NO ABSENTEE BALLOTS
THIS YEAR

It does not seem to be generally
understood that there can be no
votes cast at the New Jersey gen
eral Election this year by means
of Absentee Ballots. The County
Clerk calls attention to the fact
that the legislature by amendment
to the Election laws passed last
year made it necessary for any
one who wants to vote to go to the
polls in person.
There will be no Absentee Bal

to quote some rules of health that
were the fruit of the ripe expert
ence of men of note who had lived
long enough and well enough for
their views to have weight. Among
them was Plutarch's advice to
'eat. but not to safety: labor, but
not to WEAKNESS: keep In nature"
/ don't know what Plutarch had
i'm mind when he wrote Sin nature
but I take the phrase to be equiv
alent to the gospel of the simple
life that was urged on us not 50
many years ago. As to the mean
ing of his other phrases, there is
no doubt even to our modern mind.
In his aphorisn, and in all the
others that have come down to
US. there is apparent one constant
idea that underlies all diversity OF
expression, the idea of modera-
ton.
It is obvious that we of this
generation love an appearance of
BUSINESS. We pride ourselves on
our strenuosity; we even claim to
find in ceaseIess activity our main
JOY in living. Disregarding the
question if a religion of motion is
generally accepted as an adequate
philosophy of life, it is clear that

speed and high pressure living are
at least the fashion.
The results are clear to the med
ical observer. On every hand he
sees health impaired by chronic
fatigue; disease and premature
death induced by strain; mental
disorder made manifest by over,
effort; and early decay brought
on by recourse to over-eating for
stimulation. To show the price we
pay for speed: 240 steps per min
ute require liters of oxygen; 280
steps, "a liters. Thus, in order to
increase our speed II per cent, we
must expend 800 per cent more
energy. 1t is the pace that kills.
So, while the doctrine of deeds
has merit, and while much Of our
activity may arise in the plausible
belief that we cannot have too
much of things that are good,
hard experience is showing US the
perils latent in such course. In
deed, it may well be that in re-
spect to food, play, work and
perhaps even virtue-our motto
should be too little rather than
too much. For it seems to be still
true that ''all things in excess
bring troubles to men"

We Arc Growing Younger.


We are a younger people than we
were fifty years ago. The proper
ton of babies to the total population
has increased. The proportion of NOR
tality has increased. The prcportiono Of
old age has diminished. So says the
United States census of 1900. OF
the babies that are born, three now
reach the age Of five for every two
that reached it fifty years ago. In
FAINT mortality has diminished but old
age mortanty has Increased. Since
1890 the Increase of the death rate
from so to ga is Z per cent; from
So to SO, 67s per cent; from 70 to
~, l61s per cent; from rs to 70, Z
per cent; from 80 to ga, Is per cent;
from IS to SO, IL per cent; from 80
to "a, 301a per cent; from 95 up,
2015 percent. That is the record
that Or. John v. Shoemaker CLEANS
from the census of 1890, and cor
reefs by later information secured
from Washington. So we died ear
lier than our grandparents did. The
reason suggested for it is that larg-
err proportion of weaklings survive
infancy and that life is more lux
urious, aand the nervous strain Of
it greater than it use to be.

Lightning is Queer.

Some curious freaks were display
ed by the lightning during a recent
great storm In England.
In Alnwick an old man and woman
were sitting at dinner when flash
of lightning struck their house. 1t
came through to the dining room be-
tween them, then made for gun in
the corner of the room, which it
smashed to atoms, and finally went
to the earth through the door. Meth
er of the two occupants were hurt.
In another case the lightning came
down the chimney, bringing bricks
and mortar on to the top of small
boy who was playing in front of the
fire. It went across the room kill
ing a dog that was under the table
and out of the door. The boy was
unhurt.
In appealing for help for the suf-
ferers from the storm the Rev. A. A.
Hancock, rector of Little Stughton,
st. Neots, writes. Scarcely win
dow pane which met the force of the
storm remains unbroken. The eff
feet Of the bombardment for it was
nothing less, was terrible. One end
OF the village presents almost the APP
pearance of battlefield. Crops are
ruined, the wheat, barley, oats and
beans, just ready to reap, were lit

ly an ear retaining any grain"
