A Liberal Morality,

Joseph Widener, the young Philadel-
phia millionaire, was entertaining
party of Anglo-Americans at luncheon
at the Ritz in London.
The day was mild and sunny and the
French windows of the beautiful restau-
rant stood open on the Green park and
Picadilly. A limousine glided swiftly
past Devonshire house; a well known
American millionaire sat in the sumptu-
Gus car. and Mr.. Widener, nodding to-
ward the man, said to his neighbour:
80 That is Bonns;, He made $4,000
100000 last year"
as he honesty" the neighbor, an Eng
lishman, inquired.
"Well. John" he replied. "BOnns'
moral code resembles that imputed to
the Brazilians. It-er-is liberal. 1t
countenances many shady things. In
Brazil, you know, in introducing a friend
to your banker, in recommending. him
to business associate and so forth,
you show the highest confidence in him
"a confidence that can go no further
when you say: This is my friend; For
all he steals I will be responsible -

HER RECIPE FOR A LONG LIFE.
Maryland Centenarian Tells How She
Has Remained Active.

Delmar. a town that is about half in
Maryland and half in Delaware, points
with pride, says the Baltimore American,
to q distinguished citizen who was 112
years old on February y last. She is
woman-Mrs. Hester Cordroy-and she
is not only mentally and physically &C
tive. but she is a hustler that outclasses
in he1 energetic activity girls who are
100 years younger than herself.
Mrs. CCrdrOy not only lives III house
all alone and looks after her domestic
affairs. but she actually cultivates two
large kitchen gardens. She grows on
IONS potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes and
other produce for market. She has been
hoeing her own row for 100 years, or
ever since she was a girl of -, and she
is doing it this springtime as usual She
has been married twice and has a large
pOsterity, including ten great grandchll-
dren. but she has declined every pressing
invitation to make her home with any of
her boys or girls
Mrs. Cordroy, as is usual with centen-
arians, has her theory of longevity. She
does not agree entirely with the distin-
guished statesman and diplomat, the
Hon. Writing Fang, in the conclusion
that the way to attain the 1OO-year
mark. is to adhere exclusively to a veg
etarian diet. Here is the message which
she delivers to this Twentieth century
generations of young women: "If the
girls of today would do more work and
think less of the parlor they would be
healthier and live longer" Illustrative
Iy she mentioned that when she was a
girl she used to pillow all day and then
milk seven cows after dark. She has
been so actively on the move during
the past Ill years-even since she could
balance herself in an upright position

spare time to think about growing old.
1t is unnecessary to add that Delmar
and the whole Maryland and Delaware
peninsula is proud of Mrs. CordrOy.

Best Wheat for Bread.

II is we'll recognized fact that the
pr from the hard spring wheats of the
Fhwestern districts will produce a
&c, well piled loaf of bread of excel

pad. These are desirable qualities and
FmaIly explain why this class of flour
] So popular for bread making.

Don't forget the tonic effect of cold
bath on some children. 1t is in many
cases one of the best things for the pre-
vention of summer pining. A cold bath
braces the nerves, blood vessels and
heart. In hot weather such a bath cools
one considerably for the day, and on a
sultry evening, when the thermometer
is standing 20 degrees f. in the shade.
cold bath before bed will often re-
fresh a jaded, peevish child and insure
it a sound nights sleep.

A Milwaukee woman who spends
much time working among her flowers.
says that she has learned how to pre-
vent the nails becoming disfgured with
the soil. Before going to her favorite
garden patch she digs her fingers into a
cake of white soap. The soap. which
lodges under the nails, makes it quite
impossible for any other substance 10
get there. Then when the hands are
washed. the soap disappears and leaves
the nails as clean as they were before
the gardening operations.
Let the sneezing victims of hay fever
wipe their watery eyes and rejoice. DR..
Seth Bishop. who has spent a great deal
of time studying this disease, tells the
American Medical association that the
trouble can be driven away by the sim
pie process of taking one or two tea
spoonfuls of acid phosphate night and
morning. Hay fever, he says, is caused
by an excess of uric acid in the blood:
the acid treatment precipitates this from
the blood and relieves the sufferer. This
he has proved, he declares, in his clini-
cal work. 1t appears that like most 9TH
er things hay fever comes from neuras-
thenia. and in support of his view DR..
Bishop cites the fact that neurasthenia
is found to be associated with the uric
acid diathesis.
