LENGTHEN YOUR LIFE.
Add Fifteen Year® to It by Simply
Learning How to Live.
' Fifteen years Is the length of time
| one may add to his life by applying
! what is now known of personal hy
' glene. This statement was made by
the Roosevelt conservation commission
In Its report on national vitality. The
findings of the commission reversed
' the impressions of a generation ago
that the average human lifetime was a
flied allotment decreed by fate. It
I teaches now that our doom is a varla
I ble thing and that it is more or less in
our power to control.
Learning how to live is the secret of
how one may uild fifteen years to his
life, individual hygiene, or the hy
giene of personal habits, accordiug to
the commission, contains possibilities
of self improvement far beyond what
ninety-nine persons out of a hundred
have ever realized. In other words,
only 1 per cent of people today know
how to live. The other 09 per cent are
victims of improper living habits and
the customs of our boasted civilization.
They have not learned to order their
lives according to their physical needs.
They are content to tolerate bad air,
bad food, imperfect teeth, wrong pos
ture, improper clothing, constipation,
self druggiug, alcoholism and other
conditions of the average life.
The 90 per cent who have not learn
ed how to live, says the commission,
are responsible for the increase of 41
per cent hi the country's death rate
from wear and tear diseases in twenty
years. Wear and tear diseases are
said to be the byproduct of civilization. ;
not that civilization is all wrong, but
that people have not yet learned to ad
Just their habits of living to its de
mands.
STORY OF A REVIVAL HYMN.
The "Glory Song" Was Not Written For
Financial Gain.
Nothing can be more inspiring than
to hear a great congregation singing
Charles II. Gabriel's revival hymn,
kuown as the "Glory Song." It is one
of the most recent of the hymns of
its character, having made its appear
ance in 1900.
The author was born in the early
fifties of the past century, in Iowa,
and spent his earlier years on a farm
in that state. His melodies are popu
lar.
Dorinz the carlv summer of 1900,
while bicycle riding with a Chicago
publisher for whom he was at the
time preparing manuscript, he said to
bim, "I've got a song that is going to
live!" lie then gave the title of uud
made brief quotation from "O that
will be glory."
It will doubtless be of interest to
state that its author received only $10
for the copyright and sole use of it,
and this Illustrates the fact that gospel
sougs are not always written for gain.
Charles M. Alexander, the singing
evangelist of Torrey-Alexander fame,
has made the "Glory Song" famous
wherever the English language is spo
ken.
Alexander states that to his knowl
edge the "Glory Song" has been trans
lated Into at least tifteen languages
and three Indian languages.—1'etroit
Free Tress.
Thrived on Stone Diet.
The most curious of all diets Is that
of stones, lu an old volume of the
Gentleman's Magazine I read the other
day of the discovery of the stone eater
"in a northern inhabited island" by the
crew of a Dutch ship. They brought
him to France in May, 17C0, where he
was submitted to all kinds of artificial
tests. It was proved that he throve
better on stones than any other food,
and his dinner usually consisted of
large sized flints, with powdered mar
bles for dessert. He became a great at
traction at fashionable gatherings,
where he amused the guests by swal
lowing stones and afterward convinc
ing them that there was no deception
by making them rattle in his stomach.
' —Dundee Advertiser.
The Secret.
"You know that car 1 bought last
I month," began the purchaser.
"Yes. What of itV" asked the dealer,
i "Isn't it a good car?-'
"I've seen worse ones, but it comes
' a long way from !>eing what your agent
represented it to be."
"Of course it does. Why, man alive,
if our cars were as good as that we
i wouldn't need to employ agents to sell
: them."—New York World.
J A Dismal Room.
An eccentric character died in London
i a few years ago at the age of nlnety
l one. Long before his death he ordered
1 his own coffin and had It placed In his
' bedroom, which was hung, by way of
pictures, with the funeral cards of his
friends. This preparation seems to
• have had the effect of longevity on the
■ old man, for ki spite of his grewsome
foresight he lived long beyoud the
1 usual span.
^ Excusable.
I "Remember," said the floorwalker
' sternly, "the customer Is always right."
"But, 6lr," expostulated the clerk, "in
} this case 1 was exercising a privilege to
l which I am entitled."
I "What do you mean?"
k "The lady I was arguing with is my
\ wife."—Birmingham Age-Herald.
An Explanation.
J "I wonder what the author meant
(•who talked about silence that speaks."
"I guess he meant what you don't
)hear when deaf and dumb people talk."
—Baltimore American.
Everything we endure patiently Is a
; key to something beautiful we could
never enter otherwioe.
NEARLY* OUT EDITION
Through the kindness of Koy Mut<
vihill, son of the White Pass train,
dispatcher, as are again, ia receipt
of "The Morning Taps," a neat
four page paper published by the
third company of Washington Coast
artillery Btationed at Fort Har
rison, Montana, where Roy la pre
paring for service in Prance.
The edition In hand is the
"Nearly out edition." We do not
know whether this means the pa
per is about to be censored or
whether it is just hot off the press.
Yet 1st light is burning bright,
and anyone who wants to see a
typical army newspaper may set
the Taps by coming1 to the Alas
kan office, • ;
Elsewhere in the Alaskan we
print a little verse clipped from
this issue of the Taps,
WHEN' AVAR WILL END
Absolute knowledge I hare none,
But my aunt's washerwoman's sis
ter's pon
Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to a laborer on the street
That he had a letter just last week,
Written in the Ilnest Greek,
From a Chinese coolie la Tlmbuctoo
Who said the negroes In Cuba knew
Of a colored man In a Texas town
Who got it Btraglht fromi a circus
clown
That a man in Klondike heard th4
news
From a gang of South American,
Jews
About somebody in Borneo
Who heard a man who claimed to
know 1 ; 1 1
Of a swell society female fake
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove that her seventh hus
band's slater's niece
Had stated in a printed piece
That she had a son who has a
friend
That knows when the war is going
to end.—Taps. '
WHEN YOU HAVE FISH.
How to Test and Prepare It and How
It Should Be Served.
All llsli nuist, of course, be strictly
ftjsh. If It is easily pulled from tbe
bones It is u sure sign tbe fish Is stale.
The brightness of tbe eye Is another
test of freshness ami one that cannot
be remedied artificially. For this reason
a purchaser shoflld be suspicious of any
!l>ih from which tbe eyes have been re
moved or fish ofl'ered for sale without
tbe head. The skin should be smooth
and unwrinkled and tbe color fresh and
clear. Dip In scalding water for a few
seconds to remove the scales or skin.
Always soak salt flsh in salt water
instead of fresh water. Tbe strong
taste usually so difficult to destroy will
be entirely removed and the fish will be
more palatable than when soaked In
fresh water.
Fish contain the same kind of nutri
>11 ts as other food materials. When
accompanied by bread and butter, po
tatoes, green vegetables and fruit, they
provide a diet that will supply all the
demands of the body. All sorts of flsh
may be boiled, steamed, baked, plank
ed, fried, stuffed, scalloped, served In
cream, made into ramekins, croquettes,
salads, served hot or cold lu Jelly, pot
ted and pickled. At a conventional
dinner fish follows the soup and may
be served with potatoes and cucumber
or lettuce sulad. At a homo dinner It
takes the place of meat. Do not serve
a sweet or heavy dessert at the close
of a fish dinner, as tbe comblnatloa is
not good. Coffee may be served, but
tea is to be avoided after fish.—Wash
ington Star.
