BIG EATERS AGE EARLY.

-
DR.. Nasher of New York, who is an
authority on the subject of senility
gives some indications of premature
aging and conditions that may be mis-
taken for it that may be summarized
briefly as follows:
Big eaters age early There is too
much waste to be disposed of by the
intestines. and intestinal decomposi-
ton and auto-intoxication occur.
The little and often" rule for feed
ing is wrong. Five-hour intervals and
sufficient at each meal should be the
rule.
If the aged person Is drowsy after
the meal. he should lie down; not
sleep sitting.
Wrinkles, if due to age, are fine; if
due 10 habit IVORY, mental concentra-
ton, etc.), disease or drugs, they are
coarse. The former appear late; the
latter may begin early.
The hardening of the cartilage at
the lower extremity of the breast bone
is an indication OF the degree of aging.
So long as this cartilage remains fiex-
ible to pressure with the finger. the
person is not old in the physiological
sense. for his arteries are not harden
ed. When this fiexibility is lost early
in life, however, it is a sign of early
senile changes.
The senile stoop, due to anatomical
changes, comes on slowly and late;
the senile SLOUGH, due to mental de-
cay, comes on early and rapid.

city yesterday on his way to North

The league was organized in Philadel-

Testament saved It's owners life.
Since the war began Mr.. Alexander
has devoted considerable attention to

NEATLY CAUGHT IN TRAP
Wealthy Man for Once Called on to
Prove That He Loved Art for
Art's Sake.

Peter De Whit. the English land
scape painter, was accustomed each
year to have a semi-private show Of
his pictures before sending them to
the Water Color Society's exhibition
On such occasions his friends fire.
quently bought pictures. which. Of
course, appeared at the public exhi-
bition marked Sold"
Among the painters friends was q
wealthy man who wanted to appear q
patron Of art and at the same time
keep his money. He managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold. He was always bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him
most. and having seen them, as he
was wont to declare. he could never
content himself with less beautiful
works.
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity and when the next show-day
came round, he concluded to test him.
After plenty of time had been allowed
for De WintS friends to make their
purchases, the rich man arrived. As
usual. his eye soon fell on two per
feet gems" marked Sold" Turning
to the artist. he said. Now, De Whit,
those are exactly the things | should
like to possess; what pity they are
not to be had"
my dear sir" said the painter slap
ping him on the back. II knew you
would Ike them. so | put the tickets
on 10 keep them for you"
The awkwardness of the situation
was only relieved when the enthusiast
tic admirer became the somewhat I'M
willing purchaser of the two gems"
