clean by Wall Street. He fought, as
he said, to keep others from being
burned at tho ticker, but unable to
practice what he preached, Lawson
Of Boston kept playing fast and loose
with the bulls and the bears until
they stripped him Of virtually every
shred.
King Of Mackraker..
Lawson, tho king Of the muck
rakers when undertaking was an
tell his tale OF "Frenxied Finance"
This was back in 1000 years ago.
Tho presses could not print enough
OF the magazines. They were gob-
bled UP from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciflc. Old ladies read them and
shouted their condemnation of Wall
street and its ways from the house,
tops. Preachers exhorted from the
church steeples. Little children swore
Public opinion, indamed to the burn
ing point, spread overseas and Eu
rope listened In for each succeeding
chapter of the thrilling story of the
man who was exposing Wall street
from the "inside."
Lawson went on an advertising
spree such as the United States had
never known before. When he found
that Europe had its ears open he ex-
tended his campaign to the newspa-
pers over there. The man was al
most devoured by the flames of his
own righteous Indignation.
Only One Wise Investment.
For the last six or seven years
Lawson of Boston" has dropped so
completely from the limelight that
the world, which once, in Monte
Cristo fashion, was almost his, had
begun to think Of him as dead. Law
son has been living quietly with his
sister at her home near Bar Harbor.
1t is said that In the days of his roll
ing wealth he settled an annuity
upon her. II the story be true, 1t
was the only really wise investment
the broker ever made.
All his property is gone; his wife.
whom he showered with riches, is
dead; his family scattered. One of
his sons is said to be making his
home in a $35 a month tenement in
this city.
Lawson's spectacular fight against
Wall street not only brought him
fame but untold riches. Having
gained the confidence Of the people
Of the eptire country, Lawson start
ed a little Wall street OF his own.
Evening star., 1924-11-28

He began to be an "underwriter."
He organized one copper company
after another. Tho people poured
millions into his lap. They mort
gagged their homes, sold their cattle.
Lawson, the wizard Of finance, was
to lead them at once to tho promised
land.
Deaf to B'riends' Pleas.
In after years, when they had lost
their all, some Of his closest friends
appealed to him for help. Lawson
laughed at them. He had not asked
them to give him their money. They
had thrust 1t upon him. If the pro-
motions and speculations had failed,
what of It? The man always has
been a queer paradox. Handing out
generosity with one hand, he has
struck out ruthlessly with the other,
letting the victims fall where they
might. Lawson still had millions
when many Of his followers were on
their way over the hill to the poor
house.
But they were not long ahead of
him. He Is Of their number now.
The ticker has taken it's toll.

to distraction, laid plots for the Bos-

walked humming like the fly going
to visit the spider. And Lawson Of
Boston had about the same chance of
escape.
He has been stripped Of DreamWold
the home builded from his dreams
of childhood. His dead wife's Jewels
are gone. The steam yachts, the
blooded cattle. the fatted pigs, the
Dreamwold terriers. the Lawson pink"
nothing left but memories, mem
ories which scar and burn as Tom
Lawson. broken on the wheel, lies
wracked with pain In his hospital
bed.
Mingled with the memories, how
ever, there is the old fighting desire
to get back In the game. Lawson's
friends say that If he had only few
thousand dollars he might have
cleaned up" in the recent flush
market. But the market goes on,
paying no heed to what might have
been. In Wall street, too, Lawson
Of Boston, is but a memory-even
less than that-just smile.

YOU CAN LIVE LONGER

Dou you expect to see the end
end of 1924?
You may, and then you may
not. But if you are as wise as
others give you credit for being
you will take ordinary precau-
tons in your efforts to live out
another year of life.
Eat simple food, and don't
gorge.
Masticate your food thorough
ly-chew it twice as long as you
have been in the habit of doing.
Drink large quantities Of pure
fresh water.
Get the habit of deep breath
ing.
Exercise for half an hour each
day and take brisk walk before
breakfast.
Take plenty of sleep, and kec}
window open. Fresh air at
night is as necessary as food in
the daytime
There's nothing difficult in
any of these but, they will make
a different person of you if you
give them a chance.
Do something for yourself, and
don't wait to be shedding tears
over your remains in 1924. -

TAXES. TAXES! TAXES!

Since the extra session Of the
Georgia legislature adjourned,
the statehouse exports have been
figuring on the additional money
which will be raised under the
new taxes and they estimate that
the state will get S4,000,000 more
in 1924 than was collected in
1928.
This gives the present legisla-
ture the championship belt" for
raising money. Never before in
the history of the state has there
been legislature which put so
much new tax on the people in
one year, or even in two years.
In 1914, the state collected
from the pockets OF the people a
little less than s6,0O0,000.
In 1918, the collections we're
little more than $7,0O0,O0O, an
average gain Of 100000 a year.
in 1924, the state will collect
between $16,000,000 and $17,-
100000 if the new laws are en-
forced-Richland News.

RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENT
HOOD.

Studying is only one of the
parental duties passed on to
teachers. Many parents rely up
on the schools to teach the re-
spect for authority which was
never inculcated in the home.
Many parents depend upon the
school to train the child to respect
for the rights of others. Many
parents even depend upon the
school to drill into the pupil the
principal of honesty and right
ness, and the other principles
accompanying real characters.
It is rare, very rare, that a
child rises above the level of
the home from which he came.
When he does so his hold upon
the higher level is a precarious
one and the strain of crisis oft
en- looses the grip.
The noticeable tendency in
modern home life is this attempt
to place the responsibility of
parenthood upon other shoulders.
It is the children who pay the
penalty.-Waycross Journal.

Errors in diet that cause pre-
mature age are chiefly those that
have to do with the quantity Of
food eaten.
First among these foods which
the old should use sparingly are
the heavy meats. There are two
we'll recognized physiological in
dications that heavy meats are not
required in the later period OF
life. One is the decay OF me
teeth OF course. 1t does nos fol-
low that loss Of teeth must occur
even in OLD age. Many people re-
tain them. However, all foods ca
cept the heavy meats may be so
selected or prepared thal 1hey can
be properly mixed with the saliva
in the mouth and thus prepared
for the digestion without teeth
The dentist, by very sllillfuIly re-
placing the natural teeth, performs
q valuable service to our appear
ance and comfort: but in render
ing it possible Tor the aged to con-
tinue the meat diet OF vigorous
middle life he may often work
actual injury
The more positive indications
that meat is superiluous to the old
Is 10 be found in the prevalence
of kidney trouble and the ire
quency with which this causes
1eath in the latter part of life
The chief chemical element of lean
meat IS nitrogen, and the secre-
ton from tbs body OF this element
in the form of urea is the chief
function Of the Kidneys. BY the
continual heavy use Of meat the
kidneys are overtaXed, resulting in
their breakdown and the accumu-
lation Of the heterogeneous elements
which poison the body
Sufficient protein, or heterogeneous
food elements can always be Sc
cured in more digestible form
from eggs, milk. nuts and grain.
Whore theso foods are taken in
sufficient quantity there is no pos
tive need for meat in the diet at
any time. During the early period
OF growth and the activities OF
carly manhood the need of meats
to supply protein for the growth
and replacing of tissues is much
greater than in advanced years
when growth has altogether ceased
and the rate Of replacement of
tissues is much slower. Protein is
always required for replacement of
living cells destroyed either. in
muscular work, or in growth OF
The hair and skin or in the activi-
lies of the internal organs. but the
amount of protein is far less than
the customary meat diet provides.
