SIMPLE LIFE BEST:
Wear and Tear Cause Statesmen
to Die Young.
SAYS WORK ISN'T TO BLAME.

Yale Professor, After an Exhaustive
Study on Question Of Vitality Of Our
Public Men, Declares Quiet Life is
the Long One.
New Haven, Conn.-That the simple
life is the long one and that the con-
vivial social life of the nations rep
resentatives in congress Is not condu-
Give to longevity, but has, on the con-
trary, been the means of taking of at
a too early age many Of the best men
OF the country, are deductions made by
Professor Irving Fisher, one of the
best known political economists in the
country, after an exhaustive study.
presidents, vice presidents and con-
gressmen are a select group, endowed
at the outset with unusual vitality.
The vitality Of most Of them is severe
~ taxed and materially reduced by the
heavy responsibilities and bad person
al hygiene incident to public career.
A minority escape the worst of these
conditions and retain the major part of
their natural endowment of vitality.
Bad hygiene has been more destruc-
tive than the weight Of responsibility.
"This conclusion is suggested by the
fact that the vice presidents suffer a
greater curtailment Of life than the

WALKS 1900 MILES TO
REGAIN HIS HEAL TIL
When Doctors Seem to BE Givina Up
Hope He Handles Own Case and
Resorts to WaikinQ

Davenport, 1a.-Robert Sindt, thirty
i've years old, was facing physical
breakdown last fall. The doctors did
not hold out much hope for him. He
= Is pretty good sized man when in
robust health, but his weight had drop
ped to 1876 pounds.
"T'll doctor my own case and fresh
air will be my first prescription" de-
cided Sindt
So he started walking. Not to any
destination in particular, but just jog
ging along as far as he felt like going
every day. He started to walk in All
gust. Recently he arrived at San Diego,
CAL. having walked 1884 miles in that
time.
His prescription of fresh air, along
with the accompanying exercise, has
worked wonders, and his weight has
gone up fifteen pounds. It's all solid
bone and muscle, too, now.
S1ndt has become devotee Of walk
ing and has started out on new trip
to Washington. He pays his own way
and adopts none of the minor CRAFTS
usually employed by professional Pc
destrians. =
While on his long jaunt Sindt made
study of the effects of various foods,
and he has arrived at the conclusion
that the old fashioned staple-beans-
just about tops the list in the way of
affording nutriment. He drinks great
deal Of water every day. He sleeps in
the open air most Of the time.
Sindt has averaged 1873 miles every
day since he started on his health
pilgrimage. ,..x

NO DETAILS OF FlGHING

Sounds Of Engagement Are Heard at
Headquarters OF General Pershing,
but No Report Has Been Made as
to the Result.
Camp of General J. J. Pershing at

encountered a fleeing force of Villa
men and sounds of firing have been
heard from that direction, but no re-
port has been made to headquarters
as to the result.
The mountains of Guerrero are be-
ing combed thoroughly for Francisco
Villa by the American forces, but
nothing has been learned as to his
whereabouts other than that captur-
ed bandits said he was being carried
farther into the mountains in his
jolting coach.
General Pershing announced that
troops Of the infantry are to be used
for mountain climbing in the search
for Villa, cooperating with the caval-
rymen, who have borne the brunt of
the five days pursuit of the broken
bandit. The infantrymen have been
going through hardening preparations
in hill climbing marches for about two
weeks and their officers say they are
in excellent physical trim.

ly after he had fed from it. It was
suspected that he might be hidden in
one of its huts and every precaution
was taken to effect the capture. Two
squadrons Of cavalry entered the vii
lage from opposite sides simultane-
ously. Every preparation had been
made for an engagement, which failed
to develop.
There have been minor skirmishes
in the vicinity of the village, two
scouts reporting that they encounter
ed two Villa men on it's outskirts and
fought for five minutes without cas-
ualties.
American air scouts are flying over
the entire Villa territory and are car
rying dispatches from the front to the
field base and field headquarters. Mo-
tor trucks also have been able to pene-
trate the mountain waste almost as
far as the territory occupied by the
cavalry under Colonel George A. Dodd

presidents, although vice presidents
have far less responsibility, but spend
much more time in Washington social
life than the presidents. 1t is also sug-
gested by the fact that the civil war
period, with its greater weight of re-
sponsibility but more simple living.
showed a lower mortality than the Pc
RODS preceding and following, with
less weight of responsibility but less
simple living"
Professor Fisher said that historically
there has been progressive decrease
In those causes Of death consisting of
infections which kill their victims
chiefly at the earlier ages, but pro-
gressive change for the worse in those
causes Of death consisting Of the wear
and tear diseases or degenerative dis
the later years.
"These opposite changes" Professor
Fisher says, lin the infectious and de-
generative diseases would explain the
improvement in mortality at the earlier
ages and, on the other hand, the non
improvement and. in the case Of Yale
graduates, even positive retrogression
in the mortality Of the older ages.
Again, they would explain the marked
exceptionally Of the older ages in the
civil war period. For if it was plain
living which explained the low NOR
tally of that period we should expect
the more marked influence Of that fac
tor to appear just as it does, at the
older ages at which the wear and tear
mortality is chiefly registered.
'"The damage to vitality which we
find in public life is not, therefore, put
forward as an argument against enter
Ing public service, nor will a knowl-
edge of the facts probably tend in that
direction, certainly not among those
who place public interests above per-
sonal interests, as every public man
should. But knowledge is power, and
a knowledge Of the facts should enable
US to protect our public men or enable
them to protect themselves and to do
so in the public interest. THIS can be
accomplished by better general health
conditions in the country and its cap
ital, by better health customs and hab-
Its, by better ideals and by more sys-
tematic application of the perfect ideals
already existing"
In connection with tue lives Of the
presidents of the United States. Pro.
lessor Fisher says:
"The longevity of each president is
reckoned from the date Of inaugura-
tion-that is, from the time Of his first
being president. Thus Washington be-
came president at the age of fifty
seven, when the. expectation of life,
according to the American experience
table, was sixteen years. He actually
lived, however, only eleven years in.

REPORTS SIGNS OF UNREST
Admiral Winslow Sends MESSAGE t
Navy Department.

Washington, April 4.-The day
brought no news to the war depart
ment about the hunt for Villa.
Hope for early capture of Villa still
prevails in official quarters, but some
of the seasoned army campaigners
fear that failure to take him at Guer-
zero may result in long chase.
Admiral Winslow, reporting to the
navy department on conditions along
the West Mexican coast, said that, al
though the situation at present was
quiet there were signs of unrest among
the natives, particularly in the vicin-
ity of Guaymas and Topolobampo.
