This, as Will Rogers would say,
is written on the train traveling -
from Washington to New York.
Millions of Americans will be
glad to hear that the President,
seen two hours ago, seemed in per
fect health, full of energy, and,
amid all the Nicaragua-Mexico ex
citement, calm as a Vermont elm..
# .
Y/hat appears to interest the
President just now is internal im
provement, projects for canals
... from the farms and facilities to
the sea, and development of un
used waters for power and irriga

the Colorado River.

President Coolidge speaks just
* so fast, and no faster. He knows
every word that he is ^ ciing to say
before he says it. Words do not
come out and surprise him, as hap
pens with others. .
You cant hut him, or choose .
hie subject for him. And as fo"r
holding him back, when he means
to go in a certain direction, why,
to "draw upthe Leviathan- with a
hook" would-be child's play, com

The Senate rejects the Lausanne
treaty, so this country remains cut
off from official acquaintance with
Turkey and that energetic dictator,
Kemal Pasha. The treaty is re
jected because it doesn't provide
adequate protection for Christians,
or any solution of the eternal Ar
menian question.
The rejection of the treaty is
largely a triumph for Christians
missionaries.
Twenty was the average age at
which men died in the year 1650.
In 1850 the average age was forty.
In 1575 it was forty-five, and now
it is fifty-eight
The able Dr. Mayo supplies
those figures. With the right kind
of living, ten years can be added to
present average, and we begin
wise living at the right age. The
famous Lulgi Cornaro, however,
given up to die after forty, lived
wisely and passed 100.

creates saliva, and that keeps the

Cats near Bakersfield California,

WINTEK-DAY SUGGESTIONS.
In days,' when the front door to
kept closed as much as possible^,
and the windows are jjealoushr;
guarded,?-when ventilation holda
discomfort along with its purifying,
influences, I cannot help thinking
of the increased liability of infec
tion within the winter quarters of
those who live in the frigid tern-"*
peratures of our northern states.
The out-door members of bur fam
ilies are abroad -during the day,
either from choice or necessity.
Being exposed, they "pick up"
colds, bronchial infections, throat
disturbances febrile in character,
and, certainly communicable. They
bring their complaints home with
them. ? Children going to school :
are extremely liable to contract
lung or throat diseases,' -by their
association with groups Borne of
whom are almost certain to be
carriers of respiratory germs.
Somebody in the family may be
tubercular?a most serious infec
tion.
What I am driving at. is, to
avoid the spread of disease in tbe
home where we spend our evta
ings, or should, if we do not I
do not like to hear of colds "go
ing through families," and I
am.convinced that such misfortune
can be prevented by intelligent pre
caution. Under no circumstance
should expectorated matter be per
mitted to dry within the sitting
room or bed-room. The handker
chief used by a sufferer should be
thrown in a vessel of water when
soiled;
Then, coughs should be carefully
discipline^; a hard cough'wdll hurt
bacteria ten feet. It may be dead
ly to sit in front of. a tubercular
who coughs immoderately without
training for safety. It is just e*
easy to. dispose of expeetomjp
matter before it dries, and sickness
may be prevented by kindly res
triction. Try it in your Home.
