ONE HUNDRED YEARS
RULES FOR LIVING TO THAT AGE
Moderation, Good Nature, Plenty Of
Sleep, Plenty of Exercise and
Vegetable Diet.

Live to be a hundred years old. It's
easy II you know how, and a London
specialist tells you how. Here Is his
recipe. The Herald publishes it free
SO that If anybody dies before he has
reached the allotted age he can't
blame us:
BE moderate.
do not worry
Take plenty of sleep.
Take plenty of exercise.
Eat plenty of sugar. rice. peas.
fruit, potatoes, bread and milk.
Eat sparingly of fish and meat.
Almost any person possessing a
healthy constitution could live to be a
hundred" says this same specialist.
Sir James CrichtonBowne in a pa
per lately read before the public health
congress in London declared that 'it is
good working hypothesis to regard
the natural life of man as 100 years"
These eminent authorities thus remove
all excuse for death at the early age of
eighty or ninety The patriarch who
has attained his three score and ten"
is but a blooming youth. with at least
thirty years of hard hustle still be-
fore him. He who at that proverbially
ripe age thinks he has finished his life
job and contentedly lies down to pleas
ant death is a miserable gutter"
But these eminent specialists, who
talk so learnedly, are. after all. only
theorists. Neither of them has yet at
tanned 100 years himself or anywhere
near it. Perhaps long before they
reach the century mark that now looks
so easy to them their error will be
buried with them.
For more thousands of years than
can be accurately computed men have
made it their chief concern to live Just
as long as they can. Precious few, in
modern times. at least, have succeeded
in passing 100 years. So the secret
cannot be as simple as it is made to

 Alaska has been entreating congress for thirty years and more to grant this great area-it is nothing else-some sort of government.

He says the east fears the growing powers of the northwest and for no other reason Alaska is denied rights she would receive instanter if she lay on the Atlantic rather than on the Pacific coast. Territorial government wonld be the stepping stone to state government, and that would carry with it increased opposition from the north west for the eastern congressman to contend with At first glance it seems preposterous that members of the gov erning bodies of the great United States government would deny privileges ac- corded by the constitution in order to preserve sectional supremacy, but to the man who has had practical eXper- fence in modern politics, the above ex- plantation seems to be the best one yet given to Alaska's distress.-Sitka Cablegram.
 In the earlier history of mining on Douglas Island, the mill of the Alaska Treadwell mine was comparatively small, and when the proposition to in- crease the number of stamps was made, the matter was seriously considered for same time before it was finally de- termined to take the risk which such investment involved. Itwas argued by those in favor of larger mill, that the greatly increased capacity would re- suit in lowering the cost of milling, as it had already been determined that thore was abundance of ore available, and it was finally determined to enlarge the mill to 240 stamps. The venture at once proved success, and the profit per ton ore crushed was increased sev- eral times.
