The Eugene excursion left Salem
promptly at 8 o'clock this morning and
a good.sized crowd of Salem boosters,
all decorated with ribbon badges, were
on hand to fill the four big coaches.
The Salem delegation had the train
and special crew all to itself and a ban
ner bearing the Capital City's slogan
was spread across the pilot of the head
coach.
The exact number on the special could
not be ascertained at the station for
the reason that several passengers fail
ed to arrive in time to purchase tickets
and were compelled to pay their fares
on the train later. There was not a
sufficient number on hand, however, to
enable the railroad company to allow
the special rate Of $40 for the round
trip and the excursionists were eonse'
ouently assessed $3.50.

MENTAL ACTIVITY AND AGE
That Attitude Of the Mind Has Much
to Do With Length Of Life is
Well Known.

A few years ago young man
died of old age" in a New York hos
pital. After an autopsy the surgeons
said that while the youth was in real
ity only twenty-three years old, he
was internally eighty.
1t is the aged mind that frequently
makes the body old. Keep growing
or de- is natures motto, motto
written all over everything in the
universe. There must be constant
activity in the mind that would not
age; and the body is but the express
sion of the mind.
There is no doubt that, as race
we shorten our lives very materially
through our false thinking, our bad
living, and our old-age convictions
Doctor Metchnikoff of the Pasteur in
stitute in Paris says that men should
live at least 100 years. Yet it is
only in rare instances today that a
man reaches even the century mark.

life and still retaining as much as
possible of it's vigor. freshness and
buoyancy ought to be prime object,
especially after one has passed fifty.

solutely essential for the attainment
of this object, the mental influence far
transcends all others. The attitude
of the mind has everything to do
with fastening or retarding the de
generatiye process incident to ones
declining years. 1t is an established
fact that the body follows the
thought. is shaped by the mental con
victions. emotions, moods Orison
