AMONG the principal things which
operate to lengthen out the period of
effective human life nowadays are
better food supplies than our fore
fathers had-gained through the APP
plication of scientific methods to food
production-better cooking; more
general distribution of better kinds of
clothing; better sanitation in every
form; better observance of the laws
OF health and hygiene; better methods
and appliances for preserving and re-
storing health, and better everything
upon which life depends, and in the
proper use of which it is easily and
surely prolonged.

likely TO be that the elevators will give
up their public franchises and become
private and the law will be left to take
care of itself.
