Be Interested in Something.

Many persons waste their energies
and time by taking a sham interest in
life or some phase of it. They pre-
tend they are interested in art, music,
books, because their friends are inter
ested or they devote themselves to
charity because it is expected Of
them.
No one grows old so fast or unnat'
tractively as those whose minds are
inactive. You can prove for yourself
that this must be so. Let your mind
become passive for a moment and
you will note how the jaw drops, the
facial muscles sag and the eyes grow
dim. Imagine the effect of mind
never, or only spasmodically, active,
Verify to be interested is TO keep the
mind alert, and that spells youth.

DELAYED To Tuesday

thentic sources, General Villa had
taken the railroad station in Torreon,
and for the past two days has been
working his way from house to house
toward the denter of the city. He is
said to have taken nearly half the
town with an appalling loss of life.
Last night General NelaSco sent out
a white f1ag and asked for three hours
truce, to present a proposition for sur
render. The truce was granted and
the federal commanders offered TO
turn over the city with all military
stores If the lives of all officers and
men were guaranteed.
1t is understood that Villa at first
demurred at this, saying that many
of the garrison. including General
OroZco. who is said to be in Torreon
were traitors and must be executed.
1t is said that another armistice was
arranged for today, however, and that
Villa would probably accept the offer
Of the federal commander.
1t is known that a federal column
of reinforcements left Saltillo for Tor
reon. March so. but as all railroad
lines are out. il will require several
days for the relieving force TO arrive
at Torreon.
