man , should be spared to work long
and under proper restraint and polso
than that his llfo should bo burned
up prematurely in feverish and often
misdirected clVort.
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.

- FLYNN KNOCKS OUT KAUFMAN.

Punishment A Bloody Battle.
Kansas City , Mo. , Alay C. With a

Never before In his career had Kauf
man suffered such punishment. Eight

did the giant California ! ! take tlio
count of nine and after each knockdown -
down ho saved himself from an Imino-

Ihoso ho calls extremists la in this :
Ho would not have patents bring Into

OIL PROPELLED BATTLESHIP.
One Being Built Secretly , Dr Diesel
Tells Naval Architects.
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.

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. "
One tramp declared Norfolk is dub
bed among his class as an "easy
place. " A number of persons have
been stopped and asked for the price
of a "feed , " and in ono case , the loaf
ers had enough nerve to enter a gents'
furnishing store and demand a pocket
handkerchief. Taking pity on one , a
stoic clerk took him to a restaurant
and paid for a good meal. There Is
plenty of rock in the city hall yard
which could be converted Into a rock
pile.
