As to Remarkable Longevity.

We have all read of Thomas Parr' who lived to be one hundred and fifty two. Likewise of the countess of Des- mond, one hundred and forty.tre {; Margaret Pattpn, one hundred and thirty-seyen; Thomas Damme, one hundred aud siXty-four; John ROvin, one hundred and Sevcnty-two; aud Pe- ter Horton, who reached the age of one hundred anu eighty-aye. But these cases of extraordinary longevity lack proof.
 In the days when those persons lived no accurate chronological records were kept, and dates of occurrences were usually 1iXed by assOciating them in memory with other events believed to have happened about the same time, A mans identity was liable to be con- fused with that of q grandfather Ot the same name.
 Nowadays nobody lives to any sucE ages. Why imagine that the extreme limits of longevity have shrunk within the last two or three centuries?

THERE'S 4 JOB FOR EVERY MAN
 AND 4 MAN FOR EVERY JOB

There is work for every man in the United States who wants work, and there is worker for every joh Jo be filled, according to a state ment issued by the United States employment service, affiliated with The United States department of labor. In certain sections of the country there is an oyersupply of workers. while there are not enough workers to go around in otf er sections. The totals show that there is a job awaiting every man who is looking for work. Every in dustry, in time, can be filled prac- t.calIy Up 10 100 per cent. The thing is to get after the loafers who live. the Lord knows how, who never work, who represent a blot oa the thrift record of any community, says an exchange. Just now, while spring is on the wing, this army Of the idle will be seen on the city streets, in the city parks and squares. It will be interesting to watch how they are handled. If they are over the draft age they should be told that the nation de- mauds that they employ themselves in some way, and in the event of failure to secure work they should ag udae to move on.

THE LINCOLN STATUE
lDetroit Newsl

Detroit News)
 The Barnard Lincoln cont. .oversy a, last is ended.
 Comes from Chicago the an uouncement that the Augustus St. Gauders statue of the Great Eman- cipator, which for years has graced Lincoln park in Chicago, one of this countrys chief art treasures, is to go to London in place of the much citicized work of George Gray Barnard.
 The pedestal in Whitehall street that awaits the monument commem- orating the century of peace be- tween the United States and Great Britain is not to be topped by the awkward figure Of the gaunt cir cult riding lawyer of Sangamon county. limb and liIeament gnarled' by the rail splitting and savage ri gors of life on the frontier, de- Dicted by Barnard, but by that of the polished and proper gentle man of the last years in the White House, giving the lie eternaIly to the tradition that Abraham Lincoln was unpleasant to look upon.
 Barnard's statue was completed last year, and unveiled at Cincinnati. Immediately a storm of Vituperation outbroke. Lmcoln's own son pro tested against the statre as libel.
 Out of the settlement Of the controversy one thing is certain, and the Chicago dispatch puts it in the mouth of Lorado Taft, an- other sculptor:
 Ordinarily I would no more sanction the sending Of Americas Lincoln abroad than would favor putting up copy of the famous Caleoni statue Of Venice in New York, but war times have bound l us very close to our alIfes."
 Chicago will not lose it's Lincoln, as a replica will be made, but the !! will so k Engla1d:

CAMP COMMISSION
 WATCHES OVER GIRLS

Girls are being safeguarded as part of the work of the Commis- sion on Training Camp Activities. Much is being done through the section on detention homes and dorm1 tories and protec- tive work, and rp,is co-operates with other agencies.
 Speaking of the interest of the Government in welfare work, Dr. Katherine 3. Davis, director of the section on women's work of the Soc5ai R5geine Division, out lined model industrial school for girls.
 It should be an institute in which women take direct charge of the delinquent girls and where ade- quate treatment of diseases is pro vided. The Location should be i'll the country, if possible, where fresh air IS plentiful and outdoor work and recreation can be enjoyed. There should be provision for train ing along isadUstrial lines.. This training should be not necessarily a trade eduction but the kind of training in which hand and mind work together. Finally, there should be at least the elments of an English education for those girls who need it." k5t

III WERE A FARMER.

If were a farmer would keep at
hand a few reliable medicines for
minor ailments that are not so serious
as to require the attention of ply
stefan, such as Chamberlain's Collie
complaints.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds and Group. Z
Chamberlain's Liniment for sprains,
bruises and rheumatic pains.
Chamberlain's Tablets for stomach
troubles, biliousness and constipation.
BY having these articles at hand it
would often save the trouble of trip
to town in the busiest season or in the
night, and would enable me to treat
slight ailments as soon as they appear
and thereby avoid the more serious
disease that so often follows.-For
