ELIHU ROOT AT 80 VIRILE PATRICIAN Puts in Streonous Day ahd Says It With Work New York, Feb, 12— Elthu Root, born Feb, 15, 1845, has almost reached his elghtieth birthday. 0 one's thinking, means a feeble wreck, rocking in front of the fire or dozing in the sunshine, babbling of trivial memories, sated with life und ready for the benediction. But Mr. Root still has not had enough of llving. He races through a crowded schedule which men 30 years younger might find over- powering. He speaks from the knowledge of hig seasoned maturity when he ad- vises: , “As men grow older and live less exclusively in the future and meas- urably more in the past, they learn what inestimable wealth has he who, blessed by a host of memories, preserves the generous and noble standards created in him without his knowledge. “There are millions of working men with shorter hours and more Koor money who don’'t know what to do with thefr time and are unhappy and discontented, more so now than when their hours were filled with labor, because they have no capacity for extracting happiness from their surroundings. There are thousands of rich men who don't know what to do with their riches, who found that the chief effect of having so much money is that their children are go- ing to the devil because they never acquired the capacity to extract hap- piness from their surronudings ex- cept through spending money.” Happlness Is to be sought, he tells ——— ACIDIN STONACH SOURS THE FOOD Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Cause of Indiges- tion A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always ‘due to acidity—acid stomach—and not, as most folks be- lieve, from a lack of digestion julces, He states that an excess of hydro- chlorfe acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta- tion; then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid flulds and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy baloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all di- gestive alds and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a galss of water before breakfast, while it is effervescing, and further- more, to continue this for one week. While relief often follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kiineys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive julces. Jad Saits i3 inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate, This harm- less salts is used by thousands of stomach suffcrers with excelient re- sulta, Grandmother Knew There Was Nothing So Good for Congestion and Colds as Mustard But the old-fashioned mustard plaster burned and blistered while it acted.

Better than a mustard plaster ight years old, to almost any-|" one, “through the spiritual re-en- thronement of those powers of elvil- fzation that depend upon what men really are, upon the heart and soul and character of men," Keeplng busy seems to be his own private formula for happiness, On birthdays it Is different, Then he can be found usually In his lbrary of a morning, taking a walk in the afternoon and celebrating at a little dinner with his family in the eve- ning. It the day Is stormy, he puts on a heavy overcoat and walks any- how, It 1s a little more than 25 years since he became President MeKin- ley's secretary of war, golng, as he ays, “to preform a lawyer's duty upon the call of the.greatest of all our clients, the government of our countr; He had then ahead of him service as secretary of state and sen- ator, and a host of distingulshed ac- complishments in and out of office, All those things before 1915 when he reached the limiting age of three-score years and ten! Since that age, however, he presided over the New York constitutional con- vention, was president of the Amer- fcan Bar Association, was special ambassador to Russia, drafted the plan for the Permanent Court of In- ternational Justice for the Teague of Nations, and gave hls active atten- tion to dozens of organizations and movements as president, director or trustee, Blot out the mental picture of an octogenarian and look at Elihu Root as he may be seen some night on a every week and several nights on a normal week. A straight, shapely, vigorous, gen- lial patriclan in evening clothes, he |sits at the head of a banquet table, There 18 no senile bussiness over the {good food, no trembling of the mateh as he lights his long clgar, no hands to the ear as he follows the speakers, no tmplied begging of odds on account of his years. There is a |delicacy in his features, accented by [the suggestion of “bangs” in his close-cut, white-gray hair, but it is the keen delicacy of steel. | He speaks with fire and pointed- ness and humor. He fences with the toastmaster in extemporaneous quips, reminisces perhaps about what Doug Fairbanks one said when they met, at the Hague, reveals a speak- ing knowledge of whatever is the oceasinn of the meeting, be it medi- cine, art, education, sport or what not. In the end he gets around to real ideas of originality, depth and |consequence. | A year and a half ago England |was eager for the honor of recelv- ing him as ambassador, not hecanse of his age nor in spite of it, but for the distinction and wisdom the years had brought to this perenni- ally vigorous spirif. Such fs the man today about whom President Raosevelt remarked years ago, “The greatest man that has arisen on either side of the At- lantic. CONVICTED POLICEMAN FOUND T0 BE INNOCENT Is Iron-Bound Alibl Proved for Cop Who Was Previonsly Found Guilty New York, Feb. A fervent oath sworn a week ago by Edgar Whalen, 3§ former New York po- liceman, when a jury found him guilty of first degree robbery, won his freedom yesterday and led to the discovery that he had been wrongly convicted. “So help me God, T am innocent of this charge,” Whalen exclaimed as he was led from the court room after his conviction. So sincere did the words sound that County Judge Martin of Brooklyn took the con- vieted man into his chambers for questioning. There Whalen said that the witnesses who could have prov- ed him innocent at the trial could not be obtained by him because of his poverty. Judge Martin sent for them, and they provided an iron- bound alibl for the ex-policeman, wherrupon the Judge reversed the jury's verdict. J“tf“:lgo Martin sald after court to- day that he had contemplated send- ing Whalen to Sing Sing prison fm: 25 years, as the ex-policeman once fad served a five year sentence in Sing Sing for extortion.
