BRAIN THE SOURCE OF YOUTH.
Maintain Its Activity and Preserve
Snpleness of the Body.

Vital as is the physical side of con-
serving youth, however its true Ioun-
tain is in our brain. If we maintain
activity of its cells it quickens the
circulation of the blood, the vital
organs, gives light to the eyes, pre-
serves the suppleness of the body, re-
moves to distance illness, age, death
itself.
Remember the lesson of the bicycle;
how the laboring man and the busy
housekeeper, ready to drop from the
days work, would go for a spin and
return, after an hours exercise OF
those same weary leg muscles, rested
Body ache is often nothing but brain
rust.
"He looks much older than he is,
said VonMoltke of fellow-officer;
che has used his body more than his
mind" Age was to the French wo-
man of the salons no excuse for dull
ness. To the very last one must be
pointed, animated, alert. Because an
age has come when ordinarily the
crust of custom begins to incase our
free spirits is exactly the reason for
keeping them elastic.
One of the most remarkable things
in the career of Dr. Richard Stors
was that by far the greatest portion
Of that career was after he had passed
the age of fifty. The Duke of MARI
borough began his career as a great
commander in 1902, when he was fifty
two years old. Lord Lyndhurst on
the eve of his eigh,y-ninth birthday
made brilliant speech in Parliament.
Sophocles wrote his masterpiece at
eighty. Goethe finished Faust in
his eighty-second year. .Alf1eri began
Greek at forty-seven, and at fifty-four
mastered it. Mrs. PioZzi preserved
her fine faculties, imagination, and I'M
exampled vivacity to the end On her
eightieth birthday she gave a,sgreat
ball. concert, and supper in the public
rooms at Bath to over 200 persons and
opened the ball herself.
Old Lady Grey painted beautifully,
though she only began to be an artist
when she was quite an old woman.
She always, went out sketching with
thirty-nine articles, which one SER
want called over at the door, another
murmuring Here" for each article,

left behind-Scribner's Magazine.

.If Beef Continues to Rise.o

cit wouldn't be the worst evil that
ever befell nation if beef continues
to rise till it got to SO or 60 cents a
pound, price, that would make its
purchase, almost prohibitive," said
DR.. H. f. Hynes, of ST. Louis, at the
Rennert.
This extreme cost would of course,
be only temporary, but while it last
ed people would find out that they
could live happily and keep in first
rate health without ever seeing bow
inc roast or steak on their tables.
The hot season. is the best possible
time to do without any kind of red
meats. Fish, eggs and fruits and
vegetables are plentiful and not ex-
pensive, and one may eat them to the
entire exclusion of beef and pork and
keep in the finest physical trim. @
I'm the Old World countries the
mass of the people think themselves
in luck if they have meat in their
homes once a week, have seen
magnificent specimens of manhood
in Ireland in communities where they
hardly know how meat looked. The
little Japs can stand any amount OF
hard toll and their diet is altogether
of rice and dried fish. If the con-
sumption of beef were to fall on so
per cent throughout the United States
for the next so days nobody would, get
hurt unless it were the combine that
unduly boosts prices and for its
losses there would be no public COM
passion"

SMILE BRINGS HER $4,000.
Kindly Cheer of Music Teacher to Old
Couple Rewarded in Will

Chicago, June 9-Just because her
bright smile remained in the memory
of Giles Gilbert, the Duluth million
aire, for two long years and was with
him at his death bed, Edith Bane, a
teacher of the piano at the Sherwood
Music School, is $4,000 richer today
than she had ever expected to be, and
several hundred friends of the young
Chicago woman are discussing the
marvellous magnetism of her smile
When Mr.. and Mrs. Giles Gilbert
were at the Windermere Hotel in
1906, a lonely old couple, Miss Bane's
sympathetic heart warmed to the sad
faced old lady,, who appeared so
lonely in Chicago, despite her wealth.
So the music teacher smiled on her,
read to her and sacrificed some of her
happy young life. to make the Older
woman happy. = r'S

Southern part OF the United States,

is something about it which attracts

DR.. G.. L. Swiggett.

The Union City Training School
under the superintendency.of Prof
G. M. Mathis, secured Dr.. G. L
Swlggett to make the annual ad
dress to his graduating class at thu

| Dir. Swiggett has for sometime
been professor Of modern languages

University of the South. DR.. Swig
gett took as his theme the great
German author and philosopher
Goethe. AS Goethe was a man Of
such diversified attainments the
Doctor addressed his remarks main
ly to the practical side of Goethe's
life. Goethe stands to the German
people what Shakespeare does to
the English, as the greatest man
that wonderful people has produc-
ed. AS he is so we'll known to all
students of literature for his won
derful culture DR.. Swiggett discuss
ed the phase of his nature that is
ordinarily less considered, spoke of
his wonderful capacity for organiza-
ton and the fact that to him was
delegated the authority to formu-
late the plan of governing the town
that he lived in and the wonderful
business capacity of the man. He
applied the lesson that Goethe had
taught to the young gentlemen of
the graduating class by saying to
them that the problem of human
life was happiness, and that in or
der to attain this just and correct
of the moral, intellec-
tual and physical nature of man
should be considered. He exhorted
them to take an active Fart in ath-
letics, and especially commended
the young gentlemen who had won
distinction on the athletic field at
the Union City Training School,
saying that no man could be we'll

teacher has taught him that not on

WRIGHT FoR rAFT's PLACE.

There are two views to be taket
Of the prospective appointment o
General Luke e. Wright as Secre
| tary Of W ar to succeed Mr.. Taft
In the first place, we can endorse
the the aaffffein as 9 recognition O.
personal ability and fitness and re-
/ ioice to see a Southern man SO dis
tinguished in the national cabinet
Though a traditional Democrat
Gen. Wright is supporting Taft ir
this campaign and therefore we
cannot see that the Democratic
party has any part in the honor
thus bestowed upon this distin-
guished Tennessean, save, perhaps,
as the object of shrewd political
play.
AS this brings US to the second
point the political aspect of the
Wright appointment, which must
of necessity be suggested by such
a move at this stage of the game.
Without any intimation of a dis
honorable trade, it may be taken
as matter of course that whatev-
er political influence Gen. Wright
may possess will not be used
against the candidate of the admin
istration which has so honored him
and that the chances of Tennes-
sees going Republican will not be
regarded as less hopeful because
of this appointment of Tennes-
sean to fill the empty chair Of
Secretary Taft. Such considera-
tions, we may be sure, did not fail
to occur to the President and Mr..
Taft, and they need not be ignored
by the public.
AS for the Democratic detection
which may be expected from the
Wright appointment, we are not
inclined to regard it as q serious
to the solid South vote for
the Democratic ticket. The sober
common-sense view will be that if
the right man for the War Secre-
taryship chances to be Tennes-
sean-and we believe that this is
The case-the fact that he was the
