The Brussels Post, 1920-9-9, Page 7Fseret:hman Tells Secret of PALLID HEELS Long life. M. Jeno Pinot has written numerous volumes on et-l011BM: subjects and has Met coinpleted a treatise on longevity which embraces the results of twenty years of study, says a Paris despatch. Ile cites scores of chaos of Europeans who have lived for more than a cen- tury under conditions and in tem- peratures not greatly different from those !tore to -day. Moreover, 74, Fi- t s travel- ling e std nearly 'ala old i Fl - not 1!i t 1 70 ye Y S ennstuntly, according to his friends, he is as sprightly as a youth of 21. But let him tell his own story; "It is very easy to live to be 100," he said. "First, when you reach 70 don't begin Lo fear death. No ono! mast say, 'I ala nearing the end.' On the oenlrary, keep thinking that only 1 half your life has been passed. En- deavor to live in an atmosphere of con- i stunt auto -suggestion, instead of suf- fering from a false idea of death, "But this is not enough, Keep your interior and exterior organiems healthy, Keep the skin free from im- perfections• Learn to eat and to drink properly, Drink less and less and eat less, Masticate thoroughly, Above all, do not neglect to pass ten minutes in gymnastics every morning before breakfast, "That is all. Take plenty of pleasure in life, bttt do not abuse the plea- sures." hT, Pinot called attention to the fact that religious history is filled with in- cidents where such routine as he advo- cates prolonged life, for the saints achieved more than double the usual span, Solomon's Riches. The extensive ruins of ancient forts, temples and goel workings in Rho- desia have given rico to considerable.i controversy from time to time, some archeologists contending that they are only 400 or 500 yeare old and other Bolding that they date back to at least 2000 years before the Christian era, i and that Rhodesia was the Land of Ophir, mentioned in the Bible at chap- ter IX and X of I Kings. It is noteworthy that Milton, in "Pe -radii -to Lost," book IL, speaks of the Ilugel Michael leading Adam to a hill of Part—Oise from whose top Ilis eye night there command where- ' ever stood CIty of old or modern fame, from the walls of Cambaln to * * * Sofalo (thought Ophir) to the realm of Congo, and Angola, farther south. The theory has been advanced that if lthodcsia was not actually Ophir, it was at least the "Havilah" whence the gold of Ophir was obtained and which was so much in evidence at Solomon's enteitaiament of the Queen of Sheba. if this theory Is lorrect then Sofala of to -day would be the site of "Tlinr.;hioh," the ancient seaport of "Havilail," and the outlet for precious stones, metals 01111 other merchandise. Ophir being situate in all probability on the southern coast of Arabia and constituting a dtstributiug emporium rather than the place of origin of these things. Perfects Airplane to Explore Africa. A new type of hydro -airplane, .oper- ated by three helices, has been com- pleted and will be marketed soon by Jean Latham, son of Hubert Latham, who two years before the war met his death while hunting in the Congo, says a Paris despatch. Scientists here prophesy that Mr. Latham's invention will greatly tenni- tato exploration work in the Interior of France's colonies, as it combines three great factors—speed, carrying power and comparative lightness of equipment, and furthermore is able to use the smallest streams in case of asaident. The cabin contains room for four passengers as well as compartments for reserve supplies of petrol, food wirelecs apparatus and machine guns, all of which are in a birch back canoe body. All the machinery for the opera- tion of the craft Ls above the heads of the passengers. In trial tests the tydro-airplane, car- rying throe tons, mounted half a mile in four minutes, a mile In eight minutes and three miles in thirty- four minutes. The speed test showed a maximum of a hundred miles an hour, which was easily attained.

"Comb foundation" (originally the invention of a woman) is a familiar commercial product nowadays, being made of beeswax and turned out by 0 simple, machine that somewhat re- sembles a elot/102 wringer, Rectangular sheets of this material aro placed iu the frames of the bee- hive, and, being already laid out with suitable foundations for the coils, they relieve the bees of just that fetch work, tho industrious insect% having only to build up the walls to such height as the, spacing of the frames permits. A new idea, said to have proved entirely enece5sful, fs that of making the foundation sheets of aluminum in- stead of beeswax. 'When tho metal has been brushed lightly with melted Wax it servos the purpose just as well, the bees being quite content to build upon it, Ono advantage of the telumi- nunt sheets is that they are not fragile.

Ernpire Press Delegates in Evangeline's Land. Five continents were represenlod at the unveiling of the statue of Evange- line, Grand Pre, NOVEL Scotia. Nearly all those present belonged to the Im- perial Press Conference party, and the unveiling ceremony was as erformed by Lady Burnham, who said: "Evangeline is the beautiful concep- tion of au American poet whose verses we learnt to read on 1)0111 sides of the Atlantic when we were children. his- tory has shed another light on the Acadian story. We see to -day that British policy was not as black as it was painted, Whatever may be the truth of this story, as a woman, and an English woman, 1 shall always regard it as one of the most painful episodes in our annals. Thank God those cruel old clays lie behind us forever, and from tho fate of Evangeline hes sprung a great wave at sympathy which has been carried on the heal- ing hand of lime. It is a good omen that tho beautiful 51111, God's healing band, should be resting upon us all to- day, who are here to do honor to that sweet woman. Under those rays in your wonderful land so full of beauty and promise the old hatred is dead. I have now tho groat honor and privil- ege of unveiling the statue of Evange- line." The statue, which is of bronze, is the work of Ilenri Hebert from a model by his father, the late Philippe, private property and 21115 adornment Hebert, a descendant of the Acadians of whom Evangeline was one. It is a magnificent work of art, and was presented to the Park at Grand Pre by the Dominion Atlantic Railway, which is now part of the C.P.R. The Story of "Annie Laurie."'

However, a century and a quarter after William's time, Alicia Ann Spot- tiswoode saw the poem he had writ - tan, and which hall been given by An- nie Laurie herself to Charles Kirk- patrick Sharpe, who placed it In his collection of versos.

The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all hu- man help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera Infartum, dysentry and colic are most prevalent, Any of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. During the sum- mer mother's best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 26 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Largest Statue in World. What is to be the largest statue in the world is being built by an army of Japanese workmen on the isle of the Cow's Head in the Inland sea, which has been called the Mediterranean of Japan. The isle of the Cow's Head is is a work of private enterprise. The figure will be that of St, Nicht- ren, who founded the sect of Buddhism that bears his namo. In the wooden model the saint lies asleep, facing whovor sees him, his head pillowed ou a block and his left arm extended along his side. The trees and scenery of tbe isle of the Cow's Head will pro- vide an excellent sitting for the enor- mous statue, that is to be cut out of the solid rock front this model, The Colossus of Rhodos, at ono time one of the seven wonders e£ the world, is said to have been 120 feet high, a small thiug compared with the statue of Liberty, that stands 151 feet above the pedestal in New York harbor, But the Japanese statue will be of even greater magnitude. Following the line of the natural rock it will be a re- clining figure 240 foot long, and there- fore that much more impressive than the Buddha at Pegu, Burma, which measures 182 feet from head to foot.

Poison Ivy and Virginia Creeper. There is a very simple and easily re- membered way of telling poison ivy i from the Virginia Creeper, which it , very much resembles. Tho poison ivy Le a throe -leaved affair; the Virginia creeper has five leaflets to the loaf. That is, if there am five leaves grow- ing in a cluster, ono for each finger and the thumb, you may handle it without fear of being poisoned. It there are throe leaves growing i11 a cluster lot it alone; it is poisonous. As is generally known some people seem to be immune from poison ivy. They can handle it without 111 effects. Others aro so susceptible to the poison that they aro infected if they go near a plant, (welt without coming Into con- tact with it. The poison of ivy is a volatile oil that irritates the skin of many persons—so volatile, in fact, it is flying off the plant at all times. Of course, where the plant is bruised, there is a greater flow, This poison is easily overcome, how- ever, by many things. Alcohol rn1)b0d on the skin immediately will render it harmless, It would be a good idea for campers or those having occasion to bo in the vicinity whore poison ivy grows to carry a lotion of some ]rind Containing alcohol, and to bathe the exposed parts quickly or frequently. Butt Where the poison takes effect the thing to do Is to see a physician 'at bnee; do not depend upon home 1•enle- (Bes or take the advice of others dim the phystelnn 111 regard to the trouble, These patterns niay be obtained from your local McCall dealer, or from the McCall Co., 70 Bond Street, Toronto, Dept.
