WARNED AGAINST IDLE LIFE
EngIlshman Couples Words Of Wis
dom with His Disposition Of
Large Estate.

A striking appeal to rich young men
not to allow their wealth to tempt
them into habits of loafing and idle.
ness is made by the late Lieut.. Col
Edward Tufnell in his will, disposing
of an estate valued at e343,624 gross
and net personality G103.199.

Eaton square, at the Grove, Wimble-
don park and Crowhurst park, Sussex,
sex from 1900 to 1906, and was for
merly a member of the kings body
guard
The appeal against leafiHg Is made
in the following remarkable clause in
his will:
j desire to bring home to the minds
OF my sons, and of each and every
young man who may hereafter take
benefit in my property under this my
will, how strongly ] hold to the view
that every man should, during some
substantial portion Of his life, have
some definite occupation, and lead a
usefui life, and should not suffer
WEALTH vi duy dCCeSSlOQ Oh wealth. Ut
other temptation to tempt him into
idleness, and a mere loaang and USE
less existence
Il might have SO framed this my
will as to have made idleness operate
to forfeit the interests hereby con-
ferred on my sons or other young men
In my property, but | foresee that
such a provision might, in certain
cases. work hardships, and prefer to
hope and to trust, as ] do, that no
son of mine and no other young man
who may under this my will succeed
to the enjoyment of any property of
mine, will SO disregard my views here
In expressed as to lead the life / so
strongly deprecate."
Col Tufnell himself always led a
strenuous life. He saw active SER
vice in the Nile expedition of 1SS4-5,
when serving in the Eighteenth Royal

Medical Advertising In Japan.

In future no licensed medical prac-
toner will be permitted to advertise
in japan details of methods of medical
treatment or the history or success of
such methods. Doctors and dentists
connected with hospitals or engaging
in general practice will not be allowed
to advertise any information beyond
that indicating their degrees and spe-
cialties. In this respect the ordinance
approximates perhaps more to the
American idea of what is legitimate.
for it is quite common to find in trans
atlantic journals small rectangular
spaces containing the name, address
and telephone number of some prac-
titioner with an indication of the
branch or branches of work In which
he claims to be especially adept and
instructed.

Human Life for 1910

Otf-er magazines cover the field of
fiction, history, science, etc. and do it
well but the exclusive field of human
life-with its wealth of material strang-
er, more fascinating than any Fiction
ever penned,-is covered by but one
publication and this is Human Life
Its pages are an epltome Of the vital
history Of this marvellous twentieth
century.
Naturally, with such field, no def
mite program for 1910 can be pre-ar-
ranged. AT the threshold of the year
who can tell what great events are in
the making on the loom Of time-what
vast discoveries, what revolutionizing
inventions, what colossal undertakings?
For the immediate present Alfred Hen
~ Lewis will continue his enlighten-
Ing series on President Taft and the in
side history of men and affairs at the
nations capitol. Vance Tompson will
be TO the fore with an illuminating
article on Jaures the Red Orator, his
residence in Paris giving him peculiar
facilities for getting at the inside facts
in the matter. Charles Edward Russell
will have an absorbing story on the
Mystery of Dreyfus, while the regular
departments of celebrities of All
Sorts, /" ACTRESSES of Today" "Modern
Mortals," ETC., will continue to be crisp
up-to-date entertaining as ever.
