The first step. therefore. in planning

Cazalis said, "A man is as old as his
arteries" True enough. but far from
being a definition Of old age. To de
fine old age We must first define life
Herbert Spencer tried to define life
and succeeded admirably in some re-
spects. but there is nothing in his def.

clock runs down In less than a cen.
tury instead of running for several
centuries.
Preparing For Old Age.
Preparation should begin in youth
One original observer. Charles Sedge-
wick Minot. has advanced the seeming
paradox that we grow old faster in In
fancy than In old age; that cell change
is far slower In the sixth decade of
life than In the first six months Of
babyhood. In a certain physiological
sense this Is true.
The hardened arteries at forty may
be the result Of poor feeding, lack of
physical training. improper breathing
habits and deficient oxygenation dur
ing childhood. Give the child a fair
start In the race. This Is far better
than to devise drugs and potions for
the relief Of the malsdies Of maturity
and old age.

against this view. There is no sound

TIMELY ICE BOX MAxlMS

but In a clean ice box in which no
strong smelling food is kept milk

twelve to twenty-four hours. II vege-
tables or other foods of pronounced
odor are kept In glass jars with covers
or in covered eartheoware receptacles
there will be fewer odors to be CON-
municated.
Portions of canned goods should
never be put into the ice box In the
tin can. Such food does not of neces-
sity develop poisonous product, a.

HARMONY IN FLOWERS
ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT CALLS
FOR CONSIDERABLE SKILL
Lines and coIors Of Stems and BIOS
SONS Form tho Dominant Center
Of Interest In the Flower
Pictures

Any display Of cut flowers IN re-
ceptacle should make a picture IN
which the lines and colors OF the
stems and blossoms form the dom1-
nant center Of interest Success III
the making of such q picture Is very
easy if one will be content with SIM
plicity and naturalness, but 1t becomes
increasingly difficult as one strives al
ter completely and artistic finish.
In all pictures certain harmon1es are
to be desired. In flower pictures, the
chief Of these are the harmon1es OF
line and color. The harmon1es OF
line are determined by the habit OF
growth OF the plants used and the
forms of the leaves and blossoms The
simplest way to secure beauty In this
respect is to conflne the display to one
type Of flower, and see that the lines
Of the stems and blossoms conform to
the lines Of the receptacle. Thus few
large roses on long, straight stems
may be displayed to great advantage
in tall. cylindrical vase, while
smaller roses on shorter, more fra
gile stems are much more effective
when shown in low, broad rose bowls.
Harmony of color in a flower ar
rangement requires simply that the
flowers placed together shall not be
Of discordant tones, and that they
shall combine attractively with the
color of the receptacle. The latter Is.
indeed, of the greatest Importance In
the making of the flower pictures, for,
II not simple in form and modest In
color. 1t will spoil the beauty OF any
flowers with which it is used.
Pottery jars and vases useful as
flower receptacles may be had In an
almost bewildering variety Of sizes,
shapes and colors. and at great
range Of prices.
As regards form, two chief types Of
flower receptacles are needed In any
home where cut flowers are tastefully
arranged-the tan and slender and the
short and broad. The first are neces-
sary to display the graceful lines Of
lilies, irises, gladioli and other slender
long stemmed flowers; the second to
show to advantage roses, peonies. as
ters, sweet peas and other short
stemmed blossoms. OF course, various
intermediate forms can be used to ad-
vantage for such flowers as daffodils
and other types OF the narcissus, but,
In general, the most useful jars belong
to the tall or the broad type.-Subur-

The easiest way to be orderly is to

the elimination drastic. 1t is surpris'
