THE CARDINAL Paige fwenty-four In those verbal seasons of the year When the air is calm and pleasant, it were an injuiry against Nature not to go out and see her riches, and partake in her rejoicing With heaven and earth. -Milton WHY THE NEW YEAR should begin in mid-winter is beyond our ken. N ature has not decreed it, science does not require it, the imagination can neither comprehend it nor reconcile it with the season. If any; . ' time of the ear ever is new, if nature and life itsel th Qenhag ever take onya new interest, it is at this time of the $11111? year, when nature shyly presents her new foliage, when f $prmg the gentle impress of a kiss from old Sol wakes one in the morn, and the chirping of feathered songsters greets the wakening senses. ' Would you have a taste of real living? Then rise on such a morn- - ing when the clock strikes half-past live, don a few loose-litting gar- ments, then get into. the open and run a mile or walk two or ride live. Let the long cool shadows soothe you, let the crisp morning air till the lungs and set every fibre of your body quivering with its life-giving elements, let the songs of the birds get into your heart. Such an ex- cursion followed by a hasty Sponging and Vigorous toweling will quicken the blood, clear the mind, give new strength and one to break the nightis fast with new pleasure. A new joy will seize you, the athletes zest for the race will possess you. You have sipped of the elixer of life. Then if ever will you feel that the year is new, that ' llThe yeafs at the spring, Ahd' days at the mom? that ' Godis in his heaveh-e Allts right with the worldlii HNEW LIFE? lllongevity? ilperpetual youth? ttelixer of lifefl these are charmed words that have ever been good to roll on the tongue.

Unluckily his short legs could not quite touch bottom, so there was nothing to do but drink tili they did. In a few minutes he reached bottom all right; but poor Kickenspichennickel was swelled up till he well nigh stuck in the vat. His head began to swim and his eyes to blur. He was a badly drunk pig. By some strange maneuver, he tipped himself out of the vat and waddled a into the street. The worthy citizens were truly shocked at his tipsy oei appearance. He swaggered along the thoroughfareias proud as you TI please until he had the whole population at his heels. Then with haughty mein he bore his way to the river bank. Here, in view of all the townspeople, he danced a j ig on his hind legs, then reversing it he danced it again on his fore legs. Squealing in glee, he executed a someirsault and sank in the waters of the Main. Let me sing for Iim a King. Who cares for Monsieur the Duke?

Arguments are not necessary to convince one of the added joys and greater possibilities in being able to retain a plastic brain and supple body along with an ever maturing and ever growing mind. . That the true elixer of life is on the point of being discovered seems certain. In the past men have been inclined to- look afar off in their search for this something that will perpetuate youth and have thus overlooked the treasure at their own feet. It is now known that the body is continually renewing itself. This varies from the renewal of the skin every few days to the renewal of thebones every seven or twelve months. The process of ossification offsets this constant renewal and theisearch now being made is for the discovery of the chemical action that causes ossification and for the removal of the causes. The causes of old age are of a physical, hereditary and mental nature. Yet, those who know are convinced that the real causes are mental even to the extent of overcoming physical and hereditary forces. Ask any person of hfty years and upwards whose eyes yet sparkle, whose figure is yet erect and vig01ous, and whose step is springy and see if he will not tell you that he feels yOung and that he enjoys nature, loves his work and hnds pleasure in young people and their interests. There you have the secret. we have anothe1 picture; that of a man so absorbed-in the cares of his business that he neglects all physical exercise, thinks nothing of what he eats, knows nothing but his o-wn business and even that im- perfectly or oneesidedly- because of his habits of :life. One day as he rises from his chair he is conscious of a rusty joint or a slight twinge s.omewhere His rut- traveling mind isnt even shocked into the neces- sity of doing something, but accepts the condition and a very natural expression results: iiUgh, I must be getting old? From that hour he is doomed, unless he awakes to his condition. Nay, he has been doomed all along. The action and the words are merely the physical manifestations of a long continued habit of thought. He has always looked upon old age as inevitable and has regarded every birthday as an added load and a 6step nearer the g1 ave He is a living witness to the fact that thoughts tend to express themselves 111 action. So 1n the end we are led to the conclusion that the perpetuation of youth is almost wholly dependent upon thought habits. We are all familiar with the physical manifestations of ange1, SOerW, joy and fear in the Hashing eye, the downcast or uptulned feature, the gasping breath and blanched face. Chemical analysis of the blood, saliva, or perspiration enable one to ascertain the p1eva111ng mood of the person. It has been found that the breath of an angry person contains poison. Prof. Gates states that our thoughts create actual substances in the E1112 Elixir. nf Etfe
