THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS THE
DOOR TO LONG LIVING.

The men of eighty-five and nine
ty years of age are not the rotund
well-fed, but thin, spare men, who
live On slender diet Be as careful
as he will, however, man past mid
die age will occasionally eat too
much or of some article of food not
suited to his constitution, causing
indigestion or constipation and will
need dose of Chamberlain's Tab
lets to move his bowels and invigor-
ate his stomach. When this is done,
there is no reason why the average
man should not live to ripe old age.

CONSERVING THE CROPS

From 50 to IS per cent of the fruit
and vegetables grown in this country
never reach the markets. Wasteful
methods on the farms account for
parts of it, and the difficulties and
costs of transportation account for
the rest of it.
But now science is coming to the
relief of the farmers. A new process,
called dehydrization, is coming into
use. The long word means drying.
Fruits and vegetables are to he dried,
and then they will keep indefinitely
and will lose none of their desirable
qualities, and at leisure, or when
prices are best.
Farmers will profit, as we'll as con
sumers who live N cities.
But it is nothing new. 1t is merely
going back to first princi pies. Drying
peaches and apples was an important
part of the years work on most farms
in this country two or three genera
tions ago.
1t was done then by hand and on a
small scale. Now it will be done
by improved machinery, and on a
large scale.

FINDING ONES WORK

The selection of n right vocation IN
life is matter of supreme and tragic
importance. 1t spells success or fail
ure.
Happy is the man who has found
his work" The instructor who wise
ly helps a student to choose the call
ing in which fitness and adaptabiIity
combine for success has rendered an
incalcuable service.
Many an unwisc teacher has spent
futile years trying to fit square pegs
into round holes, or round peg into
square holes. 1t can't he done.
Somewhere. in the mighty plan and
equipment of the schools of today
there ought 10 be a "Chair Of adapta
bility," department which shall
study boys and girls personally-then
temperamcnt>, their natural gifts an'
capacities.
The wise, firm hand Of counso
should direct them toward the sue
cess which means happiness to them
selves and happiness to others.
Happy is the man who has fount
his work! And blessed is the teacher
who has helped man to find hi
work

TIE BRITISH SYSTEM

Great Britain has limited mon
archial form of government. but as a
matter of practice the British govern
ment Is much more democratic than
that of the United States.
Whenever the British government
finds itself in minority. when it finds
that ii no longer has the approval of
the people Of the country, it resigns
and new election is ordered forth
with. The new government goes into
power within a few weeks.
With us it is quite different. The
administration may be in the minor.
ity, but it never resigns. General cleo
tions may show the party in power
has lost the support and confidence
of the people, but it stays in power
until the limit of its term of office
We claim that ours is a democracy
but it is away behind the times.

GIVE US AIR!

The other evening | passed the
open door of one of the largest and
most magnificently appointed motion
picture theaters in the State. The
surge of foul air from the door fairly
made me stagger as l hurried by on
the sidewalk.
If / could barely retain my feet in
the sickening wave from the door.
what must have been the condition of
the hundreds of people who had been
sitting in that atmosphere for full
hour and a half? Is it any wonder
that many are staying away from
motion picture exhibitions who would
like to attend, but who cannot endure
the next days headache, or the weeks
or months cold they catch, or the
generally bum feeling they have all
ever?
Some have concluded that the dane
ing of the pictures on the screen in
lures their eyes and causes the head
ache or dizziness. Perhaps this is
true in some cases. But these symp-
toms are probably more often the re-
suit of the poisoned air which all
must breathe in the closely shut
room.
Movie theaters make little provis-
ion for ventilation. Often there is
none whatever, and the people, once
crowded in, must literally "stew in
their own juice" until the exhibition
is over and the doors are thrown
Spen.
Ii nor4 is really adequate provision
for ventilation made. Even the elec
trio fans, which progressive mana
gers sometimes install, only Echurn the
foul air and provide that everybody
shall swap germs with everybody
else.
What is your solution of this prob
lem? Swear at the manager? HI
probably is doing the best he can fo
the kind of people who come to hi
show-which is you.
Shut up the movies: OF cours
not. The movie is one of the creates
and most significant of our moder
institutions of civilized society. w
cannot get along without il.
What is your answer?

TIE WEED MENACE

In a recent paper before the Indi-
ma Academy of Sciences by Albert
\. Hansen, the cost of weeds in the
State of Indiana was estimated at
ia per capita annually. Indiana,
according to the federal census hu-
eau, has a population of 2,930.390,
which would make the total cost of
weeds every year foot up with the
tupendous sum of $il ,02S, AGO.
The yummary of a useless and COM
non burden on the people at large
moves the Country Gentleman to in
C tigale, and that splendid agricul-
ural authority estimates the great
loss to the country at large is quite
A. heavy as it is in Indiana. Every
tate night well take stock of its
losses in this respect. All of Us ought
get valuable lesson from a care
ful pcrlsal of this tip from the farm
magazine just meniioned:
"Is the loss in Indiana is $14 il
must be two or three times as much in
some Of the prairie states, where per-
ennial weeds in many places have
made the growing of crops great
problem. Perhaps billion dollars
would lie IA conservative estimate of
the national weed tax. How can the
tax be obviated? The answer is
good farming. That means clean
seeds, clean cultivation, and the de-
vclopment of community spirit
that will not permit one farmer to
let his crop Of weeds ripen and pois-
on the surrounding lands. 1t means
keeping clean the roadsides, cleaning
grain threshers after doing a job
and moving to the next. If it is
true that our weed tax approaches
OF exceeds the enormous total of
billion dollars a year we should be
well repaid for the labor of overcom-
ing it,"
