Recipe of Octosenarian Who Expects
to Live to be 104.

Recipe of Octosenarian Who Expects
to Live to be 1914.
Francis Brandeweide of Alton, Mo-,
the oldest officeholder in st. Louis and
now eighty-three years old, believes he
has solved the problem~of how to live
to be 104. He would laugh himself
there. Here is the recipe of this oc-
togenarian and the rule he practices:
Laugh all you can, get hold Of all
the funny stories you can and think
Of them, chew tobacco, drink little
beer each day and always get up from
the table hungry.
One year ago, while clerk of the
city court, he became i'll, and his fami-
ly despaired of his getting well. Bran
deweide asked the physician to call
his friends in and tell any good stories
they might know. He also dema nded
that they allow him to have his plug
of tobacco close at hand and that he
be allowed to drink bottle of beer
now and then. In spite Of the protests
of the physicians, the order was fol-
lowed. and Brandeweide began to
mend

0lSERY IN STOTACH
And Indigestion Nauishes in Five
rlinutes and You Feel Fine.

Why not start now-today, and for
ever rid yourself of Stomach trouble
and Indigestion? A dieted stomach
gets the blues and grumbles. Give it
a good eat, then take Pape's Diapep-
sin to start the digestive juices work
ing. There will be no dyspepsia or
belching of gas or eructations of un-
digested food; no feeling like lump
of lead in the stomach or heartburn,
sick headache and dizziness, and your
food will not ferment and poison yonr
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so cents
for a large case at any drug store
here, and will relieve the most obstin-
ate case of Indigestion and Upset
Stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and besides,
one triangule will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all your
food the same as a sound, healthy
stomach would do it.
When Diapepsin works your stom-
ach rests-gets itself in order, cleans
up-and then you feel like eating
when you come to the table, and what
you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all Stomach
Misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to begin taking Dispepsin,
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want
to be thoroughly cured of indigestion.

and Twentieth streets. the Norway
maple from the same locality, the ash
seeds from down between the White
House and the treasury, the honey
locust out near p and Thirtieth streets
in Georgetown, and other seeds in diff
ferent parts of the city. 1t was very
easy, just like recreation. Sometimes
I'd get children to help me, but not
often One or two varieties / couldn't
find here in Washington l picked uI
near Falls Church. They were princi
pally hickory nuts and sugar maple"
"What seeds have you planted Sc
far?"
about 100000 white oak, American
linden, Norway maple, ash and honey
locust. Those / have here are chest
nut, oak, sugar maple, hickory, coffee
bean, black locust, catalpa, yellow
wood, sycamore and yellow poplar AS
l said before, I'll probably plant these
next spring or fall.
"And where do you imagine / plant
ed these seeds? Why, in pear or
chard with 500 pear trees, 200 small
cherry trees and several small patches
of strawberries and blackberries. The
trees stand from twelve to sixteen feet
apart, and in this space is where the
seeds went four separate rows be-
tween each row of trees. That is strict
land economy.
II went out there only recently and
found the acorns sprouting and every
row in the seven and a half acres
showing signs of plant life that is
very encouraging. Judging from the
present indication, l calculate that
from Is to so per cent of the seeds
planted will run to seedlings in the
course of eighteen months, at the end
of which time they'll have to be re-
moved to a larger piece of ground, of
course"
"From a business standpoint how
many seedlings will have to develop
to bring profit?" Mr.. Gaylor was
asked
"At the lowest so per cent" was the
answer. Forty per cent of good sap
lings will mean big profit from a
mercantile standpoint"
Mr.. Gaylor said that negotiations
were entered into for the land-the
pear orchard. as he terms it-last Sep
tember, which is located on the farm
Of r. E. T. Shreeye, and the actual
planting of the seeds began Nov. 10
and lasted for two weeks. They were
planted gradually and with the assist
ance of Mr.. Shreeve, who prepared
the ground for their reception. Dur
ing any extended absence from the
embryo nursery by Mr.. Gaylor, because
of the elements and his age, in the
next several months Mr.. Shreeve will
look after things and see that the
ground. particularly the surface, is
in the best condition at all times.
eff my work over there will only
create interest in others sufficient to
induce them to try the same thing
said Mr.. Gaylor at the conclusion of
his interview, II shall be thoroughly
satisfied and shall feel that / have
done some good for the country at
large"

And get counter smack.
They'll say some ugly things to him,
And he will bawl them out,

The old Potomac will become
A raging sea of foam,
The public servants family
Will beg him to come home,
The shindee will devert the world
By reason of its heat,
And Loeb will let it run awhile,
And then send for the fleet.

Our absent fleet will make Suez
Continuing its bum,

That Roosevelt has come.
There'll be stampede to the South

Will pass the word that he's arrived
With sixteen battleships.
