CURFEW AND THE HOME.
Benjamin Harrison said the
curlew law was ‘the most im
portant municipal regulation for
the protection of Ihe children of
American homes, from Ihe vices
of the street, of the present cen
tury.” The law has been warm
ly approved by many other elli—
zens of distinction who well know
Ihe temptations lo which chil
dren on the streets at night are
exposed. Il is lo tie hoped that
the fathers and mothers of Ta
coma will cordially eo-nperale
with the municipal authorities in
the enforcement of Ihe? curfew
ordinance. The season of short
er days and longer nights is here
and the city ordinance says that
children shall he off the streets
by K o'clock.
At a meeting Mils week ul I In*
social service hoard il was voted
to ask Commissioner Lawson of
the light department lo cause, the
lights to he "winked" three times
at 8 o'clock in the evening as a
general notice lo the public of
the hour at which children are
to he at. home. This plan has
been followed in other cities with
success, and il impresses one as
being good for Tacoma.
Members of the social service
board will co-operate with the
police department in warning
children and in notifying in a
friendly way the parents wlm may
overlook the provisions of the or
dinance. Arrests should and will
he avoided wherever il is possi
ble lo obtain compliance without
following that course. And yel
if the ordinance is lo he respect
ed it will he necessary lo deal
(irmly willi some cases.

TO LIVE TO BE A CENTENAR
IAN.
The Japanese are said to have
adopted a mode of living that
promises, barring accidents,
about a hundred years of life to
every person who follows the
rules. Many of the rules are
most commendable and do'not
exact privations from those who
seek to fo.low them. One of
them, however, is a stickler in
that it involves giving up coffee,
and there are some people who
think that a century without cof
fee would, in King Charles’ words,
be “an unconscionable time a
dying.” But perhaps the' coffee
clause in the Japanese recipe for
----
living a century is not one trf
the most important.
The first essential of this east
ern specific for longevity is to
get married. Here, too, there are
confirmed old bachelors who will
declare that, sixty years of sin
gle blessedness is better worth
while than a cycle of wedded
bliss. Hut they are in the mi
nority and may be set oil' against
the confirmed spinsters who, for
getting the examples set them
by their mothers, view all men
with aversion. Happy married
life makes for placidity and re
pose, and these are things which,
in turn, make for long life. Then
you must sleep i:t least seven
hours in a dark room and the
windows must be kept wide open.
The! hour of going to bed should
be a nearly one; early, too, should
be the rising. East and West
agree on the wisdom of I he old
couplet:
Early lo bed and early lo rise
Makes a man heallhy, wealthy
and Wise.
The Japanese favor modera
tion as warmly as did Aristotle
of old, who set virtue in the mean
between extremes. They bid us
shrink from all excess of pas
sion; from anger which consum
es and bitterness that corrodes;
from joy and sorrow 'save in such
restraint as makes the p rson
who experiences them their mas
ter. The emotions should not
be allowed lo manifest them-j
selves in the face. Nor should
we work too much, nor think too
much. Ealing should be indulg
ed in moderation, especially in
hot weather. The Japanese are
earnesi minevers m living in me
open. Frequent, battling is an
other of their pel beliefs. They
believe in the taking of baths
twice a day, or even more fre
quently. Hut first and last they
Counsel |he way of matrimony as
the way of health. "It is not
good for man to lie alone ’—no,
nor woman either.
Without doubt life ,may be
prolonged and health maintained
by the observance of most .of the
rules laid, down in the Japanese
recipe for longevity, but tho. great
[trouble is that most men ignore
such rules until they have
wrought injury by dissipation to
the vital forces which must be
relied upon to help them to the
century mark. The person who
wants to live to a hundred should
begin practicing the Japanese
code early in life.
