Election Time In The United States.
Probably the most exciting event
which happens in the United States
is election. 1t Is an event Ia which
not only a community, state, or a
section OF the country is Interested,
but the whole nation is excited over
the question, WHO shall govern the
country, and all its VARIOUS parts?"
The real beginning of the excite
ment occurs before the Primary cleo
ton, when several members of each
party announce themselves as candi-
dates to be nominated for a certain
office. They outline the plans which
they would follow, should they be
elected to the desired office, and pro.
coed to let the public know how
reasonable and beneficial these plans
would be; and, incidentally, what
flne capable, unselhsh and honest
men they are. More or less of this
(mostly less) is believed by the public,
and on primary election day votes are
cast either directly for the candidates,
or for delegates who will do all In
their power to have the desired men
nominated.
After such a primary election is
over, the real campaign begins. The
ambitious candidates select a group
of helpers, take their favorlte weapons,
boosting, SANDER. and ridicu.p, and
are ready for the fray. determined to
fight to political death.
From then until election time
politics reign supreme in the public
interest, and the press. Politics are
discussed on every street corner, at
every public gathering. and in every
business and home. They are dis
cuSsed every day OF the week and
every hour Of the day. Arguments
wax hot between people, often term
mating in the use OF lists in addition
To The eloquent use Of augmentation
and profanity. Needless to say, no
one is ever persuad To desert his
party, in spite OF black eyes and
bloody noses, but are more re iluus

be found that does not pertain to
politics. But, Alas. One is doomed
TO sore ppointment. IT, seems as
f even a sale cannot be effected with
out Il reference to politics. From the
papers one learns what the opposing
candidates think Of each other. Each
iiays the other numerically with as

and slanderous at any other time.
One cannot keep his mind from the
thot OF politics for an hour. You are
besieged by politicians begging fol-

he street aud try To start an argu-
ment. or drag you off to a political
meeting. You come home, and your

But all thugs have an end. and at
last comes Election Day. Everyone
who is old enuf to vote, flocks to the
polls. School is closed, business is
neglected. and the Post Office ceases
! to exist as far as its usefulness is
concerned. There is much argument
and betting. The air is blue from
cigar smoke. Every ore is excited
Even the dogs are patriotic and cele-
hrate the event with numerous fights.
Tne excitement continues until the
last ballot is counted and the final
results Of the election known. Then
everyone makes a noise. Some cheer
wildly, others voice their disappoint
ment in loud talking and blasphemy
But finallY the crowd meltS away, the
excitement dies down. and the polls
cease to be place Of interest until
the next election.

GUIDE TO HEALTH.
Thrcc Ways to Aid Nature in Pre-
 serving Life.
lTrON TinneS.D

An American magazine recently of fered three prizes for the best ''stor- ies'' by the writers as to the means adopted for the preservation of health. The awards have been made and tho prize winning papers have been published The facts furnish an interesting study. The first prize went to a man who tcrsely said the best thing he did about his health was to forget it. He explained that he had been given to all sorts of food fads and was "a crank in various respects and one who took n cynical view of almost everything. He was called on to serve as cook in a Young Mems Christian Association camp for boys. This brought him near to natures heart and also to methods of self-denial, of doing what he coH'd to serve others, became the main thing. and in that line of activity he found health of mind and body, The prize winner urges other to adopt this "cure" for he says "he that selfishly hoardeth up his lift shall lose it, but he that spendeth his life freely in the service of others shall have life more abundantlN.'
 . The second prize was won by Il
 
 man. who became a drunkard and sank to a low level. While serving in .a menal capacity at a drinking place three years ago he was Seize, with dclirum trcmens and while at deaths door was taken to a hOSpitai. His life was saved and he then re- nounced all use ot liquor and has since lived in upriGhtncsS and good health. Of course his rule of health is total abstinence from ntOXicanta and temperance in everything else. The third prize went to lady scNen- ty-five years of age. who IS credited with remarkable strength and cndur- ance and is regarded as wonder. She has a record of never having been i'll during her mature lie. and she attributes her excellent physical conditions to three simple Gymnastic exercises which she practices upon arising in the morning and just be- fore retiring at night. These eXe1- cises she describes for the bcneht Of those who choose to adopt similar method Certainly a SprlShtly laoV
