MANHOOD."
Bt. Hxlbks. Jan. 28, 1897
To tb Eoito; From 20 to 60 years of
sea. man Is at his zenith. It should be
from 90 to SO, or sven 100 yeara of age, and
why Isn't It? When onr forefathers earned
their bread by tha chase, were there any
physicians? No. Andwby? Toll strength
onad tbolr nerres and "perilled tbeir blood
Had we not severed oursslves from tbel
habit of life, there would bar been no
physicians todsy. If msn knsw how
harmonize himself, with his environments
there would be but few pbysiclsns today,
Man in tb past, bas besn contented, for
tbs doctor to look after his physical welfare
and, the minister to look out for his spirit
ual welfare. When are, and should, do
little thinking for themselves, on both sub
jects. Tbe effects of diseases srs known to
alt men. How few there ar wbo know the
causs of diseases. A little observstlon with
on' i self, with one's daily habits of life,
soon teaches us, that the laws of nature ar
perfect and tbat, according to her laws, ws
should live our natural lives without aches,
pains or diseases, men at majority should
lay th foundation for health. Life is sus
tained by food, water and air. Tha first
thing to consider Is food, what to eat, how
much to eat, in proportion to th amoont
of our dally exercise; second, bow much
liqnld w should take Into our stomachs
daily. Tb amount for an adult is tbree
pints, Including th liquid st meals; out
side of meals, the remainder pur oold or
hot water, should be taken In three equal
enstallmeats, one boor before each meal
third, take all tba fresh outdoor air tbat It
is possible to take into vour lungs through
your nostrils ths whole twenty-four hours
of each day. Control your passions. Marry
early In life; endeavor to have on or more
children. If you don't you will neveri
know th extremes of happiness and sorrow
or, good health. - ? .
A man la entitled to credit over hi fellow
men for his originality; tor new ideas that
benefit bis fellow man; tbat iesll. Man
should diversify his thoughts; think about
something besides making money. A day
ot twenty-four boura should be divided Into
three equal parts; Eight hours for sleep
eight hours for labor, and eight hours for
recreation. If your early opportunities for
education have been neglected, educate
yourselves. Beserv one bour each day,
all your Ufa, for study. Before your lives
are half spent, yon can be a classical
scholar. Tak all th . newspapers your
purse' will pay tor and read them through,
Tbe tide In every man's affairs is the pres
ent moment. Improve tbe present mo
ment. Never mind tbe one that is past
nor the ene that la to com. When the
outlook is dim for making a living in tha
professions! and mercantile pursuits, pro
duce your living from the soil. You can
lose more honor in five minutes than you
can gain In a decade. Don't expect to be a
geniua nnleaa you enjoy solitude. Bs truth
ful, "Com Into port grandly or, sail with
Qodthsseas." Stddih.
KEASEY NOTES.
With your permission I wonld Ilk to
play th role of "critic among tne critics,"
also "review of reviews," not that I have
the thought tbat 1 caa oome up to the
standard of those peiiodlcsls, nor tbat Miss
Anna English (oaa ot Clatskanie's beat) ia
not competent to defend herself, but to re
mind tbe able Mist correspondent that this
is th day of tha "new woman," also that
with tb good old Noah Webster speak
ing In her defense, wherein ba defines edi
tor aa "a person who prepares, etc, a book,
magaxln or newspaper for publication.
He makea no speclflcstlon ss to man or
woman, therefore th editor ot th "High
School Wbiaser" being a person, ws should
say she had a perfect right to aay editor.
Now, as to the "Review of Reviews," we
noticed in the Columbia County News, tha
editor reviewing our financial difficulties,
such as government ownership, and thinks
it might ba dona her as in England, a
twelve-pound package could be sent to any
part of tha country for 10 cents. By con
sulting geography of tbe preparatory stud-
lea, he will find that England ia but a few
squars mile larger than the atat of Iowa.
According to that w measur nearly or
quit up to that much quoted country, as
I think such a package could ba sent across
that state for 98 cants. I do not bellere it
best to cut our garmenta either by the pat
tern ot England or France or Germany,
We remember of reading In history how
long year ago England triad to fore us to
fashion ourselves according to her patterns,
but as wa then said no, so say wa today.
very many of our people are not exactly
"Among th Breakers," neither am they
"amateurs," but they ar performing on
the atage of la grippe. Among the perform
ers are Keasey Banders Kichman, Mrs.
Cbeldelln and Hansen, with but little
change In scenes. It la almost an epldemlo
but hot drinks, etc., without th call of a
physician seems to ba an excellent panacea .

AT THI OLD ITAND, BT. HELEK ORIOOM
"Amoitq thb Briakbrs." The well
known drama "Among the Breakers,"
wa presented to an audience of 150
people by local talent of this city last
Monday evening. Tli plot of the play
wa no doubt familiar to many pres
ent, but that (act did not detract from
public appreciation of merit in the
manner in wbich tba player adapted
themselves to tbeir several part. Tbe
local company demonstrated that the
word "professional" doe not slwsys
mean what it implies, for indeed, many
were tha assertion by member of tbe
audience after tbe performance eon
eluded that they bad paid one dollar
many timet to see professionals who
did not compare favorably with our
home talent. Mr. 3. O. Muckle,
Mother Carey, tbe fortune lelkr, paved
her way to favor with ibe audience as
the play progressed, and the rendition
of ber difficult part wa greeted with
approval at very turn, while Dr. Boss,
as David Murray, the light-keeper, ap
peared an artist in bis quick transfor
mation from a deep dyed villain to an
bumble sinner on the stool of repent
ance. His wa the strong character
in tha play, and hia work wa done
well Mr. Vivian, a Peter Paragraph
wa at borne wherever and whenever
found, and aaide from being aa ag
greseive newsgather, wa not alow in
tb role of the flirt. Mr. George A
Hall, a Bruce Hunter, the yacht cap
tain, wa a central figure iu nearly all
that took place, and hia persistent
search for hia long-lost daughter re
sulted in hi final success. Miss
Frankie Way, a Bess Starbrigbt, tbe
life preserver, won tbe heart of tbe
audience from tbe (tart, and received
frequent ovation, while none tbe less
appreciable were to effort or Miss
f illie Muckle, as Minnie Daxe, in the
charming love scene with Paragraph
Mr. Edward Joseph, a Clarence, with
Beaa Starbrigbt, in tbeir cbildiab
conrtabip, preaented a picture true to
life. Mr. George rainier, as Larry
and Mr. D. Davis, aa Biddy, provoked
great laughter in their atolen inter
view in the absence of Mother Carey,
never missing an opportunity to ad'
mire and ba admired the one by tbe
other, while Mr. D. Davis, a Scud, the
colored aervant, wa alway a source
of amusement, combining comedy
with tragedy and being ever alert to
pleas the fair sex, but alway at croea
point with Larry snd Paragraph. On
tbe whole, the first attempt waa a auc
cess, and we are glad to announce that
the receipt were 845.20, which, after
deducting 113.00 expenses, will be ap
plied to tbe church building fund.
