And though man doesn’t seem to realize it, health is the casiest to attain of all the elements of happiness, The rules for its preservation are simple and not difficult to observe. The way to harden the body is to impose labor and effort upon it in the days of good health—to exercise it, and habit- uate it to withstand all kinds of noxious influences. For the body itself, when properly prepared, is the best doctor. The muscles may be strengthened by a vigorous use of them; but not so the nerves; they aré weakened by it. While exercising the muscles in every way that is suitable care should be taken to spare the nerves and senses as much as possible. The eyes, for instance, should be protected from too strong a light, from strain in the dark; from continued examination of minute objects, and the ears from too loud sounds. Above aH, the brain should never be forced, or used too much at the wrong time, let it have a rest during digestion, for then the same yital energy which forms thoughts in the brain has a great deal of work to do elsewhere. A man must learn to view his intellectual capacities in no other light than that of physiological functions and. to man- age them according]; ng or exercising them as tlie case may be; remembering that every’kind of physical suffering, malady or disorder, bas its effects upon the mind. The brain, as might be expected, is the key to good health. Thought is only the organic function of the brain; and it has to obey the same laws in regard to exertion and repose’ as any other organic function, The notion of a soul—as something elementary and im- material merely lodging in the brain and needing nothing at all for the performance of its essential function, has Jed many »ple into foolish dis of the first rule of good health proper rest. It is most important to allow the brain the full measure of sleep which is necessary to resto: t; for sleep is o a man’s whole nature what winding is to a clock, The sleep ss. tests performed on university students recently by pro- ssurs resulted ny sensible person could have foretold; use his brain properly who hasn't had sufficient ep. The Heart of Life John Masefield, in a preface to a new edition of one of his works, tells us that trag at its best is a vision of the heart of life, and explains: “The heart of life can only be laid bare in the agony of an exultation of dreadful acts. The vision of agony, or spiritual contest, pushed beyond the limits of the dying personality, is exalting and cleansing. It is only by such vision that multitude can be brought to the -passion- ate knowledge of things exulting and eternal, Commonplace people dislike tragedy, because they dare not suffer and can- not exult. The truth and rapture of man are holy things, not lightly to be scorned. A carelessness of life and beauty marks the glutton, the idler and the fool in their deadly path across history.” If the meaning is not clear to you read the words over again slowly. Tragedy is the heart of life because pain is posi- tive and happiness negative. A man who desires to make up the book of life and determine where the balance of happiness lies, must put down in his accounts, not the pleasures he has enjoyed, but the evils he has escaped. The fruits of life are not pleasure and joy, but experience and knowledge. Happiness adds nothing to the stature of a man, but experience and knowledge give him power and wisdom, and it is these that make life so good. pp The Exodus There are those of the south who see in the-hegira Flor- idawards something more than a mere “follow your leader” movement to the far off fields that look green. Some see a permanent shift of population and there may be ground for the belief. The waves that wash such a population upon the Florida shores are bound to leave more or less stranded when they recede. These become permanent, Then there are those ho also become permanent through advantages offered—that here, and he removed their busin and not exist else SHES ortune How much the south will benefit in the way of popula- tion and wealth, Florida alone, does not receive all the bene fits, cannot be told until the movement subsides. As far north s Spartansburg, South Carolina, here is what the Herald notes: “In a day's driving north from Spartanburg hundreds of cars from northern states headed south are encountered. The migration is one fo the most remarkable developments in the history of this country and is significant. The movement in- creases and it is squarely a condition for the south to properly . What will it all mean within the course of the next ? Is it the beginning of a permanent shift of pop- ulation? “Florida is filled with people, but not all of them are for the hotels are crowded in all the principal cities in Carolinas and the camping grounds along the highways taking care of hundreds of tourists. It is for the whole outh to realize what is happening.? , The Direct Primary fhe primary election system has many sins to answer for lready, but from entirely new quarters: complaints. break- until it would seem, that one day soon the desire to get rid of it would ual the craze, some years ago, to establish it. In Texas there is probable cause for complaint, and the Waco Herald mildly approaches the subject: We wish that some man who has filled the office of gov- crnor would tell us how ywuch it cost him to make his two races, nd how much poorer he was when ly came out of the office n when he w into it. Not every man is willing or able ty for so strenuous a campaign as is involved in running for the office of governor or lieutenant governor or United “States seuator or any other of the high offices. We are here lookin t the direct primary from a single uel from that of what it costs in money and time to run any office, whether it be that of legislator or governor or 1 ntcndent of public instruction, As we see it, the correct way of choosing public officials would be the method of the Methodists in choosing their bishops, there being no avowed candidate Kut looking at the matter as it now stands, what misgiy t come to uy man when he contemplates the heavy 1 iture of effort and money, and on top of that, the ehan of defeat, Merely wishing to throw additional light.on the pri- mary—that’s all per Tribune-Herald St. . and Chamber: of Com are on file in the 2 d s are World Topies he continued, ndment was an the attempt to from the without con- the right of self- rhment. he theory federal pment has j diction over navi. gable streams It would enter a state and regulate and control the water power and water’ supply of that state.| It 1s done also on the theory that since a state may be selfish in the use of its water the federal gov- ernment has a right to step in and control distribution, “For all practical purposes there is federal encroachment {n continu- ing ‘federal tnheritance taxation. These taxes are used for ) general federal purposes, notwithstanding the fact that this ts not a federal function and could be more easily administered by the states. “From all of this, it !s. apparent that there must be, and that there is coming, 4 new alignment and to some extent a re-assertion of funda. mehtal *principles and a new recog- nition of the lines of demarkation between the states and the federal government. This will bring us back ‘tothe orig: purposes, will relleve the federal administration of some of its burdens, give a greater measure of sellf-government and home rule and preserve the spirit of the constitution.

I am sure, however, that there were no catches to bother with und that it took a cyclone to blow {t inside out In more recent centurles, {t seems, the umbrella was one of the insignia of royalty and power. I wish it were still, for I never feel less a royalist’ and less powerful than when I am carrying one. Rather, I am humil- jated and ashamed. Nor can I call myself, ever, after the Mahratta princess of Indfa, “lord of the um- brella.” It is not in me. The only lords of it I have ever known, indeed, are professors who carry umbrellas about snugly bound and swathed tn silk, like so many mummied em- bleims of thelr innocent profession. Jonas Hanway, who (the Encyclope- Gia.tells! me), died {n 1786, but who up to that point had led a gay life as the first Engilsnman to carry an umbrella in public, was likely no more jealous of his implement than they. But I expect he was careless, and left it on the London coach or lying about his club, and that one day someone else picked {t up and twirled it a bit, and undid the wrap- pings, and then tried it out, cingerly, on Fleet street. So there were two of them; and by and by a third. (Un- lucky Jonas!! Pmbrellas, lke books, are never returned). And we are safe in supposing that a few, years later the umbrella had become quite common, and that people stood them, dripping, in such bathtubs as they had; that the first itinerant rib menders came threading their way about the residential sections. tink- ling their nolsy Uttle bells, and that 2 certain scholar, etymologically in- clined, looked into the origin of “um. brella” and found that {t came from ombrella, Italian dim. of ombra.

Panama Centennial Next June at the city of Panama will be observed the centennial of the first South American congress, which was held one hundred years ago this month. The first South American congress was .alled by Simon Bolivar, who will forever be known to history as the Liberator of South America. Bolivar was the greatest of all South American statesmen and warriors. It was due to him more than to any single tn- dividual that the southern continent was freed from the rul eof Spain and the different free republics there were established. Bolivar was the first statesman of the South to realize that the Inter- ests of the new republics were com- mon and that stability could only be assured by co-operation and a merger of interests. The Panama congress, which he called one hundred years ago, was Summoned to promote this co-opera- tion. The flag of Spain had been lowered, but factional jealousies and bitter political contentions over poli- cies and boundaries bade fair to re- sult in the undoing of all that Bolivar had accomplished for the cause of freedom on the continent. The Liberator himself was’ plotted against and atempts were made to assassinate him by the pecple whom he had freed. The Panama conference wis called by Bolivar for formation of a con- federation that, as he sald In Mis letter, “should act as a council of appeal tn times of conflicts and com- mon danger, and which, moreover, would be a faithful interpreter of public treaties when difficulties should arise, and,.in short, a con- ciliator in all our difficulties.” The purposes ag set forth in this hundred years’ old letter are still the {deals of the unfon-of-the South American states. ‘Bolivar did not live to see his ideals realized. A cen- tury has passed and still they have not been fully realized. South Amer- fean revolutions became a by-word and a reproach, ‘The expulsion of Spain was a matter of but a com- paratively few. years. The establish- ment of orderly and permanent free government has been a matter of ages. But South Ametica is nearer to: day to the {deals of the continent's great deliverer. The holding of the centennial conference should further ald in the reallzation of these ideals. —— Red and Mellie Those who have been lamenting the fact that "Red" Grange so suc- cumbed to commercialism as to ac- cept large sums as a professional football player, which they them- selves would have jumped at, may now prepare to burst into a flood of tears over the sad case of Melllie Dun- ham.

Now 130,000,000 go every week; there are not that many good people in the country, but some of the’ regulars are on duty nearly ey- ery night, which lets some of the rest os us take a night off to seek other diversion. To seat and shelter this vast throng the picture people have pro- vided 20;189 movietheaters. All of which means that we have become, not movie mad, but pretty generally given over to the movie habit, suffi- clently certain to constitute us a thoroughly competent court to pass upon thé merits of the individual productions as they pass in qutck succession. A motion picture magazine has un- dertaken to find out what movie the people: like best every year. For 1925, of course, the decision is not quite due, but there is evidence of public_taste in the selections made for the years immediately preceding which Include vid," “Humoresque,” and “The Covered Wagon.” .These as a group show the long advance that has been made { a short time.
