TftE HOUSTON POST: TU-DAY MORNiiNG. JULY 13 1920.
CGRET OF YOUTH :
ICUim' LIYED
-BY CHARLES BOOT
Keep - Cool Keep v Calm
Keep Sweet Is His
Rule of Three .
From the New Terk Timet.
President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot
of Harvard aniversity on ef lie nost
respected of living Americans is nat-
n rally asked m he approaches 00 he is
Bow in kit eighty-seventh' J ear how he
accounts for his mental and physical
rigor at such an adTaoced age. This is
kia answer:
A soood constitution never impaired by
any serious disesse or accident a calm
temperament expectant of good the
habit of taklnx dally exercise in the open'
air moderation in eating and a slight and
never steady nor regular use of stim-
ulants lie tea coffee alcohol and to-
bacco. The key to this distinguished man's
system of keeping young is his "calm
temperament expectant of food." He
was born an optimist He has cultivated
'optimism steely: never has he allowed
himself to get i (cited about anything
even about the reforms in which he was
most interested. Keeping cool keeping
calm keeping sweet that ) the way to
become a young old man. Nothing else
matters greatly. Von may take exercise
m the open air every day and be spar-
ing in the use of stimulants withont
learning the secret of extending the
Psalmist's age many years.
Joan Burroughs once explained his 90
years and more by saying that be had
always minded his own business. That
was not the secret or Clemenceau iu the
judgment of his contemporaries would
have died long ago. Jjhn Hurroughs is
an example of the calm temperament. A
man who has played with chipmunks and
conversed with birds was en rely bora
calm. Mr. Burroughs has been so busy
keeping on good terms with four-footed
and feat her J creatures all his waking
hours that he never had time to think of
the business of otr people. Ckarlea W.
Kliot is not quite like that. He has been
an active militant reformer and there-
fore he has meddled a good deal with
people who needed reforming. But
throogk It all kia temperament has func-
tioned flawlessly. The excitement has
beta on U part of the other fallows.
Ia period of failure and disappointment
Mr. Kliot' s optimism kaa saved aim from
wear and tear. Ta grow old and at the
same time to lose youth slowly it is
necessary to hope for the best as well
as to be ea. ia every crises.
Tha president etneritas of Harvard
thinks that be was once saved from a
physical breakdown by riding horseback
and cruising about the New England
coast in a small sloop These forma of
exercise which most of us will oavy
him in tha retrospect undoubtedly helped
to keep his body in tune with his ideals
hot be did not break dowa because be
bad the cahn temperament and because
nothing could dim his optimiam. Too
much stress can not be laid upon the calm
temperament by advisers oa the popular
theme after 50 how to prevent old age.
"Quick" Sflver Obtained
From Sulphur Mixture
Mercury m called "ojuick" silver be-
cause it seems as If alive so lively ia the
way ia wkich it runs about It it a
I fluid that ia to say molten at tem
peratures which render other metals
solid. .
The ore from which it is derived is a
mixture of sulphur aud mercury called
"cinnabar" and whea very pure ia in
color a brilliant vermilion. It is from
this source indeed thst vermilion ased
to be obtained. Nowadays however it
is usually made by heating mercury to-
gether with sulphur potash and wator.
To get the mercury from the ore It is
necessary merely to separate it from the
sulphur with which it is chemically com-
bined and this is accomplished by roast-
ing. The ore goes from the crusher into
a furnace where high beat volatile the
quicksilver the latter being thereupon
precipitated pure in a water-jacketed
condenser." Out of the condenser it
runs in a silvery stream and ia put up
ia wrought iron flasks for market.
Some tribes of California Indians have
used cinnabar for red paint since "pre-
historic times frescoing their faces and
bodies with it and it was observation of
this circumstance that led to the discov-
ery of the famous quicksilver minea of
that tate. Occasionally a miner's pick
penetrates s pocket that contains a cup-
ful or so of pure mercury.
When reduced by low temperature ta
a solid quicksilver becomes very malle-
able and can be beaten into sheets as
thin as tissue paper.
The metil has a strong affinity for
gold and is much nsed in connection with
jold mtniug luring the war its price
multiplied teniold. owing to the need of
fnlmina'd of mercury for cartridge caps
shell fuses and detonatois for all sorts
lot projectiles.
EMPLOYES' HOLES

.OF U.S. EMPLOYERS
Family Homes in Attractive
Settings Mean Labor
Stability
From the Iron Trade Review;
One of the most significant aspects of
the transformation being wrought ia
American industrial conditions is the work
accomplished by employers ia providing
their employe with homes Dot merely
"hooaea" hot real borne a. It is aot a
new field for their activities "cmapany
aeaees long having bees part of certain
industrial establishments bnt the field
Is being developed to an intensive degree.
Esjsieyeri Take Steps.
Moat employers have given math
thought to the matter because of condi-
tions ariatu from the shortage of 1.000-
000 houses m Urn United States and a
large proportion of them have made ap-
propriations to finance their employes.
The result has been that fewer families
f working-men are Hvmg ta ho-vela and
mora are acquiring homes of a type
which a few years ago were beyond their
means. The co-operation which employ-
ers generally hare given their employee
toward tat rwrment of their ideals
suggests that ia many cases those who
coniinn o lire in cramped insanitary
and unsightly qcarters do so by reason
of natural preference.
Families living ia homes amid at-
tractive surroundings are the best guar-
antee this co try has against the en-
croachments of destructive elements. The
work that the various companies are
doing in promoting borne ownership is the
best protection they bare against the
sinister influence of agitators.
Uswerthy Criticism.
Claims that this policy is a recrudes-
cence of the bsronial or feudal system
that it threatens the independence of
workers are not worthy of consideration.
Rentals charged for homes which are not
sold are from 50 to 100 per cent less
than the open market. If through lack
of foresight on the part of the govern-
ment or the greed of the rent profiteers
the workmen in this country are made to
suffer it is not for any one to criticise
employers for taking the initiative and
