Taking the Cake

Taking the Cake
 By James II. Lambert In retrospect l sage with joy On days when as lively boy, I'd raid the pantry and I'd take
 Ginger cake. Then when 10 manhood's state I
 grew And loves dream came with win
 some Sue, I yearned to have my mother bake
 Angel cake. One day the parson said; For life l now pronounce you man and
 wife" And all our friends were there to
 take Wedding cake. Quite often now we don't agree; l look at Sue, she looks at me. Hard words come tumbling n their
 wako Marble cake!

DFPEW. 0t, TELLS YOU HOW TO LIVE LONG

Chaunccy M, Depew. who will reach the age Of 91 on April 2G. has lived long enough to accumulate considerable wisdom, He is not an old man in his dotage. There is no dotage connected with 91 years when the mind is as constantly alert as that of Mir, Depew.
 Therefore, when he says that cat ing and not drinking has been and ;s the curse of America he speaks as one who has had time to make keen observations. It is very likely that most physicians will agree with him
 In an article in Golfers the veteran citizen declares he discover cd he was eating too much when 'he was this side of 60." II evidently took him long time to discover the fact, but even in the case ot Mir. Depew it was better late than never. When he found himself feel ing unwcu be simply revised his diot-and began 10 feel in the pink of condition.
 But the trouble with ordinary mortals, who haven't the will power and the capacity for self-analyzing displayed by Mir Dcpew, they find it hard to think that the palate tick lsrs they habitually indulge in can be at fault if the inner works begin to rebel. It is as hard for the aver age man to curb his appetite for good things to eat as if it is to force himself to sleep enough.
 i At 65, Depew says, he again felt unwelI, and Diff! of went the cigar habit" Such hefoic suffering brought results, but the worst was yet tc 
 come.
 At SS he had another bad day An analysis showed him that alcoho was at the seat of the trouble. Fol years he had slipped a pint of cham pagne a day. So he "cut out th' wine: and now he merely drinks glass when a cold threatens--he ad mits that right out in pubIic-bu apart from that he says he is
 total abstainer,"
 Such capacity for taking care o
 ones self has yielded the sag
 nearly 91 years of active life, Hi is an example for others 10 folio"
 but 1t will be no easy road. A noted scientist once said tha humanity commits suicide-shorten it's life span-through improper eat ing. Mir. Dcpew will agree with tn statement.
 But the cold and frisid fact is tha
 in the case of most men, if certai
 .bcy could prolong life until near 'h
 century mark by paying scienui
 attention to their diets, would col i finuc to punish their bodies W'' . constant daily oycrdoses Of Hc 2 food. And at the same time the f would indignantly deny they believe e in thr adagc of d short life and C merry ono.'

PROTECT TROLLEY PATRONS
 BY COOPERATING

While going at high speed an au- tom0bile the other day passed to the right of a trolley car which had stopped 10 let off woman passenger. The latter barely escaped being run down. The motorman of the car yelled at the automobile driver and uttered some warm imprecatlons. But the automobile sped on.
 The motorman was asked why he did not glance at tine license number of the car and report it to the au- thorties. He replied he did that once, and he was kept from work the entire morning when the case was tried, lost half a days pay and received CD cents as a witness fee.
 Here was an infraction of a basic law to prevent autoists from running down pedestrians leaving street cars, which went unpunished merely be- cause the trolley company had once virtually punished an employe for making a complaint 10 the police and becoming a witness in a court case.
 { There arc manifcstIy two methods of preventing such failure to prose- cute reckless drivers; Either the trolley company should never dock car operator for the time taken off to testify in court case, or the fees for court attendance should be more than 60 cents: the fee should at least equal the pay of a motorman during the time he is testifying.
 This matter is more important than 1t seems. It Is not only a ques- ton of docked pay for being absent at court case, or the inadequacy Of witness fees, but is a matter of injury or death for street car patrons when they have a reckless motorist to con tend with.
 Prevention of accident should bt wor,h more than the comparatively paltry sum needed to pay an occa' sional motorman 10 testify agatns foolish automobile driver; I should be worth more than the pa! of motorman for the time takel off to testify. and should be wort more than the insignificant 60 cent the city allows.
 The trolley company should co oncratc in insuring the safety of pa irons by in all cases continuing tn nay of motormcn white they ar tcs,ifyins in such cases. The to'a of money paid out in a year nnde such circumstances would be Tn significant and the company wou'dn' miss it.
 As conditions arc now a rockies autoist who passes a standing stree car realizes # is very unlikely tha the motorman will proceed agalns him. This should not be the cas- There should be certainty of prose
 cution. and the way to bring it aoou would be to make it worth while fo
 motormcn 10 do their duty by tn
 public.
 Modification Of present condition
 is largely up to the trolley compan'
 If motormen in all eases are pei
 mitted to draw regular pay whi
 testifying they will not hesitate
 bring reckless drivers to boot.
