cept by hazardous climb up the face
of the tower from the waters edge.
The tower stands out in turbulent
stretch of the Mississippi, near where
the Missouri flows into it, and the
waves which dash against 1t on stormy
nights or during a flood have all the
characteristics of ocean breakers. The
tower carries the government river
lights, which must be kept burning
from dark until dawn every night in
the year, and in all respects except
geographical position the intake tower
is as much lighthouse as any that
guard the sea coasts of the world.
Its keeper, James Landers, is like
wise typical lighthouse keeper ex-
cept in two respects. He has no help
er, and he looks landward, loving the
beauties of the shore rather than
those of the water.
There is not room in the little tower
for many persons, and there are not
duties enough to keep one man busy.
Therefore, except during the coldest
weather of the winter when the ice
foes are running heavy and there Is
danger of a pack and a freeze in
front of the tunnel through which st.
Louis gets it's water, one man does
the work Of both the city and the gov
/ ernment at the tower, living alone
and seldom going ashore. His duties
consist Of tending the gates to the
tunnel, opening and shutting them ac-
cording to signals from the pumping
station at Chain of Rocks; seeing that
no river drift or ice packs up against
the grating which covers the mouth
of the tunnel, and keeping the govern
ment lights. Day and night at stated

night he visits the lights, but between
these hours he has nothing to do.

a modern dining car kitchen, and most
of the arrangements he has made him

KEYNOTES SOUNDED AT YOUNGSTOWN

Youngstown, O.-Aside from for.
mally defining issues both nation
al and state, the opening of the
Republican campaign in Ohio here Sat
urday-according to Republican crit
ics-developed an important fact,
namely that Gov Hughes of New York
will be in great demand during the
national campaign. The governor, fol-
lowing a mastery effort by Senator
Beveridge, not only held the attention
of a crowd of thousands who had been
listening to other speeches for hours,
but moved them to vigorous outbursts
of appreciation and was fairly mobbed
when he finished by hundreds who
pressed forward to shake his hand.
His satirical comments on William j.
Bryan's ideas of regulating trusts
called forth shouts of laughter.
Revision of the tariff and continu-

Roosevelt, and, in Ohio, countrywide

and Gov. Hughes delivered speeches
dealing with national issues, while
Gov. Andrew l. Harris, renomianted
by his party. devoted himself to ques-

he is the chief executive. Gov. Har-
ris deviated from the original text
of his address to comment on the an
nouncement of Judge Harmon, the
Democratic gubernatorial nominee,
that he owed no favors to the liquor
interests. The governor ELECTED ap-
plause by declaring that no liquor as
sociation had indorsed his candidacy.
The speaker declared that the issue
was a temperance issue, not one OF
prohibition, He said that although the
Democrats had stated that the issue
did not exist, it was a very live one
with some people. He insisted on
high taxation for the saloons and local
option for the people. That means, he

TO WARD OFF AGE,
Never Allow Yourself to Feel Dread of
Advancing Years.

The way to ward off old age is not
to fear it, not to allow ones self to be
oppressed by the dread of advancing
years.
Use only legitimate preventives and
avoid trying experiments with prepa-
rations not indorsed by physicians.
Do not wear toilets intended for
young girls. They only add years to
the appearance. Keep up your inter-
est in the young, but do not envy
them. Retire with dignity from the
struggle; do not pose as your daugh-
ter's rival. Above all, surround your
life with sweet, true affections, which
prevent the heart from growing bitter.
Do not lose interest in the growing
events of the day; do not fall behind
the times, and do not harp on other
and better days. To those who come
to you for advice be always kind and
sympathetic.
AS you advance in years preserve
carefully your personal appearance,
for once lost it may not be regained
save by strenuous effort $3.50 '~
Last of all, your costume should be
simple and unpretentious, yet grace
full.
These rules, carefully and sensib1y
followed, will keep you young and at
tractive.

In many instances an embroidery

much easier to mend when put over
