Ifyou want to live beyond the years
of three -score-and-ten. take life easily
and. above all, don't worry" is the
advice OF Rt Rev. James F. Mackin,
pastor of st. Pauls Roman Catholic
Church. who is eighty-two and for
fifty-two years has been member
OF the priesthood.
'Take life as 1t comes" says Faith
er Mackin. "Never worry about any
thing. Take things as they are. try
to improve them II you can. but never
be perturbed over what happens in
your life. Because I never worry
may have something to do with the
number Of years / have remained on
this earth"
From a sailor roaming the Atlantic
ocean and cruising around tho seas Of
Europe, to the priesthood. is the
story "in a nutshell" of the life of
one of Washington's oldest pastors
And Father Mackin's memory has not
faded, for he can tell without hesi-
tation of the time he was shipwreck-
Cd on a coral reef In 1857 and rescued
some hours later by a British cruiser.
There are few people in Washing
ton who have not heard of Father
Mackin or his church at Fifteenth
and V streets northwest where for
more than thirty years he has served
as pastor. There are few people near
the church who do not know of Father
Mackin's hospitality.
From a small school house and
chapel on Fifteenth street, the begin
ming of st. Paurs Church, to a marble
structure with high steeples. is the
record Of growth of the church under
Eafher Macl<iD's guidance.
GIVES PLAYGROUND.
St. Paurs Church owns nearly a
quarter block of ground at Fifteenth
and v streets. For many years some
Of this ground was idle, but Father
Mackin did not let it remain idle.
Realizing the need for a recreation
center near his church. he loaned to
the District playground department
q piece of ground, and now the
rather Mackin playground" isone OF
the best known recreation centers
for children in Washington.
When Father Mackin graduated
from the Baltimore High School, in
the city of his birth. he little realized
that some years later he would join
the priesthood. He looked about, un-
decided what to make his life's voca-
tion. He always had had a desire to
go to sea, and several years after
graduation from high school he
shipped on the whaler Jamos Edward
from New Bedford, Mass.
For many months Father Mackin
Travelled over the Atlantic. Once,
while en- route to France, the James
Edward was cast upon a coral reef,
after battling a hurricane for several

CARROLL HELD
AS B|GAM|ST
Former D. C. Man pn Bail Here
Accused by New Jer.
sey Police.

Edward M. Carroll. former Wash
ington man. arrested recently on an
eleven year.old indictment by tho Dis
trict OF Columbia grand jury and held
for trial, Is now the central figure in
a mysterious bigamy case.
He was arrested for the second
time In Bloomfield, N. j., Monday. and
is being held for trial in Newark on
a 81. 900 bond.
Carroll is president of nine com
panies. and has recently been promot'
ing a $3.50, 900 omnibus corporation In
Bloomfield.
OLD CHARGE BROUGHT UP.
His former arrest led to the digging
up of a dusty fle In the District Su'
prema Court. which contained the In
dictment for misuse OF the United
States mails. in 1909.
At that time, according TO the files,
Carroll was secretary-treasurer OF the
Bank Depositors' Insurance Company.
The advertising matter circulated by
Carroll represented that the company
had a paid.up capital stock Of $1,000
900, which II 10 alleged WAS untrue.
The names OF q number OF prominent
men in Washington and elsewhere
were given III uiIcCtois VI tho Soh'-
pany. These men. II Is asserted, were
not directors.
Carroll declared that he did not
know OF the Washington indictment
until his arrest. He furnished $1,000
bonds to appear in Washington for
trial. The case Is expected to be
brought up in October.
The bigamy charge is brought by
Police Chief Collins of Bloomfield,
which is q suburb of Newark.
MYSTERY IN NEW CASE.
Considerable mystery attaches to
the case due to the fact that Mrs.
Carroll made no complaint and Is not
prosecuting the case. Carroll was
held in 81, 900 bond.
The detectives who arrested Carroll
say that he was married June 4, 1895,
to Edna Harper Peyton. now in Can
ada, and on August IL. 1916, to LII
lian Deuth, somewhere in New Jer-
sey.
Carrolls latest business adventure
is the Public Service Omnibus Com
pany, for which he inserted a half
page advertisement in some of last
New York papers, to sell
$3.50, 900 worth of stock. He owns a
number of bus lines. from New Bruins
wick to Highland Park. and from
Trenton to Asbury Park.
Among the nine companies, princi-
pally insurance and loan companies.
of which Carroll is head, are the New
Jersey Indemnity Company, and the
State Mutual and Liability Company.

 led that he and the prosecutor had

Meat forms uric acid which eXcites the kidneys. they become overworl.e2 from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste anG 0oi from the blood, then we get sia&. Nearly all rheumatism. headac-es 5, liver trouble, nerVousness, dizzincs3 sleeplessness and urinary disord rs come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel g dull ache in. the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, it'll of sediment, irregular of passaga or attended by sensation of scaldjng stop eating meat and get about jour ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in few days your kidneys will act fine.

Stehlin has flown over parts of France, Belgium, Spain, Russia, Po- States and has hopes soon of seeing Letvia and Riga from the air in his service with the Let's.
