~ RANTING at the outset the debatable
y point that one should aspire to long
life-a life of a hundred years, or
even longer-we have interesting reports
| emanating from members of the American
Public Health association, notably one by
DIR. Stephen Smith, its founder, who will be
ninety-nine years old next February, and
thus is almost qualified to testify as an ex-
pert in the old question to the first hun
dred years of mans life being the tough
! est.
! DR.. Smith said the other day at public
| health exposition that he never smoked or
drank spirits or stimulants of any kind, nor
used tea or coffee or candy.
His recipe for long life is in two sections.
The first is:
work, and keep out of the easy chair"
I The second is:
Don't eat too much meat. Drink lots OF
milk Get plenty of sleep"
| This regimen is not out Of keeping with
the researches of DR.. Sadowein, of the Uni
versity of Kieff, who found a village in the
| mountains near Temir Khan Shura, in the
Republic of Daghestan, eighteen persons
more than 100 years of age in a total popula-
| ton of 100.
Inquiry into the dietetic habits of these
! elderly ladies and gentlemen disclosed the
fact that they lived exclusively on sour
| milk, cheese made from sleeps milk, and
white bread.
Also it appears that they never went to
movie, sat in a street car, or struggled with
telephone.
Dr. Smith takes the view that the strenu-
GUS city life does not initiate against Ion
gevity; in fact, he assumes it to be the bus
at man who lives longest, provided he gets
plenty of sleep.
If it is a matter of diet, one might rea-
| sonably choose city life as a mltlgant for
| subsistence on sour milk, cheese and bread,
on which not SO many people would care to
live 100 years or any considerable part
| thereof.
Yet in the well-recorded case of Thomas
Parr-"Old Parr," he was called-who
| achieved fame by living to be 152, and was
| so lively that in his hundredth year he was
! compelled to "do penance in winding-sheet
| for pranks and offenses,'' and at 100 was
able to put in a good days work threshing
reference is made to any dietetic precautions
or prescriptions, save only that he was
ready to discuss any kind of eatable that was
at hand" right lusty trencherman, pal
pably.
Still, he died from eft of Indigestion
| at the age CT 152, and his untimely taking
off might conceiVably have been postponed
until a ripe old age had he adhered to sour
milk and cheese.
! living-and in his prescription of activity DR..
Smith strikes a pleasing note, no matter
what you think of his restricted diet.
There is more to be done with life than
merely prolonging it, like Miss Muffet, with
curds and whey.

TUBERCULOSIS CURES-By Frederic j. Haskin

testimonials announcing absolute cures by
remedy ale often written a few weeks
after taking it-as the testimonial writer's
says in the history of his case. The associa-
ton collected testimonials and newspaper
death notices of people who wrote them. 1t
was a gruesome, but impressive collection.
1t showed articles carried by the newspapers
regarding the deaths of the same persons
who had shortly before announced in print
that they were cured. Around the words
the articles a heavy black line was drawn.
Some of the cures contain no actual
harmful ingredients. One we'll adver-
tised cure for various ills, including tuber-
culosis, was shown b. analysis to be sim
pie concoction Of sugar, salt and water.
Onions have been recommended by we'll
meaning laymen as a cure for consumption
and other foods have their sponsors.
The dang with these remedies is that
while they may not be harmful in themselves
they may keep the patient from taking the
proper treatment. And in tuberculosis ev-
cry days ad vice in the disease means a
harder light to regain health.
1t has been suggested by Swiss specialist
that there should be at least one clinic in d
country to protect the public against fake
remedies for tuberculosis. He proposes that
originators of new remedies should be re-
CURED to submit them to this scientific body
fol- official investigation. ANY useless
or harmful concoction would be refused ap-
prevail, and could not be placed on the mar
ket. This would, it is claimed protect thou

high sounding labels
In general, all doctors and associations
who work to prevent and cure tuberculosis
urge that no one should take any treat
ment for this disease without tie sanction

of our cities now there are clinics 77here per-

4 Striking Parallel

TT was on the slippery verge Of war that
Argentina and Chile, nineteen years
ago, entered into an agreement on the
limitation of naval ornaments, whereby
amity was restored and peace preserved I'M
broken to this high day.
GIN order to remove every source Of anx-
iety," the compact ran, "the Governments Of
Chile and the Argentine Republic desist from
completing the war vessels they have in
course of construction and from making fresh
acquisitions. Both Governments agree
further, to reduce their respective fleets, for
which purpose they will continue to negotiate
until they arrive at an understanding pro-
ductive of a discreet balance Of heir respect
i've naval forces" 1t was covenanted, more
over that during a period of five years
neither shoulA increase it's naval armament
without previous notification of eighteen
months; that the sales to which the agree
ment gave rise should not be made to any
country having differences pending with
either of the contracting parties" and that IN
all other matters pertinent he interests or
both should be mutually respected. In direct
ing attention to this timely historic parallel,
Mr.. F. Nieto del Rio Interestingly points out
that within twelvemOnth after the pact
was ratified, the people of Argentina and
Chile, "erected by popular subscription the
heroic statue of Christ the Redeemer, in the
most frequented pass of the Andes, as
symbol of peace and friendship
This armament limitation served not only
to avert immient war but also to engender
and preserve goodwill. For well-nigh two
decades these Latin-American neighbors have
dwelt together in concord, profiting each by
the others trade, strengthened each by the
others peaceableness, and spared expendi-
lures of millions of dollars which otherwise
would have gone into instruments of de-
struction at the cost Of economic and social
progress. Happy will the great nations Of
our era be if they arrive at similar agree
ment on the wafer scale # the Hughes pro-
posals-happy, and prosperous, and wise.

BY DOROTHY DIX

A voice is heard crying in the wilderness
warning against the danger of psychoanaly-
sis for women because, it is alleged, the fe-
male patient almost invariably falls in love
with the practitioner.
Naturally. Of course, inevitably. For if
there ever was anything that met a long-felt
want with women it is psychcanalysis, be-
cause it gives them an opportunity to talk
endlessly about their secret thoughts, and to
tear their emotions to tatters to somebody
who will listen to them, because he is paid
to listen.
The one sure road to a woman's heart has
always been through taking seriously what
she thinks she thinks. That is why preach
ers have always made such hit with the
fair sex. Other men have regarded women
as ornaments, as playthings, as servants, and
pitched their conversation on these planes,
but lergymen were bound to regard them as
reasonable and responsible human beings,
and to talk to them accordingly, and this
serious discourse has Invariably proved a
three-time winner.
keen about their souls is because they are
more or less of luxury to them. The So
called heather still deny women soul, and
even among Christians women were only ac-
corded the possession of souls by few
votes after long and acrimonious debate
on the subject in church council.
Be that as it may, the fact remains that a
Womans soul is the most interesting thing
on earth to her. Her favorite indoor sport
is vivisecting it, and she will fall in love with
practically any man who will assist her in
the operation
Men think that the thing that woman
likes to be praised for is her beauty, and so
when one wants to capture fair ones fancy
he tells her that her eyes are like vlolets
drenched in dew, that her hair is like mid
night or sunshine, as the case may be, and
that her figure has the little grace of a will
low wand, all of which is good as far as it
goes because any Saga that chants our
charms is music in our ears.
But this kind of praise is mild 2.75 tipple,
pleasant to the taste, but with no kick to
it, for every woman knows that every man
says the same thing to every female he
wishes to please. Moreover, every woman is
accustomed to having her looks praised. 1t
is old stuff, but the flattery that has the
punch to it, that is strong drink that goes
to her head and sweeps her off her feet is
when man talks to her about her real self,
and betrays an interest in knowing what she
really thinks and feels.
There are very few men who ever have
intelligence enough to find this out but the
few who do are 1ady-killers for fair 1t
doesn't make any difference how old they
are, how fat and bald-headed and bay-win-
dowed they are, or how long-haired, and
shabby, and unsuccessful they are, they have
a charm to conjure with that no woman can
resist.

HEDONISM
By H. Addington Bruce

tn HERE are numerous helpful hand
books on the art of talking. There
- is none, so far as [ am aware, on the
art of refraning from talking. Yet it IS
just as important to know when to be silent
as it is to know when and how to talk.
And there are many people who for their
ON good no less than the comfort of others,
would be greatly aided if handbooks on sill
ence were available to them.
have in mind, particularly, statesmen
who are so desperately anxious to make sales
tina; they tediously overfnsist on the merits
Of the article they are offering.
Sometimes people buy from them if only
to be rid of them. lore frequently their
supertalkativeness creates such a mood OF
opposition that no matter how good their
wares they remain unsold.
Then, too, there are statesmen who insist
on talking about matters irrelevant to the
business in hand.
They are perhaps jokesmiths who assume
that everybody must be interested in the
feeble witticisml that emanate from their
shallow minds. Or perhaps they have mania
for supplementing "sellins talks" with dis
QUESTIONS on baseball or politics or the lat
est local ''sensation.'
What they have to say may be entertain
ing enough, if said at the right time. But,
the course of the business day, with its urg-
ent personal problems. And the offendin-
statesmen are pena lied accordingly.
Even more grievously offensive are those
statesmen so wrapped in admiration of their
own voices that they cannot patiently keep
silence when their prospect" essays to do
some talking on his own account.
Repeatedly they interrupt him, with rude
ness of which they may be quite unconscious,
but which he is certain to resent. And not
infrequently it happens that their habit OF
interrupting is the factor which turns the
scales against them when the moment for
the decisive eyes or mo- arrives.
Statesmen, of course, are by no means the
only persons who should make real effort
to master the art of silence. Indeed, su n
mastery is requisite to all, from leaders in
statecraft to unsk1lled laborers, who have
dealings of any sort with their fellowmen.
''Not to speak, not to move,' as the wise
William James long ago pointed out, sis
one of the most ir- portant of our duties in
certain practical emergencies. Thou shalt re-
frain, renounce, abstain!"
To gain the needed mastery, self-study is
an indispensable preliminary. DO [ talk too
much? Do I talk out of place? Do l disre-
gard the right of others to talk? Such are
questions all may we'll put to themselves.
Also they are questions worthy of the
most honest, patient bordering. For they
may cut to the very root of ones failure to
progress in life as one had hoped and ex-
pected to progress. Self-interest consequent
ly requires that they be answered with the
utmost candor.
And if candor compels an affirmative
answer to each and every one of them, COM
mon sense should show the course to take.

woman's good time in the world de-
ponds pretty much upon the favor Of men.
AS a girl she must have beaux and dancing
partners. AS a woman 81 must marry. AS
a middle-aged woman she must be the sort
that men like to take in to dinner and find
congenial to talk to. 1t is very dull woman
who does not discover early in the day that
she must adal, herself to men, and not eX-
pect men to adapt themselves to her, unless
she wants to be wallflower as a girl and to
become a bachelor maid.
Also she discovers that if her conversation
is going to interest men it must be exclusive
ly about them and that she must put the
soft pedal goo and hard on her own ego
After they. have handed her few compll-
ments about her looks the talk fest must be
concentrated on their own hopes and aspira-
lions, and experiences. They haven't the
faintest interest in hers, and don't pretend
to have
And a womans husband is equally in
curious about what is going on in that never
| ceasing workshop under her marcelled hair
It's odd when you come to think of it, that
man never tries to find out how marriage,
and motherhood have reacted on the woman
at his side, or investigates what spiritual
changes are taking place in her as the years
go by.
I have talked this subject over with hun
dreds of married women and they all say the
same thing, that their husbands are satisfied
as long as their houses are well managed
and they are pleasant and amiable. The
husbands show no interest in their wives
souls.
Practical and sensible women accept this
as one of the dislluSiOns of matrimOny.
Weak and temperamental women make fools
of themselves over their clergymen or doc
tors, or create scandals by running off with
some rascal who will talk to them about their
emotions and in whom they think they have
found Soulmate.
All of which is a pity, and makes one won
der that men do not think it worth while to
recognize that woman cannot live by bread
alone. She must have spiritual sustenance
as we'll as bodily.
Certainly husbands would find the game of
psycoanalyzing their wives a novel and I
thrilling one, for it would surprise many a
| man to- find out what the woman who sits
| across the table from him three hundred and
sixty-five days a year really thinks and feels,
and in many case he would be amazed to
find out what her real opinion of him is.

THE FLAG OVER
EHRENBREITSTEIN
BY DR.. Frank Crane

I am sitting in the Coblenzdorf Hotel and
looking out of my window across the Rhine
and seeing the Stars ana Stripes flying over
MISUNDERSTANDING magnificent fortress of
Germany which compared with Englands Gil
traltar.
That flag in that place means a great
deal to the whole world, of which L have
spoken in other articles. But in this one I
would like to give you some idea Of what it
means to. the United States itself.
A delegation of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce was over in Europe not
long ago, and after inspecting conditions
generally and carefully studying the situa-
ton, they reported that
Sin every country visited the opinion was
expressed that neither Western nor Central
Europe can be restored to a condition that
promises hope and progress for the future
without our assistance"
There may be quite few Americans who
may say:
What of it? What have we to do with
Europe? Why not pull out and let them
settle their own affairs? Remember what
Washington said about European entangle-
ments!
Taking the last phrase first I might sug
gest to those whose ideas are not altogether
muddled that what Washington warned us
against was a passionate attachment to one
country against others, thus becoming en-
brOiled in European QuarrelS. But there is
little doubt that he would have hailed with
delight our entrance into some sort of solid
cooperation with all the nations of Europe,
in order to bring about the peace of the
world.
The Flag flying over Ehrenbreitstein
means that the United States has still left
some idea of it's duty toward mankind in
general.
But the point I wish to bring out is that
this Flag also stands for the way out of our
economic trouble and financial slump
The situation is very clear to any bust
ness man with vision
Our present condition Of unemployment
and depression is directly due to the fact that
we have no outside market for the surplus
goods we produce. We raise more wheat
and cotton and make more steel and copper
than we are able to consume at home, and
we cannot sell it abroad
View cannot sell it abroad because the
money Of the world is in chaos.
That chaos exists because of political I'M
rest everywhere.
That political unrest is due to hope of
breaking up the Treaty of Versailles.
That hope is fed by the fact that America
will not come in.
The world has not yet given up hope en-
tirely that America will join hands with the
other nations and SCI lie on some plan for
the peace of the world.
And the flag flying over Ehrenbreitstein
is the symbol of that last hope.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
By Helen Rowland

No doubt, when Rip Van Wrinkle awoke
from his little nap, he declared that he had
only been resting his eyes, and had
"heard every SINCE word that was said"
That placid look On mans face, when
his wife accuses him of something she has
discovered is not sign of conscious inno-
cence, but of selt-congratulation at the
thought of the things she DIDN'T discover.
Love is what makes a man appear bIissfully
ha y, when woman is mussing up the
precious Wisp of hair across his bald spot.
Love is what makes a woman laugh de-
ightedly, when man is telling her for the
second time, story which she knew by heart
before he told it to her the first time.
All this 'Fsex-antagonism" must have
started when Adam brought in the first rab-
bit and ordered Eve to make it into Chick
en-a-la-King.
The fascinating thing about psycho-an-
alysis is that it gives a woman chance to
sit and talk abo It herself, for hours and
hours. And if that isn't HEALING, what is?
Infatuation is like wine, which goes to
mans head, robs him of his senses, and fills
him with dizziness; real love is like relig-
ion, which goes 20 his heart, robs him of
his egotism, and fills him with wonder and
humility.
No matter how young, how old, how bald,
how fat, how insignificant or how funny
man may be, he is always somebody's
darling!"

NIGHT FLOWERS

So, oft a sudden sweetness here
Breathes through our pilgrims gloom,
And we too know that somewhere near

r man, not infrequently says clever
things because they are clever. OF
course Mr.. Shaw must have his little shot,
or shots, at the disarmament conference.
Mr.. Shaw writes:
"The notion that disarmament can put a
stop to war is contradicted by the nearest
dog fight If you put muzzle on
fighting dog he'll still go through the mo-
tions and the growlings of a fight, although
unable to bite"
On second consideration, this doesn't seem
particularly clever, even.
If the muzzled dog can't bite, then the
neighborhood children are safe, in spite of
his grumblings.
The general understanding of those who
favor the aim Of the disarmament conference
appears to be that disarmament would not
change human nature or the nature of ma
tions, but would mechanically effect more
practical ambition-keep them from run
ming headlong into fight.
Human nature is an old business So is
the instinct of the fighting dog. Yet Mr..
Shaw has just admitted that muZZle will
keep the latter from biting.
In the matter of fights especially Mr..
Shaw might be cautious Of epigrammatlcs.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Shaw confidently
predicted that Carpenter would defeat
Dempsey last summer.
ference and it's aims appears to leave out
one not quite negligible factor which could
be realized by holiday in battleship build
ing.

than even Mr.. Bernard Shaw to contend sue

of dollars of taxes would work anybody or
any nation harm just now-or for the next
decade.
