MAN IN HIS PRIME AT 50.
German Business and Professional
 Men Agree in a Symposium.


 Berlin, Dec. 27.-The Tageblatt yesterday featured Christmas symposium entitled The Man at Fifty" Many physicians, noted commercial men, artists and others contributed their opinions, and they agree that a man of 50 years is as valuable as man of 40 winters, and frequently much more useful.
 Professor Krause asserts that 1t is absurd to describe a man of 50 as ever growing old. He declares that it is only exceptional cases, due to special causes, that he reveals de- creased elasticity
 Doctor Leppmann contends that man of 50 is highly superior in intellectual worth, owing to his re- liability, steadiness, experience and rational living.
 Professor Kampf, the president of the Royal Academy, asserts that the great artists of all times have done their best work between the ages of 40 and 60.
 Doctor Zeitlin, secretary of the Berlin Retail Traders Association, planes the Americanization" of German commercial life for the in- creasing prejudice against men of 50, this resulting in the ruthless election of the older employees of firms in favor of the younger men.

 mas-Newspaper Men and Detec-
 lives Occupy New Quarters.
 Princeton, N. J., Dec. 26-Presi- dent-elect Wilson spent most of Christmas day in bed suffering from slight attack of la grippe. He caught cold on Monday, it was learned, and his automobile ride to and from Trenton yesterday added to his indisposition. He turned his holiday, therefore, into day of rest and while other folks were busy celebrating in traditional Christmas fashion, he remained quietly in his room, seleping good part of the time.
 "Mr. Wilson is much better to- night" said Mrs. Wilson as she came out of the house to visit a neighbor. He had a little fever last night, but is much improved now"
 Last night the governor and his family received friends. Christmas morning the Wilson's all found their stockings filled, as the custom of Santa Claus still prevails with them. Presents from outside the family circle came in wagon loads.
 The secret service men and cor respondents who have had little frame house built for them across the lane from the Wilson's, found it q comfortable shelter, though it attracted the curious. The secret service men are on duty day and night, but not until yesterday did they have a place in which to keep warm and yet keep an eye on the house. The newspaper men have working space in it, too.
 The governor will be in Trenton today, and on Friday will start for Staunton, Va, his birthplace, where on December 28, his birthday, there will be a celebration for him.

Correct Watch and
 Good Work

Some one has said that If you keep in a good humor uH- til ten o'clock in the morning that you will be cheerful and happy all day.
 Likewise the man who is on time until ten o'clock in the morning is pretty sure to be on time throughout the day. No- thing will help you toward Success so much as an accurate watch. Nothing will hinder you so much as one too fast or too slow. If your watch needs repairing or regulating, and all watches do at least once 2 year, bring 1t to us, the charge is nothing compared te Ghe satisfaction it means te you and the time 1t saves.

Johnson AND ROOSEVELT

j In the above title the writer has
deliberately placed the name of the
governor of California ahead of the
cX-president He has done SO be-
cause he believes most people having
red blood will find higher commen
dation for the attitude of Johnson than
Of Roosevelt in the attitude Of the two
men touching the anti-alien legislation
The Press sometimes, but not al
ways. finds ground for high comncn-
datlun of Governor Johnson, and when
he defends the attitude of California,
not as aiming an injustice at Japan
nor seeking to interfere with national
or international policy, he is so far
in advance of the position of HoOse-
welt as to make the attitude of the
latter not highly creditable.
This is said because it has been
stated that Roosevelt wired Governor
Johnson urging him not to permit the
legislature to pass the anti-alien land
law This attitude recalls the other
time when Roosevelt interfered with
legislation in this state which was de
signed to protect the schools from
adult Japanese mn-ling with young
pupils.

who was to have been the states star
witness in the trial of the Mcnamara
brothers.
Meanwhile the McNamaras are la :
boring eight hours a day in priso I
stripes at San Quentin penitentiary.
While the-McNamaras are ceaselessly
laboring in the dusty prison jute mill,
McManigal spends his few waking
hours fashioning flimsy paper doilies
which he Sits into fantastic designs
with his well kept hands. McManigal
has been Los Angeles county's star
boarder for two years. From a drawn
faced man of $50 pounds he has de-
Veloped into the aldermanic size of
230 pounds. His pale, round face is
complacent and satisfied.
Occasionally McManigal is given a
days outing. Recently he was absent
from jail all day. The records indi-
Gated that he had been taken to the
district attorneys office-but at night
he returned with three tiny mackerel
and a smelt. He had been fishing.
McManigal is charged with dynamit-
ing the Llewellyn Iron Works here. He
has never been brought to trial. After
hc testifies at the third trial of Clarence
Darrow it is believed he will be quietly
released. The county authorities re-
fused to say today what they will do.
In the meantime, McManigaI doesn't
worry.

~REAT FINANCIAL STRENGTH

~ Residents Of Imperial valley arc
daily congratulating themselves on the
strength Tie valley now manifests
financially. There were years OF
struggle on the part of the pioneers
when it was difficult to obtain money
from outside sources and when The
land of the valley had not been brought
to the period of general money making
All that is a thing of the past, and
the farmers are making money mivcr-
sally now. while there is a flood of
volunteer money from the outside and
the local banks are sharing deposits
running far ahead of any previous eX n
perience and enabling them TO take
care of every demand on them that is
backed by suitable security.
Not only is there money available
for farming and for building. hut for
home making. and one can now fit
up his family here on as easy terms
as in older communities.
This financial condition is aiding in
j driving the valley ahead, and is one
of the factors that makes il possible
to say the people have now secured &
| leverage on events and can compel
! them to go.
One reason why This condition exists
! here is the misfortune which has come
oil some other sections, either from
frost or drought. and which has di-
Ncrted in this dircctian great crowd
Of people looking for homes or foI
Investments.
Throughout the state this valley Is
now marked in the popular mind 4.
! the most prosperous of agricultural
settlements. and This is creating a tide
Of immigration to the valley which
cannot now be diverted until il has rlli,
! its normal course and given to The
valley those hundreds of thousands oi
people who are needed.

than the JsW-haitsrs Of Russla, ands
they are deserving OF no sympathy !.
But the movement against alien owrF
ership OF land in this state does rN5t
come from rabid class, but meht is
the endorsement Of conservative Neo-
pie.
1t remains to be seen what the
Judgment of the people Of eastern
states is on this legislation, hut so
far as the west is concerned. there is
no doubt that Johnson has greatly
strengthened himself while Roosevelt
has lost in strength by their respective
positions on The question at issue.

Sad Death of U. of N. Man

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Helme has issued the following bulle-
tin, warning the public against the use
of "embalmed' meats, and promising
prosecution To butchers who fail 10
observe the law:
"A few weeks ago AT Ann Arbor a
student ate a Hamburger sandwich
and died within twelve hours from
ptomaine poisoning. As we explained
In a recent bulletin the ptomaine pois-
ON is formed in decaying animal prod
ucts. IL is chemical poison that no
amount of heat will destroy. The rea-
son IL occurs more frequently in Ham
burger and sausage is because of the
tendency OF some butchers To retain
the meat on the block until IL is no
longer saleable in its original form
then il goes TO the grinder for ham
burger or sausage.
Right here is where many butchers
use "A preservative known as sui
phites, this stale meat would not be
saleable as hamburger or sausage. Sui
phite preserve and embalm the meat
from further decay by making ii in
soluble and imputrescble. The process
of digestion Is one of decomposition.
Sulphites are not only injurious to
health in themselves. but by prevent
ing decomposition in the stomach in
jure the food product and make il in
'digestible. The great danger in the use
OF sulphites is that ii may preserve
hamburger or sausage in an apparent
~ saleable condition after decomposi-
ton has set in and ptomaine may have
formed i'm the meat. IL is a wise pre-
caution for a consumer who likes ham
burger steak Ito select the meat and
have II ground i'm his presence. When
YOU see hamburger of very bright,
garey and unnatural color, the prob
abilities are that il has been en-
balmed
The use of preservatives containing
sulphites is forbidden by the laws of
this state This, department has in the
past issued many warnings against the
use Of this preventative. In the future
all cases of sulphite preserved meat
will be vigorously prosecuted
