This,'as Will Rogers would say, is written on the train traveling from Washington to New York. Millions of Americans will be glad to hear that the President, seen two hours ago, seemed in per fect health, full of energy, and, amid all the Nicaragua-Mexico ex citement, calm as a Vermont elm. What appears to interest the President just now is internal im provement, projects for canals from the farms and facilities to the sea, and development of un used waters for power and irriga- ion, in particular development of the Colorado River. President Coolidge speaks just so fast, and no faster. He knows wery word that he is going to say before be says it. Words do not come out and surprise him, as hap pens with others. You can't hurry him, or choose his subject for him. And as for holding him back, when he means to go in a certain direction, why, to “draw up the Leviathan with a hook” would be child's play, com pared with it Chinese mobs are looting Chris tian churches. Too bad, and it fills us with horror. Americans, British, French and other t ravel- «rs brought home all sorts of loot from Chines# temples after the Boxer uprising. But that was different, the Chinese are only heathens. % Charles Chaplin, never very heavy, has lost 18 pounds since his latest worries began. The worst illness is MENTAL illness. Chaplin who has made millions happy ami never .made anybody unhappy, would seem to have a just com plaint against fate. The Senate rejects the Lausanne treaty, so this country remains cut off from official acquaintance with Turkey and that energetic dictator, Kemal Pasha. The treaty is re jected because it doesn't provide adequate protection for Christians, or any solution of the etehial Ar menian question. The rejection of the treaty is largely a triumph for Christians missionaries. Twenty was the average age at which men diet! in the year 1650. In 1850 the average age was forty. In 1875 it- was forty-five, ami now it is fifty-eight. . , The able Dr. Mayo supplier those figures. With the right kind of living, ten years can be added to present average, and we begin wise living at the right age. Thf famous "Luigi Comarb, however, given up to die after forty, lived wisely and passed 100. American business . men, Dr. Mayo says, “lack girth control.” Too much fat means shorter life. The dangerous dge for woman is sixteen to eighteen. The danger ous age for man is from fifty to fifty-five. At that age he becomes foolish. . , • —« I SW..1 P 1 LiOCai 1HCI.

We expect to be able to announce a further reduction in all rates within the next few months. In order to make possibe these reductions in rates it is necessary that we insist upon bills for service being paid promptly when due. When you fail to pay your bill for electric service yon not only make it hard on the company serving you, bnt you nthke it doubly hard by preventing rates being reduced as rapidly as they could be if these bills were paid. Most of the bills are compartive- ly small and by paying them as they come due it will not work a hardship on any one, i** ‘ • * V" * ‘ ■ EDISTO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY - - - SOUTH CAROLINA >♦♦♦♦♦♦< I
