WARDING OFF OLD AGE.

A goodly heritage of health is of
high Importance to longevity but OBJ
viously it cannot enter into the pos
sible prescriptions of the physicians.
The lucky inheritor of sound organs
has little need of doctors and is able
to enjoy himself and eat whatever
he will, in some measure in de-
fiance of all the rules laid down for
the benefit of less fortunate NOR
tails. But for all those who are
anxious to live to a good old age and
be reasonably healthy and happy,
the New York Medical Journal gives
few rules; which, although some
what technical in some lines, are
of considerable value and interest
to the general reader:
''In order to ward off old age we
should pay particular attention to
the healthy work of the glandular
system. 1t is wise, therefore, to cut
down the supply of red meat, once a
day being often enough to indulge in
that food, and to replace it with
white meats, especially fish. Eggs
milk, cheese and vegetables form the
best diet.
"a caution is given at this point,
to the effect that a man accustomed
to large quantities of red meat may

miss it to such an extent as to
bring about severe mental depres-
sion, itself a powerful cause of pre-
mature old age. Such a person may
indulge in a moderate amount of
red meat if he will only take care to
avoid the rich portions.
For the young, on the other
hand, such foods are excellent, as
they provide the very important
phosphorus, and are much superior
to the vegetables supplying albu-
min, such as spinach and peas. AL
coholic drinks undoubtedly are pre-
judicial to continued youthfulness,
but a mild claret, in moderation, is
useful to the middle-aged The i'm
moderate use of tobacco is also a
cause of degeneration of heart and
arteries.
For many reasons marriage is
counseled to those who would live
long. To help the skin and kidneys,
baths, especially vapor baths, are ex-
cellent. Wool is advised for under
wear in winter, loose mesh cotton
for summer. Black bread should
replace the fine white bread at the
well-to-do, the latter being rather a
form of pastry than real bread.
Regular and sufficiently prolonged
sleep is a precious aid to longevity.

UNNATURAL DROWSINESS.

Don't yawn. Next time you feel
sleepy open the window. Go into a
warm room after brisk walk in the
autumn wind. You feel sleepy.
Usually you blame it on the air. You
are right. 1t is the air-but the in
side air, not the outside air that is
to blame.
Outside air is fresh, and has
plenty of oxygen. 1t makes the
heart beat rapidly. The blood rushes
through your arteries. You feel
wide awake. Inside the windows
are closed. Perhaps the fire is burn
ing. This and other people in the
room use up the oxygen. You have
to breathe stale air. Soon the heart
is beating slowly. You become
drowsy, sleepy, yawny. You feel the
beginning of a headache. Then
throw open the window and see how
soon the fresh air will wake you.
Draughts won't hurt you unless
you are overheated or rundown.
To have the air blowing about you
meants that 1t is fresh. Pneumonia,
consumption and colds breed in un-
ventilated rooms. So throw open
your windows just as often as pos
sible If you want to keep we'll and be
wide awake.

sent candy into the State under a
guarantee that it complied with the
laws were last week forced to with
draw their goods from sale, chem

Commissioner James Foust having
demonstrated that the candy was
adulterated.
Over 200 samples of candies were
taken in various parts of the State
this Fall and the chemical tests
showed five in all were not up to the
standards required. In one case a
Pennsylvania manufacturer was
sued and fined, his wares being TAX

ter, but in the other four instances,
all of which occurred in Allegheny
county it was found that merchants
were selling goods under a guaran-

merchants were not arrested, but
were required to ship all the candy
back to the factory. When the MAX
ers got wind of the conditions they
withdrew the stuff.

MIR. GREENE WON.

Homer Greene, the author of the
famous poem, What My Lover Said, ="
and other equally charming bits of
verse, as we'll as a half dozen or
more volumes of popular fiction,
lives in Honesdale, Pa. Besides be-
ing a writer of note he is one of the
leading lawyers of his section of the
state, and, like most aggressive law
yers, is not slow at repartee. He was
recently arguing an important case
before the Supreme Court of his state
at Philadelphia. 1t was a case in
which judgment non obstante vere-
dicto had been refused in the court
below, and his opponent was press
ing for a like judgment in the higher
court. In his printed argument in
the paper-book Mr.. Greene had made
use of the expression: The raison
d. etra of this entire case" etc. His
adversary, a well-known and brilliant
Scranton lawyer, desiring to poke a
little fun at Mr.. Greene, called the
attention of the Court, somewhat sar-
castically, to the fact that his learn
ed friend from Honesdale had seen
fit to incorporate in his paper-book
argument French phrase, as If the

WHAT EDISON SAW.

Mr.. Edison returns delighted to be
home again and with the conviction
that no foreign land can compare
with America. He found several
things in Europe better than the cor
responding things in this country and
is frank to tell us of them. ..
First among the matters of his
commentator are the highways of
France. 81 travelled over more than
1000 miles of French roads," said
he, and less than three miles were
bad. There was not rut more than
two inches deep" 1t is doubtful if
he can find three consecutive miles
of good road in this country of a
mile in this city that has not more
than one rut in it two inches deep.
But Germany made the deepest i'm
preston on his mind and excited his
warmest admiration. 1t is the land
where organized enterprise has been
carried to it's highest excellence.
The whole empire" said he, sis be-
ing electrified" He cites the case of
one of his former Newark boys"
who has now in Germany charge of
$4,000 men. Germany" he said,
has million factories and is build
ing more. When a German sells
500 worth of goods they weigh
about thirty pounds. When a
Frenchman sells 500 worth they
weigh 400 pounds. When an Eng
lishmen sells 500 worth they
weigh half ton" That means that
the Germans deal largely in chemi-
cal products and other highly con-
centrated values and sell little raw
material. But it must be taken as a
rhetorical rather than a mathemati-
cal statement.
The one respect in which we have
the industries of Europe outclassed,
says Mr.. Edison, is machinery. He
found the Germans filling their fac
tories with it, but the French neg
ligent and backward. We are
compelled" he said, "to improve
our machinery all the time because
we are all the time changing" The
high cost of labor, compelling con-
stant change, may be in this respect
a national advantage.-New York

AN OBJECT LESSON.

In this time of demand for COM
pulsory Sunday observance, an OBJ
ject lesson may be found in the fact
that there are in this country more
than one hundred thousand Chris
tions who observe the seventh-day
Sabbath, and their number is con-
stantly increasing. They are scatter
ed throughout every state in the
union, and live in the cities, in the
towns, and in the country districts.
The day which they observe as the
Sabbath has become the busiest day
of the week in the commercial world,
and they are surrounded by those
who are pursuing their ordinary
work on that day. When they go to
their places of worship their eyes
necessarily behold what they regard
as a desecration of holy day, and
their ears are saluted with the hum
of secular industry. They would be
glad to have all observe the Sabbath
according to the commandment"
and thus honor the Creator, but they
never have asked, and never will
ask, for legislative. enactment which
would compel those to pay an out
ward regard to this day. They must
be fully convinced by their own
consciences that they ought to keep
it holy. They simply ask to be left
free to observe the day of their
choice without being fined either di-
richly or directly,-without being
compelled to pay fine in money in
to the state treasury or to pay fine
in the way of loss of time by en-
forced idleness upon a day which the
Scriptures designates as a working
day,-and they freely concede to
others the civil right to work on the
seventh day of the week and to rest
on another day if they choose to do
so, or to refuse to observe any day as
the Sabbath.
Now if such body of Christian
observers of the seventh day of the
week can be developed in this coun-
try by the power of conscientious
conviction alone, in the face of all
those circumstances which the ad-
vocates of Sunday observance regard
as so fatal to their cause, is it not
apparent that no Christian institu-
ton needs the support of the civil
power! We commend this object
lesson to the consideration of those
who are claiming that what they de-
signate as "the Christian Sabbath"
will perish from the earth unless
they can secure the passage of laws
to protect and preserve it. N

English language in which the great
common law had been written was
not good enough to use in connection
with so weak case, etc., etc. The
Scranton humorist evidently forgot
that Mr.. Greene had the closing ar
gument. But such was the fact, and
before that argument was concluded
the Honesdale lawyer and poet got
back at his adversary in the follow
ing fashion:
"My learned friend has seen fit to
criticise me for using French
phrase in my paper-book argument.
He has evidently forgotten that he
fought vigorously in the court be-
low, and has fought just as vigorous
ly in this court for what? for judg
ment non obstante veredicto. Now
weapons with which to fight his case
l certainly may be permitted to go
to a very live one." The learned
judges of the Court smiled broadly,
the company of listening lawyers
laughed audibly and the talented
lawyer from Scranton began to re-
gret his humorous sally. But Mr..
Greene was not yet done. Having
plunged his weapon into his adver-
sary's bit of sarcastic humor he pro-
ceeded to turn it in this wise:
Moreover, having searched the
English language carefully for a
phrase which would fittingly describe
the conduct of my learned friends
client in this case, and having failed
to find one-at least one that
would dare to repeat in the presence
of this Honorable Court was of
necessity, driven to the use of Ian
guage which is both rich and re-
spectacle in its terms of reproach."
A shout of laughter went up from
the listening lawyers, the solemn
and black-robed judges on the bench
chuckled gleefully, and one of them,
Mr.. Justice Elkin, than whom no
one in Pennsylvania better appreci-
ates joke, said: " L suppose you
thought it necessary, Mr.. Greene, to
use phrase that the Irishman on
the bench could readily understand. I"
Mr.. Green eventually won his case.
