None of these things bring youth.
If anything. they bring age, for they
mean worry and anxiety and care,
Ana who ever saw youth worried or
anxious or careworn? Youth would
not be youth If he endured these
things. for youth ia csrefree or he is

that women are staying young longer

things mankind has searched the
world over for And now scientists

STUDDED WALTER SCOTT.

The library room in the Carnegie Ii

meeting which was held there Monday
evening. Walter Scott was taken MP at
this time and very interesting papers
were presented. Harry Weimer gave
paper of the Life of Walter Scott; Mis-

prose and poetry and Miss Alice NJ.
Lancaster gave reading from this
great author. An excellent piano solo
was rendered by Mrs. B. Y. McNairv
and vocal solo by Miss Myrtle Olson.
A. H. Vernon presided at this meet
ing.
There was some discussion as to the
advisibiilty of making arrangements
for a permanent organization, but it
was decided best for the present at
least to just let some one of those most
interested in the work take charge of
the meetings, he to name the subject
to be taken up and the time of meet.
ing. G. B. kaufman, principal at the
local high, was given charge of the
next literary meeting. He suggested
that current events. politics and science
be studied and taken up as part OF the
literary work, thereby making these
get. to- gether meetings SO much the
more interesting and instructive.
