 There is nothing inherently impos- sible, says pr. Nascher, in the idea that senile tissues, increase meta bolic activity and control certain 1 factors that contribute to old age. and thereby improve the mentality
 and the appearance of aged people. | Pride and even vanity are to be de-

A SPRY OLD AGE

Speaking at the Boston College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. l. L. Nascher of New York advanced some novel ideas on how to beat old age. Persons getting on in years should not, he says, slump physically and mentally. They should brace up the more, pay increased attention to their appearance, seek the society Of younger persons, frequent the musical comedy and burlesque houses, stimu-
 late the circulation by baths and massage, remove wrinkles, cultivates what hair they have left, sport a

COUNTY ALMOST FREE
FROM TREE PESTS

Umatilla county is remarkably free
from tree pests at this time. according
to l.. ]. Campbell, county fruit in
spector who is in the city today. Mr..
Campbell and his assistant have in
spected the orchards of practically all
sections of the county and pronounce
them in unusually good condition.
He spent yesterday at Mission. Cay
use and the agency inspecting the or
chards upon request. He found con-
siderable amount of fire blight at Mis-
sion but the trees at the agency were
very clean, he states. Fire blight is
also bothering orchardists in the east
end of the county, he states and he
will return there tomorrow To super
intend a fight against 1t The only
effective method to get rid of 1t is to
prune it back and burn II. he declares.
He has not found any evidence OF
fire blight in Pendleton and very lit
tie of any other pest. \ few evil
dences of Goblin moth have been re-
ported and he advises that owners of
trees spray for this particular pest
on July Is. "July 10 is the day set
for spraying in the Milton Freewater
section but it is little cooler here ana
/ bclieve the fifteenth would be the
most effective date The spraying
should be done with arsenate o: Lead"

Cement WALK WORK
BREAKS ALL RECORDS

That there have been more cement
walks laid in Pendleton within the
past half year, from January l to
July l. than in the five years preced-
ing is the statement made this morn
ing by Recorder Thomas F'itz Gerald.
Though he has not gone over his rec
ords to secure the actual figures, his
estimate is based upon his own per-
sonal knowledge, for, before a walk
can be constructed, it is first neces-
sarv to secure a permit from him.
The reasons for this remarkable in
crease in cement walk building are
easy to find. In the first place, the
city council has within the past year
adopted an ordinance making it ille-
gal to build anything but hard sur
face walks. In the second place, the
street committee and street commls-
sioner have been condemning all old
wooden walks which are at all dan
gerous or unsightly and in the third
place the present year has been mark
ed by increased activity in all lines oil
improvement work.
The last permit issued in June was
to School District No. l6 for the con-
struction of a concrete walk along the
entire north side of the high scheol
block distance of 400 feet

All Past Events of similar Nature.

One of the big features of the big
two-day Fourth of July celebration
will be a big automobile parade on
the morning of the Fourth and COM
mittee is now preparing to eclipse
anything that heretofore has been
held in the form of a gasoline pa
geant. Every car in the city and
every visiting car. be it new or old
big or small, six cylinder or one
lunger will be lined up at Roundup
Park at 10 a. m. and anyone not re-
ceiving a special invitation to drive
his or her machine in the line Of

gardless of the oversight. for the
committeeman are busy these days
and cannot make a thorough canvass.
1t is a we'll known fact that Una
tilla county is a wealthy county as
counties go and that there are few
counties in the state outside of Multi
nomah that can boast of the number
of gasoline driven vehicles to the
square mile that our own can. There
fore. it is desired that the auto pa
rade be one that will impress the Wis
itor and also give all of the celebra-
tors a chance to see what's what in
