TRY IT ONE YEAR, ANYHOW

Do you expect to see the end
Of 1924? You may, and then you
may not. But if you are as wise
as others give you credit for be-
ing you will take ordinary pre-
cautions in your efforts to live
out another year of life. Eat
simple food, and don't gorge.
Masticate your food thoroughly
chew it twice as long as you
have been in the havit of doing
Drink large quantities of pure
fresh water. Get the habit of
deep breathing. Exercise for half
an hour each day, and take a
brisk walk before breakfast.
Take plenty of sleep, and keep a
window open. Fresh air at night
is as necessary as food in the
daytime. There's nothing diff
cult in any of these but they will
make a different person of you,
f you give them a chance. Do
something for yourself, and don't
expect the Lord to do it all. You

We still maintain that the quick
est way to bring eternal peace is
this plan: Pass a law in every in-
portant country, by which every po-
litician, diplomat, office-holder, edi-
tor, orator or clergyman who voted
for war or stirred up war sentiment
would have to join the army as a
private and 60 to the front in the
first ranks.
1t is not human nature for man
to vote to send himself to battle.
The system is to vote to send 9TH

why field glasses were invented.
Unfortunately, this plan is i'm

HOW SOON WE ARE
FORGOTTEN

Capt. Richmond P. Hobson,
erstwhile hero of the Spanish
American War, was lost for four
days in the California mountains.
Recently search party found
him. The news is recorded in
American newspapers in the re-
stricted space of one inch.
Just little more than twenty
years ago, Captain Hobson was
the naval lion of the United
States, says Vancouver paper.
Newspapers gave him columns.
He was feted and dined like a
prince. Women fought for the
privilege of embracing him. The
nation gave him a fine residence
and even tried to pick a beautiful
wife for him.
In those days if Robson had
mislaid his collar button the
newspapers would have made a
Sunday feature of it. But now,
recovered after having been be-
lieyed dead, he gets an inch.

The Dangerous Season

Down here in South Georgia,
where the winters are short and
summers long, we live on fresh
air for nine or ten months in the
year. When a few cool days

The change is too severe
Plenty of fresh air is necessary.
For three-fourths of the year we
literally have nothing else.
Watch out cool days.

than in any other month, the
Census Bureau reports, basing
its information on 1921 statis-
tics.
A large life insurance compa-
ny claims March has the great
est death toll, according to its
records for 1920, 1921 and

At any rate, we're now in the
most dangerous season, which
begins around the first of the
year and lasts until summer.
March is especially favorable
to the undertaken. In March
comes the harvest of winter
weather and winter habits. In
climates that have cold winters,
people get less fresh air and
outdoor exercise than in sum
