HOW TO LIVE LONG.
fat Sparingly and as Life Waaes Bat
Still .More Bparlnely.
Tlint most men dig tlielr grave with
their teetU bns seldom been pointed out
more forcibly tlmn In done In the Cen
tury In nn nrtlcle by ltoger 8. Tracy,
entitled "How to Live Long." The
threescore nnd ten limit to bumsn life
Is prououueed a fnllncy. Deatb from
old nge, occurring nt serenty-flve or
eighty, Is a misnomer. Comparative
physiologists, we are told, bare set tbe
nnturul years of man st lUOfeven
sometimes at 130, and tbe renson wby
the overwhelming majority full short
of normnl life Is comprised In one sen
tencewe all eat too much. He, then,
who would live to be old, retaining
sight, bearing and some digestion, not
relinquishing the power of healthy en
joyment, bos but to follow a simple
rule. Eat sparingly. Refrain from
clogging tbe system by an oversupply
of food. Never entirely satisfy the ap
petite, and make It a bablt occasionally
to omit a meal or two altogether.
'If I were to assign any one thing as
especially conducive to long life from
a study of the habits of centenarians.
It would be semlstsrvatlon," says one
authority quoted, and tbe example Is
cited of one Lulgl Cornaro, who, hav
ing lived tbe pnee that kills, amended
bis ways when death threatened and
so reorganized bis enfeebled body by a
life of temperance and restraint that
be lived to be 100, although the doctors
bad given him up at forty. In middle
life, from thirty-five to forty-five, ac
cording to Dr. Tracy, there comes a
waning of the powers. Tbe effects of
overindulgence in eating or drinking
re no longer vigorously thrown off as
In youth. If tbe fact Is not recog
nised and the same habits are kept
up as heretofore, there Is trouble
ahead. Hut If the Individual adopts a
new reglmeo of diet, diminishes bis
meals and regulates bis existence ns
becomes bis soberer years a sort of
rejuvenation follows, and If at tbe sec
ond climacteric, occurring somewhere
between sixty and seventy, there Is a
further pull up in the food supply,
regulated by the slackening powers of
assimilation, a hale old age Is extreme
ly likely to ensue.
HEALTH RULES.
clean and cheerful house makes a
happy borne.
Rlxe early, retire early and fill your
day with work.
Frugality and sobriety form the best
elixir of longevity.
Cleanliness prevents rust; the best
cared for machines last tbe longest
Water and bread maintain life; pare
air and sunshine are Indispensable to
health.
Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthenx; too much sleep softens
and eufeeblcs.
Cheerfulness makes love of life, and
love of life Is balf of health. On the
contrary, ssdness and discouragement
hasten old ago.
Tbe nilud Is refreshed and Invigorat
ed by detractions and amusement, but
abuse of them leads to dissipation aud
dissipation to vice.
To be sensibly dressed Is to give free
dom to one's movements and enough
warmth to be protected from sudden
changes of temperature.
Ills Self SaorlSrinsr Dlspoaltloa.
"There Isn't anything my boy Wil
liam won't do to oblige a friend if be
likes blm." Mrs. Hockufus was saying.
"We bad a leg of lamb the other day
for dinner, aud Willie ate till I thought
he'd burst, but when he went out to
play ten minutes afterward a neigh
bor's boy told blm they were going to
bave roast goose for dinner at their
house and asked him to go and eat
with blm. Willie didn't want to be
uncivil, so be went along, and just as
sure as I'm sitting here he pretended
be was hungry and ate more of that
roast goose than tbe other boy did!"
Chicago Tribune.
Bssr Coins Bntcber,
The Kunsas City Journal tells of a
Kansas man who went to a rural
butcher shop in Kentucky to order a
porterhouse steak. "I have just start
ed In on this beef," said tbe butcher,
"and I won't be down to the porter
bouse until about 2 o'clock." His
method was to lay balf a beef on bis
block and begin at one end and cut
along until It was gone, serving bis
customers with pieces all tbe way from
the boof to tbe neck regardless of tbelr
preference.
Difference in
Quality- M
TlinrA Is &s murh difference In duality
In spectaulus ns shoes or clolulug, but
afuir all the esseutlul part Is to bava
tliein Btted lo the eyes. Hacking, wear
Ins headaches, blurring or tailing ot the
sight, Inability to use the eyes comfort
ably for close work, tiring pains In or
over the eyeballs, Inability to withstand
strong light are all warnings that the
eyes need care. I will have all tbe ap
pliances needed for good eye work aud
will be glad to meet Just sucb at the
toiiowiug places!

THE PARACHUTE MAN.

and rloasrd to Earth.
"Come on! The bund's all ready!"
I was met with a roar of applause 88
I ran down the hotel steps. The band
blared In salute nnd the crowd opened
up for me ns I hastened. The para
chute was stretched out from tbe
straining balloon. As the man with
me snapped tbe books on the ring be
showed me where the rope hung and
told me how to pull It when cutting
loose. He was the excited one. I was
In a scmlstupor. A bitter inilirference
tilled me ns I looked at tbe u,'!y sway
ing monster which wus to bear me to
nllluence or deatb.
"Lot her go!"
With a cleaving of the air nnd a runb
of sound like the coming of a cyclone
the balloon shot upward. I ran for the
bar, grasped It nnd soared.
I tried to swlog up on tbe bar, but
the rush of the ascent straightened me
like an Iron rod. I thought my arms
would be pulled out A sickness came
over me, comparable to tho effect of
the start made by a blgb speed eleva
tor. Then tbe motion been mo mora
easy and I swung up on the bar. I
wss accustomed to gazing down from
heights and I felt no fear ns I stared
at the fading crowd. 1 could see them
waving bats and bands; could bear the
band playing; and was conscious of a
pleasant dreamy sensation nnd of a
stendy, easy rising from tho ground.
I ventured to bend a "crab" and make
a few "ankle drops." It was ns eay
as when I was only a few feet from
the ground. I glanced down again.
The crowd appeared smaller and seem
ed to be walking awny from me. I
bad commenced to drift. Now wns tbe
time to cut loose. I wlHhed that I
might stay where I was taking
chances with that limp bag of a para
chute did not look safe. But It bad to
be done.
I caught bold of tbe rope, braced my.
elf on tbe bar and gave a short, bard
pull.
Wblsh my breath left met For the
first time fenr deadly fear entered
my heart A jerk that nearly unseat
ed me, and I was again sailing pleas
antly through space.
I ventured to essay a few additional
feats, as tbe ground seemed to mors
closely approach me, and then I com
menced to calculate ns to the mnnnei
In which to strike the ground. MM
many other problems, it settled Itself.
I struck It feet first In a cornfield, win
dragged along and scratched up nnd I
came to consciousness In the orms ol '
my new manager, who wns alternately
cursing me for getting killed and bless- 1
ing me for having saved bis skin and

"Yes." he Admitted. "I've been spen 1
Ing most of my time at tho club ra

"Then you'd better stny home," sh
said, and ho did. But presently then
was the old complaint.
"You've cut down ray allowanci
again," she said.
"Yes," he admitted. "I'm spendhi
my time nt home now, and my com
pany ought to count for something."
Then she didn't know whethor to ail

Did you'ever think that rents, or rental value was as important an item of value 'in a build-
ing as the materials entering into the construction thereof, and that rents can be insured ?
We can write you a policy on the rents of your building in the same company and at a lower
rate than the building. It would pay you to investigate Rent Insurance.
