be recalled that Kubelik was simply

just as gullible now as they were ten or

related that a Missouri stoclkman was
drawing $4,000 out of a bank to purchase
two gold disks worth $4,000 when the
cashier became suspicious, began to ask
questions and finally learned enough to
keep the stockman from paying over his
money until the deal could be investf-
gated. 1t was the same old gold brick
ruse. The only change vas in the shape

the form of disks, to be sure. but still it
was the gold brick swindle, and If the in

nothing to show for his expenditure but

David Belaseo has been criticized for
playing such prominent part in the Nan
Patterson trial. Not content with being
studied spectator, affecting a pose that
almost overwhelmed the fair sex with
admiration, he must air his views In the
yellow papers. Mr.. Beasco ha done very
well in his chosen vocation as a play
wright and producer, but he descended to
sensationalism when he became a figure
in the Patterson trial. Clara Morris, who
should have known better, and several
literary lights who were no doubt taking
advantage of chance to advertise
themselves and receive a handsome stp-
end, told the public what they thought of
Nan Patterson. Their time could have
been spent more profitably and more SEN
sibly doing something else.

 4 Keep the mind youthful. Live in the present with all the other young people. Don't get to be reminiscent. Let the old people talk about the past. for the mere act of thinking about old "Reminiscences are dangerous--whether they be soothing or sweet or sad--for they characterize old age, and must be sedulously avoided by those who would be ever young.
 5. Keep up with the times. Don't fall behind the procession. To accomplish this learn one new fact every day The mind that Is satisfied to live upon the lessons 1t learned in its youth soon grows old and musty. To keep young 1t must be fresh and active-that is, abreast with the times. The old meth ods of thought and the old facts may have been correct enough once upon a time, but that time has passed. Today they are obsolete and only amusing as relics of antiquity. To remain young. therefore, one must keep the storehouse of the memory clear of all such rubbish. Throw away one of the mildewed relics 'every day and replace 1t with some newer. fresheV and more up-to-date fact.
 Here, then, Is this New York physi- clans secret of perennial youth in a nutshell:

 A famous New York physician, now hale and handsome at 75, sums up his half century of medical practice and observation in these simple rules of health:
 1. Be temperate in all things. in mat ters of amusement or study as we'll as In regard to foods and drinks. To be temperate in all things. however, does not imply that one must be a prohibit tionist about anything.
 2. Don't be afraid to go to sleep, for sleep Is the best restorer of wasted energies. Sleep a certain number of hours every night. and then remember that a short nap during the day is a safer rejuvenator than a cocktail.
 3. Don't worry-either about the past or the future. To waste a single hour in regret for the past is as senseless as to send good money after that which has been irrecoverably lost. To fret ones self about what the future may
