the famous specialist,
few members of the medical frater.
nifty have dared to express themselves
along similar lines, even though they
looked upon the Osler theory as con-
tanning many elements of truth.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief Of the
government chemical bureau and a
personal friend of DR.. Osler, in an in
terview the other day Endorsed the
Osler theory that man is old at 40 and
his utility ceases at 60, but added that
science is already working to increase
the span of human life and in few
years a man may be 80 years of age
and Still be young. While indorsing
the theories of DR.. Osler, Dr. Wiley
holds out the consolation of science
for the future.
as the average man old at 60? 1t
is regrettable but nevertheless true"
said DR.. Wiley. "The average man at
go today is laid on the shelf. The veins
in his body have hardened and that is
the real sign of age. AS long as mans
veins remain fresh his body IS invigo-
rated, tissues are builded up as quick
ly as they decay and fear of death
need have no terrors; but when the
blood vessels harden, one of them is
apt to snap at any time, and this, in
a vast number of cases, is the cause
of death today"

IRRIGATION BILL NOT POPULAR.
Citizens Of Yakima Protest Against Its
Passage.

NORTH YAKIMA, Jan. 21-A mass
meeting of the farmers ana citizens of
North Yakima was held mere for the
purpose of discussing the irrigation
bill which has been introduced in the
legislature of this state. The meeting
has caused great interest and very
large number of farmers and citizens
was present After considerable dis
cussion it was agreed that the bill now
before the legislature would injure
the water consumers of Yakima coun-
ty, that many of it's provisions were
not practical and if put into opera
ton would embarrass the farmers and
users of water in Yakima county, and
mously recommended to be passed.
The consensus of opinion was that
the bill now before the legislature was
impracticable and if made law would
involve irrigated sections of the state
in much litigation and would prevent
capital from investing money in fu-
ture irrigation enterprises in this state.
A substitute bill will be sent to the
Yakima members of the legislature
and they will be asked not to pass the
bill now before them.
Much feeling has been aroused among
the farmers and citizens of North va
kima and it is generally conceded tnat
if the bill now before the legislature
is passed much expensive litigation
will occur and that the water consul
mers of Yakima county will be put to
a large and needless expense.

The distress of daily life is caused by the
supposed Inability to sleep, which in truth Is
in reality nothing more nor less than q bad
habit-of thought Lack of sleep brings on
nervous Affections of many kinds. Sleep
iessness can be cured, and 1t can be cured
without medicine. This has been proved by
those who have done 1t. What one can do
others can.
Now, the first thing necessary to sleep is
clear mind. How can you get 1t? BY will
Ing it, The same you exercise will in
other things. Drive out all the ideas that
are in your tired mind and close the door to
your brain. Quit thinking. One can control
thought sufficiently TO clear our every yes
tfge of 1t. and faithful practice will make it
unnecessary to lie awake night after night
because of mental anguish, sorrow, worry
or overwork.
Physical tension must give way One
should go to bed quietly and not excitedly.
Then should come perfect relaxation. Let
every agent of the body unfold until 1t Is a
dead weight Breathe gently, slowly, deep
ly, regularly, with closed lips and with your
neck bent sufficiently from the back to cut
off communication from the nerve and sense
ramifcations below to the brain above.
Have the room dark, well ventilated and
quiet. This will induce restful sleep and In
spire freshness and vigor for the succeeding
day. Practice this habitually.

Ii he Is not the source of her happiness he
probably has been the cause of her misery
The maiden's dream is ever of that one
who will some day come. like "Lochinvar
out of the west" and carry her away to the
Isle of Love and Sunshine. And the sad,
sweet-looking woman who assures you her
thoughts are never troubled by any mascu-
line hero no doubt has buried his image
nearest her heart, away from the cold and
cruel outside world. Woman's ideal of man
has varied greatly, and will continue to do
so, but she will ever immortalize one,
whether he be a knight or warrior bold or
a white-browed, poetic being, with all the
tender emotions.
If women are not making men happy they
are making them miserable.
Some one spoke the truth when he de-
clared that the sweetest music in the world
to a woman's ears is the voice of man
telling her that he loves her, and there are
