How to Live to 100.

Henry F. Swanbeck, the oldest Odd
Fellow in America, who lives at the
age of 100 at Greenwood, Nebr., was a
boyhood friend Of Bismarck. His
grandfather lived to be 1T. Follow
ing are his rules for living to be 100:
Go bed early and get up early.
Never sleep in a heated room.
Keep fresh air in the sleeping room
Sleep out of doors in summer-win-
ter, too, if it can be arranged.
Drink plenty of fresh water.
Use very little red liquor.
AS old age comes on take, each
morning, small wineglass of one
third glycerin and two-thirds good
whisky.
Smoke as often as you please, but
do not inhale the smoke or blow out
through nostrils.
If you are unfortunate enough to
lose your wife get another. 1t is not
good for man or woman to live alone.
Don't worry over anything. Worry
kills more people than disease.
Keep an even temper at all times.
Be cheerful at all times.
Keep the feet dry and the head
clear.
Never eat meat. A little chicken
will not harm, but must not be eaten
too often.
Eat plenty of fresh fish.
Keep away from sweet stuff. 1t
ruins the stomach and kidneys.
Take plenty of outdoor exercise.
Walk a great deal
Follow these rules, and any normal
man, barring accidents, can live to be

Judge Reed Of the circuit court sit
ting at Rhinelander, has held that the
forestry board has no right to lease is
lands for a long period The board
had given a 21-year lease of Crescent
Isle, south of the city to L. P. Tread
well of Amigo, and the former occu-
pant of the island, named Geo. Weav-
er, brought suit complaining that the
board had no authority for their ac-
ton. The court sustained the demur-
rer, although the attorney general had
rendered an opinion to the contrary.
Over 100 leases similar to this one
have been granted in the Villas and
Oneida county forest reserve.
Sheboygan county now takes the
lead as the leading cheese county in
Wisconsin if not in the whole country.

pal product of the factories and 49,

Beavers working in Bear creek be
tween Merrill and Goodnow, have kept
a section gang busy tearing out the
dams. The beavers are protected, and
the Milwaukee road has no other
course toward preventing washOuts on
its tracks than to dynamite the dams.
The section gangs tear out the dams
during the day and at night the colony
comprising nearly a thousand of the
animals, rebuild their entertainments.
1t was suggested that since the crea-
lures build their dams of trees grow
ing on the banks it might be a good
plan to remove the adjacent trees.
This was done and the beavers went
far up the stream to cut down trees,
floating them down to where they
thought the dam ought to be. The rail-
road company has appealed to the
state conservation commission for re
lief.
