Temperance. Absence of Worry. s
Youthful Mind, Much bleep.
(New York World).
A famous New York physician. new
halo and handle , ‘t 76, sums up his
hall‘s century. of , Malpractice and
observation in these simple rules or
suns: . ‘ . ’
1. Be temperate .11: all things. lp
matters of amusement or study as well
as in regard to f _ s and drinks. ‘To
be temperate in at things, however.
does'not imply that One must be a pro-
hibitionlst about anything.
a. Don't be afraid to go to sleep.
for sleep is the best restorcr of wasted
energies. Sleep is certain number of
hours every night, and then remember
that a short nap during the day is a
safer reluvenator than a cocktail. ‘
a. Don‘t worry—either about the
past or the future. To waste a sin-
gle hour in regret for the past is as
senseless as to send good money after
that which has been irrevocably lost.
To fret one's seifabout what the fu.
turn may have in store is about as
reasonable as to attempt to brush back
the tide of the ocean with a broom.
Worry. of whatever kind. punishes
contentment, and contentment is a ne-
cessity of youth. .
4. Keep the mind: youthful. Live
in the,present with all the other young
people. Don’t get 30‘ be reminiscent.
Let the old people'talk about'the pas ‘

Reminiscencea re dangerous-whom.
or they be soot ing or sweet or sad—-
for they characterise old age..snd must
be sedulously avoided by those who
would he evr young.
5. Keep up with the times. Don't
fall behind the procession. To ac-
complish this learn one new fact every
day. The mind that is‘satisiind to live
upon the lessons it learned in its youth
soon grows old and musty. To keep
young it must be fresh and active—-
that is. abreast with the times. The
old methods of thought and the old
facts mayhave been correct. enough
once upon a time, but that time has
passed. Today they are obsolete and
only amusing as relics of antiquity.
To remain young. therefore. one must
keep the storehousb of the memory
clear of all such rubbish. Throw
away one of the mildewed relies every
day and replace it with some newer,
fresher and more up—to—date fact.
Here. then, is this New York physi-
cian's secret of perennial youth in a
nutshell.
Be temperate! Don’t be afraid to go
to sleep! Don't worry! Keep the mind
youthful! Andmkecp up with the
times!
it is not a difficult rule of life to
follow. _ it is averse much easier
than wandering about strange lands
in search of hidden springs. it is
somewhat pleasanter than slewing ov-
er ill-smelling crucibles. . Moreover,
it. has the advantage of being thorough-
ly practicable, which makes it well
worth trying.

The Scarlet Z was presented by the

The four acts of the play are filled

DeVondo. who, as Dick Appleton.
handled them in an easy. yst telling
manner. He was ably supported in
every instance by Miss Van Auker, her -
work lending much to the success of
the performance. The comedy parts

The other members of the company
presented their various characters in
a most creditable manner and receiv-

dience. Tonight the company will
present The Great Medical Mystery
and tomorrow night The Christian of
Hawk's Roost. it was not Mr. De-
Vonde's intention to present Doomed

at the box office for that popular play.

The county commissioners were to
have gone to New Canaan yesterday
to give a bearing upon the application
of the Connecticut Railway I: Light-
ing Company, for permission to erect
its poles upon the roadway passing
the property of Mrs. Malcolm T. Gra-

a postponement necessary. The hear-

The company formerly ran its poles
over the property now owned by Mrs.

thcpolcs when she came into posses-‘
clan and also refused to allow the
poles to be erected on the street In
front of the property, she owning the
land on both sides of the way.
The law provides that in such cases
