The Higher Law.

The law of the Lord is perfect. con-
verting the soul.--Ps. 1877.
The true uplifting and emancipa-
tion of our life comes through the
recognition OF the higher ties and
relationships which bind US.
The progress and elevation Of the
soul is a process Of discovering, not
that 1t is Independent and masterless,
but that the lower laws and condi-
tions under which 1t lives are subordi-
nate to the higher laws. and that its
bondage in certain sphere becomes
transformed into liberty when IL 10
lifted up into a higher sphere, where
both he that serveth ana ,.e that Is
served are subject unto supreme
sovereignty which is above all.
That is what / understand by the
reign of law-not the domination OF
one rule alone upon all that is. but
the reign of law over law, the higher
above the lower. and the highest of
all supreme; SO that those who rise
to that last and topmost height,
where God forever dwells and is what
He commands, are sharerB in His
liberty and dominion.
They become the sons Of God, not
because they have cast or and re-
nounced their obligations, but be-
cause they have recognized them step
by step, sphere by sphere, until at
last they come with glad submission
into unity and harmony with that
which is sovereign and ultimate.
And that. IL the Bible Is true. II
nothing else than perfect love.

HEALTH HINTS
By Bernarr Macfadden.

There has been a tremendous sac !.
rifice of men of middle age lin recent
Years. Dsgenerative diseases OF the
arteries, kidneys, the heart and the
liver are responsible for the increased
mortality among men from fifty to
five-five years Of age.
1t is just at this time of life that
the average man really becomes most
valuable to the community. When
men die of at this age 1t means the
loss of the best brain power in the
community, for they have reached the
period a which they are able to do
better work than ever before.
Now these degenerative diseases
are very largely the result of the
stagnation and inactivity of the
average man. No man who takes a
proper amount of exercise, who does
not overeat, and who does not tax

diseases i at ths earS t of fs

other thirty or forty years.
a., man. man may be & In many respects
tain parts of his working machine
may be worn out. This wearing out
process can be prevented by proper
habits and normal amount of exer-
else.
Ordinarily one may say that there
should be a difference between the
exercise man should take after fifty,
for instance, and that which he
should take after the age of seventy,
but this will also depend upon the
individual. In England cross-country
running has been a popular pastime
for many generations, and the mid
dle-aged Englishman often takes as
great an interest in it as a boy. In
many cases it happens that a father
Will start In the same race with
his son. This goes to show that the
man who has kept up athletic ac-
tivity. may be able after fifty to pur-
sue the same activities as in youth
But unless he has done this there
is a possibility of strain through un-
accustomed exercise.
Before undertaking any form of
physical training it is advisable to
have the heart examined. This does
not mean that one must avoid all
exercises if the examination of the
heart is not favorable. Even a weak
heart may be Strengthening in time,
but an examination is a good pre-
caution.

English is a strangely compounded

more of the history of the race that

Invariably when we sort out words

speech. we find that they are Of
Anglo-Saxon origin. Thus most Of our
words Of geographical or Typographical
significance are Anglo-Sa such
words as hill, field, cliff, etc. :.
But hills. valleys, forests. glades
and the like are no longer so impor-
tant to US as landmarks since the
passage Of centuries has developed
SO many place names and taught us
the enlciency of arbitrarily naming
new real estate developments. Hence
a great many of these old Anglo
Saxon words have disappeared, or are
rapidly disappearing from our vocab-
ularies.

Red Velvet i'm the New Umbrellas
ny ANNE RrTTENHoUsE.

Carrying an umbrella used to be
regarded as a bitter necessity for the
woman who could not depend on car
rfage or motor car to carry her direct
TO her destination, plus a fiunky or
footman or an awning canopy to
protect her between the curbstone
and the door But umbrella carrying
is now n luxury. For umbrellas are
so cleverly designed along such swag-
ger lines nowadays that rainy
weather is robbed Of much Of its
former depressing effect.
No street suit Is really fully
equipped with appropriate access
sories without the corresponding UNI
brella. and shops where women go
for careful accoutering make d point
of suggesting suitable umbrellas for
all sorts OF street suits and frocks.
Possibly the rapid increase in the
number OF automobiles in all our
cities and suburbs has something to
do with this good turn for the um-
brella. The difficulties of being
driven up to the curb where one
wishes to be, the impossibilities of
parking cars where and when one
wishes, have made women realize that
even though they drive their own car
or have a chauffeur at their beck and
call an umbrella is usually a neces-
sity.
There are, of coarse, numbers of
very smart women here and abroad
who regard 1t as a necessary part
of their daily exercise. rain or shine,

TIE MARGIN OF SANITY

There is no such thing in the law as distinguish
ing whether is 25 per cent SO per cent sane"
says the states attorney in the Franks murder case
He either is sane and responsible under the law or
he is insane
This, evidently, is the law. Just as evidently it is
not sense. The law, on the whole may deserve its
famous Characterization 1.-The perfection of human
reason but the law in this and some other particu-
lars falls far short of ordinary intelligence
What is sanity? What is insanity? Nobody but
alienist tell and his definitions and explana-
tons cannot be understood by anybody else
1t is like asking What is health?" and What is
sickness There are infinite degrees of physical
health, and infinite degrees of mental condition
We make rough classification of sane and insane
when we put some people in asyums and allow others
to remain at liberty; but crude is the legal
chnery for such division that often people at liberty
far less balanced and capable of looking after them
selves and performing their part in society than 9TH
ers confined unatics
In criminology it is especially desirable to dstin-
guish carefully, in order to determine moral respon
sbility well mental competence. If the prisoner
is intelligent and knows exactly what he is doing,
turaly he should have different kind of treatment
from the offender incapable of knowing the rightness
wrongness of his action.
'Sane" and insane are opposite terms, like black
recognize at least third possibility gray between the
two extremes, and possibly several shades of gray
fuses recognize varying degrees of mental response
bility Criminal justice, far, is absurdly imper-
feet and inadequate.

YEARLY MODELS"

There is lure in new models whether they be
motor cars or gowns Also there is peril in them. An
experienced automobile says:
''The automobile industry will have to get over
this yearly model practice There is other indus
try that tries to bring out models every year,
cept the clothing ndustry-and look what has happen
ed to it in the last few years."
Scores of cloak and suit makers and manufacture
ers of various kinds of dress goods have been ruined
largely because of the enormous expense of rapidly
shifting styles. The system they started away with
them. The public accustomed to styles every sea-
son. became and more tickle. Makers and deal
ers were caught with great stocks hand that the
public would not take. At BEST the practice has made
it necessary to charge at the beginning of season,
far more than articles WORTH and then sell at
loss at the end the season. before the next change of
style come on.
Somewhat the thing, the critic thinks may
happen to the motor industry And in that industry
there is another important factor-repl The
more models of any make of there in existence
at once the more difficult and expensive becomes the
problem of furnishing spare parts for them and keep
ing them running
New models have played big part in developing
American automobiles to their present stage OF effl-
cheney and beauty but the need seems to be rather
for greater smplification and Standardization along
the general efficiency lines for industry urged so vgor
ouslv bv Herbert Hoover 1t is significant that one
we'll known automobile company is now advertising,
Improved constantly, but no yearly models
