Your Health
How to Keep It,
Causes of Illness
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN
Editor journal OF the American
the Health Magazine,
Ie Health Magazine.

It is now realized that the mem
bers of some families live longer in
general than do those of others.
a person does not inherit, how
ever, any particular tendency to old
age. What he does inherit is a type
of body or a constitution which en-
ableS him to survive better than does
the average man the attacks Of in
fictitious organisms and the multitud
nous assaults on the tissues made
by bad living habits.
Raymond Pearl, the statistcian of
Johns Hopkins university school Of
hygiene, found that almost inVar-
iably persons whose parents died
past the age of so would themselves
five on an average more than twenty
years longer than the average for the
community.
In series of more than 1900 cas-
cs in which the age at death was
known of both the individuals and of
their parents, it was found that o.3
per cent lived to the age of SO when
ncithcr parent reached that; 9.S per
cent lived to so when one parent
reached that age, and 20.6 per cent
lived to 50 when both parents reach
cd that age.
DR.. II. W. Dingman has analysed
the available statistics provided by
insurance companies and other or
carnations relative to this point.
Unfortunately family records are dis
appointing, since insurance records
contain many misstatements.
He calls attention to most In
tcrcsting observation having to do
with the question as to the lon
gevity of the first born. Actually
first born children show u higher
mortality than do their brothers and
sisters. the rate being So per cent
OF deaths in the first year per 1000
living births, but only 20 per cent OF
deaths in the first year of second and
third born children. Apparently the
lessons OF the first childbirth benefit
the subsequent children.
One of the chief factors affecting
longevity is poverty in infancy. The
records show invariably that the
children of the poor die to a greater
extent and earlier than do those Of
the rich. Because Of poverty, the
former is frequently poorly nour-
ished in the period before the child
is born and this makes It difficult
for the child to get an adequate start
in life.

Dicky oGads Madge's Curiosity
About the IiucOlus

DicAy's question concerning the
IDENTITY o: Mr.. Jackson WAS a proyi-
ientia; ore. l; helped me to cover
he resentment which his disap-
proval o. my over-balancod dinner
list had given me.
His comment had betrayed that
lis disapproEal was prompted by his
lear o, what Eleanor Lincoln would
think OF our entertainment. and the
Enov;edge was not q particularly
pleasant morsel for my mental di-
-astion. But I took refuge in "a vol
uhls description Of young Mr. jack
son. Designating the fact that Lii
bar. Marion and Mr.. Vcritzeu might
arrive at any moment, l told him
of my first encounter with the
Young man with the wolfhound,
Of Eleanor IincoIn's queer behavior
upon seeing him at the local station
and Of my belief. not only that she
md the young man were old &C
Quaintanc2s, but that the dog, Fcdor,
was really her own pet which for
some reason Mr.. Jackson had pre-
Tended to posses.
Never have l had a more atten-
tive listener, DiCky's eyes did not
leave my face as ] talked, and l
saw that besides his natural interest
in so bizarre a theory as mine, his
brain was busy with some specuIa-

a. Try burning a little sulphur
in it. then closing the bung and let

Q. Why is a tail spin in an air
plane almost always fatal?
A. \ tail spin usually occurs
when the plane is climbing upward
and the motor fails. allowing the
plane to slip toward the earth tail
first. AS il falls it spins and unless
the pilot has plenty of altitude he
is unable TO right the plane in order
to volplanc safely to earth.

The TwO-Thirds Rule.
tNew York Times )


 If enough bitterness crops up in the next Democratic National Convention to refuse to give two thirds vote to a candidate who wins jority. that would suffice to prevent at the outset the change in the rule suggested by MT. Barnett the National Committeeman from Colorado II is his idea to start discussion January 8. when Democratic leaders assemble in the capital t celebrate Jackson Day, favorable to the passage of rule by the convention permitting nomina ton by majority after ten fifteen ballots.
 At present it would seem that the convention will not take the step formally; but the likel- hood is that any candidate who gets, and on the succeeding ballot holds, a majority will be nom mated by the delegates. This custom was broken at Baltimore in 1912. when Champ Clark got nc further than majority, but it was done on account of opposition to the Eastern organizations behind Clark Even then this could not have succeeded without the formidable leadership of Mir. Bryan and the available candidacy of Wood row Wilson The next convention is not likely to disclose an opposition leader with the fol lowing of Mir Bryan. Bitterness against Gov ernor Smith will unquestonably be found there, but unless a shining pillar such as Wilson pro vided in 1912 is discovered round which to rally and none such is in sght-the acrimony is bound to scatter It will probably be too thor oughly diffused to prevent the nomination of Ia candidate with steady majority.
 Each Democratic Convention, by party fiat and custom is law unto itself, and it is with lin the power of the next one to do what MT. Barnett of Colorado suggests. But if it is done it more likely Will be done in spirit instead of in letter successful light against the unit rule is more probable than against the two-thirds rule

GOV. ADAMS STOPS PICKETING.

Gov. Adams of Colorado has succeeded in steaz ping picketing in Coorado's coal mining sli.h he that was said to have been managed by l. W. agitators. We think workingmen will agree that Gov. Adams did a good and timely thing. Con servative sentiment long ago outlawed picket!ng. the general strike and few other practices that harrassed the country few years ago. me has proved that workingmen have been nor successful since they eliminated lot of radical practices Picketng and general strikes have rarely started with workingmen who work. Th y are methods through which professional str Ike agitators gain notoriety and opportunity to gyp the real workers of the country out of safarles for which they give nothing in return.

PURE BUNCOMBE.

A statement signed by pr. Clarence True Wilson, General Secretary of the Board of Tenn perance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church. a richly financed political organization, declares:
 Representative leaders of twenty-five
 million women who have been added to
 the electorate since the Eighteenth
 Amendment came into force have joined
 in the declaration of three million or
 ganized young people that NO candi-
 date not outspokenly committed to the
 Eighteenth Amendment and It's enforce
 ment have support or votes
 That illustrates what so often see when the brethren of the cloth go into politics In the first place. and Dr. Wilson has been in politics too long not to know it. no represen- tative leaders, speak for the women of the United States or for three million organized young folks In the next place 2S,00oO00 votes are 90 per cent. than were east Tor ke- publican candidates in either of the last two run-a-way Presidential elections.

SCRIPPS-HOWARD PAPERS PREPARE
 FOR CAMPAIGN.

The Scripps-Howard newspapers, or whis II there are twenty-six published in as many dif- ferent cities extending from. the New York Iele- gram in the East to the Seattle Star in the west, made an announcement defining the attitude of the group toward what it regards as the man issues of the coming campaign. and its attitude toward Presidential candidates. The statement plainly indicates opposition to Prohibition and more responsible participation in foreign ar fairs It names Herbert Hoover as the Repub- lican most suited to the Scripps-Howard platform and among Democrats it prefers former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and Gov Alfred E. Smith, with the reservation that Gov smith s attitude on international questions is still an unknown quantity.
 It's summary of the five main vital National policies is:
 Recognitin of the changed economic
 situation of this country, which re- quires that it take reasonable position
 as member of community of nations
 and consistent rather than a hap
 hazard foreign policy.
 Recognition of the fundamental char

Changing Sentiment.
(cincInnati Iinau.rer. )

rather significant change of sentiment toward Governor Smith, of New York, appears to be taking place among the leaders of the Democratic Party.
 Last week Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Mon tana, asserted at Huron, S D.. that Governor Smith is the leading Democratic Presidential pos r 'bility at present and that W. c. McAdoo IS noi an attige candidate for the nomination. Since then alr MeAdo definitely has taken himself out oi the race.
 Perhaps even glea.er significance is the tenor of reported recent interview given by Senator George w Norris, Progressive leader in Omaha Senator Norris said:

 The radical dry who is reactionary on every thing e,se will of course invoke the thundert of Anti-saloon I.eagae communication for thf Senator's christening.

 With this partial declaration of political faith on the part of the Scripps- Howard newspapers goes the plain statement that these newspapers cannot at this time be committed beyond the convention"
