do, and are earnestly beut on doing
it. They will correct the views of
life that are likely to be entertained
by an old man or an old woman.
Don't worry. Things will go
wrong sometimes, from causes be-
yond the control of mortal man.
Troubles and griefs come. 1t is well
that they do. If they did not we
would all have the big-head and inn
agine ourselves "Napoleons of fin
ance" and all that sort of rot. If
you can straighten them out do so;
that is, work with brain and Drawn.

You have no time to waste in fret
ting. Worry kills. "A merry heart
doeth good like a medicine; but a
broken spirit drieth the bones" Keep
doing something. No one expects
a man over 10, or even over 60, to
do very much hard work, except as
stern necessity. The man who has
used his time wisely does not have
to; but the man who stops work al
together, who retires, very material
ly shortens his days. No matter
what the work is, so that it occupies
the attention and keeps the brain
busy. When the brain dies, the body
might just as well be dead. The
mere vegetable or animal existence is
not worth living. Mental activity is
essential to any life which is worth
living.
Take a cheerful view Of the
future. God is running this world,
and doing a far better job of it than
you could, If you have not made
your peace with your God, you have
missed the real meaning of this life
Don't miss the meaning of the little
of it that is left to you? Don't be
afraid of the agonies of death There
is no reason why it should not be as
easy to die as to be born. The com
ing in of a life and the going out OF
one both bring pain and anguish tC

except in cases of untimely death

A WHOLESOME PHILOSOPHY

lew years before his recent
OeS'n at a ripe old age, Uncle
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1918-01-04


Henry Wallace, the widely beloved
editor of Wallaces' Farmer, wrote
the following simple and excellent
advice on how to keep young. In
these days of stress and worry his
homely but wholesome philosophy of
life will be helpful to all who have
passed the meridian of age.
las your Uncle Henry has almost
reached the allotted span of life, and
feels pretty well, thank you, it may
not be amiss for him to suggest to
the rest of the "old buffers" how it
is possible to live as long as the Lord
lets you, and be reasonably comfort
able
First, don't eat too much. Why
do you want to load yourself up with
a lot of ancient blubber and go
wheeling around with it, to your
discomfort and the shortening of
your days? You don't want any
| thing over and above the food of sup
port-just enough to keep the ma
chine in good repair and furnish it
| the fuel needed to run on from day
to day. Excessive fat is disease, or
| rather the evidence OF disease. If
you are eating half as much as that
17-year-old grandson of yours, you
are eating quite too much. Remem-
! Der Solomon's Injunction: when
thou sittest to eat with a ruler, con-
slider diligently what is before thee;
and put a knife to thy throat, if
| thou be man given to appetite" 1t
| is quite possible that as many people
! dig their graves with their teeth as
| by looking upon the wine when it
is red.
In the morning, say your prayers,
and thus get all right with your God
Keep your bowels open and get all
right with yourself. Speak kind
words to your family and employees,
and thus get in the right relation
with the world
AT night, sleep. When you have
done your days work and said your
prayers, or rather prayed something
often quite different from saying
prayers), get in bed, and go to sleep.
Consider yourself as dead until morn
ing. What does a dead man want to
do with the frets and worries and
vexations of life? Sleep quite as
to when young. Eight are not too
many; but Sleep and don't let any
body or anything rob you of your
sleep. 1t is not an easy thing to do,
we admit. Possibly it can't always
be done, but if you don't do it, you
will shorten your days and impair
your usefulness. That machine,
combined mind and body, needs oil
ing and repairing and fixing up. We
should put it in the shop over night.
The Maker of it will fix it up for
you and give it to you in good order
in the morning, if you will let Him.
Next, don't spend too much of
your time with other old fellows.
Some have been unfortunate; some
are unhealthy; some are chronic
kickers anyhow. Don't stay too much
with grouchy crowd. Associate
with young people. Next to your
wife, sons and daughters are the best
associates you can have; next to
them, your grandchildren. Associate
with younger people, people who
have life before them, something to

UNITED WAR
WORK CAMPAIGN
$780, O,5OO,OO0.OO, or More, to
Be Raised Nov. 11-1S.

An intensive campaign is to be
waged throughout our nation
from November 18th to 18th, in
elusive, for the purpose of raising
funds for the seven agencies rec
ognized by the war department
as responsible for ministering to
the comfort and morale of the
American forces.
This is the largest contribution
ever asked of any people, the
Sl7O, $4,000 to be divided among
the following: Y. NJ. G. a., Y.
W. Z. A., War Camp Community
Service, American Library Asso-
citation, National Catholic War
Council, Jewish Welfare Board
and the Salvation Army.
Speakers are to visit every
neighborhood and it is hoped that
the message will reach every
home in our land, that the work
may be promptly and perfectly
accomplished.
President Wilson has made re-
quest that funds for these seven
organizations be solicited at one
and the same time so that the
public may not be distracted by
so many separate appeals, this
being the only call for the year
for any war benevolence outside
American Red Cross, which stands
in class to itself.
Our district, the ninth, has a
quota Of S53,400 and consists Of
the parishes of Washington, st.
Tammany, Tangipahoa and St.
Helena, all of which have been
thoroughly organized, with Hon.
W. H. Sullivan of Bogalusa, at
its head. The district and par
ish officers were listed in last

Organization
The United States department of
agriculture, in cooperation with state
agricultural colleges, has one of the
most extensive organizations ever DO
sessed by any country to put this cam
paign into effect. The horticulturists
employed in the department of agri-
culture have charge of the depart
ment's campaign. They represent both
the bureau of plant industry and the
States Relation service. In almost
every state there is a home-garden
specialist representing the extension
service of the college and the depart
ment. (In some states two or three
are employed). In addition to these
special men, the department of agri-
culture, in cooperation with the state
agricultural colleges, has a very large
force Of men and women at work in
the field, who will assist in the home.

garden campaign as a part of their
great campaign for food production.
There are at present 1920 county ag-
ricultural agents and their assistants,
trained in agriculture, who are active
ly engaged in the food production
campaign, including it's home garden
phase. There are also 1,196 county
home demonstration agents and 100
city home demonstration agents. All
these are highly trained and expert
enced men who are devoting some
time to the garden campaign, and who
will assist in teaching the canning of
the products during the summer and
fall.
Through the boys and girls agri-
cultural clubs organized in forty
eight states, huge army of farm
boys and girls is enlisted annually for
productive work. 1t is too early to es-
innate the number in these clubs.
Based on the increase already reportd
over last years. enrolment, the num-
Der of rural boys and girls in these
clubs will probably be more than two
million and half engaged in larger
productive enterprises, such as corn
clubs, gardening, and canning clubs,
pig clubs, etc. In addition to these, a
large number of home gardens were
produced by boys and girls and adults
in cities and towns last year and will
be enlisted by the department again
this year.
The state and county councils of
defense, state food administrators and
their county representatives are very
greatly interested in the garden cam
paign and are cooperating with the
department and the colleges in many
ways.
The bureau of education is enlist
ing the interest of teachers and other
school authorities to enroll school
children and give them leadership in
home or backyard gardening in
many larger cities and towns. These
will add materially to the huge garden
program of the department of agri-
culture.
The Boy Scouts of America, the Cir
Scouts and Campfire Girls, and the
Junior Red Cross are also organizing
for productive gardening or clut
work, and are correlating their work
with that of the department and the
colleges and receiving instruction
