That the country is the place to ac-

that has been exploded by the United

tofore been advised to go to the hills,

lake and river, where there is an unin-
terrupted prospect and the air of heav-
en- has a free sweep, but now this ad-
vice must be changed and the pent up,

census authorities are right.
According to the official figures the
city has a decided advantage over the
rural districts In the matter Of human
longevity. The average age reached in
the cities is $50 years and In the coun-

The advantage Of pure air IN the coun'
try is apparently more than Offset by
