Word '..Nothing" Defined
.rqz as Meaning Something

Words, says an authority, have an
elastic meaning, according to the sense
In which they are employed; much also
depending on how nothing" is de-
fined. AS sometimes used, nothing"
means something very insignificant,
but still something that really exists
For instance, you pick up an empty
bottle and say: There is nothing in
it"-but there is air in 1t. When a
person is taken Ill he may say: ut
is nothing but II may turn out to be
something that will result in his death.
Then again the expression, "He began
life. with nothing" means that he be-
gan with very little. II have done
nothing all day" means that I have
accomplished little, not that have
actually done nothing, for that would
be impossible. Such uses of words
are proper. according to common sense
as well as authority. Dryden wrote !:
"'Tis nothing, says the fool; but, says
the friend, this nothing, sir, will bring
you to your end.'

HOW TOKEEP
YOUNG
Noted Physician and Writer Ssys We
Should Live From 90 to los
Yesrs Of Age

DIR. Josiah Oldfield of London, known
internationally as a physician and
writer, has published prescription for
keeping old age at bay.
According to him, it is not ques-
ton Of an operation, but daily diet,
which includes dandelion leaves. fowls
eggs, grapes, lettuce, cows milk, water
cress, honey and salads (uncooked).
"Old age" he says, lis largely
caused by deposit in the blood ves-
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.

embodied the motifs of the "Marseil-

THOUGHTS OF WISE MEN


Discontents arise from our
desires oftener than from our
wants.
Getting on is largely a matter
Of getting up each time you are
knocked down.
Sorrow does not really change
people; II only develops what Is
already In them. That which
they bring to II they will reap
from 1t.
The mood In which we begin
a day makes Us a discordant
note or helps the harmony of
every circle In which we find
ourselves.

Now that the public schools of the

to direct the attention of all parents
to strictly caution their children of
the danger that turks about the
streets and roads through automobile
accidents. AS /children are wont to
do, they frequently engage in reck-
less play while going to and from
school, and as automobile traffic has
greatly increased during the past few
months, the little ones, as well as
the older folks, should maintain a
much sharper lookout. The high
school opened with 214 scholars, 35
more than attended school during the
past year.
