The old men sheuld' *‘excel in strengt‘n. of reason, cool judgement, mature counsel and broad diseretion’ writes' Dr. Friedman in the New York Medical Journal. He points to the fact that the Romans of old revered their aged men, mnki?\g their Senate up of those who had reached the age | of ‘discretion. It is ‘consoling to hear Dr. Fried- man's views. A woman, he cortends, in‘ht be as old as sae looks; but & man, well, a man is but as old as he |- feels, or as old as his arterles. And the Doctor places no limit on the age of man. :We can all live as long as: we want, he claims, for man does, not die; he, kills himself. Only in a general way'can the limit of hu- man life be gauged. He pomts out Thomas Parr who died in 1685 at the age of twelve and mentions an ac- ripe old age of 370 years. , . “The limit of life” continues this eminent physician “has been p!aced at six or seven times the time for ma. | turity.

Any American boyv tather was born and reared in country has no excuse for not know- i ing something about Santa Anna. He was known to every American boy who lived up to the timé of the Mex- fcan war, 1846-48. The ‘old warrior | was one of the extraordinary men of the nineteenth century and held the whip hand in Mexico for nearly forty vears previous to 1854 when he was deposed. Were it not for Santa An- pa’s tyranical rule our present state of Texas may never have revolted and achieved its independence, becoming part of our Union. \ The aforementioned are things the boys should know. The Mexican war produced some wonderful American hg¢roes, men whose character ~and courage the boys of today would do well to emulate.

(Bridgeport Telegram) * The refusal of General Nelson A. Miles, retired, to speak on the same platform at Atlantic City with John L. Sullivan, retired, is amusing. Both are engaged in the same temperance work. - Both have a hala of former prominence which lends to their effec- tiveness as temperance orators. “But,” says General Miles, “I will not appea.r on the platform with that fel- low." ‘““He was a pugilist!” General Miles is mistaken. Mr. Sul- livan was never a pugilist. He was a fellow exponent of the Manly Art of Self Defense. We say ‘fellow” ex- ponent, because General Miles, téo, was a votary of the same art. The pugilist never uses his fists to smash the other fellow’s jaw, but only in Seif Defense—manly Self Defense. ' And the soldier never uses his military power to commit an act of aggression, but only as a defender—the Nation’s Self Defense. Every army in FEurope today Is fighting strictly on' the ‘aeféhsive, o ‘we are diplomatic corps of the varioys- na- tions concerned. ~The United States army is strictly a matter of national defense, so we are told by those who want a much larger one. And the pugilist is not a slugger, but a self- defender, who defends himself against other self-defenders. It is a queer world, and motes and beams are still i frequent in it.

The recent career of the man who killed himself in the Nassau Counly jail at Mineola shows how amiably we order our affairs for the accomoda- tion of paranoiacs and cutthroats.

There ean be no better standard which is a1 the same time practical.

Watchful walting in connection with Mexican affairs should be abolished. The time limit for a compliance with the American request snould be defi- nitely determined and the various ieaders notified of that limit.

It is obvious that the sale of ex- plosives heére and elsewhere through- out the country is not regulated with sufficient strictness reasonably to pro- tect the public. The legitimate users of these dangerous compounds are proportionately few in number, and ‘their responsibility can be easily es- tablished.

Sanitary practices in this country are justly condemned in the last re. port of the United States Public Health Service on typhoid. The state- ment that last year 30,000 deaths were recorded and that 400,000 persons were incapacitated shows that there is substantial basie’ for the starting of an “educational campaign.” That thousands of lives can be saved évery vear by intelligent work is certain; be- cause typhoid is a disease that can be prevented. Polluted drinking water is the most common carrfer of typhoid. Too liltie attention given to the drainage of large watersheds from which city sup. plies are taken and to the keping of filth out ,of springs and wells in the country districts, Carelessness and ignorance are the underlying causes af the epidemics in cities and the isolated cases on the farms, and there is no excuse for cither in these days of sani- tary research and achievment, An interesting section of the reporm is the one on “anti-typhoid inoculation or vacination”—the popular notion that this remedy is infallible is con-, tradicted. “The protection is relative, not absolute.” inoculation is “not tp be regarded as a substitute for sanitas tion,” the report says.
