Our euro Hliould not lie no much to live IOIIR fin to live well. Seneca. , man said : "There appears AVISE a greater desire to live long than to live well. Meas ure by man's desires , be can not live long enough ; measure by bin good deeds , and bu ban not lived long enough ; moanuro by bis evil deeds , and ho 1ms lived too long. " Mere length of days as measured by the calendar Is but a poor thing to write about. The "filling" that goes into those days Is the real measure of life. life.To To encourage a selfish and punctili ous regard for the attainment of a phenomenal span of life Is not In keep ing with the higher ideal of philosophy or science.

The degree of their sacrl flco Is out of all proportion to the cause In which It la offered up and the possi ble evasion of higher responsibility , and the reflex injury to others la often unrealized. Barring the emergencies of war and accident , there are circumstances that warrant the deliberate forfeiture of life or persistent neglect of health. It is better that the worker , whether humble breadwinner or lofty states- Copyright by Underwood & Underwood. JOHN D. nooKKFnr.L : i ; , AT SEVENTY , ON CJOI.F LINKS AX AUOUSTA , OA.

The first stop , therefore , In planning for long life in the higher meaning of the term is to acquire a sense of pro portion. What Is Old Age ? Cazalls said , "A. man Is as old as his arteries. " True enough , but far from being a definition of old age. To de fine old ago we must flrst define life. Ilcrbert Spencer tried to define llfo and succeeded admirably In some re spects , but there Is nothing in his def inition that explains why the human clock runs down In less than a cen tury instead of running for several centuries. Preparing For Old Age. Preparation Bhould begin in youth. One original observer , Charles Sedge- wicl ; Mlnot , has advanced the seeming parado'x that wo grow old faster In In fancy than in old age ; that cell change is far slower in the sixth decade of C llfo than in the flrst six months of babyhood. In/a certain physiological 1 sense this Is true. The hardened arteries at forty maybe bo the result of poor feeding , lack of physical training , improper breathing habits and deficient oxygeuatlon dur ing childhood. Give the child a fair start in the race. This Is far better than to devise dnigs and potions for the relief of the maladies of maturity and old age. The Effects of Life Strain. It Is true that long life is often a matter of the quality of-one's "tub- Ins. " The diseases that are responsi ble for Uio larger part of the death rate after middle llfo are of the degen erative class , involving the heart , blood vessels and kidneys. Indeed , where one of the conditions exists the others usually arc present to a greater or lesser degree. These conditions may bo duo to nerve strain aiTectlng the heart and arteries or to the circulation In the blood of poisonous principles , the products of Indigestion and Insufficient combustion. In fact , these troubles are usually the result of Intemperance In eating , drink ing , working or playing. Degenerative Diseases. A most commendable and enthusi astic campaign Is being waged against tuberculosis and other infectious dis eases , but deaths from heart disease , kidney trouble , paralysis , etc. , oxelto no comment and are taken as a mutter of course. The death rate from tuber culosis has been reduced about CO per cent in the past thirty years , while during that f-amo period the death rate In this United States registration area from diseases of heart , blood vessels and kidneys baa Increased 10.r > per cent. Thla is n nut to crack for well meanIng - Ing people who shut their eyes to all that N unpleasant and sinister in our civilization and hug the thought that the world Is necessarily growing better every day. The mean duration of life has un doubtedly greatly Increased In the past century , but the Increase is duo to the lowering of the death rate among young people. After middle lifo there has been a decided Increase In the death rale. At least the evidence avail able In this country warrants this be lief. No such Increase Is shown by British statistics until the age of sixty- flvo is reached. The "high cost of living" may be a factor in that the struggle for exist ence is harder and Involves more strain. I am Inclined to the belief , however , that too much prosperity is a much more potent cause of the high mortality nt the advanced ages. The amount of food that la wasted in the average American family la ap palling , and this surplus of nutrition , combined with the strenuous llfo and Intemperate habits fostered by our rapidly developing and complex civ ilization , may well account for the re grettable Increase In the mortality from degenerative diseases. Principles of Prevention. Aa I have already suggested , a good start in childhood thrice arms a man against those degenerative affections. Cut tlio strongest constitution in ma turity may yield to abuse , and the tlmo Is coming when the man who throws away the splendid asset of sound health will be looked upon as a social enemy. Since the degenerative affections that lead to premature old ago are the result of Intemperance , using the term In its broadest sense , temperance , also used In its widest sig nificance , Is the keynote of prevention. Importance of Exercise , Aa middle life approaches and there la n slowing down of the vital activi ties a disinclination for exercise often develops. This Is to a certain extent normal. The man of forty who at' tempts to keep up with football , base ball or even tennis is taking heavy chances. The strain on heart and ar teries may lead to chronic changes more than counterbalancing tbo bcno- lit from exercise. Hut with the aban donment * of active sports and with neg lect to exercise there is often nn in crease in the amount of food and stimulants taken , and with Increasing business care or social activities the "furnace becomes clogged. " It is Important , therefore , to preserve - servo a proper balance in these things. Slow down in the matter of strenuous competitive exercise , but get enough exercise to burn up your food and pre vent the accumulation of fat and food poisons. Slow down in the matter of diet and do not let the pleasures of the table tempt you to gradually increased In dulgence In rich food as the more ac tive pleasures of life are relinquished. Golf , billiards , hill climbing , huntIng - Ing , fishing , arc all beneficial forms of exercise which may be Indulged far into old age. Alcohol In Old Age. It used to bo thought that wine was a good stimulant in old age , but the wisest physicians now pronounce ! against this view. There is no sound physiological reason why alcohol should be beneficial in old age , and In clinical practice It is found to be In jurious. How the feeble tissues of the aged can bo benefited by a cell poison like alcohol It Is difficult to conceive. Value of Bathing. Regular bathing , preferably the cool 1 shower or plunge , by keeping up n good skin action relieves tlio heart and kidneys of extra work and favors the maintenance of a normal tension In the blood vessels. Danger of Constipation. Mctchnlkoff believes that the ab sorption of toxic matter from the large intestines Is an important influence in causing old age. IIo suggests the use of sour milk or a preparation of the bacilli which cause milk to become sour to combat the microbes that in fest the large intestines. Some painstaking experiments have been made along this line , but the ro- suits thus fur are negative. However , buttermilk and other sour milk preparations are healthful and may be tried , especially where there is constipation or intestinal fermenta- tlon. All natural means should bo tried to prevent constipation by avoid ance of concentrated meat diet and by the use of fruit , spinach or other green vegetables , water between meals , ex- ercise of abdominal muscles , etc. A Would Bo Widow.

In some corner of tbo world an oil propelled battleship is now being built. Heretofore all reports of the building of the battleship have been denied , but Dr. Diesel confirmed the rumors before the conference of the London Institu tion of Naval Architects. He said , however , that bo was not at liberty to give details. Dr. Diesel Is the Inventor of an oil engine. He swld that fully 250 ships , naval and commercial , are now fitted or are bolnu fitted with oil engines. If the f,000 ) ton cargo ship now being constructed in Hamburg proven a suc cess , Dr. Diesel said , there would be a general tendency toward the adop tion of oil as a motive power for nil kinds of vessels , including warshlws. A Rock Pile Recommended. "Hock pile , " "chain gang" and other recommendations are made to Norfolk by county and railroad authorities who took part Thursday afternoon in driving out of this city several tramps who have Infested the railroad yards nt the Junction. As the result of the police efforts , C. M. Kerns , known in police circles as "Mike , " is behind the cars of the Norfolk jail. With him is a character known by authorities as "Charley. " Alike was arrested In Omaha last fallen on suspicion , In connection with the Meadow Grove bank robbery. Sheriff Smith brought him to Madison In irons , but Mike proved an alibi. He was arrested here yesterday and in held for investigation. Alike with a "pal" ' have been stopping for pome time at Niobrara , selling cheap jew ' elry. Last week they sent $5 to a St. Louis firm and received a shipment of these trinkets which they sold out In this vicinity. No charges have yet been filed against Mike , but Sheriff Smith declares he is a smooth crook and never makes a haul which amounts to over , § 30. Mike's pal seemed surprised when the officers , led by Mayor Smith , sur rounded the hobo camp near the Junc tion and told him Mike bad been tak en in. Only Two Guns. "We didn't sell any jewelry In this town , " said the "pal. " "Mike and I wore drinking together at Niobrara. " The Norfolk authorities were noti fied that a gang of seventy-five tramps were taking charge of a wooded spot near the railroad yards and that many cases of beer were being brought to the place. One drayman reported that he had taken six cases of beer to the camp and that the members of the jang marked a "dead line. " No one was allowed to go over this line. The Norfolk police waited until 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon for Slier iff Smith , and that official took charge of affairs. The sheriff brought with him a large touring car and the man hunters pilot Into this to make the trip to the camp Louis Dudley was then employed to follow the hunters to the camp will his bus and the hunt was commenced Arriving at the Junction roundhouse workmen became excited at the appearance pearanco of the sheriff and they 1m mediately reported Hint only twenty- live tramps had possession of the camp. The machine was loft at the roundhouse and the journey to the camp , a spot about flvo blocks south- twest , of the roundhouse , was made on foot. foot.Tho The report of twenty-five men gave the officers some cause to make ai Inventory of the armed forces , and 1 was found that but two revolvers , Urn of the sheriff and Night Patrolmai O'Brien , Enrl Ray was put In posses , sion of the sheriff's " " "hilly" and the ad- vnnce was begun. When the hunters reached the edge of the woods they were joined by Conslablo Pinklioiise , who displayed a revolver , Injecting more courage into the advance party The smoke of the camp rtro was soon sighted and In skirmish line the man- liuntcra surrounded the camp which , however , contained but flvo well de veloped tramps. One of the party was ono armed and ho had very little to say , with the exception of telling the sheriff ho was ready to leave the city Immediately. The men wore In the net of cooking the meal. Were Cooking Dinner. "It's both bieakfast and dinner , marshal , " explained ono of the men. who later exposed an empty beer keg. which ho dcelaiou had been "finished" the night before. After being searched the men were told to finish their meal and leave the city. The "meal" filled a large , dirty looking lard can , and tea a spectator looked very unappetl/.lng. 'It's beef , spuds and tomatoes , " ex plained ono of the "hoes , " who was very talkative. Plenty of good looking In pad and breakfast rolls were In evidence' , and pointing to an empty bottle , the talk- tlvo ono again explained , "wo wouldn't ho eating this if wo had plenty of that. " "That" was n quart of alcohol which was disposed of by the tramps Wednesday night. The explanation was made when the men wore accused of debauching and drinking six cases of beer. Sheriff Smith nmdo a thorough search of the vicinity , but was unable to find the other tramps. He was , however , assured that the ether mon were at p < i > me other spot near the city. Northwestern Detective .lolly reached the camp just before the authorities were leaving and joined them in a search in other parts of ( hat vicinity. "Norfolk should have a rock pile , " said the detective to the sheriff. "Wo arrested sixteen of these tramps at Fremont Wednesday night and this morning they were busy on the streets and the rock pile. They are very much afraid of Fremont on that ac count and very seldom visit that city. " The last seen of the five hoboes was when they wore walking toward Hal- tle Creek. They were later joined by two other tramps , ono carrying a grip. 25 Hoboes Campel Out. Sheriff Smith and the entire Norfolk pollco force left at I o'clock Thursday afternoon In automobiles and other conveyances for the hobo camp south of the Junction , where they expected to round up all the seventy-live hoboes making themselves undesirable In that portion of the city. Sheriff Smith be lieved that among these hoboes would be some for whom the authorities of various cities are searching. Only five tramps were found and liey declared they had just reached lie city. Tlio ollicers found a large eer keg which one of the tramps ad- iiltted was emptied last night , Be- ides this beer several bottles of al- ohol had been disposed of. The o fil ers believe there arc about twenty- Ivo oilier men In the woods in this Icinity and are making a vigorous earch for them. Out of about twenty live hoboes , vlio are making their annual stop at he hobo camp near the Junction , two vere arrested yesterday , but the oth- rs are having some glorious times Irlnking and grafting. Yesterday a ( frayman was employed o haul several cases of beer to this amp , but when he reached a spot vithin about twenty yards of the head- inarters ho was ordered to stop and he members of the tribe exerted liemselvcs enough to carry the beer o camp. They did not want the dra > nan to see what was going on. The tramps are not of the ordinary quality , so often seen in this city. They have plenty of money , it seems , ind are well supplied with shoes , and lew clothing which they are selling at 'cut prices. " Suits of fairly good clothes are being sold at $ l."iO per and he receipts are invested in fiiewater. Wednesday night botli Patrolmen O'Brien and Livingstone admitted that : here were about seventy-five of these nen camped .it the Junction and that they were "grafting" Norfolk people. "Patrolman Kennedy will have his lands full at the Junction , " said Pa trolman Livingstone. "There are ibout seventy-live hoboes there and they are getting plenty to drink. They mve plenty of money and are selling clothing. " Patrolman O'Brien declared last night that Sheriff Smith would he no tified and a raid on the camp be made. "Norfolk an Easy Place.
