EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON

I heard of a new recipe for keeping
young the other day.
NOW don't brace yourself to be
told to take a cold bath every morn
ing, or drink ten eggnogs a day, or
eat only raw food. or practice aesthet-
&c dancing. or join the Don't Worry
Club and be
$50 scared for fear you'll worry
That you'll worry most to death"
This really is distinctiveIy new
one.
It was given by a marveIousIy
young woman of seventy-five sum-
mers- When asked on a recent birth
day how she managed to keep so young
she answered promptly:
Because I have always champfoned
at least one unpopular cause"
1t seems to me there Is a great deal
in that sentence
Enthusiasm for the IDEAL and the
visionary is the heart and hearts
blood of youth
The man who refuses to let go of his
idealtstic enthusiasms cannot grow old
The beauty doctor insists upou
tranquility to keep the face young
For the face that NAV be the right
course to pursue, but your mind and
soul viii be much better kept young
by ceaseless activity in some great
cause that puts you hand in hand with
progressive humanity so that the cleo

progress shall be continually passing
through you
THE youth who daily farther from the
east
Must travel. still Is natures priest,
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended;
At length the man perceives it die
And fade into the light of common
day"
So Wordsworth describes the pass
ing OF youth and thereby SUCCESSES the
best way to keep youth always with
you, which Is to refuse to let the wis
ion Splendid" the passionate reaching
towards an ideal. ever slip away from
you
Beautiful Julia Ward Howe is nine
" years young today, instead OF being
useless and decrepft old woman, be-
cause all her life her heart and soul
has always been alive and aflarne with
enthusiasm for some great cause
For thirty-five or forty years she
worked for abolition, and when fruf-
ton Of her hopes made her work no
longer necessary. she turned her ener-
giles towards another of freedoms
| causes-womaHss suffrage
And I think you might almost say
| it is her interest in that cause that
keeps her alive today. Should WON
ans suffrage be granted all over the
United states. think Julia Ward
Howe would die, simply because her
cause would need her no longer
It is only when men and women get
to the point where they are contfnu-
| ally looking back at the years that are
gone that they are old
Join some great movement that IS
continually marching forward and
keeps you of necessity facing the fu-
ture. and you should never grow old
though you could live

And the leaves of the Judgment book

Areoplanes Ruined byStorm

st. Louis, Mo-, July 25.-Seven
aeroplanes valued lat $751; 600 were
wrecked in a tornado on the Aero
Club of st. Louis aviation field at
Washington Park, ILL.,, tonight.
The planes, including THE Farman
biplane of C. w. Curzon, were hous
ed in a three-pole circus tent.
When the wind came the big poles
snapped and the wreckage fell on
the planes. There is not enough
left of any one OF them to repair,
except the motors, which are be-
lieved to be intact.
The storm came just after How
ard w. Gill and Hillery Beachey
had made flights in the formers

on the field saved, it being housed
in a shed. Besides Curzon's, the
planes OF the following are in the
wreckage, j. N. Sparkling, two;C.

The Value of Eyesight

One of the live questions under
discussion at present in medical
and in legal circles is the econom
ic valuation of vision. This ques-
ton has been brought forcibly to
mind within a few days, not only
by the results of the ordinary run
of ocular accidents, but from the
occurrence of several suicides, the
cause of which was, in each case,
alleged to be the choice of death
to blindness. One of these occur
ed in a workman of Italian des-
cent in Racine, Wis, and two
others in Vienna, Austria, one be-
ing a Hungarian woman and the
other an Austrian Judge; the lat
ter one of the most prominent
members of the high court of
Austria. The three cases being
typical of several classes. On as
count of the great danger of men
tai depression with suicidal ten
dency, it behooves us to be "guard
ed" in our opinions given directly
to patients as to prospects Of
total blindness.
The United States Bureau[ of
Pensions allows full disability for
the loss OF both eyes. Most OF
the accident insurance companies
allow full annuities or the full
amount of death limit of the pol

The Gentle Cow

The dairy COW, il able to ex-
press herself in a way which the
human family would comprehend,
might well lay claim to being mans
best friend. She might establish
such a claim by calling attention
to the fact that from her product
and from her man manu-
features more of the necessities of
life than from any other similar
source. She furnishes these e
stiles to him from infancy until
such a time as temporal things
r no longer associated with his
existence and she does it I'M
grudgingly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
mans necessity and his pleasure,
the prosperity of an agricultural
community is more closely identi-
fled with her than with any other
of the domestic animals. The
horse is quite essential in tilling
the soil, but where necessity re-
quires it the sturdy son of the COW
can take his place as he has
done in every agricultural section
on earth. The horse a only
return a profit to his owner when
conditions are right for returning
satisfactory grain crops. 1t is a
well known fact that the dairy COW
is the salvation of the farmer in
times of poor crops as she is able
to convert the rough crops which
r W a total failure, into
dairy products which have a cash
value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertii
ity for the soil, without which a
farm becomes less valuable each
year and the whole country less
prosperous.
The elimination OF the dairy
COW would necessitate an almost
revolutionary readjustment of
mans tastes and requirements. 1t
would mean untold suffering and
hardship. or course she will not
be dispensed with but her value
can perhaps best be appreciated BIZ
contemplating such a loss.
She will continue to be mans
best friend as long as the human
family exists and will keep on sup
plying him with his greatest needs
just as she has done through all
the ages.
