"Dont's,.' for Men i'm the Forties.

"DOnt'S.' 1Of Mcn In CIlc rOfdcSs
In the October American Magazine
a contributor writes an entertaining
and helpful article entitled Grow
ing Young at Fifty This man tells
how he was old at forty-six, with
death just around the corner. AT
fifty he is ten years younger, more
youthful, just through obeying a few
simple rules. In the following ex-
tract taken from a conversation be-
tween this man and his doctor ap-
pear some of the "donts" for men
in the forties:
"The things that l mustn't do or
that l must limit myself in doing
were numerous. A lot of them had
to do with diet. Hot breads, pie
crust, fried things were utterly ta-
boo. Meats and the allowable things
however, were to be eaten in moderar
ton. l should have but two meals
a day, preferably breakfast and din
ner. And if l got hungry in the
meantime, 1 must content myself
with a little fruit.
1T won't seem so satisfying at the
moment he made clear, as lunch
con of the kind you've been used to,
but half an hour afterward you will
not be hungry, and you'll feel great
deal better
"'No alcohol, you said?' I suggest
ed.
IA single glass of beer will not
matter, occasionally he directed.
But no cocktails, high-balls, or any
thing of that sort
For breakfast l might have half
a cup of coffee, and since had been
for years almost a constant smoker
he would not take tobacco away al
together. Twelve cigarettes and one
cigar, however, were where he drew
the line.
Moderation he concluded, is to
be your watchword in everything.
Real moderation. And that doesn't
mean leading comparatively regu-
lar life for month, or two months,
or three months, and then jumping
over all the fences in a single night.
You are to lead a strictly regular
life, day after day, week after week,
year after year. That's your SEN
tence. And, believe me, you are not
going to find it half as hard as you
think you will

DIR. YAMEI KIN TALKS.
Chinese Woman Physician Gives Her
Views on Suffrage.

Chinese Woman Physician Gives Her
Views on Suffrage.
If American women, when they be
gan their struggle for the ballot, had
begun instead to train their boy chill
dren in the proper consideration OF
women, their sex would now have
equality as a matter of course, Says
Dr.; Yamei Kin, China's foremost wo-
man physician, who is in this coun-
try on furlough for a year.
Not that DIR. Kin isn't believer in
suffrage.
women ought to have the bal
lot,'' she said, "for the sense of re-
sponsibility it will give them. When
they vote they can't say of this or
that law, 'Oh, well, can't help that;
it's bad, but 1 have nothing to do
with the making of the laws Wo-
mans vote won't make much differ
ence in Conditions, for they will vote
just about as men do, but it will
make vast difference in women"
DR.. Kin's opinion is based on OBJ
servation, for she came from China
by way of California and spent some
time. there. She brought away few
uualms on the subject of what the
franchise will do to women.
"I'm afraid the women who go into
politics will get hard and tricky
she said. ''Of course women will
want to hold Office and they ought
to. Women are splendid in admins
trative and detail work, as their SER
vice on hospital boards, etc., shows.
But administrative work is one thing
and politics is another. I suppose,
however, that the women who get
tricky in politics would be tricky in
some other work if they weren't in
politics.
Women certainly have lot to
learn if they're going into the politi-
cal game. In California I met Mrs.
Helen Williams, who ran for lieu
tenant governor there. She told me
that when the nomination was forced
upon her she felt as helpless as a
baby. She didn't know one thing
that she ought TO do. The men had
to tell her.
DR.. Kin spoke at the Connecticut
suffrage convention on October 20,
but aside from that she is not going
to take any part in the movement.
She refused an invitation to march
in the suffrage parade today.
Il have a very liberal feeling TO-
ward those who like to march in pa
rades," she said, but I don't.
never would walk in a parade in
China, and why should I here?'
The so-called woman suffrage
movement in China has collapsed,
DR.. Kin said.
1T was a forced thing, a worked
up thing, which made good deal of
noise, but meant nothing. Men
don't vote in China; they are not
ready for it yet. Yuan Shih-kai is
preparing the monarchy so that when
the Chinese people are ready for
freedom the thing can be done with

BAMBERG, S. G. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4
JOHN ANDRE, BRITISH SPY.
Was Captured at Tarrytown, n. Y.
135 Years Ago.

the roadside is a little shaft of mar
BILE, surmounted by statue in bronze
Of a continental soldier, which bears
the inscription: ''On this spot, on
September 25, 1880, the spy, Major
John Andre, adjutant general of the
British army, was captured by John
Paulding, David Williams and Isaac
Van Wart."
The land on which this monument
stands was given for the purpose by
a colored man named William Tay-
For, and an address was made by
Henry J. Ramona, a New York edi-
tor, on the occasion of it's dedication
On October Z, 1853.
1t was in March, It'll, that young
Andre, then only 20 years of age,
came to America with one of the
English regiments.
= Young, handsome, clever, full of
gaiety, an artist <and a poet, he was
the life of the British army. While
the troops Of Washington were nak-
ed and starving Andre was the lead
er of revels in Philadelphia. When
the British soldiers evacuated that
city and went to New York Andre
went with them, and, as before, he
was the master of the revels.
Andre, who had known the wife of
Gen. Benedict Arnold, in Philadel-
phia, entered into correspondence
with Arnold, and was the agent
through whom Arnold bargained, un-
der the promise of large reward,
for the surrender of West Point, the
key to the highlands of the Hudson.
Andre visited Arnold within the
American lines to carry out his
treachery. He was captured on his
return by three American farmer
boys. Papers making clear the trea-
son of Arnold were found upon An
dre's person, who by his own frank
confession was convicted as a spy
and sentenced to be hanged Arnold,
by the blunder of an American SOL
dier, got wind and escaped to the
British ship lying in the Hudson.
Sir Henry Clinton, by the most
urgent representations to Gen. Wash
ington, tried to save his favorite,
but in vain. There was but one way,
sthe surrender of Arnold, to avert the
fate decreed to Andre. This course
the British, in good faith to the
traitor, could not take. Andre plead
ed for a soldiers death, but the
Americans held in remembrance the
fate of the young hero, Nathan Hale,
who had been hanged as spy. An
dre died with heroic frmness, and
the whole British army went in
mourning. While the name of Ar
mold is forever a synonym for trea-
son, the fate of Andre, even among
our schoolboys and schoolgirls, yet
excites commiseration. Arnold miss
ed one chance to restore himself, in a
degree at least, to the consideration
of mankind. He might have deliver
ed himself to Washington and de-
manded Andres exchange. But he
did not. He served with fervor in
the British army. At his death, &C
cording to tradition, into which it
is best not to inquire too closely, he
called for an old continental uniform
and a sword belt received from
Washington and died with these
around him.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE LOSES
ELECTIONS HELD IN MANY
STATES TUESDAY.
Statewide Prohibition Loses in Ohio
Governors Elected in Several
States.

Amendments to the constitutions
of the State of New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts, to enfran-
chise women have met with appar-
emily overwhelming defeat at the
hands of the voters, while the amend
ment to the Ohio constitution for
Statewide prohibition in that State
met similar fate.
In New York State the vote on
suffrage from 2,467 districts out of
5,713 in the State, gave 241,928 for,
and 321,418 votes against the meas
ure.
The returns undoubtedly indicat-
ed also the defeat of the project to
adopt a new constitution.
The Republicans have a safe ma
jority in the New York State assem-
bly,.
The State elected three Republican
congressmen: N. S. Gould, in the
36th; B. H. Smell, in the 31st, and
w. S. Bennett, in the 23rd district
In Massachusetts, the vote on the
suffrage amendment from 93S pre-
cincts out of 1,140, was 95,077 for
and 1892 against the measure.
The election for governor at half
past II appeared to be close. Re-
turns from 938 districts out of LAO
in the State gave Mccall, Republican,
1S3,332 and Walsh, Democrat, 1885,
O75. The missing districts are in
sections where Mccall is expected to
show great strength.
In Pennsylvania the returns were
slow in coming in, but the defeat of
suffrage was indicated by an over
whelming majority.
Early returns in mayoralty elec-
ton in Philadelphia indicated the
election of Thomas B. Smith, Repub-
lfcan.
The indicated majority for Har-
rington, Democrat, running for gov
ernor of Maryland, was five thousand
in the city of Baltimore shortly after
II p. m. No reports from the Mary
land counties had been received.
George Puchta, Republican, was
elected MAYOR of Cincinnati.
Detroit, Mich, voting on plan to
purchase the local street railroads
showed from 80 precincts (out of
202) 14,351 votes for and 1858
against the measure.
In New Jersey the Republicans
gained two State senators, which will
make the next senate stand 13 Re
publicans to 8 Democrats, and they
elected IL Republican assemblymen,
which will make the next house
stand 81 Republicans to % Demo
Gratis. President Wilson came over
from Washington to vote at Prince
ton.
In Kentucky, where governor is
being elected, both Republican and
Democratic leaders are claiming vic
tory. The latest returns, however,
showed that A. o. Stanley, Demo
crat, was leading the Republican
nominee, E. P. Morrow, by about 81
600.
In Mississippi and Virginia the
Democrats were easy winners. IN

tickets and municipal officers were
