It is remarkable what difference

of US.
Now this does not mean foolish in
diligence in over-rich foods any more
than it means eating portions large
enough for growing boy who is eat
ing more in proportion than his seden-
tary father. There are certain princi-
pies OF common sense that underlie
diet plan for 80 and beyond.
Consult q Physician.
The first is: Consult your physician
as to whether you need any special
care. Second: with a clean bill of
health, plan an ordinary mixed diet
of the foods TO which YOU are accus-
toned and which you like. Third eat
slightly smaller portions of each than
those served to the others (many
young persons would DO better for the
observation of this rule). Fourth:
chew everything very thoroughly. with
out OVERRIDING it to the point Of MAX
ing yourself unhappy about the num-
Der Of masteations.. Fifth: drink
water freely. but only one glass or
less at each meal time. Sixth: forget
all about your digestion.
Such a program, persisted in and
accompanied by reasonable rest and
fresh air, will go far toward helping
anyone ward off old age. Many per-
sons of middle age are apt to forget
that in the very nature of the case
they are less active than formerly:
the golf course is more alluring than
the tennis court and the office desk

ergy as did pulling the chain with
the engineers.
The golf game sends its devotees in

paid Grant and Levin large sums of
money, today's first witnesses called
were Charles H. Powell, Calvin's
first lieutenant in his liquor and
boarding house business: Thomas v.
Doherty. Houlton attorney, who was
called to testify as to an injunction
which Grant threatened to place on
Calvin's building after the latter had

manded had made the business I'M

mony was ordered stricken from the

size of five hides in which liquor was
kept in the building. Grant, he said,
