part in 100000, and It was so eX-

discovered near ElizabcthviIle, Bel

You look very thoughtful, Pad

Paddy nodded Slowly and gravely.
"Yes Peter, | have a great deal on

with curiosity as usual,
"A most important matter" re-
piled Paddy.

Peter. What is it,"

time enough to think OF winter

Now, honestly, don't you think so?'
Paddy shook his head most de-
cidedly. That may be all right for

me or mine. II We waited until then

such chances as that. l know there

very hard at Peter as he said this,
but Peter only grinned. Then Paddy
turned his back on Peter and walk
ed out on his dam, where he sat
tor some time looking down the
Laughing Brook.

Most people seem to think that
the members of the Squirrel family
are the most thrifty OF the little peo-
pie of the Green Forest. But this
isn't true. There are other people
quite as thrifty as Happy Jack
Squirrel or any of his cousins. Prob
ably it is because Happy Jack and
Chattercr the Red Squirrel and
Striped Chipmunk are seen moro
often than the others that they have
been so long looked upon as the
thriftiest Of all animals. But there
is one Of the little people of the
Green Forest who begins TO think
about and plan for the future long
before Happy Jack Squirrel gives
so much as a thought TO the matter
of a winter store of food. This Is
Paddy the Beaver.
The members Of the Squirrel
family seldom think about winter
supplies until acorns and nuts and
seeds are ripe. Then they work
hard and fast for a short time, But

vista OF enchantmcnt TO the aged.
With its Kaleidoscope changes OF
program, radio offers diversion
which is hygienically helpful. One
should not, however, go to the eX-
treme Of keeping late hours, even for
Interesting radio programs.
Many Of the problems connected
with the hygiene of old age are due
to lowered mental power. Old peo-
pie regard their condition as far less
serious when fully dressed and out
Of bed. Under these conditions th'
cxcretory organs function more sat
Iisfactorily. However, when an elder
" person complains OF being over
tired, or otherwise not physically fit,
rest in bed for day is advisable.
Special attention should also be
/ paid TO proper clothing, diet and en-
ercise of the elderly. Inasmuch as
body heat decreases after the age of
40, exercise is required to provide
some Of the deficiency. An English
physician who recently reached the
age OF 95 years advocates and prac-
tees daily walk In the open, re-
gardless Of the weather. He eau
tons, however, against exercising to
the point Of fatigue.
The circulation Of the aged being
less vigorous, the effects of sudden
changes OF temperature should be
guarded against. Clothing should be
warm. though not unnecessarily
heavy, During cold weather the air
of homes should he comfortably
warmed and adequately Inundated.
Tho digestive powers of the elder
ly are less vigorous and there is not
as great a demand for body fuel as
in earlier years, When a person past
so years of age continues TO consums
abundant breakfasts. substantial
lunches and heavy dinners he is in
cyitably shortening his life.
The principal features Of a proper
diet in old age include: First d.
minished quantity OF food; second,
the ingcstion of food at more fire.
quent intervals and in smaller
quantities, and, third, the use of
easily digestible food which does not
produce either too large or too small
a residue of waste matter. Persons
of advanced age are invariably lean
have partakcn moderately OF food
aud drink in earlier life and as a
rule have eaten relatively little meat
in later )ifc and, let us repeat, the
foundation for n happy and comfort
able old age is laid during the active
earlier period Of life.

Your Health
How to Keep It
Causes of Illness
BY DIR. HUGH S. CUNNING
Surgeon General, United States
Public Health Service

The, approach Of old age is right
ly viewed with considerable appre-
henSion.
1t Is difficult to define old age.
Some are old at 60. While others arc
mentally andsphysically alert at 50.
Even the psalmist's three score and
ten years" have been accepted too
literally.
The "too-old alto" gospel has not
helped to dispe1 this idea, 1t is often
said that "a woman is as old as she
looks, while man is as old as he
feels"
The definition popular among
medical men that "a man is as old
rs his arteries" is probably better
criterion of age. The premature
hardening Of arteries. often due to
avoidablo Infections, improper diet,
and possibly worry and strain. is to
a considerable extent preventable.
There is too much Of a tendency
among persons reaching certain
age 10 persuade themselves that they
have reached the last page of the
book of life. At this point they
seem to think that both mental and
physical activities should be reln-
quishod. The contrary viewpoint
should hold.
Efforts should be made 10 preserve

Farmers TO Be

Expert Advic e

More moncv is lost by farmers ir
California by improper irrigation
methods than by any other single
factor according TO J. p. Brown.
extension specialist in irrigation Of
the University Of California and
the United States department Of
agriculture who comes to Imperial
Valley next week to give Il series Of
field lectures and demonstrations ON
proper irrigation practice which have
been arranged by the farm adYis-
or's office.
In discussing this subject before
4 group Of citrus growers recently,
Brown pointed ont that plant re
mires proper temperature, air, food
and moisture conditions for success
ful growth, and that all Of these
conditions can be modified by pro-
per or improper irrigation. Hence
il becomes q matter Of the very
greatest importance for farmers to
know exactly what is the condition
Of the moisture surrounding the
roots Of the plants they are grow
ing.
Surveys made by the farm advis-
or office of most Of the important
crops Of the valley have shown Il
tremendous variation in the
amounts, times and methods of ap-
plication Of water, according to

Freak Cousin of

Curiosity at Zoo

san DIEGO, May 12.-Among
the collection of strange animals
recently added to "zoo' at Balboa
Park is a freak cousin of the porcu-
pine. The new member of the 700
family halls from Old Mexico and
was brought back by DIR. Harry
Wegeforth, along with a number of
other exhibits from the ncighbor-
ing country. The Mexican "Pork -
is true disciple of the Nolstead
act, as he was never known to take
a drink, even of water.
In some ways he resembles the
opossum, as he sleeps while sus-
pended head down by his tail. Then
too, he has slick black coat which
conceals his clusters of spikes un-
til he is attacked and needs them
for defense.
Included in the collection brought
home by Doctor WegcfOrth are a
number of bright plumaged birds,
some turtles and an eight foot GRO
codile, all of which are now making
their home at the ZOO and appar

Valuation In
San Diego Has
Jumped Greatly

san DIEGO, May 12.-Property
valuation in San Diego has increas-
ed $6,000,000 during the past year,
according 10 figures just made pub
lie by II. L. Moody, city auditor.
The increase is due to extensive
building construction during the
year. The total valuation this year
is fixed at $120,000,000, against
$114,000,000 year ago.
Owing to the fact that there are
n number of large items to be tax
en- care of with the tax money this
year, it is not expected the coun-
ell will change the present $500
rate. While the last fiscal year was
closed with surplus of $1s0,000, it
is thought it will be necessary to
collect at the old rate, if the obli-
cations of the city during 1925 are
to be met promptly.
