10Th Yearly Event-Original
Verses by d. L. Cady,
Prominent in Literary
Exercises.

Windsor, Sept. G.--The 18th annual picnic
and Lafayette celebration on the summit
of Ascutney mountain to-day was II sue
cess. The exercises were presided over
by Postmaster Frank II. Clark. who has
the record of attending every picnic
since the stone house was dedicated in
1904.
Lieut.. Dr. Henry II. Weston of Windsor,
the first speaker, spoke interestingly of
the influence which General Lafayette
had on the fortunes of the American
patriots III the Revolutionary War and
OF the appropriateness of the United
States for war at the present time.
The Rev. l.. r. Daniels OF Windsor
happily contrasted the beauties of Yer
mont scenery with that of other parts
of New England.
The Hon. Edwin w. Stevens of New
York city, a native Vermonter. covered
the entire field of the geology. history
and beauty of hscutney mountain with
especial reference to the annual Labor
day climb.
Daniel L. Cady completed the program
by some original verses on Ascutney'
which were as follows:

UNHEALTHY LIFE IN CITIES
Statistics Show That Dwellers In "Hu-
man Bee Hives" Have Shortened
Days of Existence.

Forty years will soon be the old age
mark for business men If there does
not come a change In the manner OF
living In cities, according to deduc-
lions of DR.. Louis B. Welsmiller, physi-
cal director of the New York West
Side Y. M. C. A. These deductions are
based On the examination of more
than 1000 men during the last year.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said about the advantage of a sound
mind In sound body, the tendency
In large cities, Doctor Welsmiller says,
is to go on demonstrating excessive ac-
tivity of mind. The condition Is said
to be peculiar to hustling business
men. Result-tubercuiosi because of
the campaign against 1t, has been on
the decrease, while diseases of the
heart, arteries and kidneys which be-
long normally only to old age, have
been on the increase, until there are
more deaths from the latter than from
tuberculosis.
We are told that life Is too tense
and this tense condition is allowed to
hold on too long. A more general re
gard for the advantage of play that
will cause complete forgetfulness OF
business is suggested as the only so
luton of the problem of assuring ra-
tional health conditions.
