coat and evidently meant to plunge

his linen and destroyed all papers that

about him, unable to understand who
he was or why he had gone there.
At the hospital they said that it was
a case of amnesia, due to some shock,
and that in time Clements would re-
cover his memory.
Gradually he did recover it. He re-

WISCONSIN BRIEFS
La Toilette Is for Peace.

MADISON, WIS. = Senator La

dent Wilson to let it be known to all
mankind that the United States will

Mexican policy" says Senator La Fo.-
lette. "At this time it can only create
division where we should be united to
call in question the presidents reason

an armed force. Bloodshed on both
sides followed as the inevitable result

Preventing Old Age.

"a man is as old as he feels; a
woman as old as she looks. Degener-
alive diseases are on the increase.
Nowadays children are living to be old
er but adults don t live so long Hearts,
kidneys and arteries are degenerating.
Why?
Physicians know that syphilis, alco-
hol, tobacco and excessive eating are
causes of hardened arteries. 1t is
doubtful if with the exception, per-
haps, of tobacco) the above causes of
old age are more common now than
they were a century ago. Indeed, it
would seem that appetites are better
controlled nowadays.
1t is possible that infants are being
reared whose normal life span is but so
years instead of the biblical allotment
of three score and ten. If babies are
being saved to live so years, who were
formerly doomed to die in infancy, a
great gain has still been made.
The American man of affairs is a
strenuous animal He works with an
energy which has excited the wonder
of the world He plays as hard. He
eats fast. When he drinks, he's apt to
be after quick drug effect. He has
more nerves than muscle fibre. He
worries. He is too busy to get much
exercise. A hot fire eats up the coal
and burns out the CRATES.
What can be done about it? One
after another commentator has advised
us to let up in the fast pace that has
been set. There is the rub. If we
could let up, there would be no occa-
sion for concern. Like the man ahold
of the BEARS tail, we need somebody to
help us let go.
The remedy l have to offer is more
wholesome play. / said in one of the
early articles of this series that exer-
else which isn't fun don't as a rule do
any good. A man who enjoys golf,
tennis, baseball etc., will do more
good with less strain if he will take a
half hours play before he begins work.
His mind will act more quickly. His
decisions will be more positive, and
more nearly correct. He will reduce
the amount of time wasted in gazing
at the ceiling for answers which ought
to be ready to pop out of his head.
Taking this prescription will require
nerve. The serious minded who are
growing old so fast think they are
superior. They will make you feel a
twinge of shame because you feel we'll.
They will almost convince you that
signs of an approaching breakdown are
honorable scars which prove unswerv-
ing and conscientious devotion to work.
If they bluff you, you'll be as common
place as they are. If they don't you
can attend their funerals with pride
and self satisfaction.
