OLD AGE FASTENED
BY FAULTY ELIMINATION

1t has been said that old age shoalC
be properly termed ''misused organs
for we all know that many persons
grow older than their years warrant
while many Others keep young long
after their years would indicate old
age. Scientists have made repeated
efforts to explain this and those who
have announced that the reasons
have been at last discovered have
themselves died in early middle life.
From this il would seem that in
order to prevent old age coming up
on u3 prematurely we should take
early precautions against It, anl the
chief of these precautions may be
said to be concerned with the proper
elimination of waste products in the
body. This elimination is too large
| ly a matter of habit and if we ac-
custom ourselves to regularly follow
ing the calls of nature we have taken
most important step toward elimi-
mating the waste products from
foods. The use of strong laxatives is
to be discouraged while a regulated
diet of sufficient bulk and with a
certain amount of "roughne5s" such
as is furnished in spinach, cabbage,
carrots, lettuce, turnip salad, celery
and similar vegetables, often accom-
plishes the desired results.
Elimination through the kidneys
and through the skin also disposes of
the waste products which the body
pickL up in it's daily work and which
if not properly eliminated produces
headache, nervousness, sleeplessness,
depression, ill humor, lack of con-
centration, impaired efficiency and
premature old age
The free, use of soap and water
helps the skin to eliminate it's poi
sons, and the free drinking of pure
fresh water, not too cold, is a great
aid to the elimination of kidney
water. The average person does not
drink enough water. Unless enough
water is taken into the body by
drinking it will be extracted from
the tissues and from the organs of
elimination thus weakening the nat
ural functions of these organs and
pcisons are absorbed which should
be thrcwn off.
Therefore, to postpone old age,
free elimination of roisons is essen
tial: plenty of fresh air, pure water,
proper food, should be the slogan Of |
all persons in middle life, and what |
is equally important children and |
young people should form the habit |
of leading lives 80 sanitary that when |
middle life is reached they will have |
acquired habits of right living which |
insvres safe, sane and satisfactory |
life will old aCa for in tha futlIrp
The personal determination to
''grcw old gracefully" need not inter-
fere with a resolve to keep young
faithfully and the keeping young is
so largely matter Of personal habits
md will. that the effort to do SO can
not be too strongly urged.-Contrib-
uted by Nursing Service, Southern

Single Tax Defense.

To the Editor of The CONNER cial
Sir The article entitled Com
mon Sense" by Lowe Shearon, con-
rected The statement that Mr..
George Lloyd classed all those who
opposed the Single Tax as economic
illiterates" is hardly correct There
are millions of people who are econom-
ic illiterates who know nothing of
the Single Tax. 1t is no di3grace but
great misfortune to be an economic
illiterate. How many men in the
United States know whether land is
wealth or not?
The second statement that Henry
George advocates a fallacy when he
says land should be common proper
ty. Land must be either common
property or private property and it
is common property by right, as all
men have an equal right to life and
therefore an equal right to the use
of the earth. If one man has bet
ter right to the earth than another
man then he has a better right to
life 1t is true that land cannot be
property in the sense that any man
produced it, But it can be common
property in that all of Gods people
have an equal right to use it.
The Single Takers claim that the
main function of government is to
see that all people have an equal
right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness" The statement,
"If there had been free and open
competition, etc." There can be no
free and open competition while men
have to compete with each other for
permission to use the land from
which to produce the necessaries of
life. The man who spcculates in
land (that is, keeping land out of use
for profit causes two tenants to
bid for one fiat and two men to COM
pete for one job. Land speculation
is the curse of humanity. Our moth
er, the earth, was not put here to be
held out of use for profit. Why
should we tax (fine) those who put
land to use and reward those who
keep land out of use?
One of the most wonderful things
in this world is the fact that when
millions of people live together in
city the need for public things arises
and a new revenue appears; the
ground rents for millions of dollars
(due to the presence of population)
and the great question arises. shall
the millions of dollars in ground rent
be collected by single tax to pay for
public expenses or shall it be paid to
landlords for permission to live on
the land provided by Our Heavenly
Father?
The greatest and most terrible
question now coming up for settle
ment in our beloved country is, shall
all taxes on food, clothing, buildings,
machinery and every other product
of labor be abolished and the yearly
rent of land be collected by Single
Tax for all public needs or shall VIC
tax food, clothing, buildings, ma
chinery and other products of labor
and give the rent of land to land
lords for permission to live on the
earth? Respectfully,
GEORGE LLOYD,
Sec. Single Tax Party.

was now getting quite low, and the
heat was somewhat abating, yet it re-
mained quite hot as we rode a few
miles to the eastward on the desert.
As night closed in upon us we selected
our camping place in little sag where
there were some strong sage bushes
growing. To these we tied our horses
securely, for, as there was not blade
of grass and they were suffering Tor
water, we knew they would leave US,
should they break away from their
fastenings. The only camp duty we
had to perform that night was to
spread our blankets down upon the
loose sand. Then we stretched our
selves upon them, with little hope of
rest, for our thirst had by that time
became intense; worse, no doubt, from
reason of our having drank the strong
alkali water that morning. our re-
Elections that night were gloomy in
the extreme. Even if we could have
heard the cry of a night bird of the
note of coyote it would have given
us encouragement, for 1t would have
indicated the presence of water some
where in the vicinity, but not sound
was heardk during the livelong night
except ourfown voice and the restless
tramp of the halffamished horses.
As we started out ON the morning of
July 18th TO the eastward we could
see only a short distance on account of
the dense clouds of, smoke which en-
veloped the country We spent much
of the day in searching in various
places for water and at about four

Three Years of Peace.

Three years ago the World war came
Officially to an end. We have had three
years of peace. 1t has been peace only
in the sense that military operations
came to an end. They have been three
years of turmoil, different only in
character to the four years of war
three years of founding, of fears of
jealousies, Of hopes, unfulfilled, of
expectations unreaiized. The whole
world is paying the cost of the war.
and will continue to do SO for three
years more and for many time three
years. If we have had fond hope
that we could escape the consequences,
We have fonnd it TO be delusion. We
have not even yet mapped out a course
to follow in our efforts toward recon
struction.
We have learned many things in
these three years, but there are many
more things of which we are still I'M
taught. Human nature that was lifted
to the heights of self sacrifice has
dropped back into its old-time self
interest. an din all our calculations we
have got to reckon this in as factor.
The business depression through
which the country has been passing is
world wide. How much of it could
have been avoided had there been less
political activity in our own country
we do not know, but had it been posi-

charge so frequently made that
thousands of human lives in Europe
had been sacrificed by our delay, but
it is fair to assume that the conditions
in Europe would have been different.
This country has taken the view that
for us to have become a party to the
Versailles treaty would have been a
mistake, and that by retaining our
Independence we are in better posi-
tion to ultimately help Europe out of
her troubles. Our own delay in de-
claring peace was merely typical of the
disruption that followed in the wars
wake. 1t was difficult for us to CO.
ordinate our ideas as TO the course we
should follow, and time has yet to
prove whether the allies did not act
too hastily IN preparing the Versailles
treaty.
One thing we have demonstrated is
that we cannot build wall around our
selves and live in selfish isolation
Whether bound by treay or otherwise,
we are compelled to take our part in
world affairs. We are accounted the
richest country in the world. We have
great resources, we have the greater
portion of the worlds supply of gold,
and all the world is in debt with us.
Yet, Of what value are all these riches
to US if the rest of the world is too
poor to trade with usi We are learn
