maker, who was serving life sentence
in the penitentiary here for the MUIR

Are You Growing OldY

"When is man old" is a question
that has been debated more than once.
DR.. Haydn Brown, the author of 1.-THE
Secret Of Good Health" refuses to
state any particular age. but fxes it
at the time when men show themselves
distinctly less capable Of transacting
business than they were formerly;
when they go through a daily routine
with less alacrity, walking stitHy, talk
ing childishly, eating capriciously and
exhibiting the wearing effects of time
in countless different ways. Men
who have grown fairly old so far as
years indicate, but retain their phys
ical and, mental capabilities unim-
paired, are advised not to relinquish
their business or profession. Such
action, it has been found, has-frequent-
ly bad influence on the health.
