LIVED LONG ON FRUGAL DIET
EngIshman Who Died In 1880 Proved
That 1t Was Possible to Exc
Out Existence cheaply.

Thomas f. CURLY, the champion
eater of Massachusetts, declared that
dyspepsia is the result of eating too
little, and not too much. His Sunday
dinner consisted of thirteen Holsters,
sixty eggs, and one hundred oysters,
At the other end of the scale must be
placed old Roger Crab, the first vege-
tartan, who died September H. 1850,
after proving that man could live
on 70 cents year. Originally hab-
erdasher in a big way Of business at
Chesham, England, free liver and
drinker Of strong ales, he got re
ligion" dyspepsia-in middle life,
sold his stock, gave the proceeds TO the
poor and took to living in a hut on
three-farthlngs week. Instead OF
"strong drinks and Wines he says IN
his autobiography, 81 give the old
mamie lived two centuries too soon
to call 1t Little Mary'-"a cup of
water; and, instead of roast mutton,
rabbit with bran, and pudding made
with bran and turnip-leaves chopped
together" And on this diet he lived to
a ripe old age, surviving repeated
cudgelngs and Imprisonment for
witchcraft.

broken by eerie sounds, apparently

Father and Daughter
Get Relief by Eatonic

r. ]. Powell, Sweetwater, Texas,
says, "Eatonic helped me at once,
but 1t was my daughter who got the
marvellous benefits. She could not
even take a drink OF water without
awful misery, but 1t relieved her; she
Is feeling much better. All this from
one box, so send me four more at
once"
Hundreds of people now take
eatonic; one or two tablets after each
meal keeps them in good health,
feeling fine, full Of pep. Eatonic
simply takes up the excess acldity
and poisons and carries them right out
of the system. OF course, when the
cause Of the misery Is removed, the
sufferer cannot help but get well.
You will find It quick, sure relief
for heartburn. indigestion, sour, acid,
gassy, bloated stomach. 1t costs but

you. If you don't feel well, you give

LINKS WITH HISTORIC PAST
Interesting TO Trace the Names of
Streets and Lanes in City of
Boston Today.

The names of the streets and lanes
of Boston are closely linked with the
historic past Others there are which
could be connected with Boston only
such as fremont street, corruption
of "Trl-mountain," by which name
Boston was known TO the early set
tiers on account of the three high hills
that serve as a background to the pen
insula. This replaced the name
"Shawmut,' given to 1t by the Indians
Mary Harrod Northend writes in the
Century Magazine that the streets of
this quaint city in the East We're laid
out by straying cattle.
After the Revolution the names Of
many Boston streets were changed.
Queen street became Court street, and
King street the State street of today
School street took It's name from a
school that was erected there. Dark
alleys. leading off the principal streets
on every side, We're named after path
ways, usually depending on where they
led to. Creek lane originally led to the
old creek. 1t was in tavern days that
this was the center of stage-coach
life. The old custom house once stood
on Flag alley Corn court took its
name from the fact that the corn mar
ket was at one time situated there,
Summer street was once know as "Sev-
en- Star Lane" 1t is now one of Bos-
tons busiest streets.

The Horse Of ThlrtY.Five.

Study Of the relation between the to-
tai length Of life and the time required
10 reach maturity has brought out an
interesting comparison between men
and horses. A horse at five years old
Is said to be, comparatively, as old as "a
man at twenty, and doubtless may be
expected TO behave, according to
equine standards. after the manner Of
the average college student following
human standards A ten-yeorold
horse resembles, 50 far as age and cX-
perience 80, man Of forty, while a
horse that has attained the ripe age Of
thirty.five is comparable with man Of

French munitions for Poland. Several
French ships were anchored outside
the port with war supplies for the
Poles, but Tower said he had not suf-
ficient allied troops to preserve order
If more munitions were unloaded
there. The French government for
mally protested against his ruling.
In south Russia General Wrangel
continued his gains against the soviet
army, and In Moscow Leon Trotzky
issued a call for volunteers for serv-
ice on the southern front He de-
nounced France for recognizing and
aiding Wrangel and accused England
Of also giving help, directly and indi-
rectly. The anti-bolshevik leader is
said TO have the support of the entire
population in the south, for he is CIV
ing the land to the peasants, and he
has been Joined by many Cossacks.
Though Lloyd George asserts that
Great Britain has not helped and will
not help Wrangel, the recognition of
the general by France has not yet
brought about the breach between the
two countries that was predicted by
alarmist correspondents and hopeful
Germans.

suffrage forces, changing his vote ia
the affirmative in order to move Il re-
consideration.
But the women must still win In
projected litigation by the enemies
Of suffrage, designed to attack the le-
gality of the Tennessee ratification.
In the state constitution there is
clause which says:
mo convention or general assembly
of this state shall act upon any
amendment of the constitution of the
United States proposed by congress
to the several states unless such con-
vention or general assembly shall have
been elected after such amendment is
submitted"
The present legislature was elected
in November, 1918, and the suffrage
amendment was not submitted TO the
state until months afterwards. The
Supreme courts decision in the at
tempt last spring to overturn the Ohio
legislatures action on the dry amend
ment is taken as an indication that
the action of the Tennessee legisla-
ture will stand.
Leaders of both the Republican and
Democratic parties claimed to see in
the suffrage victory an advantage for
for their respective tickets In the pres
idential campaign. The women who
have been conducting the fight thanked
both Senator Harding and Governor
Cox for their help. Secretary Of State
Colby was prepared to promulgate the
amendment as soon as the action Of the
Tennessee assembly was confirmed.
The North Carolina house of repre-
sentatiyes defeated the ratification of
the suffrage amendment by a vote Of
II to Al.

The wages of soft coal miners in the
central competitive field again were
put up to President Wilson. The joint
scale conference Of operators and min
ers at Cleveland spent five days in
fruitless discussion and the workers
sent word to the president that the
conference which was called by him,
was unable to adjust inequalities in
pay. The operators wanted to ask
Mr.. Wilson to appoint board Of in

refused 10 join in the request. The
men ask that the wages of day work
ers be advanced $3.50 day Though

Armistice negotiations between the
Poles and the Russians opened in
Mnsk, and the latter set forth the
terms they were willing to grant. 1t
may well be that these will be modi-
fed by the military operations Of the
week. According TO Wigdor Kopp,
who is in Berlin for the soviet govern
ment, the latter in its dealings with
Poland and the allies will insist on d.
rect communication with the Baltic,
probably by way of Bialystok, and
will demand that Poland give Russia
the right to transport goods direct to
and from Germany. He says the boil
sheviki are determined TO restore eco
nomic relations with Germany. In
this he has the support of Felix
Deutsch, head of the great electrical
manufacturing company of Germany,
who asserts that Russia's immense
supplies of raw material must be
brought to the worlds markets, that
Russia must be developed immediate
", and that Germany is best equipped
for that work Deutsch ridicules the
danger of the spread of bolsheyism
outside of Russia, which does not ac-
cord with the official German view,
often expressed when Berlin urges
that the allies permit the organization
of a stronger German army.
