margin OF safety between the normal con.
dition and that point at which death oc-
ours.
1T is well known that a man builds I'D
ms physical strength by physical exercise.
IN other words the very process by which
man withdraws energy from his system
Is the process by which he builds I'D his
supply or energy to something greater
than ii was before. But 1t is ordin arily he
lived. and frequently stated, that under
any such process there soon comes time
az which no further exercise will develop
me powers further. That this is an error
may be shown by turning our attention to
cases in which experiments have been car.
RED further than with man. and ones in
which the records have a scientific accur-
acy not found in the training Of athletes.
TOT convenience we will begin with the
trotter. taking first tho case of the old
time champion, Flora Temple.
Flora Temple was trained and raced
every year from the age of seven to the
age OF fourteen, and she continued to gain
IN trotting power as she grew older
By exercising the powers she had Flora
Iemple acquired powers she did not have
before and powers which never existed in
any ancestor. BY her own efforts she &C.
Huired powers beyond her Inheritance be.
cause no previous horse was capable OF
trotting so fast as she trotted. and she
could not inherit from ancestors a power
which the ancestors did not have AS an
cleven-Yearold she trotted faster than any
previous horse had trotted. and as n four.
tcen.year-old she/ broke the worlds record
fcur times In succession. Whenever q
horse becomes champion trotter the fact
that he does become n champion Is Of itself
positive evidence that he has greater trot-
ting power than he inherited-greater
power than existed in any ancestor He
must acquire by his own efforts that which
he did not have, and that which never be-
fore existed.

those who have few is that longevity Is
some kind OF spontaneous generation
which arises out of nothing in some mys-
ter,ous manner. and is correlated with
fec indity which has no origin at all Also
That longevity is inherited. but fecundity
is not because IL is characteristic OF only
small part Of the daughters OF fecund
women. That there is no correlation be-
tween fecundity and longevity is made
evident by comparing rabbits with clc-
plants, or by comparing any animals
which differ much in fecundity or longev-
ity. Before a person can deny the validity
Of such comparisons for this purpose he

"The real reason why women who have

death as a result OF nothing else than his
own exertions. This means that death is
caused by withdrawing from the system
more than certain amount Of energy, and
that in turn means that life itself is n
form Of energy. We identify electricity
as being form Of energy, even though we
90 not know precisely what this form is.
In the same way we can identify life as
being form of energy. even though we
are unable to determine the essential ma
ture Of this form as distinguished from
other forms

be increased SO that there will be larger

furthermore, ,sne is necessarily active
IN caring for those children, am this ac-
tiVity continues year after year and builds
up her general health and physical powers.
That this kind Of effort and exercise is
natural and healthful will be evident from
the fact 1t is what characterized all of her
female ancestors in all ages of the past
II took about two hundred families OF
this kind and combined them into one
composite family of 1,105 children, and
found that the later children inherited the
power development acquired by the par
ents in producing the earlier ones ans.Saa
consequence the later ones lived longer
than the earlier ones. Put into figures, T.
found that as long as parents retained
their health, each four years added one
year to the life Of the children
For example. If children born when
the parents are twenty-four live to the,
average age Of sixty. then other children
porn to the same parents when at the aga
OF forty-four should live to an average age
OF sixty-five. The actual table Is as fol-

produced children. Both
OF her parents came from
mothers who produced
children. And all four OF
her grandparents came
from mothers who pro-
auced children. In fact. no
matter how far we may
go back, no person ever

any woman who goes
through life without pro-
ducing children leads an
unnatural life--a kind OF
life never led by any fc-
male ancestor.
The majority OF us are
children of parents who
produced fairly large fam
lilies. Our parents were
the offspring Of pare
who produced large fam
lilies. And our grandpar-
ents were members OF
large families. While this
is not literally true for
every family in every
pedigree. still IL is true
to such an extent that
when we extend pedigrees
back four or five genera
tons every one OF us
camo from families aver
aging six or more indi-
viduals for the entire lot.
Consequently, when any
person goes through life
without producing and
caring for more than four
children that person is
leading life which is
more or less abnormal i'm
that It Is unlike those led
by all Of his ancestors in
all OF the ages OF the past.
1T is frequently said
that women are worn out,
over-worked, exhausted,
etc, by producing many

is not true lin the
sense in which it is
made. The very women
who make that claim are

fact that woman who has had several

Ing up power is simply another way of
saying that the energy within the system

providing greater margin Of safety so
that death is pushed into more remote

St.ssrsent in Regard to Special
Freight Rates Which Clssed
February rs.

In August 1918 arrangements were
made with the railroad administrators
by the officials Of the U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the Exten-
sion Service Of the A. 4 NJ. College
of Texas, for the railroads to deliver
feed in carlot shipments for live stock
in the drouth stricken sections OF
Texas, under certain conditions, at
one-half regular freight rate from
point Of origin to destination. Since
the details for handling this matter
were left with the Extension depart
ment TO handle, the county agricul-
tural agents were authorized to issue
these certificates.
As this was great responsibility
on the part of the agent in determin-
ing as to who were entitled to these
rates. wish to express my apprecia-
ton 20 the stockmen and farmers who
have made application and received
benefit of these rates. for the cour-
tesy and assistance shown me in this
matter. In return tried to be cour-
teous, fair and prompt in issuing all
certificates.
The Railroad administrator admin
istered great favor to the Stock
men and farmers in allowing these
rates which has been great finan-
cial benefit to them.
The half-rate certificates which |
have issued to the ranchmen and far
mers amount to a saving to them Of
s31,500. This we consider TO be a
great saving to the feeders of this
county, and the farmer and ranchman
are expressing their highest praises
and appreciation to the agricultural
department for their service and in
fluence in the creation and mainte-
nance Of these rates

COMPROMISE REACHED ON

Austin. Texas. March The
question of the feeding Of prisoners
in Texas county jails ended in com

noon. The Hall bill was 80 amended
that il will not take effect until Dec

Barry Miller Of Dallas. He agreed 20

by Marvin II Brown. and voted FOR
the amended bill John +. Davis Of
Mesquite was one Of those 10 fight for
the passage Of the measure
Mr. Miller first moved to postpone
the bill indefinitely lie said he did
this to bring the discussion TO the
heart of the bill He explained that
the Legislature has adopted a joint
resolution proposing to abolish the
fee system by constitutional amend
ment and that the feeding Of prison
ers would soon be dead issue
Later Mr. Miller said that he faver-
ed the bill ms amended. as II permit

killed by Dec. |. Of next year
John f. Davis. j W Hall and r

floor Each called attention to the
enormous profits made by Sheriffs
from the feeding Of prisoners. Mr.
Vaughn cited a Houston newspaper
item, which showed that former
sheriff Of Harris county had profited
$4,000 from the feeding Of prison
ers through two terms.
The House adopted an amendment
by Ben l.. Cox, providing that Com

Sheriffs for money lost through the
loss Of feeding prisoners, up to the

At the early dawn Of March sth.

weary with a long journey who paus-

burdens.
In view Of this fact, we as mem

ton of his very remarkable life and
character
As a pioneer in Texas Methodism
he was eyer faithful and loyal to his
church. He was father not only to
his own bat to all who needed faith
er's care, supporter Of every good
movement, a devout lover Of our Lord
and a friend Of humanity, he was a
light in the world and a blessing to
all who knew him.
Therefore, be il resolved.
First, That we extend our heartfelt
