DIET FOR THE AGED.

To live long and to remain well and
active is the object of every normal
man or woman. AS old age comes on,
nature loses the inclination for exer-
else, but unfortunately she does not
deprive US OF the desire to eat. Our
eating should adapt itself to our ac-
tivities, and thus by absteminous hv-
Ing We could do away with many or
the diseases subject to old age. From
twenty to forty the vital organs are
young and respond to demands with
out apparent difficulty, but at sixty
the stomach and liver are beginning
to resent over work, the exercise, life
In the open air and work of earlier
years are missed and the body feels
the strain
The result of over-eating develops
fat and superfuous material, which
clogs the system and chokes the vital
organs, and we find ourselves with
rheumatism, gout, Indigestion, hard
ening Of the arteries and various 9TH
er serious troubles. Tissue building
foods should be partaken Of sparingly,
riety it is well to keep them in the
diet. Meat should be eaten but once
q day
The aged who are troubled with too
much avoirdupois should cut out fats
largely, not eating many root vegeta-
bles and scarcely any sweets.
A good diet for seventy or seventy
five should be made up Of vegetables,
fruit, some fish, eggs, little meat
and simple cereals. Two quarts of
water or more should be taken each
day between meals. The water is
needed to flush the system and avoid
friction, besides that which is needed
in the tissues and blood
Stimulants, such as tea and coffee,
should not be strong.
For the aged it is better to eat
often and lightly. Exercise in the
open air is as necessary at seventy as
1t is at seven.
Those who exercise great deal can
eat and assimilate more food than
the less active. II one has reached
the age OF sixty with no disease shad-
owing him, he should by right living
show his gratitude and not become In
dolent and invite disaster.

.BRYhN'S DOUBLE IS
PRESIDENTS CALLER
Minneapolis Man Looks Like
Secretary of State, When
He's Wearing His Hat.

Benjamin Spellman. OF Minneapolis,
who called at the executive Offices
yesterday, is very nearly a double of the
Secretary of State--when he has his
hat on his head. The difference in
the two men is especially noticeable
when their hats are removed, the Sec
retary Of State being bald except for
the famous fringe of up-curling hair
which circles the back of his head.
while Spellman has a mat that would
come handy in a football scrimmage.
During the last campaign, Spellman
and Charles A. Towne attended a po-
litioal meeting in Maryland.
'Hurrah for Bryan and Clark" was
the cry that greeted them. Spellman
admits that he looks something like
Bryan. but Towne declares he can't
see the similarity between himself
and Clark. -...-s .

THE Parry AFFILIATION CLAUSE

THE people of Baltimore county are SO
determined to remedy the condition of
their local affairs that some 10000 Demo-
cratic voters in that county have signed
a pledge to not participate in the forth
coming Democratic primary, in order that
they may be free to vote for independ-
ent candidates, if it should seem advisa
BILE to do So" The purpose and princi-
pie involved in this action are of course,
altogether admirable from the stand
point of good citizenship; but it hardly
seems to us that the primary law necessi-
tates such a course People do not seem
to understand that when the primary Law
requires voter to state his party affilia-
tion before voting at the primary, it does
not call upon him to pledge his support
to the ticket that may be nominated by
his party. If it did such thing as that,
It would be most vicious law, because
1t would be a deadly blow to independ
ence in political affairs and therefore to
good citizenship. AS a matter of fact it
does nothing of the kind and ELECTION
OFFICIALS ARE GUILTY OF MISCON-
DUCT WHEN THEY ATTEMPT TO
MAKE THE VOTER AT THE PRIMARY
THINK 1T DOES. Indeed the law most
emphatically imposes upon election Off
Gals the following mandatory instruc
tions: ut SHALL BE THE DUTY OF
THE BOARD OF REGISTRY TO EX
PLAIN TO EACH VOTER THAT THE
STATEMENT OF SUCH PARTY AFFILI-
ALTON DOES NOT BIND HIM TO VOTE
FOR THE CANDIDATE OF SUCH PAR
TY AT ANY GIVEN ELECTION"
This quotation from the Primary Law
itself (Ch. 347, 100 E Acts 1922 ought to

duty and to every primary voter what is

GIVE 1T HEED

GOVERNOR GOLDSBOROUGH was
right in his address recently before the
State Teachers Association, when he
made plea for the more and better at
tention to our rural schools. After all
the country district school is the founda-
ton of the Republic" and when We fail
to properly regard its supreme import
ance, We fail in a great public duty.
Every American child is entitled to
free, common school education; and the
children OF the country districts are as
much entitled to that high privilege and
blessing as children elsewhere. A COM
munity or a State which neglects its
country districts is tagging far in the
rear of civilization, is indeed inviting its
own decay.
