HOW WTOKEEP
YOUNG
Noted Physician and Writer Says We
Should Live From 90 to los
Yeau Of Age

pr. Josiah Oldfield of London, known
internationally as physician and a
writer, has published a prescription for
keeping old age at bay.
According to him. it is not ques-
tion of an operation, but daily diet,
which includes dandelion leaves. fowls
eggs grapes, lettuce, cows milk, water
cresn. honey and salads (uncooked).
"Old age" he says. sis largely
caused by deposit in the blood YES
sells and cells of the body of waste
matter. So by adopting part fruitar-
ian diet man, however old. may be-
come young again, because every cell
In the body will be replaced by new
young cells"
Doctor Oldfield argues that normal
persons, rightly fed, should live from
ninety to one hundred and five years
of age.

Miss Adriana Halstead. elderly and
somewhat neglected by her only rela-

glad little cry when she saw her
older nephew in her door that evening.
Delmar felt n little prick of conscience
as he kissed her. For few moments
the little woman fluttered about him
happily, then set about preparing the
evening meal she insisted he must
share. While she was out of the room
Delmar accidentally dropped his foun.

The words ended here. The writer
had evidently crumpled the paper and
thrown 1t In the basket when she
heard his ring.
When Delmar went home he walked
by the corner and looked at the blue
suit. Twenty-Five dollars represented
an engagement ring II Iva Ellsworth
would accept 1t. Iva lived with her
cousins In the next state and was used
to luxury. and his bookkeeper's salary
was only S75 month. but Delmar had

The italian and Spanish ''casa," the
German "haus" and the Russian
"doma" all refer to building of some

English word. The German "heim" is
too general to have any particular

Gulf Stream Increases in
Volume of Heat En- Route

The gulf stream would be little felt
on the coast of Europe did 1t not re-
ceive great addition to Its volume
of heat when en- route. This is by
means of a gentle flow from the
northeast trade wind current that
passes outside the Caribbean islands
and the Bahamas. The surface tenn
perature of this outside current is
about the same in its passage along
the West Indian islands as the gulf
stream In the Straits of Florida, but
1t is less violent In its movements and
there is less intermingling of its up

SILVER TEA NETTED
 GOOD SUM FOR ORPHANS

The "silver tea" which was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Tom Hubbert proved most suc- cessful affair. The display of flags of our allied nations was very appro- priate as we'll as artistic. Potted plants and real, honest, blooming white Narcissus were the decorations. The most generous sum of $34.5O was realized, and the ladies of the union wish to thank the public for their generous offerings, for this money is to be applied to the keeping of the needy orphans in France.
 The women who are interested in this noble cause are much elated over the genuine interest that has been manifested by certain hard-working miner at Kennecott, whom Rev. MT. Shr1ver interested while on one of his missionary trips in 1917. This true Samaritan at that time gave $36.50 for one years adoption of 2 French orphan. At that time he was desirous that the officials in charge in the East should apply the money towards. the benefit of an orphan girl His idea thus was that he hoped in the future to have this little girl brought overseas to his mother in Mis- souri, to comfort and cheer her in her declining years, now about 80. But the ruling powers destined to give him boy. Since his first appropriation of $36.5O this man with a big heart has sent about s75 cash and numerous souvenirs to this same little fellow, and when in town the other day, upon learning of the proposed benefit to be held at Mrs. Hubbert's, gave S6.5O

FATE OF LORD
 KITCHENER IS ESTABLISHED

LONDON, Jan. Correspondence of the Associated Press) Lord Kitch- ener and his staff did not even reach the deck of the British cruiser Hamp- shire after she struck a mine off the coast of Scotland one stormy night in June, 1916. according to warrant officer who has just told the story of the sinking to correspondent of the Manchester Guardian.
 Questions concerning the sinking of the Hampshire have been asked in parliament because of the persistent rumor that the vessel had been sunk by submarine and that Lord Kitch- ener had been carried off prisoner to Germany. No detailed statement, however. has ever been officially given out. The name of the officer who now tells the story has not been disclosed. 4
 Four days after the Jutland battle, according to the officer, tho Hamp- shire took Lord Kitchener aboard, on June 5. and set out with about 800 persons on board in "the foulest weather known in that region," She was escorted by two destroyers, who were unable to face the storm and re- turned to port. Everything on board tho Hampshire was lashed down, and only one hatchway was left open.
 About 8 o'clock in the evening the ship was shaken by a terrible explo- sicn, and the crew scrambled for the deck Officers quickly took their

posts, but their orders could not be heard because of tho raging storm and tho terrific sound of escaping steam. Immediately after the explosion there was another, and all lights went out, which added to the confusion.
 The officer, with Q companion, cut the lashings of life raft, it being i'm possible to launch the boats in the terrific sea, and the raft was slipped over the side. It turned upside down, but finally righted and he with others found themselves afloat. Almost i'm mediately the ship went down, not more than five minutes after the first explosion.
