Prolonging Life Of late years a great deal has been done to improve the condition of children. Societies for conserving the health of babies thrive in almost every community that has responded at all to the trend of the times. Young persons are urged to eat with care and to pay particular attention to regular exercise and sleep. Insurance companies have taken steps to conserve the health of their policy holders. Cities have endeavored through the medium of increased hospital facilities to take better care of the health of their citizens. Sports, such as golf and tennis, which take persons out of doors and can be played mildly or strenuously, according to the age and temper of the player, were never more popular than the- are today. The health of school children has .n late years come to be regarded as a part of the problem of educating them. All these activities make for the prolongation of life, of course, but the person who is already old has been neglected in the rush to serve youth. A group of New York physicians has lately undertaken a project designed to arouse interest in the diseases that cut short the lives of persons of

advanced years, and to suggest remedies that will relieve the anxiety with which people regard the prospect of old age. They have formed the Geriatric Society of New York. The name is derived from the word "geratology," which, according to the dictionary means "the scientific study of decadence and its prenomena, especially as exhibited in groups nearing extinction." The founders call attention to the circumstance that by means of a vigorous publicity campaign and the work of various societies, composed chiefly of women and physicians, the death rate among children has been greatly reduced. It was formerly reckoned that one-half of the children born into the world died before they reached the age of five, whereas it is now figured that only about one-fourth of them die in their first five years. By spreading information about the care of the body during its declining years the society expects to accomplish some change in the death rate of elderly persons. Undoubtedly there are a great many men in this country who invite premature old age by neglecting their health during the years when their power is at its height. It has been charged, and not without truth, that Americans can not rest. They can work and amuse themselves until they become exhausted, and then sleep, but they can not relax. There never was a people more conscientious about work than the American people. But when the power that enables the average American to work hard begins to fail, he becomes easily discouraged. In a way he feels that he has been cheated. He has looked forward to old age with a feeling that it would bring opportunity to do many things for which he had no time during his busy years, and often one of the

things he has no time for is adequate rest. But there is still hope for him if he will take proper care of himself. Indianapolis News.

CENTERVILE, Aug. 7 The August meeting of the Christian Women's

Board of Missions was held here, with the president, Mrs. Thomas Eliason,

in the chair.

"Gospel for all Nations" was the principal topic of the day and was

freely commented upon.

A short story of noted Bible women

was given in an interesting and in

structive manner by the following

members:

Vashti Mrs. Leroy Kimmel

This is the concluding article on munitions shipments, re-printed from "Comfort" at the request of a reader. Perhaps the action which Germany rejuests, if pursued by our government, might accomplish the predicted results; but how would it be brought about, and what would be the consequences for which we should be responsible? In answer let me give you the following statement by Mr. Bryan clipped from his address "To the German Americans" published on June 11, after his retirement from the Cabinet. Mr. Bryan said: "The fact that the administration has received more criticism from German-Americans that from those in sympathy with the Allies is due to the fact that, while both sides are at liberty, under international law, to purchase ammunition in the United States, the Allies,' because of their control of the seas have the advantage of being able to export it. It is unfortunate that partisan supporters of Germany should have overlooked the legal requirements of the situation and have thus , misunderstood the position of the administration. The administration's position has not only been perfectly neutral, but it could not have been otherwise without a palpable and international violation of the rules governing neutrality. This government is not at liberty to materially change the rules of international law during the war because every change suggested is discussed not upon its merits as an abstract proposition, but according to the effect it will have upon the contest. Those who wanted to lay on embargo upon the shipment of arms defended their position on the ground that it would hasten peace, but it is strange that they could have overlooked

the fact that the only way in which such action on our part could hatsen peace j terest manifested by its members.

would have been by helping one side to overcome the other. Last fall a statement, purporting to have emanated from an authoritative German source, was published to the effect that if the United States would htop the shipment of arms and ammunition to the Allies the Germans would

be able to capture Paris within sixty days and end the war in their own way and to their own satisfaction. But as Mr. Bryan, whose earnest and sincere interest in promoting peace

cannot ne aouDtea, nas pointed out, we have no right to bring about peace by changing the law of nations so as to help one side conquer the other. As neutrals, we have no right to pass judgment on the merits of their quarrel nor to help or hinder either side by closing our markets. Without criticism the propriety of the enormously expensive preparation for war which Germany has 1 een making for years past, I will simply remark the obvious fact that nations .i gain st which she is fighting certainly had a right to ignore these war preparations and rely on providing themselves with arms by purchasing from neutrals, in case they should need them, in time of war, and we have no moral riht to spring a trap on them, now that their time of need has come. ' Apply it also to our own situation. We are and always have been woefully : eglectful of the needs of national defense. Shall we intensify the danger resulting from our unpreparedness by adopting a rule that would deprive us of the right, on which we have always relied, of buying from abroad arms and pmmunition necessary to defend ourselves when attacked? War is inhuman and militarism is a domestic curse and a foreign menace War and militarism should be abolished, but so long as any nation menaces the rest of the world with its militarism it would be the most inhuman polic-

Have you ever thought of the men

who failed to take fortune at its flood? The world is full of them.

There is a man today, ending his

old-age in Cape Town, who, a genera

tion ago, refused to pay $25 for the old

homestead under which the treasure of

the Klmberley mine was discovered

a mine which yielded in a few years $100,000,000. And not long ago another man died

penniless in Johannesburg who declined to buy the barren acres spread

over, the De Beers mine for $15,000, a

purchase which would later have produced the income of nearly $10,000,000

a year. The famous bi:-Rame hunter. F. C

Selous, recalls the days when he might have bought for $5 an acre as much as he pleased of the South African veldt under which, though no one then dreamt it, hundreds of millions of gold were lying hidden. One single acre would have made him rich. Similar instances of fortunes lost fill the gold field story of California. In the theatrical world many simi

lar stories of missed fortunes are told. Thus, in its early years of struggle, a modest $500 was refused for "Rip Van Winkle." a play which yielded $5,000,000 after Joseph Jefferson assumed the title role; and in its infancy "The Old Homestead," which for a dozen years produced $20,000 a year, could find no purchaser for $1,500. Many a manager turned his hack on "Our Boys" before its author, H. J. Byron was thankful to sell it outright for $1,500 to a purchaser who made $400,000 out of it in four years. "Charley's Aunt," a gold mine which has yielded hundreds of thousands, was declined by a dozen managers, and "Dorothy," after a chorus of refusals, was sold for a ridiculous sum, and soon made $20,000 a month. More remarkable still is the story of that famous play, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," which is said to have produced over a million, and at which, before it leaped into fame, no one would look. Similar stories are told of scores of books which have yielded rich har

vests after being turned away from a dozen or more publishers doors.- j

"Vanity Fair" was "declined with thanks" by a score of houses, before its merits were at last recognized. No 1 ublisher would look at "Uncle Tom's Cabin" until Mr.Jewett on his wife's recommendation, was induced at last to give it a trial. Even the author's husband. ProfesBO Stowe, had such a poor opinion of it that he said: "I shall be well pleased if Harriet gets a good black silk dress out of it." "Tom Jones," "Sartor Resartus." and Kinglake's charming "Eothen,"

are among the scores of gold-winning

books which were similarly cold shouldered by one publisher after an

ether. "Lorna Doone" suffered half a dozen rejections before a publisher at

last took pity on it; "Mr. Barnes of

New York" was scorned by every pub'

lisher to whom it was offered: and Miss Marie Corelli"s "Romance of Two Worlds" wandered about hopelessly among the publishingfirms.

HAPPILY MARRIED

Mme. Beatrice Goldie. Prominent club women agree with the vote of the Harvard Summer school girls that twenty-five was about the right age for a girl to marry. The question of money proved to be more difficult. Figures as low as $1500 a year and as high as $10,000 showed

what the family pocket book should be. The Radcliffe girls made an average of $2,000. "Those college girls have the right idea," Mme. Beatrice Goldie, president of the Made in America club said with emphasis. "Any woman knows that it is desperately hard work to make $2,000 a year spread over the wants of two people. "Selecting a husband means selecting his pocketbook. Love flies out of the window pretty fast when the grocery and rent man have to alternate every month waiting for their bill. "Girls make a big mistake in ignoring material things when they select the man they mean to live with the rest of their lives."

UNLESS RAIN STOPS WHEAT WILL SUFFER EATON, O., August 6. Although thus far it is insignificant, a heavy

damage to the wheat crop in Preble I county will result unless the frequent j rains of the last two or three weeks ! terminate shortly. The only effect now!

shown is the bleached condition of the grain, but leading agriculturalists say this does not hurt its price. Threshing has been greatly delayed and a large percent, of the entire crop is yet in the field. According to I. M. Biddinger, progressive farmer and institute lecturer, this year's tobacco crop in Preble county will be the poorest in many years. Trouble experienced with plants and effects of rains which followed, proved a serious handicap to its growth. Biddinger predicts the greatest corn crop the county has ever produced.

BY KITTY CAROTHERS. Young persons should not be censured if they take a wholesome interest .in members of the opposite sex. As mating is one of the most absorbing and important missions in life, it is quite natural that the earlier years should be devoted largely to courtship. Older persons sometimes forget the days of their own youth, and believe indications that a young many enjoys the company and conversation of

women prove him to be fickle. They hold the same opinion of girls. When life is full of, love and friendship, the heart is singing all the day. The thoughts are flooded with visions of another. This being so the young man or woman is inclined to make confidants of many persons. Here is where a great mistake is made. The young should use careful discrimination in selecting a person in whom to confide. There are many jealous, narrow souls, whose fiendish delight is to wreck friendships and possible happy marriages. Because

their own lives are unhappy they try to ruin incipient romances by insidious means. Under the cloak of friendship they carry tales of infidelity which breed trouble and quarrels. So in confiding tender speeches of admirers and plans for the future to friends, be sure that they are real friends, and not sheep in wolves' skins.

BY DAINTY DOLLY. After I had put clean papers on the shelves in the kitchen cupboard this morning, had seen that the front and back porches were scrubbed, tidied up the downstairs a bit and changed the furniture about in one of the upstairs bedrooms, I was too tired to give much attention to our, recipes today. I found that my scrapbook came in handy. Here is what I hastily copied: Mexican Salad. Cut one alligator pear in half, remove the pit and pare it. Fill it with heavy mayonnaise, to which plenty of chopped walnuts have been added to make it thick. Lay on white lettuce leaves and garnish with segments of grapefruit, and heap some mayonnaise in the center.
