The arrival in France of a

How To Live To Be Old

DR.. Frank Crane has taken {,
report on l07 cases of Englisl,
men and women who lived to a
great age, as printed in the Brit.
ish Health Review, and made
the following deductions:
There were few bachelors OF
old maids in the lot.
Most all of the persons ex.
amined had spent much of their
time out of doors. The house,
the close room, is the chief OF
life shorteners.
VERY few INDUCED, or had
habitually indulged, in stimu-
lants, such as alcohol, tobacco,
tea, and coffee.
"They used very little medi-
cine.
Most were of cheerful habit,
worried little. and laughed a
great deal.
Most of them including the
wealthy, had worked all their
lives, and most of them had con-
tlnued their activities even in adj
vanced years. A tavorite form
of suicide among folks past fifty
is to stop work.
Scarcely any of them were
tat. Few lieshy people grow
very old.
They were nearly all great
SleepeIs. They went to bed
early and rose early.
"hll were careful and moder-
ate eaters. TO eat what you
like and all you like mdy be a
merry life, but il will be short
one. Very few ate much meat
Most ate il spLringly; many not
at all.
Almost all were large drink
ers of water, but not mineral
water.
Most Of them were great
readers, especially in later life"

the telegraph poles looked like a

More About Flies

Southern Ruralist
One of the greatest menaces
of the country is the pest of flies
Ii the average realized the posi-.
bilities Of disease and disaster
that lurked in the fly a grea,
crusade would be made against
them.
Flies breed in filth. The fe.
male lays her egg IN manure OF
some other filthy material. In a
little while the egg matches and
before long the adult fly emerges.
Ii feeds while on the material
in which it breeds and then flies
away to the kitchen or table to
partake of the food prepared for
the family. Not content with
this, the pest makes frequent ex
curslons to the places where
filth accumulateS and so scatters
fresh material in places where it
should not be.
Flies are great carriers OF ty-
phoid fever and other diseases
that attack man. Many or the
intestinal troubles of the babies
during the summer are thought
to be occasioned by the contain
inations of food, milk and bottles
by flies.
TO protect from these pests all
breeding places should be care
fully watched and, where posi-
bic, protected. All outhouscs
should not be exposed, but the
sanitary clubhouse should be used
on every farm. Those interest
ed in this type of clubhouse
would bo well TO send TO the
Department of Agriculture in
Washington, D. c., and request
a copy of the farmers Bulletin
on the Sanitary privy. All houses
should be screened to keep the
flies out. If screens can moi be
purchased, the fly wire NAV be
had and tackled over the win
dowS and home made door fix
ed for the doors. In some coun.
try homes mosquito netting is
used over the windows.

Germany To Pass Dyestuff
Supply

Washington, April 20.-Ger
many has agreed to permit ex
portation to the United States of
$4,000 tons of dyestuffs, lack of
which has seriously affected
American textile manufacturers.
Notification to this effect was
contained in a note delivered to
Secretary Lansing today by
Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador.
The communication explains
that while Germany refused at
first to permit expectation of
dyestuffs unless they be exchang-
ed for American goods excluded
from Germany bv the British
blockade. after careful consider
alton of the situation it has been
seen that this blockade has re-
suited IN serious embarrassment
to those American industries
which are in need of dyestuffs, i"
and the imperial German gov
ernment now is prepared to
make Single exception" in per
mitting expectation in this
instance. 1t is required only
that the dyestuffs shall be con
sumed by American manufac-
turers and not reexported to
Great Britain or her allies.

Advertise These Things In Your
Local Paper

Farmers, heretofore, have net
advertised much, but they coulI
do so 10 an advantage. Men in
business far less competitivr
than farming find it profitable to
advertise. Of course there arc
many staple farm products
which could not be advertised
profitably. But there are othe1s
which would pay we'll as re-
suit of systematic advertising.
Many products go to waste
which could be sold if the COZ
sumner knew that they were
available. Livestock, poultry,
and poultry products, butter,
milk, wood, fruits, vegetables
home cured meats, cameo
goods, seed corn, velvet beans,
cowpeas, peanuts, and a hun
dred other things lend them
selves to advertising. The To-
cal paper goes to every corner
OF the county and to various
sections OF adjoining counties.
This is the range of territory in
which profitable marketing can
be done from the farm. The
farmer who advertises such pro.
duce as that previously mention.
ed will have no trouble in find
ing buyers in his locality. The
home paper is the best medium
for advising consumers that this
produce is for sale.

Smoking Stunts the Growth of
Boys

Whatever difference of opin-
ion there may be about the adj
visibility of smoking for men,
there is none as to its pernicious
effect upon boys. 1t affects the
action of the heart and reduces
the capacity of the lungs.
Young men who are being train
ed for athletics are not permit
ted TO smoke by their trainers
because, as they say, 1T is bad
tor the wind" The argument
that will appeal most forcibly to
your boy is that smoking will
stunt his growth. 1t has been
proved that youthful smokers
are shorter and weigh less than
their comrades who do not
smoke. Cigarettes are particu.
larly injurious. Nicotine, the
active principle of tobacco, is
said by chemists to be, next to
prussic acid, the most rapidly IA
tai poison known. The tender
tissues of a growing boy cannot
absorb even a very small quanti-
ty of it without most Injurious
results.-Ladies Home Journal.

Ultimatum Sent to Germany


Washington, April 19.-Presi.
dent Wilson's long expected fl
nal warning to Germany that the
United States will break off dip.
lomatic relations unless she
abaudons her present method of
submarine warfare and immedi-
ately declares her intention to
do so, was delivered today in a
note to Berlin and was announc-
ed hy the president IN an address
to Joint session of congress.
The president demands nothing
less than the abandonment of
submarine warfare against COM
merce.
Both the presidents address
and the American note declare
in unequivocal terms that only
by Germany acceding to the de-
mand can the breaking off of re.
lations be prevented.
The president considers that
the next step depends solely up
on Germany and that three or
four days constitute a reasonable
time for reply. He is willing
to discuss how submarine war
fare may be conducted within
the limits of international law
and humanity after Germany
abandons her present methods.
Diplomatic history records
only one instance as yet where a
breaking of relations between
two first class powers has not
eventually brought war-that
which now exists between Ger
many and Italy.
Congress received the presi-
dents declaration of his course
with mixed evidences of con
cern and appreciation. Most of
the leaders, Democrat and Re-
publican, thought the president
hardly could do less and some
expressed the opinion that his
action would not lead to war.
Republican Leader Mann
alone of all the opposition lead
ers openly attacked the presi
dent for his stand. He character
lied ii as political play.
President Wilson's words
leave no opportunity for mis-
understanding. In his address
to congress he said:
Il have deemed it my duty to
say to the imperial German gov
ernment that if it is still its pur-
pose to prosecute relentless and
indiscriminate warfare the gov
eminent of the United States is
at last forced to the conclusion
that there is but one course il
can pursue; and that unless the
imperial German government
should now, Immediately, de
clare and effect an abandonment
OF its present methods of war
fare against passenger and freight
CARRYING vessels this govern.
ment can have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations alto
gether."
