That Mrs. English has been COM

shown in the attitude of Thomas Dunn

by a former wife. Mr.. English has Of

SIMPLE LIFE BEST

Yale Professor, After an Exhaustive
Study on Question of Vitality Of Our

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
ly 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 1000 MILES TO
REGAIN HIS HEALTH
When Doctors Seem to Be Giving Up
Hope He Handles Own Case and
Resorts to Walking.

Davenport, Ia.-Robert Sindt, thirty
five years old, was facing a physical
breakdown last fall. The doctors did
not hold out much hope for him. He
Is a pretty good sized man when In
robust health, but his weight had drop
ped to 1876 pounds.
"I'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 Au-
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.
Sindt 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 Slndt 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 1878 miles every
day since he started on his health
pilgrimage.

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 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 q pro-
gressive change for the worse in those
causes of death consisting of the wear
and tear diseases or degenerative dis
eases which kill their victims chiefly at
the later years.
"These opposite changes" Professor
Fisher says, Gin the infectious and de-
| generatiye 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
tality 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
q 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 the lives of the
presidents of the United States, Pro
| fessor Fisher says:
"The longevity of each president is
reckoned from the date of Inaugural
| 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
stead of the sixteen. John Adams, on
the other hand. lived after Inaugural
ton Twenty-Five years. which was two
and three times his expectation of thir.
teen years"
