Of course there might be two horses by
the same rafie and that might bother
them to decide just which horse was
entitled to the letter.
However, the little wrier felt very
certain that only one Dan Patch had
ever made a mile in I:s6, and that was
the particular horse she wished to speak
to-. SO the letter was addressed TO Dan
Patch. time I:56, value $4,000. After
that it was easy sailing for the mail
boys.
The FIRST man to pick up the letter
knew that such horses as herenvelope
described were most generally found in
Minnesota and the. letter was accordingly
started west and very soon reached ter
ritory where Dan was a personal friend
Of all The postoffice people and most
everyone else for that matter.
When Dan received the letter he felt
very proud as it contained a request for
a picture Under the circumstances he
sent the very best photo he had on hand

HOW TO LIVE FOR. z.....,
ONE HUNDRED YEARS

Chicago, March 2o.--For sudden
strong effort or severe trial, eat meat;
for long continued effort, for cndur-
ance, eat cereals; after exhausting men
tai labor, eat yolk OF eggs; after cx-
hausting physical labor, drink infused
tea; for pure brain stimulant. drink
coffee; for paleness, eat lean meat and
spinnach; to make gray brain matter.
eat eggs, beans and oats; for sound
sleep, eat onions and garlic.
q BY following the above precepts laid
down to the National Promotion of
Health Club by DR.. !. B. S.. King here
today, you will live to be 100 years
old. At any rate the doctor says so.
St'The first thirty-threc years of mans
life is for growth, he declared, 'sthe
breast bone; which at the thirty-third
year is composed OF three bones, then
consolidates into one ending the
growing period. The next thirty
three years is for work The remain
ing period is for the enjoyment of the
fruits ,of labor.
Many people who get stout at their
fortietli year think they are IN fine
shape. lit is a. ainistaken idea Stout
ness at 40 is a sign OF old age as much
as graysliair. When il is noticed, the
diet should be cut down one-third The
ideal old age is to be lean, spare and
active. Old age. however, loves fat,
while youth detests it.
Oats for children and Indian corn
for adults is almost perfect food. Meat
is only food for severe effort. Too
much meat, however, causes bad tenn
per. The nearest approach to per-
feet brain stifnulant is coffee

Mr.. Rockefeller is not seeking vinr

one to shield him in evil courses He
is, as is we'll known a minority stock
holder hi the Standard Oil CO.., and a
large part Of his wealth has been de-

a case OF Mr.. Rockefeller's seeking
self justification, but it is that Of a
noble enterprise lii it's extreme aid,
making its appeal to- him. TO that ap-
peal he yielded, not in any way making
the board his partper and not asking
az TO give him any approval. He SIMPLY
responded to All earnest request and
left the board as free from responsible

was before. Il
Why refuse Mr.. Rockefcller's mon
Hey and accept the gifts. of other stock
holders Of the Standard Oil Co. No
one doubted that money derived from
that and other similar sources goes iii-i
to the church. If lie had asked II TO!
1t goes into partnership with
him II ought to have refused because
he has asked nothing Of the kind. He
has simply said: 4 realize that cer~S
