RULES FOR LONG LIFE
HUNGARIAN DOCTOR TELLS HOW
TO RETAIN HEALTH.
Happy Marriage Helps One TO Rests;
Old Age-cardinaI Precepts OF
Clothing, Diet and Hygiene
Given Here.

In his book, lately published in the
Hungarian language and translated
into almost every modern tongue, Dr.
Lorand says that from recent reports
of the register offices of Austria, Ger
many, we are justified in assuming
that though life is usually limited to
55 to so years it may occasionally be
prolonged to 100, or even more, by the
operation Of certain internal and ex>
teTnaI agencies.
BY studying these we may eventu>
ally be able to prolong the lives of
many individuals beyond so or even
90, and to prolong our term Of youth,
fulness by 10 or 20 years. We need
no longer grow old at 40 or SO. This
can be brought about by improving
the functions of a certain few of the
glandular structures of the body, pro-
vided one or more of the main organs
have not already been too gravely
compromised by incurable organic
disorders.
To prevent old age coming on too
soon the first condition necessary is
the possession of healthy duetless
glands (chief among them being the
thyroid, the adrenals, the pancreas and
the liVer), and this depends upon her
edity.
Marriage is an invaluable aid in the
struggle against old age If married
life is one of the best means of resist
Ing the approach of old age on the
other hand 1t Is positively certain that
unhappy marriages are the surest
means of fastening it's oncoming.
To avoid premature old age and ear
~ death we have to follow the rules:
Wear loose collars, because a tight
| collar presents obstacles to the free
| circulation of the blood through the
thyroid.
Do not take too much meat, because
abundance Of meat alters the ductless
glands.
Take large quantities of milk, this
being the extract of various glands.
and especially that of the thyroid.
Be as much as possible in the open
air, and especially in the sunshine;
and take plenty of exercise, taking
care to breathe deeply and regularly
Take bath daily, and, in addition,
once a week or every two weeks, take
a Turkish or vapor bath.
Wear porous clothing. light hat and
| low shoes.
Go early TO bed and rise early.
Sleep in very dark, very quiet
room and with window open, and do
not sleep less than six nor more than
/ ia hours.
Have one complete days rest In
each week, without even reading or
writing
Avoid mental disturbances or wor
ries.
Be temperate in the use Of alcohoi
and also In the use Of coffee or tea.
Avoid places that are overheated,
especially by steam, and badly venti-
| lated.
Replace or reinforce the functions
of the organs which may have become
changed by age or disease, by means
of the extracts from the correspond
ing organs of healthy animals. But
OF course the application Of this pre-
cept must be adapted to the individual
case.--The British Medical Journal.

In all tho mass of writing orr the
subject of consumption which has been
put out in connection with the anti
tuberculosis campaigns there is nothing
more concise or which puts in better
form the duty imposed on the consump-
tive or on the owner of tuberculous
cattle in guarding against the spread
Of the disease than the following quo
tations from the bulletin Of the Chi
cago Health department.
Last week we advised those with
colds that were hanging on to get
diagnosis now, while +deir consumption
Is durable, rather than next summer,
when it will be eternally too late.
But why de people get consumption9
Here are several reasons:
/. They breathe or eat the germs.
2, They live in foul, dirty air.
2. They work or live in bad houses.
4. They are in right condition to
catch tbs disease and to have it spread
in thei1 bodies.
Today we are writing about the
breathing cs eating of germs.
Consumption is spread by the con-
sumptive gsrrn. People who have con-
sumption are the most important
spreaders. Cows which have consump-
ton are also important spreaders. Con-
sumptives spread more consumption
than cows do. A careful consumptive
does not spread the disease; a careless
consumptive win kill many people;
splitting, sneezing, coughing are the
most important ways of spreading the
disease.
A consumptive who spits in papers
which are then burned, who holds his
handkerchief before his mouth when he
sneezes or coughs, who keeps his mouth
clean, who keeps out of jams of people
in cars and houses, who lives in plenty
of fresh AFFAIR blowing over and
around him-who keeps to the sunlight,
is q safe consumptive and should be
encouraged in every way. This is not
much to ask consumptive to do.
And the man who has a consumptive
COW should either kill her and destroy
the carcass if she be bad; or, if she is
not bad, kill her and use her for beef
(for cooked meat is pretty safe), or use
her for breeding purposes, or use her
for producing milk which is to be pro-
perly pasteurized- not to be other
wise sold
This is not much for the consumer to
ask of the producer. And consumer
who takes any less is not a good citi-
zen or good father. A producer who
will not grant this is not a good mer-
chant or a good citizen. He is not do
ing as he would be done by"

UNIFORM BOOKKEEPING.

Disclosures following the forced
liquidation of the Quanah Nationa
Bank, of Quanah, Tex, ten days ago
caused the comptroller OF the currency
on Thursday to issue an order directing
every one OF the 200 national banks
in the United States to install what
virtually amounts to uniform system
OF bookkeeping.
Investigation of the Quanah bank
disclosed that it had been doing bust
ness for the last two years, although
undoubtedly insolvent, but that during
that time the examiners we're unable
to learn the banks true condition
largely because the management re-
fused to keep a proper record of its
business transactions, and that the
entire capital OF $4,000 and probably
some OF the SSS,000 surplus, was
paid out to stockholders as divi'
dends.
In a statement issued Thursday
Comptroller Murray comedies that his
examiners were hoodwinked for two
years by the way the bank handled its
notes.
Reports to headquarters show that
an examiner finally did become sus-
picious shortly before the banks clos
ing and Insisted that new set OF books
be installed. This the official did
under protest, the report says. but they
abandoned the new system to return to
the old one two days later. after the cX-
aminer had left town.
Returning to Quanah unexpectedly,
the examiner found the change and re-
ported st by telegraph to Washington.

TRAiS-RoBBER LEAVES PRISON.


Charles Morganfeld, convicted OF the
most daring train robbery that ever
occurred in Virginia, was liberated
from the State penitentiary on Satur.
day, after having served his full term
OF eighteen years. Though little
more than fifty years OF age, he looks
much older, and is but shadow Of the
man who went behind the bars nearly
twenty years ago. He has not lost his
spirit, however, and during the term OF
his incarceration was one of the most
closely watched men in the prison.
Charles J. Scarcely, who was his
partner in the holdup, gave the in
formation that led to his capture and
conviction, SO he got only ten years.
1t is said that up to this day Morgan
field harbors the greatest animosity to-
ward him. Since Searcy was liberated
eight years ago nothing has been heard
in this part of the country from him,
and it has been reported that he is
dead.
The robbery, which took place be-
tween Fredericksburg and Quantico,
on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad. was conducted in a
style characteristic OF the James
Brothers. The two men boarded the
train at Fredericksburg. One of them
went through the cars and made his
way to the locomotive. where he placed
Morganfeld and Searcy, it is thought,
had horses waiting for them at the
point where the engine was stopped,
and after dividing the proceeds of their
haul, escaped. Searcy got as far as
Front Royal, where he was captured on
description furnished by persons whc
had seen him the night before the
robbery in Fredericksburg. He ad.
mitted his guilt and told Of the part
that Morganfeld took, saying that he
was the leading spirit. He also as
sured his captors that there were only
two men in the hold-up. Descriptions
OF Morganfield we're sent to all part:

nered by detectives in Cincinnati,
