EATING FOR HIS LIFE. Story of On* Man Who Did Not Dig His Qravt With His Tssth. In the American Magazine a writer cites the case of Lulgl Comoro, to whom he acknowledged his debt of health. "Luigi," he says, "was an Italian nobleman of the middle ages. lie had money enough and leisure enough so that Satan found plenty of work for his Idle bands during his tlrst forty years. About his fortieth,birthday he fell sick, and the doctors told him to make his will, as he could not possibly live another year. "Lulgl died at 104 painlessly, 'as one who passes into a sweet sleep.' in tin words of liis granddaughter. "What gave him those extra sixty four years of life? Not doctors?lie had nothing to do with them; not med icine; not. exercise. Lulgl simply stop l>od eating! He made a careful study of himself to discover just how little food he could eat and still fqel well. Out of this study he soon learned the valuable truth that 'most men dig their graves with their teeth.' "Most men die because they have so loaded their bodies with excess food that their organs of elimination have broken under the strain. Most men are tired because they are self poison ed with too much food. All this Luigl discovered and wrote fn a bo<&fc_xaarierf the 'Temperate Life.' "Aside from the fact that I belong to a family that grows stronger as it grows older, I owe to Luigl more than to any one else the good health and happiness which I enjoy today at thir tyr Psrfsot Postry.

My l)oar Buck: You wonder whore the spoon gets its big drug with the fishermen; well, old top, for trolling and casting, the old reliable spoon Is probably uioro genorally used than any other kind of lure. You can chock this up in your memory book, it often guts tho flsh when other lures fail to coax tho big fins out of tho wot. Of course the spoon don't look like any natural bait, nor does It appear to the beginner as a particularly attrac tive feed for a hungry fish, but it does the one thing necessary in the fishing game, and that is, it attracts the fish. After you have had a spoon bent double by an over-zealous fish trying to inhale It, you will realize that It Is sure some attractor. Accidental Discovery of Spoon. Way back In your A, D. C days, so piscatorial historians claim, an old sour-dough was washing his ono spoon and plate after a repast of Johnny cake and bacon, when by accident the spoon flopped into the water and did a salome down to the bottom. As the spoon zlg-zagged down through the water he noticed the quick, sharp flashes of light ,reflectod from the bowl of th? spoon, and at the same time a lake trout, getting the light flashes, made a lunge {or the spoon, dulled his toeth on it and beat it. Thanks to the old "hard-panner" and his ability to assimilate an idea, we have the legion of spoon baitB today. He rescued the spoon, cut off the bowl, bored a hole in each end, linked a hook in one end and a line in the other, and ate fish for supper that night. The changes that have been made In the old original spoon in shape, size and decorations, runs up into the hundreds. They are plain, fluted, grooved, hammered, corrugated, rib bed, and whatnot, and as long as they spin around in the wa ter they got tho fish. You can got them in gold, silver, nickel, copper, brass or enamel, and if you tried out the whole kit, you'd be busy tho rest of the season without a layoff for grub. Great Stuff for Trolling. For trolling tho spoon hook will hold its own any time. Iiass, pickerel, pike and muskio like to give it the once-over as it glides through the wa ter shooting its light shafts in all di rections. It can bo seen for quite a distance under water and can bo used either with plain hooks or with a feathered or buck-tailed treble hook. A single hook with a minnow, shiner, frog or pork rind works well with a spoon. For bass, a No. 3 tandem Hilde brandt 611m 'Eli or Standard shape or a Skinner No. 3 Fluted Spoon makes a selection that will help All the stringer, while pickerel and muakle require a larger sized spoon, say a No. 6 to 10r for a single spoon, and No. 6 for the tandem spinner. For casting you will need a No. 3 single cpoon which you can use with out any other buit or with an eyed fly or natural baita. A atrip of pork rind cut to the shape of a minnow and used with the No. 3 sp'oon makea a bait that is a sure enough "killer." As long as you keep it moving fti the water, a spoon will turn around and you have a chance at attracting the flsh, but leaving it die a alow death, and merely come through the water without any action is a loss of time to you. It's the movement and the light shafta from the spoon that attract the flsh, and it's,up to you to keep the bait moving. On its way to glory the little old spoon haa even been copped by the trout fisherman and on a dull day a small Colorado spinner can be seen better than the fly alone. Often when the trout falls to take the fly on the aurface, they will give it the "close up"-if sunk to the depth where they lie, with a spoon for a helper. Early In the season when the waters are high and roily as well as clouded with mud, the apinner is an asset to the trout fisherman. For after-dark fishing, which is the time the big ones are generally on the still hunt for feed, the Ptiueger-Tan dem luminous spinner makes a good bait. Thia is also fine for moon light trolling. The luminous spinner must be exposed to the sunlight be fore using at night, the same aa the artificial plugs used for night fishing. When all other lures fall you can generally count on getting the flah If you fall back on the spoon, either in trolling or casting, and your tackle box is not complete, old man, unleaa you are prepared for emergencies with a selection of single and tandem spoons and apinners in nickel, brass and cop per. Just remember this, however, keep thefa well polished and when you use them, keep 'em moving. DIXIE. "I'M FKO>l MISSOIKI <ieoesis of ^hiiioiis Phrase <alvfu by ( Dyer. Itepreseutatlvc I.. <*?
