THE spoREr OF A LONG LIFE.

Do you want to live to pass the
century mark? If so. there are
many systems which pretend to offer
to their adherents the boon Of long
life, but the one which has best stood
the test of tinne and experience is
that of Luigi Corn4ro, a sixteenth CEN
tury Venetian who has been the in
spiration of thousands Of men and
women. Perhaps the most distin-
guished of Cornaro's twentieth cen
fury disciples is Thomas A Edison,
who has repeatedly stated that he ex-
poets to live to be a hundred ans a
reward for his adherence to the regI-
men Of the famous Italian. The
great inventor had several ancestors
who followed the Cornaro plan and
reaped the reward Of q. long and hap
py life.
IF community should stop short
and follow the teachings of Cornaro,''
said Edison on one occasion, there
is no reason why the life of the COM
ing people should not reach $50
years. @
It was just three and a half oen-
turtles ago today that Luigi Cornaro
died at his home in Padua. Italy, April
26, 1865. He was only 1O3 years
old at the time of his death, but in
taking off he explained that, while he
did not expect to live long after pass
ing the century mark, his untine1y
end would be due to the fact that he
was born with a poor constitution"
and had abused himself in many wayS
in the first 40 years of his life
Cornaro's wife, who survived him
a short time, was also well past the
century mark when she died. Their
only child, a. daughter, was born
when both were past 40, yet they 1iv-
ed to see her the mother of IL chill
dren. Several of Cornaro's descen-
dants adopted his doctrines, and Ifv-
ed to be almost or quite 100 years
DID, while those who did not prac-
tice what their ilIustrious ancestor
had preached were comparatively
short-Ifved.
Cornaro came of a, wealthy family,
and in his young manhood indulged
himself in all the 1uxuries and vices
common to that era. AS result, he
found himself a physical wreck at 40,
and seemingly about to die of a COM
plication of ailments. 1t was then
that he determined to attempt to pro-
long his years by adopting a temper
te and orderly mode of living. This
he did, and at the age of Sc he wrote
the first of those pamphlets on lon
gevity which have been so widely
translated and read.
His first step was to conf1ne him
self to the simplest and most easily
digested of foods. and to take these
only in small quantities. AT the end
Of a year he was rid of the ailments
which had threatened his life. After

public knows what the different col
ored placards signify and are parti-
cularly partial to the white pIacard

score card system similar to that US
ed in grading diaries. The inspector
scores each store where foodstuffs
are sold according to certain points
indicated on an inspection card. The
scores are made public, through the
local press or by means of bulletins
or circulars.

British Patrol On rs
Gulf Coast Active

Mobile, Ala, april 26.@The British
patrol is showing considerable activ-
ity along the gulf coast. Yesterday
British cruiser halted an American
schooner and later overhauled a Brit
ish steamship.
The American schooner Kimban was
stopped last night by the cruiser. When
it was learned that the Kfmban was
bound for Santo Domingo with lurn-
Der the British officers were satisfied
and signa1led the vessel to pass on.
Later, in the guise Of a merchant
vessel, the cruiser overhauled the
British steamship Longscar. After
playing it's lights on the merchant
ship, the object of the cruiser asked
the ships destination, where she came
from and how many British subjects
she had on board. Being satisfied,
the cruiser allowed the vessel to pass
and itself disappeared.

that he began to experiment with
various foods, and quickly discovered
that the palate is a poor guide. Many
foods which tasted good were resent
ed by his stomach. Gradually he
eliminated from his diet everything
that disagreed with him. He chewed
his food thoroughly, and always made
it a point to leave the table before
hisc appetite was quite satisfied.
Fresh air and mild exercise were
important features of his system. He
avoided extremes of heat and cold,
never permitted himself to become
excessively fatigued, and had regular
hours for sleep.
In reply to those who scored at his
theories, and who stood >for "a short
life and a merry one,'' Cornaro said,
simply and convineingly:
ST never realized the world was SO
beautiful until I reached old age.''

Paris Tailors Revive
Mems Styles of 1880

Paris, April 26-The Partisan press
has characterized as undesirable
new styles IN mems clothing that
have recently appeared. and which,
with the sanction of the Master Tail
ors' Association of Paris. threatened
to become common.
ssThe new garment is imposed by
the new epoch about to open,'' say the
master tailors Something easy and
graceful, and yet sober and elegant as
are ali things French, but bearing
the stamp of the epoch of viri1ity that
is coming To I'LL that need the
taiIors have revived the old frock
coat of 1880, tight at the waist with
full plated skirts and wide long lapels
with conspicuous points; overcoats to
be of the same lines.
In this garment as prescribed by
the Parisiap tailors, a man appears to
be wearing corset and from a dis
tance might bee COMPOUNDED with a
ballet dancer, yet the tailors say that
it was only after mature reflection and
conclusive trials that the "commis-
sion of styles found this garment
most likely to harmonic with the
new epoch.
They explained that the costume
must be completed by harmonious ac-
cessories, one of which is a. hat with a.
brbad rolling rim and well archeds on
the sides, still further recalling the
romantic style OF the days Of Alfred de
Adusset
There is considerable resistance to
this new movement on the part of
those who contend that when the SOL
diers come back they should not find
the civilians they left at home COW
cred with ridicule.
The master taiIorS stand their
ground, hoskever, and declare that the
day is past for the stiff English styles.
The women are said to be pleased, the
men mostly tirnid or distrustful.
Critics of the style have delivered
a severe blow by giving prominence
to the fact that the ROMANTIC style of
1880 can be worn with grace only by
slight figures with slanting shoulders,
long necks, straight carriage and well
shaped legs, for with the frock of 1880
the trousers must be very tight, but
not yet strapped under the feet.
The hair must be worn long and
parted on the side. Full boards will
come into fashion with this style. it
is said, and will be either trimmed to
a point, cut square or fried and
spread advantageously over the expan-
sive shirt front which the new style
provides.
Where the beard is not SO long as
to hide it. the cravat will be worn in
the shape of a butterfly knot, and will
be made of satin. The accessories
provide for this new style extend even
to an ivory headed cane.

HARTFORD ROSE
GARDENS DRAW
WARM PRAISES

Il =
In these warm spring days when all
who can afford it are putting flowers
la window boxes or stirring earth in
tiny suburban gardens, there is a trip
wish all owners and borrowers fof
motor cars would make. writes Isaac
Russell in the New York Mail:
This trip would lead the motofist
up to Hartford, Conn, where there is
a rose garden the like OF which ex-
lists nowhere else, suspect, in Amer
lea If motorists from this town would
stop at the Hartford rose garden they
would find there other motorists from
Massachusetts, and Maine and New
Hampshire and Vermont. There would
even be some from New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
The rose garden in Hartford that
has become famous all over the east
wonderful person who ever took hold
OF a park problem and saw it all the
way through.
George A Parker, the rose garden
er, is also the superintendent OF the
Hartford park system He has held
that position for the past sixteen
years. The people of Hartford flock
TO his parks until the parks have be-
come part OF their daily lives. A few
days ago in Hartford every other per
son met who was OF school age
was headed, tennis racquet in hand for
one of Mr. Parker's remarkably well
used parks.
1t was while following the player
folk that I came upon the rose gar
den and the motorists from all parts
of New England.
What is it that makes the people
come in here to learn about roses ?''
asked Mr.. Parker who is a. gentle
superintendent
ST don't know he answered. 81
think it is because they want to know
what kind of roses will grow best
and look most beautiful in New Eng
Hand. You see, we try all kinds here.
This is an experiment station"
Order Roses BY Nanae Now.
I asked about some of the results
OF the experiments in rose culture. Mr..
Parker explained that one Of the re-
suits was that people in Hartford had
abandoned the o1d-time idea of buy
ing roses by color. Instead of ask
ing merely for red roses or yellow
roses or pink roses, they were able
now to ask for roses by the scientific
name of each rose bush.
And then they were prepared, also,
to ask the department. to- sell them
some Of the best soil in the world for
growing the varieties of roses that
looked best to them. And the de-
paxtment, having a deep concern for
every PERSONS love IOE AOWCES, neA0
the soil for sale at cost.
That was the effect on Hartford
TO stimulate rose culture in every part
of the city. On the motorists the
effect was to equip each one with
visual demonstration of what was
finest in the way of roses and with
Information as to how best to tend and
care for that particular kind of rose.
The influence of the Hartford parks
thus travels up and down the automo-
bile highway OF all parts of the coun-
try There is much for every New
York rose lover to learn from Hart
ford, and one item is that folks up
th@re can gather IN the Hartford rose
bowers FOR rest and refrigeration and
can walk where they win over the

HOG RAISERS HAVE:
INTERESTING MEET

\ very interesting and profitable
meeting of the newly formed swine
raisers association was held yester-
day afternoon at the Board of Trade
rooms. at which time there were
about Is or 80 members present
1t was announced at this time that
one of the big packing houses in
Los Angeles had made an offer to
the association to take all of the
shipments at an advance Of about
ten cents per cwt over and above
the local markets. and this matter is
| being given the consideration of the
organization.
A. R. Cater. local representative
Of the Southern Pacific railroad, was
present and addressed the assemblage
on the subject of fast freight ship
| ments OF live stock between this
| city and the coast cities. He stated
| that in the near future. his road ex-
! pected to run a fast cattle train to
| Los Angeles from the valley. and so
| licited the trade of the organiza-
| ton. This arrangement will cause
| the shipping time of live stock loads
! to be reduced to something like
| twenty four hours to the coast
points If the association decides to
ship their hogs in one parcel. it is
| probable that a whole stock train
will be chartered at convenient in
| terValS.
number of informal discussions
| took place on subjects of interests to
| the body and Colonel =. J. Durbin
| who is going into the hog business
| on large scale here, told of his
experiences in the hog raising line.
| The association will probably open
permanent offices in the Phoenix Ma
tional Bank building in the near flu
ture, and have a man in charge OF
the place during business hours each
day. The office will be maintained
in part by the Cattle Growers AS

AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH
SHIPMENTS Of NECESSITIES

ing between South America and the
United States. Shippers here predict
that such action would have a dis
astrous effect on this trade.
Ship owners in England and neu-
trail shippers regard the new born
energy of the government with mis-
givings, as requsitioned wheat ships
are receiving only - shillings. com
pared with the normal rate Of Il
shiIlings.
The action of the government is
considered as significant corrobora-
ton of news already received by
charterers that the government in
tends to make full use Of its un-
doubted power to control completely
the British mercantile marine The
assertion of such power means the
inevitable injury of foreign ira ders
who depend largely on British ships
for the carrying of goods
For example. it is reported on the
Baltic shipping exchange, that the
American coffee trade. which is
largely dependent on British ships.
will be vitality injured by any con
siderable withdrawal of these YES
sells, for sufficient ships to take
their place do not exist
Other trades with South and Cen
trail American ports also will suffer
great damage if the requisitioning
plan is extended to British ships
ira ding between foreign ports
