The fellow who wears a path
from his work to his home will
soon wear himself out. These are
not the times of hundred years
ago, when life was more simple
and people had time to think. To
day we are going the pace that
kills in our chase for wealth, a
pace that taxes nature to the linn
it. We need more recreation,
more relaxation, more enjoyment
free from the cares of business,
for without these the pep of life
will become Slapped to the marrow
In our haste to accumulate
wealth we have acquired the hab-
it of leaving our community af-
fairs almost entirely to our cleo
tive officials, contenting our
selves with a perfunctory kick
when things do not go to suit us.
We should leave the beaten path
and take some of this RESPONSE
bility upon our own shoulders. 1T
would be good for the community
and even better for us.

AS TO HARVEST PRICES.

Past experience has taught
that much time and needless fric-
tion can be saved to farmers,
threshermen and harvest laborers
during the intensive harvest per-
iod by a general mutual under
standing as to prices, terms, wag-
es, etc, and the suggestion has
come from several interested
sources that meeting Of the par
ties concerned be had at the Fra
ternal Hall in Nezperce at an
early date to consider this impor-
tant matter. The Herald will be
glad to assist in giving notice Of
such a meeting and through any
other publicity desired

II seems best TO accept the most
reasonable explanation for the origin
Of the name Harper and TO assume
that the first to bear IL was distin-

harp. However It has been pointed
out that a harp was not unusual shop

may be from this sign.
The founder of the distinguished
Harper family OF this country was
James Harper. an ardent methodist.
a native Of England who came TO this
country in 174O and settled in New

Dying NATURALLY

BY DIR EUGENE LYMAN FISK,
Medical Director OF the Life Exten-
sion Institute.
NEW YORK. Dec. IAN emil
nent scientist has described death
as the end OF a chemical reaction"
And il is more or less from this cold
and dispassionate point OF view that
we must consider deaths problem
and the ways OF extending life. For
the laboratory has repeatedly DEM
onstraed that this chemical reaction
can be profoundly modified.
Two tadpoles OF the same age
were made the subject OF labora-
tory test. One was retarded in its
growth. The other was made TO
grow and develop the legs of a frog
with abnormal speed by injecting a
thyroid extract At the end Of a
given period, the one tadpole re-
mained unchanged. The other was
nearly frog. How "old" were the
tadpoles?
AS pointed out in my first ar
ticie. age is nothing but physical
state. And deah is rarely nat
irak" Man dies from accidents
from focal infections, from diet de-
ficiency. from abuse, and disuse'
Protected from these things, his
life would be measured in genera
tions.
As principle, this has been
proved In spectacular experiments
at the Rockefeller Institute. Secur-
ing the asceptic eggs Of the irui1
fly. for instance. DR.. Jacques Leon
subjected them to varying degrees
OF temperature, protected them
from accidents, poisons. ana star
vation, and extended their lie

II man could be treated In the
same way. DR.. Loeb has estimated
hat the subject could live to the
ripe old age OF 1900 years!
Such experiments have much
more significance than as mere
scientific curiousities. For they es-
tablish the important principle OF
the elasticity OF the life cycle
There is. moreover. ample testi-
mony for the principle outside the
laboratory's test-tubes. For in
long test with group OF 5000 men

tallty can be reduced by over one
half
Periodic physical examinations
for this group, begun back in 1914
at the Life Extension Institute at
the instigation Of a great life insur-
ance company, succeeded in reducing
deaths from the expected figure Of

was the result OF a six-year effort.

has been partially fulfilled already
by the latest mortality statistics.
There is no doubt that time will see
the prophecy surpassed.
There are certain perfectly simple
things which the genus homo must
do If 1t is to survive the test OF evo-
luton. and is to find the fruits of a
greater health span and a longer
life. These things involve no more
care or trouble than a stenographer
devotes to her typewriter. The lay
man need never trouble himself
about his hormones or his internal
secretory glands If only he would
follow certain proved rules leading
to longevity.
