Amazing Appetites.

The appetite of whale Is wonder
ful. His chief diet consists of jelly.
fish. He has simply to open his
mouth and paddle along ;e'surely In
or1er to take In jellyfish by the cart
loud. Such is the method adopted by
'he wha:ebone whale. The sperm
whale, on the contrary, captures huge
SHOALS OF fish, weighing often several
tons. Like his brother. the whalebone
whale he must be constantly on the
lookout for food. Otherwise he would
starve. AS many as ii seals have been
taken from a 30feet killer" Other
fishes OF enormous appetites are not
uncommon. The bluefish, for example
thrives on sardines and other small
fish. Most curious of all eaters is the
hydra, strange creature that can be
turned inside out without imparing
Its appetite or its power to eat.

Nv estimate of Is years as the

Is a minimum estimate.
"Old age" has been assumed as
unpreventable. Yet Metchnikoff
maintains, with reason, that old
age is malady that can be post

In Portland Ore. Mrs. Mary l..

cal revolution. The change Is based
on the conviction that an ounce of
prevention is worth pound of
cure. The people themselves are
learning to ask the family physi-
clan to keep them well rather than
to cure them after they are sick.
We must conclude that the

on certain definite conditions and

ance, however, is measured by the
IslOwness with which strength de-
creases through exertion.

Tie waste of energy and life
froIa undue fatigue is probably
muJS greater than the waste from
serh1us illness.
Prevention Is the first step In in
creasing the breadth of life.
Ideal conditions for health and
long life comprise pure and dis
ease-free atmosphere; pure food
and a pure water supply; protec-
ton from accident and proper
adjustment of work, rest and
amusement. Human being are an
easy to cultivate as other animals
and plants.
People who have lived to be over
| 100 have usually been persistent
| followers of some rules of rational
hygiene-personal health - even
even though they took care of them
selves unconsciOusly.
Recent examples of men who
have heightened their lives may be
mentioned; a young doctor who
| was given up to die five years ago,
but who today can run 25 miles
| without rest; and DR.. Horace
Fletcher, who, at 46 was rejected
| for life insurance, but who later
got his insurance and celebrated
his fiftieth birthday by cycling 1870

The air man breathes should
first of all be pure-free from in
juries microbes, dust, smoke and
| gases.
The ideal conditions of health re-
quire perfect balance of work. play
and sleep. The growing practice Of
sleeping out of doors Ia one of the
most significant signs Of the times.
The windows of working and living
rooms ought to be opened in sum-

vided a window board is used to
drive the cold air upward from the
sill
Air baths are as important for
bodily health as water baths. Tight
shoes and tight corsets ought never
to be worn.

Here Is an entirely new wrin-
kle in the drama of labor before
the court After years of bitter
rivalry between two organizations
of painters in New York city
one faction belonging to the in
ternational union and the other a
purely local organizatiOn-a ref
erendum vote of both bodies re-
suited in favor of amalgamatiOn
under the jurisdiction of the in
ternational union Thereupon
few disgruntled members secured
an injunction preventing the mer-
ger. Upon final hearing the in
junction was made permanent
Now the hands of the majority are
tied, and the factional fight must
continue. 1t isn't likely that a
trust merger would be prevented
just because minority of stock
