VOLCANO CASTS UP
MANY BROILED FISH

There is a volcanic peak in the
South American Andes that serves
broiled fish for breakfast. Not infre-
quently they also are on the bill of
fare for luncheon and dinner as we'll.
This peak is called the Tungurahua,
and is regarded as a special instru-
ment of the gods by Indians living in
the vicinity.
They believe that when an eruption
takes place, running their crops and
perhaps sweeping away their homes,
the mystic spirit of the Tunguarhua
provides the broiled fish so that they
will not want. But the scientific ex-
PLANTATION is somewhat different.
Far underneath the mouth of the
volcano is a subterranean lake. When
the volcano begins to spout flame and
lava the suction draws up tons OF
water, carrying along the fish, which
are cooked by the inferno they pass
through. After an eruption the In
dams find thousands of the fish in
the ashes and lava from the volcano,
and many of these are just crisp
enough for a dainty breakfast.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-In a statement today President Wilson reiterated his previous declaration that he believed the German American citizens of the United States were loyal to the flag and the land of their adoption.

MIDDLE AGE is BEST PERIOD
Man Need Not Be Too Old at Forty
If He Will Make Himself More
Useful as He Grows Older.

Tto old at forty! That is wall
that always goes up throughout the
country. But writer in the Ameri-
can Magazine says it could be disre-
garded if people made themselves
more useful as they grew older. He
writes:
For man to be too old at forty is
not natural. Scientists tell us that
the life periods Of man compare with
the life history of the race.
I'm most businesses and profess
sions the period of mature manhood
is commonly the period Of great skill.
The body still retains It's elasticity !;
previous training and acquired good
habits count in daily work; expert
ence now begins to return dividends.
The individual develops common
sense, conservation and deliberation.
He is less likely to be swayed by the
primitive emotions of younger life.
Well-laid plans mature; returns from
previous investments in time, labor
and money begin to come in.
but it is during this period that
the competition of newer workers In
the same field begins to be felt. The
apprentices in the trades, and stu
dents in the schools begin to get a
foothold in competition with the es-
tabliShed worker. And-what Is Of
vital importance-the beginner is will
ing to work much cheaper than the
experienced man. Tins eXDerience
must guard against the under-cut.
at is in this period that the great
est displacement occurs. The I'M
progressive. the dissipated, the timor-
Gus, are pushed aside to make room
for those having more enterprise"
