And yet — they say grouches affect the health and even shorten gne’s stay upon this earth, Following up ‘his recent assertion that the life of the average New Yorker may be lengthened to eighty-five years, Health Commissionen Copeland has j announced that the Health Depart- + ment bas decided to make the second * week in January, 1920, “Live Longer Week,” in the hope that grouches will vanish and that rules to be followed during that period will be «dopted permanently. “The mind has much to do with the physical condition, said Dr. ‘Copeland, “and we shall advocate Jcheerfulness and a happy matimer. § rhe grouch will not ordinarily live long as the man with a pleasant di \position. Poise and even temper, D the elimination of worry by the sub- | sutatien of more cheerful thoughts are established aids to health and Jlongevity.” “What do you think of eliminating grouches and lengthening life?’ 1 asked Dr. John D. Quackenbos at his home, No. 37 West 73d Street. “Do you think that the person who con- stantly has a chip upon his shoulders actually shortens his days?" “I not only think it, but I know it from actual experience with my pa- tients,” was Dr, Quackenbos's quick reply. “And I heartily indorse what Dr. Copeland says about the mind having much to do with the body. I hope that all New Yorkers will take advantage of this ‘Live Longer Week,’ obeying not only the rules set forth for the body, but those coy: rern ee tte aiind and its effect upon 1 ve body “To begin with, it isn't natural for nto hold a grouch against his Yellog, man, A grouch is an abnormal é ee ae mers Play Romeo and Juliet Have You a Pet Grouch?

By Neal R. O'Hara Copyright, 1919, wy The Prem Publishing Company (The New York Kyening World.) BASON for Presidential candidates’ is now om. Booms are booming and campaigns are paining., Favorite sons are rising in the West. Dough is being raised in the East. The South is solid, but the North ain't liquid—and that’s the cam- paign’s only hitch. A 1920 candidate’s support will be dry but en- thusiastic. No more hopping on the band wagon—water wagon's the only vehicle to jump on now. Candidate's slush fund ia no Jonger a lush fund. Plenty of candidates in the fleld but only a few come to bat. We know one possible candidate that would rather be on the bench than come to bat—provided it was the Supreme Conrt bench, But most of ’em will want to ran, whether or not they make a hit, Washington hotels are already crowded, which explains why politics makes strange bedfellows. And politics also makes strange beds. Candidate with a clean sheet can rest easy, but the guy with a couple of slips finds he’s got no comforter, One thing you can bet on—political bedfel- lows get little sleep. They're too busy watching each other, Presidential candidates of to-day ain't like the boys of long ago, Half a century back a candidate said he'd rather be right than be President. And the same guy that wanted to be right got left! To-day a bird that would rather be right than be President can save his campaign expenses, Nowadays they want to be President without reservations, They'd rather be right than be Vice President, maybe. And some of 'em would even rather be WRONG than be Vice President, But being President these days is a question of votes, not virtues. Present Chief Ex- ecutive has announced he'd rather write than be President. Boom in Wall Street means a bull movement, which ain’t mach different from politics. A Presidential boom always means a bull movement too—by the press agent. A cannon booms twenty- one times for a President, or just a few more times than Old Joe has been boo But the trouble with most Presidential booms is that they’re like the usual kind—make a lotta noise and gen- erally do more damage than good. When a campaign gets started, candidate furnishes the but- tons and ward heelers do the buttonholing. Candidate also buys lots of red fire—thinks the fourth of March is the Fourth of July. Canvass comes right after the boom, which sometimes makes PRESIDENTIAL BOOMS ry SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2 One of Those Tantalizing French Fashions Reason There’s Such a Rush for the Presidency Is the Shortage of Apart- ments; Job That Entitles a Guy to a Four-Year bease of the White House Is Worth Scrambling For; President Should Worry Once He Gets In. smooth sailing, But prospects never make a President! Many a favorite son suffers a total eclipse. And many a candidate is like the usual kind of gate—liable to swing the other way. Reason there's such a rush for the Presidency is the shortage of apartments. Job that entitles a guy to a‘four-year lease of the White House is worth scrambling for. President should worry, once he gets in, Can make his own rules when there's a coal short- age and can make his own ice when there's an ice shortage. And pretty soft to have Uncle Sammy for a landlord, You can veto him if he tries to raise your rent, Every hopeful bas a platform, Platform is for the candidate to stand on, although lots of times the voters sit on it, Just now it looks like all the platforms and ONE of the eandidates will be Wood. And it’s easy to seo why Wood's after the Job. Wants to be Commander in Chief of the Army. The General also figures if the present President’s Woody, the next one can be Wood. When the cam- paign gets warmed up, though, you'll hear the Democrats knocking Wood. This year {t's gonna be as hard to keep the soldiers out of politics as it was to keep ‘em out of Paris, Wise candidates will make a bid for the sol- dier vote, Party machine guns will be turned on the doughboys and sol- diers will be invited to vote bullets! Women's vote is something to figure on this year too. With the girls dividing their support, though, G. 0. P. and Democrats are no longer stag parties, But it looks like trouble ahead for the pols, Women in politics will want to choose their own bosses, same as they do in love. And a handsome male candidate can run away with the women’s vote. All he's gotta do is tgll ‘em to put a kiss after his name on the ballot! May even have a lady candidate for President before the year’s RLYONE 6, WRONG over.
