Mhu pennIa Die EarIu-

High blood pressure belongs to a group of old age diseases-Bright's dis ease, arteriosclerOsis, heart failure, apoplexy and paralysis. People natu- rally die of them at seventy to eighty years of age. If they fall victims at an earlier age there is something wrong. What is wrong? Why do people die prematurely? I believe it is because we fail to search for and find the symp- toms of these organic diseases. There is no question at all that if we can dis cover the right agent to fight the toxins that live in the colon or large bowel the average man and woman should live to be at least a hundred. The American people are going to take death prevention more seriously than they do now. Some day when men and women die under fifty years of age & corOner's inquest will be called to de- termine the cause of their untimely demise-Dr. W. s. Sadler in Golfers Weekly.

THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
By Raymond cOmstOek Of "thO
 Vlallantes.

Americans have above many oth-
 or characteristics a reputation with
 other nations for their staying Qual- It1eB. Stick-to it t-1ve-ness Is the term that classes American 0ggreS-
 g1venesA. In or great industries, in
 the fields of invention. exploration, |,
 and construction, we have won by our indomitable stick-tO O-it-ive-ness . reputation that the world expects US to sustain.
 <, And in this great war for democ- Tacy, we face the hugest undertak- ing of our life as q nation. The American people from coast to coast chimed in lOy&lly at the first call for funds to support their nation in it's struggle with the German AutOcracy. The swamping over r-subscriptiOn was 0 soIaf-plexus blow to Prussianism. It speIt unity of purpose in & great nation, where German proPagaRdistS had declared unity did not exist. Germany gasped-and knew then that the American people, aB q people i'm divisible and strong, were in the war.
 But-thO first Liberty Loan was only Q beginning-was but the val 1ant clangoP of the Liberty Bell call- ing us to arise and defend America. 4 second great loan, n,-presumably Ghre0 billions this time,-and then . third. . fourth, and more will fol- low. They are tho fuel with which America can win this war. And eur reputation for stick-tO-it-ive-ness is ct stake. in the manner of our stand ing behind these loans.
 It is not . matter of surging gen. Orosity by indiMdualg. Nor is it . proposition alone of vast subscFIp- tionS by the very wealthy. The Sec- Ond Liberty Loan, and the third, and each succeeding one must b0 achieved by the consistent backing of all the citizens. We, each one of us, must face 1t @ an individual responsibility. The allowance for Liberty Loan sub Gcriptions should be as much an item of the regular family budget during the period of the war, as Is the al- lOwGnce. education, rent, or taxes in our homOB. For, without systematic, loyal, individual support by all tho CatiEans, tho war loans cannot suc- e0Od, and we arc likely to find our- selves without the homes to budget for.
 It matters not how great our con- tributlon of loved ones, or of per- Sonal services; to every citizen of the United States there is this oth- or duty which must be faced. Let uS plan now, therefore, to meet our obligation in War Loan No. 2. We can class the outlay under "Highsr Life" or aS "OverhOad." Unless we face the war loans as our individual we are likely to see the day when we yearn for both. The whole people of America is called upon to pay this systematic tax as called for. to the perpetuation of their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Welcoming the Actor.

A well known society performer vol unteered to entertain Q rOOmful of pa tients of the COlney Hatch Lunatic asy- lum and made up a very successful little monOlOgue show, entirely humOr- ous. The audience in the main gave symptoms of being slightly bored, but one highly intelligent maniac saw the thing in proper light and, clapping the talented actor on the shoulder, said:
 Glad you've come, old fellow. You and I will get along fine. The other dippies here are so dashed dignifed. What I say is if a man is mad he needn't put on airs about it."-LondOn Opinion.

Military Orders.

The story goes that a raw battalion of rough backwOOdsmen, who had "vOl- unteered," once joined General Grant. He admired their fine physique, but distrusted the capacity of their un- couth commander to handle troops promptly and efficiently in the field, so he said: Colonel, want to see your men at work. Call them to attention and order them to march with shoul- dered arms in close column to the left flank" Without moments hesitation the colonel yelled to Eis fellow ruff ans: Boys, look wild thar! Make ready to thicken and go left endways! Tote yer guns! Git!' The maneuver proved a brilliant success, and the self elected colonel was forthwith officially con- missiOned.-Manchester Guardian.

Oriain of "Hoooior. '''

While the derivation of the word In diana from Indian is apparent, the Ori- gin of the word HOOsier applied to an inhabitant of that state is not regard ed as entirely clear. The theory which has gained the greatest acceptance is that 1t received its present form from the vernacular rendering of the query, Who's yerT" instead of "WhO are yOu?" when a stranger appeared at the door of a frontier cabin. For a long time the word Hoosier was regarded as implying a reflection on the person to whom it applied, but of recent years it has found recognized place in good l1terature.-Brooklyn Standard Union.

 The directors of the Holland
 County Farm Bureau met in Memorial
 building, Rockville, on Saturday to
 hear the reports in relation to the
 financial campaign which has been
 wAged during the last two weeks. In
 order to obtain the county, state and
 federal funds, which were available
 for Farm Bureau work, it was neoes- sary to raise from outside sources at least $1, 900. Every town but one
 in the county reported, and the aggregate of money which had been received up to that date was $1, ,161, with several committeeman and other available sources not yet having made a report. It was voted to appoint a budget committee, consisting of O. L. Wright of Andover, A. H. Benton of Andover, Harrson Hamilton of Filing ton.

The financial requirements of the Government in carrying on the war will call for systematic saving in or der to buy bonds. Before July l. the Government will require SIS, = 900, GOO, 900. It must be raised either by selling bonds or by taxation. The necessity for saving to take these bonds is easily seen. Nor should any person be excused from the ob- hgation. It is not to be Q question of choice but of necessity. The Government can draft money as we'll as men if 1t has to, but if the people purchase Liberty Bonds it will not have to put taxes to the conscriptiOn Roint.

AMERICANS HIGHER PAID
Than English Sailors, According to Dr..
George S. Webster.

New York, March 2.-Higher wages
paid sailors on American as compared
to English merchant ships will handicap
this country at the close of the war in
its competition with England for com
mercial supremacy OF the seas, accord
ing to Dir. George Sidney Webster Of the
American Seamen's Friend society. DIR.
Webster's opinions are based on obser-
walton in number of American ports
and especially in the port of New York,
where large sailors home is maintained
on the North river waterfront.
"The increased merchant ships produc-
ton in this country says Dr. Webster,
will not of itself give the United States
a commercial supremacy of the seas, al
though in 1916 the output for probably
the first time in history approximated
that of Great Britain.
This increased production will not
entirely fly under the American flag but
even large percentage of the ships
which should be under American owner
ship will be under foreign registry at the
end of the war. when the protection al
forded by the American flag is no longer
necessary and the lower wages paid on
foreign ships will offer great induce
ment for foreign registry"

CHINESE AWAKENING
Against Bogus Insurance Companies
A Campaign Started

Shanghai China, March 2-Foreign
newspapers printed in Shanghai are con
Quoting an energetic campaign against
bogus insurance companies by the Chinese
government which will protect the public
against fraudulent institutions. While
there are many reliable Chinese insur-
ance companies, there are alse scores of
wild eat companies writing fire, life and
marine insurance
Shanghai newspapers are endeavoring
to get legislation through the municipal
council in this city which will prevent
companies of any nationality from writ
ing insurance in the international settle
ment unless the diplomatic body in Pc
king approves of their methods This
reform as advocated is the first step
towards national legislation in China,
which will protect foreigners and Chinese
alike from irresponsible insurance com
panies operating in any part OF the re-
public. 1t is urged that the municipal
council should take action here and af-
ford an example to the parliament, which
has been slow in effecting legislation.

KNOWN MORE
THAN A YEAR
United States Secret Service
Has Broken Up More
Than One
OF GERMAN PLOTS
AGAINST AMERICA
Huerta Conspiracy Is a Typ.
ical Example of This
Plotting

New York, March United States
secret service agents learned more than
, year ago of German operations in this
country and have broken up more than
one conspiracy to throw the United
States and Mexico into conflict
Franz Rintelen, friend of the German
crown prince, carried on an extensive plot
in this country, which wound up with the
arrest of Victoriano Huerta, former die
tator in Mexico, as he started for Mexico
to foment rebellion. He was to be
supplied with German arms, according to
charges at the time, and a credit sup
posed to have been near Sl0,000,000.
Capt Won Papen, former German mill
tary attache in the United States, was
recalled as a result of these plots.
Rintelen lived in New York as Hansen
He held various conferences with Won
Papen and Huerta
Huerta's arrest and subsequent inves-
legations by secret service agents led to
the fight from this country of Rintelen,
on fraudulent Swedish passport He
was apprehended in Great Britain and
now is held prisoner of war Huerts
died in prison without ever crossing the
boundary So far as known, he never
confessed the plot
