In warning the country against lingo

alton, President Wilson does real serv

triotic and high-spirited to work the

An Indiana woman of 100 years is
advocating hot bread and closed
sleeping rooms. Is longevity an in
dividual problem?-Bonham Favorite.
Isn't it? We have been getting 4
headache over the record of that
landmark in Illinois who lived to be
1O9 years old, and just before his
death told his grand and great grand
survivors that had he begun to es-
chew liquor and tobacco at 20 in
stead of So he would have lived ten
years longer, assuring ten years
more of existence. That seemed
plausible-until within the past fort
night there appeared in Atlanta, Ga,
an Indian woman who said that
pipe smoking had prolonged her life
to 1l0 years and the Great, or some
other, Spirit, alone could tell how
much longer she will live by the
efficacy of corncob. At least
that's what a jewel of a reporter
on the Atlanta, Ga, Journal said she
said, and her phiz, pipe in mouth
and grin abaft the pipe was in the
Journal, so the tale must be true.
Next day we found that a sunny
old gentleman in Lowell, Mass, was
telling the world through a dis
play ad that he attributes his 104
years of enjoyment of the best earth
has to offer to the discriminating
use of somebody's unusual brand Of
whiskey. Is logeyty an individual
problem? You tell; we have given
up the problem.-Waco Morning
News.
In commenting on the above the
Denison Herald says; ut is now
time to have the rest of the lugnev-
.ty fads brought forward. Let us have
them all and we will publish a book
on the subject"
By way of helping the Herald man
out in his proposed understanding
We will state that we once knew a
man who lived to the age of 90, only
to die of broken heart. This man
chewed tobacco--the old-fashioned
double muscled kind which grows
on hillsides-from the age of six
years until the day of his death. He
also smoked the same brand con-
stantly except one day in every
three months on which day he was
a regular attendant at church. He
used to drink home made mint ju-
leps in summer time and hot tod
dies in winter time, and kept his
trousers in proper position by us
ing "gallusses" knit from home
spun yarn. He was not over-fastidi-
GUS in his diet, but had decided
weakness for hog jowl and turnip
green's. Unfortunately this gentle
man lost the sight of his one good
eve at the age of 95--he lost his
other eye at the hands Of a frisky
British soldier in the war of 1Sl2--
and brooding over the fact that he
could no longer see the many ad-
vances which his home town was
making lead to his ultimate and un-
timely demise OF broken heart, as
above stated, az 90 and years.
