NO NEED TO GIVE UP GAMES
Men of Middle Age viii Feel Better
II They Occasionally Indulge in
Favorite Pastimes.

The age at which men find them
selves compelled by pressure of busi-
ness or the cares of life or by phys
ical infirmity to give up their fsvorite
game Is advancing. says the Youths
Companion. Once upon time games
we're almost exclusively for those
who were still in school or in college.
When a boy took up what was de-
pressingly referred to as the serious
business of life" he was expected to
abandon the frivolous point Of view
that playing games was supposed TO
denote. The boys of that period are
today serving late apprenticeship
at the game of golf or spending fire.
quent afternoons as spectators Of pro-
fessional ball games.
Having found out for themselves
that such early deprivation is mis-
take, they do not impose 1t on their
sons. Innumerable Americans are
nearing middle age who are almost as
active on the tennis courts or on the
golf links as in the days of their
youth Football, of course, they have
had to give up; 1t cannot be played
as the casual recreation OF a busy
man. To baseball some men cling,
although with difficulty; 1t requires
larger number of players than is
readily available. Yet, on holiday oc-
casions, when middle aged men long
out of practise engage In baseball,
there will always be a fair proportion
of them who show that they retain
much of their Juvenile skill and alert
ness. They do not slide to bases, but
they field the ball cleanly and bat
vigorously, and not only feel them
selves, but make the observers be-
lieve that with a little practise they
could, in the vernacular, come back" ;"
The giving up of games should be
so gradual, so voluntary, that it In
wolves no sense of loss or of sacrifice.
Generally speaking, so long as man
has an impulse and desire to play
a game he will be the better for
yielding to it. That is the wisdom
that the new generation has learned.

SEEMS THE MONTH OF WAR
Singular Fact That April Has Seen
Beginning of Conflicts Involving
United States.

In the spring nations fancy light
ly turns to thoughts of war, at least,
SO far as this American nation is con-
cerned. May be it is an outward and
visible sign in the mass of the in
terror application of sulphur and mo-
lasses to the individual However that
may be, this country has usually man
aged to get into action about the time
the sap is running up the trees and
the farmers are putting in their hrst
vegetables and tubers.
The French and Indian trouble started
in April, 1854, although the clash at
Great Meadows did not come until the
next month. The battle Of Lexington,
opening the Revolutionary war-if one
ignores the ITO claim of the battle of
Alamance to that distinction-was
fought on April 10, 1775. The Revolu-
tionary war ended, by the way, April
IL, 1888. The Black Hawk Indian war
was also an April proposition and it
lasted Is months. The second Creek
Indian war really began in April, al
though the first blood was shed on
May 5, 1895.
The war with Mexico began April
"a. 1916, and the Civil war began in
April, the first bloodshed being in
Baltimore on the anniversary Of the
battle of Lexington. That war also
ended in April In April, 1898, this
country entered on it's war with Spain.

DRINK MUCH IN HOT WEATHER
Plentiful Supply Of Cool Water ls I'm.
peratiVe to Maintain Normal
State of Health.

In hot weather you notice that you
are constantly thirsty. Often you feel
that you simply can't get enough to
drink. You needn't worry about the
feeling. 1t merely means that the ma
chine of your body is working nor
mally.
This mechanism Is driven by heat
engine. The food you eat has heat
value just the same as coal. It's COM
bustion keeps the heat of the body day
and night at about 9S 2-5 degrees.
Temperatures in the neighborhood of
100 degrees put something of strain
on the mechanism regulating the heat
of the body, for then the body must
be cooled below the temperature of
the surrounding air. This is done by
the sweating process. Evaporation
keeps the temperature down.
1t can be worked out as a problem
in physics that the food eaten in a
day by workman with an average
appetite would produce enough heat to
evaporate about six quarts of water at
the temperature of the body. An Eng
lish medical officer stationed in India,
where the temperature for months at
time does not fall below 100, reports
that a daily consumption of about six
quarts of water was required for a
person taking a considerable amount
of exercise.
It is necessary to drink plenty of
water to supply the body with enough
material for evaporation to keep cool.
incidentally it may be noted that
hot weather, even in India, isn't neces
sarily heaithful. This same medical
officer, DR.. e. H. Hunt, who is connect
ed with the railway service, reports
he has never come across a case of
sunstroke in person known to be
healthy. If man were slightly i'll,
however, then the heat might make
trouble If he over-exerted himself.

SPEECH THAT WON THE GIRL
Really Marvellous Combination OF
Words Left the More Humble
Suitor Simply Nowhere.

]. B. McGhee of Roswell, N. M,
writes to tell of negro girl who had
two "cullud" suitors, says the Kansas
City Star One was a hard working
negro who always had job, but was
a little short on style. The other nev-
er worked, but wore tine clothes and
adorned the street corners, and was
without money most of the 'jme. Both
wanted to marry the girl End she, al
though strongly in favor ri style her
self, had a strong hanke.ing after the
one with the steady job. So she de-
cided she would invite them both to
dinner. wait on them herself. and the
one who had the best manners she
would accept. Accordingly they came
to dinner.
She first waited on Jim, the hard
working negro, and said: Have
sugar and cream in your coffee, Mr..
Jim?" Cream only, if you please,
ma'am," replied Jim.
Then to the stylish suitor. Have
sugar and cream in your coffee, Mr.
Sambo?" Both if you please, Miss
Dinah," said Sambo, and he added;
Miss Dinah, you knows de homo

Monkeys and Gum.

In tropical countries the natives
have many unique ways of catching
monkeys. One of them as explained
by traveller is this:
The hunters walk about in short
boots in sight of the monkeys. Then
they take the boots off, place some
gum in the bottoms and leave them
on the ground. Withdrawing to a
great distance themselves. Presently
the monkeys come down from the
trees, try on the boots and when the
hunters come after them the boots
stick to them and they are unable to
climb. Thus the initiative little mon
keys are captured.

SILO MEANS MORE MILK
A Food Supply That Is Better
and Lasts LOnger-Some
Precautions

From practical standp ,int'the value
of silage as food may be shown 10 many
ways, writes &c. b." IN the Indiana Far M
Ell. First, it is easily digested. 1t keeps
the digestive system in a state of health
activity and all stock fed silage show the
beneficial effect in the healthy condition
of the hair and skin. For mich cattle it
seems especially we'll adapted. When
We take into consideration the value of
silage over dry feed, the cost per ton and
the small amount of space required for
storage, it is certainly worthy of our ear
nest thought. The cost of silage per ton
varies somewhat, but we are safe in say
ing it should not exceed $3.50 per ton.
Land that will produce 40 bushels of corn
per acre will make from 10 to II tons of
slage. The testimonies of hundreds at
farmers indicate that silo will pay for
itself in three years. We are certain
that silo is most economical in storing
feed. as about 400 cubic feet of NOV
whereas one.eighth of that space, or 80
cubic feet, is required to store one ton of
silage in the silo, and in one cubic foot
of silage there are twice as many pounds
foot of hay from the haymow. Again
the silo saves time in feeding in the win
ter, as it is easy to climb up into the silo
where it is warm and throw down the
do in
feeding cattle silage than two men can
do feeding dry corn fodder.
A sio means more milk to sell. The |
farmer can have some silage to feed dur
will enable his cows to produce from 20 |
to 40 pounds more butter fat during one
or two critical months. This will mean
from so to 100 pounds more in year.
cows once drop in milk production dur
ing any part of their lactation period
ttey cannot regain the flow.
1t is important that owners of silos
first opened only small feed should be
gwen, DIS i'll changing from grass or dry
feed to silage, if a regular full feed is
given, the silage will perhaps slightly
affect the milk for few milkings, and if
The change is from dry feed it may cause
100 great an activity of the bowels.
There should be at least three inches of
'ilage used each day from the silo. 1t
should be kept level on the surface, and
none left in the feed-room or managers for
next time.

Fault in Education.

One regrettable fact about the ad
vanced education of many young per
sons is that they have been alienated
from their homes and families and the
"old-fashined" ways of the latter. The
tragedy of this gulf which school and
college have created between students
and their parents is known only to the
mothers and fathers who have endured
1t. Usually, also, the explanation is
that the children have not won to even
the beginnings of wisdom, else they
would value the real worth of the
parents whose greatness of loyalty and
service and sacrifice is beyond the
power of the schools to bestow Any
education which makes boy asha ned
of his mother and father is bad odu
cation.

county to support the private schools and
colleges all over the State, when they are
already taxed to pay for the support of
the public schools, and high schools estab-
ished under our public system?
1t is all right to support our public and
high schools, and there the burden of the
taxpayer ought to cease.
But instead of that he is forced to pay
his hard earned money to support private
schools and colleges all over the State.
The State is not bound to support these
private institutions. We mean by private
schools that they are not part of the
State school system. In the second place.
there is no State need of them, because
the public system is as far as the tax
payers generally ought to be burdened. If
the people want to send their children to
college, let them pay for it.
1t is time there was halt in these Wild
cat and unjust appropriations of the money
of the taxpayers. They are neither wise
nor just. and there are always good jobs
behind them for an interested few, who
fatten on the people. The Democratic
party owes 1t to the people to put a stop
to this corrupt system. because it claims
and processes to be an honest and econom-
ical party, and we charge it to appropriate
no more money to Johns Hopkins Uni
versity in this generation. for it has been
hideous nightmare of the taxpayers, as
well as the other private schools and col
leees.
