Your constitution nRst, Of course,
be strong and free from hereditary
weakness, bat you must live a clean
active and honorable life, if you want
to be centsnarian," says Dr. Richard
Bourn, the venerable, Sc year old doc
tor Of this city.
Eat what you want, but one third
less than your neighbOr, and be sure
Il you are meat lover TO always pick
the young. fat and wholesome meats.
Did you ever stop to think, how care
less we are in ehOsing our meat Do
you know that the Jew lives on the
average 1s years longer than the
Gentle. l attribute this to his care
in selecting his meat diet.
''on two streets in Mexico the other
day l counted twenty-five widows.
The average woman doesn't smoke,
chew or drink and hasn't from the
beginning Of history. She has more
vitality on account of this, so my ad-
vice is let the tobacco and the booze
alone.
"Take abundance Of exercise and
take it early in the morning. Two
hours in the new born day is worth
any other four hours during
the day 70 health. / retire
early, often one hour after cat
ing. Some win not agree with me
about this, but doesn't an animal eat
and then sleep shortly afterwards.
We are animals after al.
above all live morally and tenn
porately. Read the third chapter Of
John and read ii with reflection and
diligence and NOT in an idle and
dreamy way and you win learn much
Of the philosophy Of life.
@Cultiyate a repose, for mental IL
ritations tear you down as quickly
as an illness. Be active and you will
not have time to grow old.T
Dr. Bourne believes this code and
practices it. He lives and has lived it
for ninety-six years and we hope he
win enjoy many more years Of useful
ness in Mexico where he has been al
ways the youngest old man in this
community.
He continues to maintain his Office
downtown though having retired from
practice years ago. He comes to his
Office about $40 every morning and
shayes after which he returns to his
home, which is with W. W. Fry and
wife, the latter his daughter, and par
takes Of breakfast.

Boys Find Treasure Box
Il was not great while after Min
ME Reauhcau left her home that death
came to her uncle. Charles Reaubeau.
Last weeks freshets carried the in
secure and decayed structure away.
As the waters receded some boys
were exploring and they came on the
site of the shack. The shack was
gone and the current had cut ditch
where it had stood.
Near where the front door had been
was square object, black and cor
roded, that refused to move as the
earth that had surrounded it had done.
This object ATTRACTED the boys and
when they investigate they found it
was an iron box. still strong and Sc
curely concealed, despite the pranks
Of the river.
The boys reported the find to their
fathers. The box was removed and
opened. When the Lid was broken off
it was found to be filled with nuggets
Of gold and little buckskin sacks Of
gold dust.
Left Fortune to Minnie.
And laying across this fortune in
gold was a paper, written in the re-
eluse's hand, in which he said that his
fortune was for his niece, Minnie
Reaubeau. the only relative he had on
earth.
The amount Of gold in the box was
estimated by a Marshall jeweler to be
worth in excess of $4,000. 1t was
taken in custody by officials and is
held awaiting the claim of the heir.

KANSAS HOLDS UP FRANK FILM

KANSAS HOLDS UP FRANK FILM
Topeka, Aug. 26.-The Kansas mo-
tion picture censors got into a row
yesterday over allowing the pictures
OF the Leo NJ. Frank hanging scenes
10 be shown in this state. Two diff
erent film firms made movies Of the
scenes. Miss Carrie Simpson, one Of
the censors. killed the film she in
speeted yesterday. The Rev. Festus
Foster, who is employed regularly as
a censor, cut out the views of the
body hanging to the tree and then
passed the rest Of the film.
The fact that the two censors could
not agree on whether the pictures
be shown in Kansas was first checked
up to w. D. Doss, chief censor. But
he is in California. There was little
difference in the two films except that
they were taken by different compan-
les and the competition between the
companies is keen. When it appeared
that one company was going to be
permitted to show part Of the scenes
Of the Frank hanging the attorney
general was appealed to and he dir
ected that neither film be allowed to
be shown in Kansas until the chief
censor returned.

PLAN DRY LEGISLATURE
FOR MISSOURI NEXT time
The Anti-salooa League Would Abol-
ish Liquor in Missouri BY Statute
Is Announcement.

A statewide campaign IS to be ln'
a1gurated in every county and N ey'
lery state senatorial district in Mis-
souri for statewide prohibition BY
statutory ennctmens Of the next leg
Iislalnre.
The Missouri Anti-saloon League
decided 10 make ihis campaign At q
recent conference. 1t will drop II,
fight for county unit law and othef
regulatory measures and make the
oat-and-out fight for prohibition in all
Missouri. II dry legislature can be
elaeted statewide prohibition meas
urs can be .enected just as effectively
as a prohibition amendment 70 the con.
stitution, except, of course, that il il
subject TO repeal BY future legisla.
tures- The fight win be made to elect
dry members to the legislature in tho
house and senate
Up 10 Every Candidate.
Each county Ia to be organized and
every candidate for the legislature put
on record for or against statewide
prohibition. The campaign, il is ex.
pected. viii surpass Ia intensity the
prohibition amendment campaign Of
1910.
Drys Doubly Predominant
As result of recent elections more
than half the population of Missouri
now resides in dry territory, while
more than two-thirds the-area Of the
state is dry. As the rural districts
hold a big balance Of power in the
house, due to the constitutional provis-
ion giving each county member, that
body is certain to be dry. The fight
will largely hinge around the senator
ial districts. The senate was supposed
to be dry this last session, but the
"wets,s with the aid Of lukewarm
drys, were unable to manipulate legis-
lation so all the dry bills were smoth-
cred and not even reached vote.
Start Campaign in September.
As a start-of Of the campaign, more
than one hundred meetings viii be held
over the state this fall with speakers
from outside the state leading the cam
paign The first series of meetings
will be September 10 to 2S. The sec
ond series Of rallies will be in the first
ten days Of December. Among the
list Of -the-state speakers viii be
John G. Woolery, former Governor
Malcolm r. Patterson, Representative
Richmond p. Hobson and DR.. L. A.
Banks. Twenty or more state prohi-
bition speakers win join in the cam
paign.
Every county in the state will be
reached by at least one big rally in
the September and December meet
ings In some Of the close counties as
many as FIVE meetings will be held.
