Why Dread Old Age?

1t doesn't make much difference how
old you are If you only keep in good
health and are active. Many people ap-
pear older at 80 than others do at 40.
To keep looking young you have got to
enjoy good health, and do as little worry
ing as possible. Backaches, swollen joints
and legs, disturbed sleep by being COM
PEELED to arise one or more times during
the night are sure symptoms of kidney
trouble, and should have immediate atten-
ton to avoid serious consequences.
SEVEN BARKS, natures remedy of roots
and herbs, is one of the best remedies to
take not only for affected kidneys, but for
liver, stomach and heart troubles.
Middle-aged people realize that they
cannot perform their work or move around
as fast as formerly. The intestinal organs
feeA-the effect of age and do not perform
their work properly. The heart palpi-
tates on the slightest exertiOn, and the
back aches after a days work. The
muscles and flesh get fabby, and the
blood thinner than formerly. 1t is then
you need a good tonic and bowel regnla-
tor-you cannot find a more reliable and
efficient remedy for these conditions than
SEVEN BARKS.
If you want to enjoy it, recover some
of your youthful vigor and have the glow
of health, get SEVEN BARKS of your
druggist. Do not accept a substitute

SNAKE is ENIPEss.-l,,....75NTAL.
AIbino Reptile at the Zoo Refuses to Eat
i'm Public

The albino rattlesnake at the New
York Geological Gardens, captured by
Curator Raymond L. Ditmars in June on
Mt. Everett in the BerkshireS near Shelf
field, Mass, is proving one of the most
temperamental of any of the occupants of
the reptile house.
Several weeks ago when the white rat
tier was placed on exhibition in glass
case it refused to eat. After n fast of
several days during which the attendants
tried everything but fOrcible feeding to in
duce the snake to eat, Mr.. Ditmars de-
cided to try seclusion and semi-darkness.
The snake was placed on a shelf in the
darkest corner of the office away from
curious eyes and noise. At once it began
to take an interest in life and now is az
healthy as any snake has a right to be.
Mr.. Ditmars says that the albno snake
is like all other rattlers save in color. The
color pigment il entirely absent from this
specimen and when held up before a pow
erful electric light its internal organs
can be seen plainly. Another interesting
feature is its eyes which are bright red
1t is the only white rattlesnake the cura-
tor has ever been able to obtain.

PUPILS WRITE SCOUT ESSAYS.

Great interest is being manifested
in all large cities in the experiment
made by the board of education Of
New York city in making the writing
of an essay on the subject "What Boy
Scouts Can Do for Greater New York"
a part of the regular classroom work
on one day for the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth grades of all elementary
public schools. To make the prepare
ton of the material and the writing,
and especially the study of the pur-
poses of scouting more effective and
attractive, the work was made COM
petitive, with the following prizes;
For the best essay in each school
in Greater New York a bronze medal,
for the best in each school district, a
silver medal. for the best in each Of
the five boroughs, a gold medal, with
a special grand prize for the best es-
say in the entire city, all prizes given
by the Boy Scouts Of America.
'This will give an admirable oppor-
tunfty for the principals to discover
the effectiveness of the teaching Of
practical civics in practical ways, and
will focus fresh interest on the vital
essentials of good citizenship

FREAKIEST PLAY OF SEASON
Umpire Allows Runner to Score Who
Left Base Before Fly Ball
Had Been CAUGHT.

Del Howard, manager of Oakland,
Cal, team, tells of the freakiest play
that has happened in the Coast league
this season.
The Oaks were playing Seattle on
the latter's field. Casey was umpir-
ing the bases and Jimmy Toman han
died the balls and strikes.
Jack Knight of the Oaks was on
first base when Pop Arlett hit fly
to left center Bill Stumpf made q
great catch of it. Knight, who thought
Stumpf couldn't get near the ball
had passed third base.
Stumpf threw to Kenworthy and the
ball went through his hands, passing
by several other Seattle players. II
hit the bats In front of the Oakland
bench and was picked up and thrown
to second before Knight could return
Umpire Casey ruled him out. Then
Del Howard claimed the runner should
score, as the ground rules allowed the
man TO advance if the ball hit the
players dugout or bats.
Casey reversed his decision and the
run counted. Then ensued 10min-
ute argument.

GEN. WOOD PRAISES SCOUTS.

In the recent Boy Scouts of America
essay contest on the subject of fire
prevention Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander of the central division of
the army, acted as chairman of the
board of judges. He took keen inter-
est in reading the essays, which, be-
cause he was unable to leave Fort
Sheridan, H., were taken to him from
New York by representative of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters.
under whose auspices the contest was
conducted among the entire member
ship of the boy scouts in the United
States and its possessions. At the
conclusion of his work Major General
Wood issued the following statement;
81 cannot tell you with how much
interest and appreciation l read the
essays from the boy scouts contest
with reference 80 fire prevention. The
idea Of this contest was a fine one. II
served to bring TO the attention of the
boy scouts throughout the country a
most important field of effort, namely,
that of vigilance in measures looking
to fire prevention and the dissemina-
ton of information concerning the
sources of danger and what can be
done to prevent. The fundamental
cause of fires is careIessness, combined
with certain amount of ignorance. If
the boy scouts take up the campaign
in behalf of fire prevention and speak
as intelligently as they have written
l feel that We shall soon reduce the
danger from fire."

GRASS AIDS SPOKE

Many ballplayers chew tobac-
co while on the field, because
they are subject to nervous and
mental strain, but Iris Speaker,
the great leader Of the Cleveland
Indians, does not.
Spoke uses a substitute for to-
bacco that gets the same results
or perhaps better. Grass is
what he made cuds of while
thinking out the knotty problems
that won Cleveland's first pen
nant and a worlds title.
Hughie Jennings used to pick
grass in the coacher's box while
chortling his famous "Eyah! Ty
'em, Ty" yell. But Iris has got
Hughie beaten a city block in
picking the blades. He has the
grass eating championship
bound, gagged and tied to the
mast.
The Cleveland manager ex-
plains his grass eating stunt in
this wise:
II have to have some way of
giving vent to my physical nerv-
BUSINESS. 1 am so intensely inter-
ested in every play that I forget
everything else, and this grass
eating has become a habit with
me. l really believe it would be
hard for me to have to play on a
field that didn't sport any lawn"

SCOUTS MEET VERDUN HERO

The Boy Scouts of America were
honored by being selected TO greet
Gen. Robert Georges Nivelle, former
commander-in-chef of the French
army and famous hero of Verdun. VI,
on his arrival in this country recently
TO attend the Pilgrim Tercentenary
celebration. A hundred and thirty
scouts took part in the reception.
At the French line pier five picked
Eagle Scouts met the general as he
came off the steamer which brought
him to New York. They were with
DR.. Charles S. MacFarland, field scout
commissioner, who is the general sec
rotary of the Federal Council Of
Churches of Christ in America, on
whose invitation Gen. Nivelle came to
this country. From the pier he was
escorted to the Waldorf hotel where
five troops of boy scouts, a troop from
each of the boroughs of Greater New
York, carrying American flags and a
French flag fifteen feet long, were
lined up at salute and were reviewed
by General Nivelle.
The scouts We're greatly interested
In the blazing star of the Grand Cross
of the Legion of Honor which the gray
haired general wore on his army uni
form. His eighteen military honors
other than the Legion of Homer were
represented simply by five rows Of
ribbon bars across his left breast.
A diminutive thirteen-year-old Man
haitian scout, Frank Tobin, who wore
a tri-color ribbon was singled out by
General Nivelle, who had him come
forward to shake hands while in very
good English he told the assembled
scouts how pleased he was to be well
coined by representatives of this great
organization whose Jamboree party Of
300 picked scouts last summer gave
an exhibition of scouting in Paris
which opened his eyes and those Of
many other men of affairs there as to
the great value of scout training in
the formation of sturdy and useful
manhood.

and cities and all items of sinking-fund
payments or the redemption and inter-
est payments on road and bridge
bonds have been excluded.
The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an increase of approx
mately 80 1-3 per cent over those of
1918 and 20 per cent over those of
1914 More striking, however, is the
increase in the proportion of the total
funds supervised by the several state
highway departments. In 1918 the ex-
penditures by or under the supervision
Of the state highway departments
amounted to SIT, 2S5, 26S, while the
local road funds, over which they exer-
cised no control whatever, amounted to
S1eS, 812, 925. In 1919, however, the
state highway departments supervised
the expenditure of 500, 292, 694 as
against the total of $189, 1929 ex-
pended by the local road and bridge
authorities.

The little manager realizes that speed
must be added to the team if it is to

Higgins hopes to have men who are

PLANE DROPS BALL

A novel kickoff was witnessed
at an international football
match which took place in VI
emma recently between Austria
and Hungary.
Both teams were lined up,
ready for the start, but it was
noticed they had no ball. An
airplane. however, suddenly APP
peared on the horizon, lowered
over the playing field for short
time, and then, to the huge de-
light of some $4,000 onlookers,
slowly glided down until 1t was
so feet above the center. Then
the pilot dropped football, and
as soon as the ball touched the
ground the referees whistle
sounded and the match was on.
Having got rid of its bomb,
the airplane mounted again and
made off amid the cheers and
laughter of the crowd.
