of judging the future but by the
- past. Pat formulated a good rule; it
was good then, it is still good today.
You can follow this deduction furth-
er; a good rule to work by in formu-
lating your judgment as to what Is
good for you may be determined in
studying what has been good for
others.
If a $15OOO0 Community House is
to be built in Medina, which is de-
sired by men and women who have
given the subject study, it will be
necessary to solidify the whole finan-
cial ability of the community. If this
can be accomplished the task will be
easy. Can this be done? 1t can if
the full benefits that will accrue can
be visualized to all the men and
women who have wealth.
The writer ran into seven men Sat
urday who were hobbling about with
their canes, making a poor mess of
their moving facilities, and accom-
plshing little in getting about. They
were not old men,were men of means,
but when age had crept on apace they
just naturally gave up, conceded de-
feat to rheumatism or old age, and
did not try to shake off their debility
and to come off conqueror over what
ever was affecting them.
What would these men give to be
as active as they were in their young
er years, think you? Would they
subscribe to an institution that would
bring them returning health, at. a
small weekly cost; and would they
subscribe literally? There are no
people that so fully appreciate health
as those who, having once had it, in
some way loose it. And every one
of these men are fit subjects for local
aid, and few months of rightly di-
rected aid would make new men of
them.
But these men must be shown;
they must be convinced. This done
every one of them would subscribe
and urge their friends to do the same.
And with that spirit running through
the whole population of the city will
give US the necessary funds for the
coveted Community House.
Sundays Plain Dealer told a story
tina should be of interest to all so
afflicted and to all interested in the
new Community House as well. It
had to do with the life history of
President Clemenceau of France; his
present health and his condition 18
years ago. He is known as Frances
"iron PREMIER" he is 80 years of age,
and during the four years of the world
war he performed physical and po-
htical tasks that would have killed
many younger men than he. How did
he do it?
When he visited a noted Paris
specialist he found him mental and
physical wreck" as the doctor ex-
presses it. Clemenceau admitted to
the doctor that he was past fixing up
but wanted few weeks on stimu-
lants to complete some tasks on which
he was engaged. This specialist put
him at daily tasks of physical cul-
ture-which the new Community
House will provide for old and young
alike, regardless of sex. At the same
time he prescribed baths and water
exercises to go with the purely ply
sical, which will too be provided in
the new structure. There two were
followed by proper methods of feed
ing and in other ways nourishing.
Clemenceau had the will power to
follow the doctors prescription. lie
got well and during the world war
showed the greatest vigor and ability
of his whole career; and vigor and
ability that have made him the won
der of the world.
In connection with the new project
in Medina it is purposed to provide
means in connection with the gym and
the baths that will make it easy for
those who wish physical benefits to
get them-to make it play rather than
work to regain ones health. It will
be possible for men and women in ad-
vanced life, who have run on ahead of
their physical powers, to so aid their
physical powers that they may re-
cuperate and overtake the personal
ity that has gone on ahead.
Clemenceau regained his health
through physical and mental activ-
tiles with ony half the aids that will
be provided in the new Community
House. This will mean that twice as
great results can be expected in Me-
dina as were attained in the case Of
Clemenceau, as great in half the time
it took in the "iron premier's" case.
1t is a guarantee that hundreds of
men and women in Medina will be
made new, and hundreds more who
have not shown the creepings on of
age will be able to so rejuvenate
themselves that age will "have moth
ing on them" for several decades yet.
And the joys and pleasures that
will come to the young people will
be in no way minimized by the great
good that will come to the elder gen.
GRAFTON. There will be an abundance
for all, and the charges can be made
SO small that the old injunction to
"come and buy without money and
without price" will not be far from
the Gods truth.
