advanced years, and to suggest remedies that will
relieve the anxiety with which people regard the
prospect Of old age. They have formed the Ger
iatric Society Of New York. The name Is derived
from the word "geratology," which. according to
the dictionary means 'the scientific study Of de-
cadence and its Phenomena, especially as exhibit
ed in groups nearing extinction" The founders
call attention to the circumstance that by means
of vigorous publicity campaign and the work Of
various societies, composed chiefly Of women and
physicians, the death rate among children has
been greatly reduced. It was formerly reckoned
that one-half of the children born into the world
died before they reached the age Of five whereas
it is now figured that only about one-fourth of
them die in their first five years. By spreading
information about the care of the body during its
declining years the society expects to accomplish
some change in the death rate of elderly persons.
Undoubtedly there great many men in
this country who invite premature old age by
neglecting their health during the years when
their power is at it's height It has been charged,
and not without truth that Americans can not
rest. They can work and amuse themselves until
they become exhausted, and then sleep, but they
can not relax. There never was people more
conscientious about work than the American
people. But when the power that enables the
average American to work hard begins to fail, he
becomes easily discouraged In way he feels
that he has been cheated. He has looked forward
to old age with feeling that it would bring op-
portunity to do many things for which he had no
time during his busy years. and often one of the
things he has no time for is adequate rest. But
there is still hope for him if he will take proper
care of himself.-1ndianapoli News.

Prolonging Life

Of late years great deal has been done to
improve the condition of children. Societies for
conserving the health of babies thrive in almost
every community that has responded at all to the
trend of the times. Young persons are urged to
eat with care and to pay particular attention to
regular exercise and sleep. Insurance compan-
les have taken steps to conserve the health of
their policy holders. Cities have endeavored
through the medium of increased hospital facili-
ties take better of the health of their cti
zens Sports, such golf and tennis, which
take persons out of doors and can be played mild
ly or strenuously, according to the age and temp
er of the player, were never more popular than
ti1r are today The health Of school children
ha. n late years come to be regarded as part of
the problem of educating them. All these activi-
ties make for the prolongation of life, of course

UNLESS RAIN STOPS
WHEAT WILL SUFFER

EATON, O., August 6.-Although
thus far it is insignificant, a heavy
damage to the wheat crop in Preble
county will result unless the frequent
rains Of the last two or three weeks
terminate shortly. The only effect now
shown is the bleached condition Of
the grain but leading agriculturalists
say this does not hurt it's price.
Threshing has been greatly delayed
and large percent of the entire crop
is yet in the field. According to l. NJ.

crop in Preble county will be the poor

who failed to take fortune at it's flood
The world is full OF them.
There is q man today, ending his
old age in Cape Town, who, a genera

homestead under which the treasure Of
the Kimberley mine was discovered
a mine which yielded in a few years
500, 900. 600
And not long ago another man died
penniless in johannesburg who de-
clined to buy the barren acres spread
over. the De Beers mine for $4,000. a
purchase which would later have pro-
duced the income OF nearly $4,000, 200

The famous big-game hunter. F. c,

have bought for IS an acre as much as
he pleased Of the South African veldt
under which, though no one then
dreamt it, hundreds of millions of gold
| were lying hidden. One single acre
would have made him rich.
Similar instances of fortunes los,

modest $500 was refused for RIP Var
