those who were in attendance, as

AS the Editor Sees It.

Doing the Don'ts" Is a fast
grown habit with the American
people-aud, incidentally, with
the other and lesser peoples of
the earth. In many instances It
has assumed the proportions of
a popular fad.
Don't do this, don't do that,
don't do something discovery
where We turn there is a constant
ly increasing array of 'don'ts. "
Congress and our legislatures
spread voluminous don'ts upon
the statute books; municipal
bodies jump into the ring with
their quota; preachers hurl them
at as from the pulpit; editors
shrek them through their coll
umns, and from the time we are
babes in arms our good mothers
pour a constant stream of don'ts
into our ears.
Every day, every place, every
hour, it is don't, don't, don't!
And just as religiously as we
are admouished to don't" the
perversity of human nature inn
pels us to do"
The small boy who is told not
to touch the jam on the top shelf
in the pantry will climb upon a
chair and hook it at the first OPP
portuuity.
The coy maiden who is told not
to trifle with the affections of
susceptible youths will have a
dozen of them trailing along be-
hind.
We are admonished to be cir.
cumspect regarding a certain law,
and it Immediately becomes a boz
gy and we violate it in secret.
"Don'ts" to the normal mind
are like a red rag in the face of
a mad bull-we are ready to
charge it with heads down and
snorts of contempt.
In fact, the greater our degree
of intelligence the more restless
we become under restraint. 1t
is.irksome, CALLING, and our every
inclination is to throw it off. We
rely upon our own conception of
the fitness of things to designate
right from wrong.
True, we may respect certain
of the don'ts that policy requires
that we observe, but it is often
with a secret feeling of chagrin
and resentment.
Every year our legislatures
pass numbers of avs that fall in
10 disuse and are kicked into the
discard simply because the people
refuse to don't, and promptly pro-
coed to do.
In fact, we began life by doing
the don'ts, and we continue as
we began to the day of our death.

EATING TO LIVE.
Rules by Which Good Health May Be
Gained and Retained.

Herewith give few general sug-
gestions for those who desire health,
writes Edward B. Warman, A. NJ, In
the Nautilus:
No one can have health who eats too
much.
No one can have health who eats
100 often,
No one can have health who eats
too many kinds of food at the same
meal.
No one can have health who eats
when tired. hurried, worried, anxious
or excited.
No one can have health who rises
late, gulps down a hearty breakfast
and then sprints for the car.
When you have eaten do not wonder
If 1t will agree with you. When you be-
gin to wonder trouble begins. Say
goodby to 1t, not expecting to hear
from 1t again. If you fear II do not
eat 1t; II you eat it do not fear It.
Be cheerful at your meals. A sour
countenance will give you a sour stom-
hch.
Praise your wife's cooking-if you
can conscientiously
II you go home with crouch leave
IL out of doors. where the dog will get
it-then shoot the dog.
The majority of people do not know
how to live until they are ready TO die
and then they are not ready 10 die be-
cause they have not rightly lived.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

II is impossible to consider the Maine

the state in a larger circle OF activity +;
- in so far as that is concerned 1t was
a state affair pure and simple, with the
voters going about to select servants TO
do their work during the next term OF
office. But the close proximity OF ma
tional election inevitably worked pow
erful influence on the minds OF the cleo
,o-ste of the state, and, in addition
there was a deliberate attempt to inject
national issues into the discussions dur
ing the weeks Just preceding the election
There was the deliberate effort to build
nm a defense for the Democratic admin
istration now in power in Washington a
aid IN the bolstering UP Of that party
in the more local contest; and on th'
other hand. there was an equally deiih
crate effort to tear down the present al
ministration and to build up the Repuo
lican party in nation IS well a. state
Both sides made tacit admission that th'
election would swing on the national Is

Of the candidates for the various offices
