How Qoieklv and Neatly Wa Caa Da Jab Wark Best Trained Sixty-year-old Athlete Living, Declares Dr. H. F. Biggar. Cost Him $6,000,000 Ha Lost by Dropping Business When Run Down. That John D. Rockefeller will live to be more than ninety-four years of ago Is the prediction of Dr. H. F. Biggnr, his family physician, accord ing to a ( levelnnd special dispatch to the New York Times. Dr. Biggar watched .Mr. Rockefeller play over the Forest Hill links the other day and at the finish declared that the Stand ard OH magnate was certain to live for more than a quarter of a century longer. Mr. Rockefeller, who looked particu larly well, said he had never felt bet ter in his life and that he could eat anything. Longevity in the Rockefeller family has long been a matter of comment. William Rockefeller. John Rockefel ler’s father, is si ill living and is nine ty-four years old. Dr. II. F. Biggar, Mr. Rockefeller’s physician, said re cently that he saw’ no reason why the master of Forest Hill should not live longer than his father. “He is the l»est trained athlete In the sixty-year-old class In the world to day. and he’s sixty-eight at that.” he said. “He’ll live longer than his father. I’m sure. Did you see his strokes on the links this morning? Did they look feeble? “I tell you Mr. Rockefeller bas been born twice physically, and he Is only fourteen years old now. He Is grow T - ing up again, and growing up scien tifically adding to his muscle, to his lungs, to his boart power, with every breath of fresh air he takes on Forest Hill and with every drive he makes with the golf club.” And It cost Mr. Rockefeller $5,000,- 000 for this second life. These are his own words. It happened this way, according to Dr. Biggar: Mr. Rockefeller came to Cleveland in 1808 In the middle of the panic period completely broken In health and spirit too. He could eat nothing which would nourish him. His appe tite was gone, and his nervous system was a wreck. “Doctor, I’m a sick man. I’m afraid I’m going to die. Bu^ it Is not on account of the financial situation that I am sick,” he told the doctor. “It Is through disappointment of my friends.” And he asked the doctor to help him. After a few days of close study Dr. Biggar went to Mr. Rockefeller with this prescription. “Drop all business cares, take regular exercise, keep In the open air, forget everything but play, and play as though your life de pended upon it.” And bis life did depend upon It. Mr. Rockefeller carried ont the doctor’s prescription and dieted religiously. He commenced to look over golf books. He stopped In Cleveland for a month and then began to look up the maps to find out w’bere Sew York was. He had forgotten almost that there was inch a place. When he went east be was a new John D. Rockefeller. “I was happy at the resnlt,” said Dr. Biggar. “Mr. Rockefeller made a re markable psitlent, an ideal one. Al though he had a terrible weight of re sponsibility then, he dropped every thing to ho healthy. A few’ years later we were talking of bis recovery. Mr. Rockefeller said to me, ‘Doctor, do you know’ how much it cost me to get wellT I told him of course I didn’t. “ ‘Well, doctor,* he said, ’It cost me Just $5,000,000. I lost that much by dropping business.* “But he never for a moment regret ted that, and neither have I, for It .gave him a second life. He’s stronger now than I am. He Is stronger than any business man In the city of Cleve land today who Is anywhere near his age. He is a wonderful man, full of vitality. He never touched a drop of liquor in his life. He does not smoke. He is leading the most simple life Im aginable, and yet It is the strongest life. He can swing an ax as easily as he can a golf club. Why, Mr. Rockefel ler Is husky, actually husky. He’ll live to eee all of us In our graves.” And Mr. Rockefeller himself seemed the other day to feel that he was pos sessed of more than ordinary vitality. “I have never felt better, gentlemen, I think, In my life than I feel tills morning,” he remarked to the party of golfers on the links. “I can eat any thing, drink milk and cream and sleep well. I like Forest Hill for the lake breezes, and these have made me feel like a new man.” State Tree For Illinois. On the suggestion of Mrs. J. C. Fee ler of Rochelle, 111., the pupils of the Rochelle public schools, with the co operation of their superintendent, ask the other schools of Illinois to join them In a voting contest to decide what shall be the state iree, the re sult of this vote to be communicated to the state leglslaure, with the re quest that a bill be passed declaring the tree so chosen to be the Illinois state tree, says the Pleasant Hill Mes senger. Teachers ere asked to bars their schools study trees, to the end that an Intelligent vote may be east, and to send the result of this vote to Mrs. Fesler by March 8, 1908, so that If possible the result may be glrwn In the Arbor day circular to be sent out asst April by the supsMataadont of public Instruction. THE UMPIRE. How Ho Feels When the Excited Mob Demands Hie Blood. Bob Eiuslic, the veteran umpire of the National league, was asked «!'e other day where he kept himself when he w isn’t on the bull field. “I mind my own business,” he re plied. “But. say, here; come bail.. I didn’t mean that iu an offensive way. It is literally true. I go away from the field and try to forget all about my business.” “But what 1 meant,” said his friend, “was that a baseball umpire see.us m be such a general outcast from a!, humankind that I have frequent!, wondered if he didn’t creep into a hob as soon as the Iasi man was ou. a...! remain there until the bell rings for (be next game.” “Not at all,” was the reply. “The baseball umpire goes to his dressing ro.»m when the game is over, changes his clothes and leaves the field to min gle with his fellow men just as liie ha!! piayerdoes, for. under.-naml ihh I don’t believe there is a man umpiring who doesn’t do his level, conscientious host. Therefore, when the game is at an end. whatever may have marked (be progress of the game, he ha dear < nscierec and i in much heUei condition to enjoy his dinner than some of those who have treated him like a crook during the game.” “Tell me,” Ihnslie was asked, h».*’ a man feels in the u He of an menu v.ith in.tiio people on all sides r'*vi ng him. calling him robber and demand lug Ins blood." L.mslie smiled.

Bet. v. '.:.* . o! 1 < .• new in the bm-’ino.’s, the er entious umpire steels himself again ( rny loss of nerve by the fe ii- g h* has done his best in rendering the decision that is criticised, and he is for tilled further by the knowledge that he was closer to the play than any one save the players and therefore knows. “I think the thing that gets an um pire most Is to have old friends among the players jump on him. Of course he expects his best friend to protest if a decision on a close play is against him, but when It comes to profanity and that sort of thing an umpire, be ing a human being, feels just as you would. It's a hard job at best, but I 'guess no harder than any other, and when a man does his best he finds sat Isfaction in that which outweighs all the jeers, hisses and groans. You may get a notion of how effective Is that philosophy when you consider bow few baseball umpires ever answer back or give any sign that the protests of the players or the shouts of the crowd have been noticed by them.”—New York American.

But Malaria means more than this ; it is a systemic bio id poip, which undermines the hc-alth and gives rise to innumerable and sonn tits serious disorders and diseases if the poison is allowed to remain in the bid. As the blood becomes more and more polluted with the malarial poisonjie digestion becomes deranged, chills and fever are frequent, skin hiseJs, boils and carbuncles, and sores and ulcers break out on the fled’ and jer awhile the foundation is laid for other diseases which either pr< ve fatjor permanently undermine and wreck the health.
