WHY RISK LIFE TO SAVE S
MINUTES?

DUNCTUALITY is . virtue. But
: even virtue can be carried too far.
Samuel E. Freundlich. sixty years
old, had been employed by one firm for
over thirty years and in all that time
he had never been late. He lived at
Rosehill, Chicago suburb, and took
the 7 :06 a. m. train every morning,
The ether day he was few minutes
late and reached the station just as
the train was pulling out. He ran to
catch it, jumped for the platform,
missed It and went under the wheels.
He lost both of his legs and probably
his life.
We are all creatures of habit. Reg
ularity and punctuality are highly COM
mendable characteristics. But they
aren't worth risking your life for.
It's better to break your record than
to break your neck. Be on time. by
all means, but when an occasional mis-
calculation makes you few minutes
late, don't risk your life in order to
maintain your record.
Men who are sixty years old haven't
any business running after trains, any
how. It's all right for the boy or the
young man. But the muscle 6bers Of
the heart are like rubber. When you
are young they can stretch, even be-
yond the ordinary, without permanent
injury. But by middle life the heart
muscle is like old rubber. It's all right
80 IoDc nc NOV, dorsk r,,k m ,fnucuoV
strain on it. but If it's stretched, it's
apt to break.
Men and women over forty-five, and
especially over fifty, should avoid sud
den, extreme and unusual exertion. II
the heart muscle is not diseased, it's
fully equal to the ordinary, everyday
strain which is put on 1t. But sudden
and severe exertion may cause serious
If not fatal consequences. Unusual ex-
ertion increases the rate and force of
the hearts action. The heart is like
q rubber ball. If 1t Is overstrained, 1t
stretches. This may cause acute dila-
tation of the heart, sometimes severe
enough to produce death, or it may re-
suit in stretching the valves of the
heart so that they never work properly
thereafter.
Many serious heart conditions have
their origin In some unusual exertion,
which is often unnecessary. If you
are middle-aged or past, don't run after
street cars or trains. Wait until the
next one comes, even If you are little
late. This may require five or ten min
utes' waiting, but It may mean several
years longer life.

HOMECOMING

r HAVE never been away from home
! great deal. A week at some dis
tant relatives or summer engaged in
recreation Or employment with strang-
ers has made up the tale Of my sep
aration from my family. remained In
the home of my childhood until ] had
made home for myself. But even
these short separations from home
have given me an appreciation Of the
Joy of getting back.
rushed everywhere in and out of
the house to note the changes that had
taken place during my absence. I
visited my old familiar haunts looked
up my old companions, and Struggled
down in my special corner with book
in my hand and another sitting by,
both of us happy over the reunion. It
was great to be home again How
much more so to those who have been
away for a longer time and at a
greater distance to return to the home
fireside.
Homecoming Is for all of us. and
should be more or less a sentimental
time. We appreciate the comforts and
the privileges and the delights of home
the more by being separated from them
for a time. 1t is another case of alb
sence making the heart grow fonder.
The absence and the homecoming.
too, often give one clearer apprecia-
ton of the obligations and RESPONSE
bilities one should have toward home.
Homecoming is a pleasure because
It gives opportunity to talk over ac-
cOmplishments, to stimulate ambition
and to fire the Imagination of the
younger and less experienced members
of the family. We have been out In
the world even though 1t may be for
so short time, we have seen new
sights, we have done wonderful deeds,
we have tried our wings and have
found them strong. We have expert
ence behind us, and we are eager to
confer its benefits upon the less sophis-
ticated members of the family.
Sometimes there is the selfish son
who sees in homecoming only time
for pleasure, for qualification, for
Incorporate indulgence in eating,
drinking and sleeping. He gets out
Of the family everything that 1t will
give. He contributes nothing to It's
happiness or tosits progress: he looks
out only for what he can get to satisfy
his selfish desires. His return is not
looked for with Joyous anticipation;
his going is relief.
Homecoming for all Of us should be
time Of renewing ole acquaintances
Of visiting old scenes and old friends
of stimulating old IDEALS There are
the younger children to drink in the
tales of adventure and accomplish
ments out in the real world. and to
be stirred and stimulated by them.
Those who come back may get pleas
ure; they may give help and encour-
agement. If their object. however. IL

Edge and Hill Lead Fight in
congress-Doubt Any
Change in Laws.

Vets in Congress shortly will
begin concerted drive to liber-
alize the Volstead law, it was
learned today.
The chief purpose Of the cam
paign, which will consist mainly
Of oratorical outbursts, is to
shove the "wet" and "dry" ques-
ton to the fore as an important
issue in the fall elections.
Edge TO Start Fight.
Senator Edge Repl Of New Jer-
Sey. who has already introduced
bill to define intoxicating liquor at
3 per cent rather than one-half of
l per cnt. win start the ball rolling
in the Senate. The House fight win
be handled by Congressman John
Philip Hill Rep) Of Maryland.
The '"wets'' admit they have little
chance to gain q victory in this Con
gresg, not only because Of the legis-
lative jam but because q majority
Of the members of Congress- are
pledged to repudiate any attempt to
liberalize the law. Their chief hope
Is to arouse public sentiment to their
side.
THE reaction throughout the
country, most particularly along the
Atlantic seaboard, seems to be in
favor Of lifting the percentage de-
filming alcoholic liquor in the Vol.
stead act," Edge said, adding that
he was preparing a lengthy speech
in support of the BILL
~ do not think that Congress
ever intended that Intoxicating
liquor should be defined as one
half Of per cent. That figure is
ridiculous" he said.
Prediction BY COlzens.
Senator Couzens Rep) of MIchi-
gan, predicted the dry issue would
play a prominent part in the next
elections, saying, II think the Anti
Saloon League will make it so.'
Aroused at the. impending acitvi-
ties Of the vets, dry leaders an
nounced that they were prepared to
meet all efforts to tinker with the
Volstead act.
LET them come ahead" said
Senator Willis RepJ of Ohio. 1--WE
can defeat any move to disturb the
dry law
The two Texas Senators, Mayfield
and Sheppard, both Democrats, are
also pledged to help carry the "dry"
flag in any battle the "wets" might
precipitate against the Volstead
act.

CONGRESSMAN o. J. KvALE
OFFERS ULTRA.DRY BILL

Congressman o. J. Kvale of Min
nesota, the only independent in the
House and the successor to Andrew
Volstead, introduced a new ultra
dry" bill in the House today.
Congressman Kvale's bill would
make known to the public the best
cellars in the United States and
would provide a surtax on liquor
which might well stagger a mil
lionaire. This tax would place a
basic tax of $40 on each gallon,
with surtaxes on a graduating scale
at the rate of 81 additional for each
gallon above one. Thus a man
owning three gallons OF liquor
would owe a tax of $3S q year.
Four gallons would bear a tax of
$46. and five gallons $50.
Each citizen owning liquor would
be required to submit to the tax
collector on January / Of each year
@ list OF his stock, giving the names
OF the various brands, the exact
quantity and the alcoholic content.
