Old people THINK they arc worn
out because OF age, and they feel
that way. This is all wrong. One
OF our leading doctors says that
looking and feeling old is due to
lack of Iron and Phosphates In the
blood and nerves. When people are
young, they have good supply. AS

Life, like every other blessing, derives its
value from it's use alone-Samuel Johnson
THE ENGLISH MANNER.

During his visit to the United States John
Galsworthy discussed the difference between
the Englishman and the American. he main
tanned that in character they had much III COM
mon, and that cit is manner rather than matter
+ which divides the hearts of American and
Briton.''
In this remark Mr. Galsworthy, writer
whose seriousness suggests. contempt for
hu1nor enormously supposed to characterize the
average Englishman, there is great deal Of
truth In our republic we have every kind Of
national type In England the people are
mainly of one blood, and the traditions which
have come down through the centuries remain
unbroken. AS Mr.. Galsworthy puts the case
with an originality of expression which shows
him to be a master of the language "demeanor
becomes crystalized for lack of contrasts, and
manner gets set like a plaster cast"
And yet this English manner is of compare
lively recent growth. 1t is a manner which
scarcely existed in the days Of Queen Elizabeth
or of Henry the eighth There was Gallo
smack in the licentious speech Of Charles the
seconds reign, as may be seen by a perusal OF
the comedies of his day. Self-consciousness
was absent from the English manner whef in
answer to a request Of the inhabitants Of Nir-
cinia for a bishop to take care OF their souls,
the answer sent from the cold country was
ssDamn your souls Grow tobacco!'
We now find the typical English manner to
be based upon the determination never to ex-
hibit emotion. From an English standpoint
at least before the war-it was 'bad FORM to
get excited about anything The familiar
American advice sometimes aggressively given,
''Don't get excitedn' is not needed by the
Briton The English manner is code made up
of negatives. It's gospel is: Don't do anything
singular"
The Englshman disparages his own country.
lie grumbles at everything; but if England is
attacked by foreign invader, then his deeds
seem to contradict his words. He arms for his
beloved lands defense. He goes out if need
be, to die for her. Thus, in commercial phrase
ology, he never puts his best goods in the win
dow. One must know him we'll to discover what
is precious among his possessions.
Americans should understand Englishmen

HELPS THE INFLUENZA SCARE.

pes Moines Capital: The Capital
has attempted to avoid any undue
''scare-head" publicity concerning the
influenza situation in some of the
cities in the United States. We have
been moved to this action by the
opinion that influenza Is largely
sentimental disease and superinduced
by fear engendered by widespread
publicity concerning the disease.
Inc London Standard makes the
statement that most medical men are
agreed that seyenty-fye per cent. Of
the cases of influenza they have at
tended recently have been directly
induced by fear. A doctor who was
asked what chiefly caused this fear.
answered at once that 1t was the
alarmist section of the press.
|, The best way to avoid these cpl
denies" he said, lis to keep the con-
seriousness OF their existence out OF
your mind; but it takes a very
strongly controlled person to do that
when half the newspapers are devot-
ing columns to the influenza peril
NOR bidly defining symptoms and sug-
costing safeguards. Every time a
man reads of he raVages OF influenza
he unconsciously adds to his store
Iof fear of the disease Fear lowers
the resistance against 1t as much as
poor probably more. II
you ignore Influenza. influenza will
usually ignore you
The fact that fear induces disease
lis a scientific fact and not crank
ism. If you read an amusing story
you laugh. and your system responds
to the action of the mind; il you read
anything depressing, your mind and
body suffer depression; il you read
of exciting adventures your heart
beats more quickly and your breath
comes nore rapidly, and SO on. If
you read about influenza morning,
noon and night, your mind and body,
unless specially trained, become
affected.
psychology is coming to be more
and more recognized by scientists In
its relation to disease, and we ven
tuFe to say that If the psychology OF
disease were more generally under
stood, many of the doctors would
have to find new profession.

FILLING THE CHURCHES.

There is a reason for everything, an explain
alton for every condition., a cure, if it can be
found, for ever situation which is less than
ideal This is a world in which effect follows
cause That is the one law in nature OF which
we are positively sure, having never yet been
able to find solitary exception to the rule,
There is reason why the moving picture
theaters are filled on many hours OF every day
and why the churches, save In exceptional CIR
oumstances, are not filled on the one hour OF the
one day when people are invited and urged TO
come To discover the reason OF this and the
remedy for it is now the chief pressing concern
of the church-all churches, every church. Fer
vent pastors, earnest laymen are wrestling with
this problem, giving their best thought TO IT,
and may solve it in time. For the church IS the
most important civilizing agency in the world
of today and must reassert herself and regain
her recognized leading position in human at
fairs if mankind is not to retrogress
Speaking broadly the picture theaters are
filled because they give the people what they
want. and the churches are untitled because they
do not give the people what they want. This
is elementary knowledge, evident to everybody
But when it comes to the question what the
churches can, consistently with their mission,
give to the people which the people want, opn-
ions differ and no one seems sure. The world
gives many things which the church cannot;
and when people turn to the church it Is Tor
things that are not to be elsewhere gained. The
church can give truth. This is really its stock
in trade, its legitimate and exclusive line. 1t
could give such comprehension OF the scheme
of human evolution as shall satisfy the mind
and soul; and this knowledge will give men
courage to meet the thronging ills OF life and
fight the battle nobly to the end. For life is a
battle ground on which the overcomer wins his
accolade. There is no doubt of that.

HOW TO KEEP AGE-LINES
AND WRINKLES AWAY

Don't forget that the woman who
smiles will have a skin more free
from wrinkles than the woman who
frowns. When wrinkles begin to APP
pear it is a good plan to battle the
face once day for awhile in a harm
less solution made by dissolying an
ounce of powdered saxolite IN O half
pint OF witch hazel.
This is remarkably effective in
erasing the hateful lines, not only
because of It's astringent action which
tightens the skin and thus irons out
the lines, but also because of help
full tonic effect which improves capil-
larry circulation and nerve tone There
is nothing better for f1abby cheeks
or chin. Be sure to ask the druggist
for the powdered saxolite.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE oNe WINTER TRAIL.

Ho there's ice the there's zest in the air.
There's an undefled blanket of snow everywhere;
There's frost each twig, and each roadside weed
Is burdened with rubies and diamonds for seed,
through the long stretches OF deep forest lanes
A tense white crystalline silence re1gns
So come with me hill, over vale!
Come away with me the long winter tral
Ho the storm clouds tumbling thick in the sky.
F1inging their pellets of sleet as they fly!
The snow wreaths slithering swift in the road,
The hoary old wind from the north is abroad!
Out Of the arctic waste, barren and vast,
Rushing with fury-a terrible bast
Come along with now-push into the gale!
Come along with me O the long winter trail!
Oh there's beauty in the soft, rounded lines
the moulded hills and the feecy crowned pines;
There's music in the squeak of the snow,
And the gurge of streams they hurry below
Their blankets of ice And there's joy in the fight,
matching strength with the storm monarehs might
There's health in the open-hearty and hale!
Ho! Come with the long winter trail.

SCHOOL AND SHOPS.

s'The great alliance for good and the world
il coming between school and shop" says Fed
eral Commissioner of Education ClaSton. Just
such alliance is being furthered to particular
advantage by the plan inaugurated by the Mas
sschusetts Institute of Technology which was
commented on by The Gate City some weeks
ago. Now public announcement OF the git OF
eleven million dollars to this institution by
hitherto unnamed donor stimulates interest III
its future. The plan to put the facilities OF Lhe
institute its faculty, it's laboratories, It's means
of investigation both at home and abroad OF
means and methods Of practical eflclency, at
the disposal of great industries for Zee PAID
annually will be, it is hoped, great success.
In a large way the plan becomes more uni
versally significant. When ouT schools become
allies in everyday work with our shops, when
by education our work is made economical OF
man power, saving Of waste, given to con-
scripting scientific knowledge to the solving OF
all mechanical problems, then the thought OF
industry is set toward education as its cher
ally, and education once in process will not stop
at mere mechanics; it will function to put all
work on higher level By this is meant no
ssupliftn futility. Workers-and this means
practically the whole nation-wiH not by the
alliance of school and shop be paternalized into
thinkers; they will be themselves the moulders
of education since the reaction OF the shop on
the school by It's assertion Of practical require
ments, by its demand for growing opportun-
ties to know and do, by its myriad viewpoints,
will be as strong as the direct Influence OF the
school on the shop Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology is school Of particularly advan-
tageous opportunity to pioneer toward this al
.liance. but it's example will be followed. All
our hi CHER schools are devoted to the idea OF
becoming more useful to the publc the public
is at work and education is seeking it as its
work.
