eLEAzoR FISHER.

Eleazor Fisher. of Sandwich ILL.,, rolls
blithely out from under his snug COW
erlet each morning promptly as the
alarm clock goes off at 5oclock, and
is out before breakfast to do the
chores. He feeds the horses, milks a
couple of COWS. and sees that the pigs
have their morning allowance Of corn.
Then Eleazor goes into the kitchen,
washes his hands and face in the wash
pan, dries them on the crash towel be-
his morning meal to fortfy himself
against the days work on the farm.
All this in itself may not appear very
remarkable, inasmuch as il is the daily
routine of countless other men who
till the soil, But Eleazor has a dis
tinc.ion that marks him from other
self for he is just 100 years old. You
would suppose. % course, that Eleazo-
had earned the privilege OF retirement
and would turn his farm over 70 his
sons or rent il out to some one so be-
could move TO the city and take JOY
rides in his automobile or sit in COM

sunshine Of his prosperity an denjoyed
his we'll earned repose AT the close OF
life Of honest toll. Tha,'s the way
they say il in the story books. only We
had TO introduce the automobile 10 be
modern and up-to-date.
Most men have reached the age OF
retirem ent long before they have count
ed their birthdays within a quarter Of
a century of the number Eleazor has
seen. But that is because they are not
in his class. Eleazor did not spend mis-
time over almauacs hunting up some
ailment he was sure he possessed and
then filing his system With patent
medicine poison 10 hasten the time
when his insurance policy would be-
come payable TO his heirs. He went
right on working and is still at il. sans
hair, maybe. and likely sans teeth. but
also sans worry. sans discomfort and
sans fear of death.
There is a certain fascination in OBJ
serving men Of this type. a IA scination
akin 20 awe. What secret Of youth
have they possessed that human tissue
can Withstand the ravages Of time so
long beyond the usual allotment Of
years and still be capable Of exertion?

He simply kept al II without stopping

Wheeling, w. Va, Gets Pure Milk.

Two years ago young man was
made city health officer in Wheeling.
w Va He was impressed with the
horrible figures in the field OF infant
mortality He felt sure from his in
depreciation of the law that he had
the power to stop much OF the yearly
loss of life. To accomplish this he
aimed first at procuring a pure milk
supply for the city. He had the power
to examine samples of milk sold in the
city. but the examination was useless
IL the results were merely kept in his
record books. so he decided in the face
of the most vigorous protest to sub
nit them to those who kept him in
office for the purpose Of safeguarding
their health-the public. He published
the results Of his examinations in the
daily press monthly. under the heads
Of preservatives. bacterial content fat
and dirt, Today he has an almost uni
forrnly good milk supply for Wheeling,
so- the public soor forsook the dirty
rnilkmen and bought from the clean.
To put this type Of man in Office is to
90 q long way toward the solution OF
public health questions. The public
wants protection and is willing to abet
the protector.-The Survey.

THE PRIDE THAT TELLS.
rCl,nton Herald1.


Among the farmers living in the
Nodaway river valley in southwestern
Iowa in the vicinity of villisca, there
exists a pride that is accomplishing
things: a pride. that is going TO extend
TO every section Of the state in the
course OF few years. The part;cula,
pride with which these farmers are
imbued has resulted in securing to
them the best possible dirt roads OBJ
tainable. One particular piece OF road
way. several miles in length, Is almost
perfectly level, graded up in the center,
with splendid drainage. The top OF the
grade is as solid and smooth as q pave
ment. and there il never a day when 1t
is not in good condition.
This has been accomplished very
easily No grading or filing is permit
ted on these roads except in the early
summer. all such work being stopped
with the f1rst Of June. This gives the
new pieces Of grading or filing plenty
Of time to settle Thoroughly before the
coming Of the fall rains. In addition to
this the roads are carefully and thor
oughly dragged after every rain
No increase in the tax levy has been
necessary. 1t has all been accomplish
ed thru the application OF scientific
methods and in the application Of the
old proverb. that "a stitch in time
saves nine" What has been done by
these Nodaway river valley farmers
can be done by the farmers In every
community in the state.

HOW GOOD WAS CUT,

Good was cut in Marshall county
because some Of the radicals thought
that he should have voted against the
tariff and the postal savings bank bill,
simply because Senator Cum Minis voted
against them."-Cedar Rapids Republi-
can.
Goods vote in Marshall county was
larger than the republican vote for
Lieutenant Governor Clark against
whom there was no factional fight. His
plurality was 1,011 which was within a
few votes Of the highest plurality given
any. republican on the state ticket and
much larger than the lieutenant COVER
nors plurality Of 754. The Republican
should now explain why it was that
Goods plurality in his home county
with twice the total vote cast was less
than his plurality in Marshall county
and the Republican should venture an
honest explanation Of it, too.

just, with regard to the after school ca

ton at the hands Of Superintendent
Friedman of the government school for
Indians at Carlisle, Pa. The report

claimed, once removed from the in

soon relapses into the ways OF his peo-

them. It has frequently been asserted.
with an air of positivenees that SEEM

the Carlisle Indians once more with
their tribes fell into the barbarous hab-
it's and customs OF their ancestors, not
gradually but speedily.

himself with q statement of hard. cold
