Hon. B. L. Butcher returned last

the opening Of Davis and Elkins Col
lege. In the account Of the opening
exercises, the Elkins Inter.Mountain
says the following Of Mr.. Butchers
address. x. 3J55s y
The speaker did not mince his
words, he placed criticism where 1t
was due, and bestowed praise upon
those who deserved it. s.'
In glowing terms he praised those
who had remained faithful in their
patronage and encouragement OF the
college in past years, 5 and with a
scornful inyective he assailed those
Randolph countians who would send
their sons to neighboring institutions
when they had within the, confines
OF their own county an institution
whose high standards are already
though in its infarcy, recognized by
Zig universities of the. east, and which
for general efficiency and high char
acter of school work has no superior

Tie address contained much his

ditions in the Tygart's Valley and o
the interest that even the earliest SET

Mr.. Butcher referred to the Col

Diet and Age.
Chicago Record.eHrald.)

Medical experts, insurance men, ed
ucators and teachers OF the science of
health and happiness generally are
making sort of campaign Just now
In favor of simpler living and return
to nature. The mortality of adult
age-of; the period between 40 and 60
lis increasing, but 1t is not due to the
stress OF modern life, to worry and
overwork, as some have supposed. 1t
is due, we. are assured, to overeating
and bad diets. There is every reason
why we should live longer and be
healthier for: comforts are increasing
and inventions are lessening toll and
anxiety. But our very prosperity has
led to riches and ampler diets and
there is where the mischief lies. a..
These, and in our indoor life. We
shun nature; we shut out light and
air; we walk little and seldom eat OF
rest in the open air, in gardens, fields
on porches. !
This is all wrong, and the wages OF
this wrong are Ill health, depression
gloom. the shortening of the natural
span of life. Habits of outdoor life
should be formed early, at school. AS
much teaching as possible should be
done in the open air-and as much
playing likewise. After graduation
boys and girls should continue to cul
tivate the outdoor life, and families
should continue the practice.

Daily Helps to Health
and Happiness
By-,oEoRaE F. BUTLER. A M. M. D.

When people say that they
are suffering from the "blues,"
the truth Is that half the time
they need to go out and get a
breath Of fresh air. People
who have the "blues" stay In
doors too much, they don't ex-
ercise enough, and they eat
too much. The machinery Is
/. cIogsed and working at low
gauge. The physical condition
Is reflected upon the mind and
Il becomes torpid and sluggish,
and everything takes on a de-
pressed "blue' look. All the
little worries, troubles and per-
plexities are magnified, and the
world seems a dismal, desolate
place indeed, and the poor
"blue" person is enveloped In a
fog Of misery and despair. He
thinks that the whole world Is
topsy.turvy, and all the ele-
ments are combining to make
him wretched, that everything
is Just as mean as he feels.
And yet all the while this
whole world-fulI Of misery Is
conferred right within himself.
Outside the sun is shining, the
birds are singing, the grass Is
growing, and the skies are ra-
dainty blue. What the "blue"
individual needs Is to get out
doors and absorb some Of the
happiness that Is going to
waste. He has been absorbing
all sorts Of lndisestlble foods
and vltiated air until his body
has rebelled.

AUTUMN,

Along the meadows daisied rim,
The verdure droops and dies,
The skies grow dark, the sun grows
dim,
The aster stricken lies.
Sodden and brown, the garden shows +
No flower to charm or cheer,
While every wind that westward blows
Proclaims the autumn here.
The robins to their nests have fled
In Southern dell and dale,
And through the stubble brown is sped
The storm call OF the quail;
The bees to honey cells have come,
The FREELY shrinks in fear,
Death waits SO near, so near for some
When autumn time is here.
Meath skies of June my heart was
