AVERAGE AGE
Of Man Should Be 40 Years Instead
of 50,

From What to Eat.
1t is a sad commentary upon our scholar
ship and our civilization that the average
life of man today should be somewhere
between thirty and thirty-five years. With
all our scientific advance and our knowledge
Of hygiene and sanitation we have cut
down the life Of man, to nearly one-sixth
since the days of Abraham and Isaac. We
have 1t on good authority that Abra ham
lived It's years and that Isaac died at the
ripe old age of $50. being full Of years and
Of days. Jobs life was full of trials,
boils and vicissitudes, and yet he was 10
years old when he gave up the ghost. Prof.
Eli Metchnikoff Of the Pasteur ms -tute
has fixed the minimum limit of mans life
at 40 years. Having lived a natural and
scientific life from birth. indeed. man need
not expect to shuttle of his mortal coil at
40. At that time of life he will merely
begin to feel himself full of days" Prof
MetchnikOH shows that mans vermiform
appendix Is a mortal disharmony for whose
useful existence we must go back to herb
eating creatures like the rabbit, in which
1t fulflls notable function in the digesting
of raw vegetable matter. In man 1t is
nothing but a death-trap, one Paris hos
pital having treated 443 cases of appendi-
citis In five years
And what is the scientific conclusion from
all this? Man cannot wait for his great in
testine to disappear in the course of the
ages, and he does not care to run the risk
of having 1t cut out. And yet 1t is the
theory of Prof. Metchnikoff that the phe
nomena of senility and old age is due di-
rectly to the microbes Of the large intes-
tines, which are continually breaking down
the higher cells of our structure. The only
course is to fight the intestinal microbe
and as there are 12S, 600 OOO OoO, 900 of him
formed each day. it will be seen that the
job is no summer-day picnic. The professor
speaks highly of buttermilk, and warns US
to beware of all uncooked products of the
microbe-infested earth-salads, artichokes,
Strawberries, melons, onions, cucumbers
celery radishes, turnips, carrots, cabbage
Unless they are thoroughly cooked they
should not enter into the human organism
BY rigid adherence to this theory of ali
mentation and with the aid Of certain cyto-
toxic serums prepared in the Pasteur In
stitute man may fight off old age. He will
not grow old at 90, 20 and so, as he does
now. Whether the theories of Prof. Metch-
nikoff are scientifically sound or not there
is little doubt that man was designed to
live to a much greater age than he now at
tains and that longevity Is even now q
question of rational, hygienic living

Lockup-officer Reads Up on
Domestic Experience.

A little man with a big jag was picked up
by Bicycle Patrolman Davis on the avenue
few nights ago. 1t. was but a short dis
lance to police station No. / and the officer
walked the man there. e
The little man gave his name, which the
police refused to divulge, and his age as
forty five years. He told where he lived,
but asked that it be kept mum on account
of his wife.
She'll twit me of it, if she ever hears of
it, he said, almost sobered by the thought
Of that possibility.
Then he lapsed into silent, disconsolate
meditation and seemed to be oblivious while
the officer searched him.
Hello, what's this % exclaimed the officer,
scanning long sheet Of yellow wrapping
paper that he had fished out of the prison.
er's pocket.
The little man continued to be as disin-
terested as If he was made Of wood. But the
policeman was all attention to the paper.
He spread 1t out and looked at 1t with as
much eagerness as II 1t was cipher mes
sage giving secret information concerning
some robbers roost where untold booty
might be found II he could discover the key
to it.
What the Paper Contained.
So intent was the bluecoat on the paper
that mystif1ed him that he began to read
1t aloud. The tense expression of his face
relaxed when he had read few lines. Here
are some Of the things he was heard to
read:
October S-Stayed out late. She got mad
at me and called me a loafer.
October 9-Came home early. Found her
out. and she didn't get home until 10
o'clock.
October 10-sunday. Stayed at home all
day. All quiet
October 11-Told her had tried to get
work, but couldn't find it. Blowed quite
bit about it.
October 12-Home early, took bath.
October 13-Party. Home late. House
dark; wouldn't talk to me.
October A-She went to the theater.
Gone all afternoon and left door open.
October 49, am booZing.
October 1871 am BOOKING.
October III am boozng.
October 49, am booking; mad al me.
October 19-Mad at me.
October 2O-Mad at me- Wanted to kiss
her goodbye. She wouldn't let me.
October 21-Won't speak to me. Still
boozing, but going to quit.
October 22-Going to quit tonight
October 23-Quit for sure, tomorrow.
started again evening. Mad at me-"
The officer ceased reading half way down
the paper. He had seen a light.
ooh, this is sort Of diary you're keep
ing, is it? Keeping tabs on yourself and
your wife, eh?'' he said to the prisoner.
For moment that far-aWay look left the
little mans eyes and he nodded assent. He
went meekly to his cell thinking his
thoughts all to himself. n

THEY SEEK TO EVADE
THE PURE FOOD Law
Many Manufacturers and Merchants
Employ Meaningless Labels.

Members of the state dairy and food
department are finding much trouble
with manufacturers and merchants
who are trying to evade the terms of
the food laws and still not lay them
selves open to penalty.
In many cases labels are placed upon
goods in compliance with the law, but
the labels themselves are not quite in
the form prescribed by law.
Nov, look at that label, for exam
pie" said Inspector George bingham
yesterday, pointing to can of baking
powder on which was small white
paster, reading: 'SThis baking powder
contains nothing but pure soda, phos-
phate, alum and starch
THAT doesn't mean anything" said
Mr.. bingham, for it might be pasted
on any old can of baking powder by
any person. The law prescribes a par
ticular form of label and requires that
the name of the firm shall appear on
the label. But that one is not in proper
form and there is no name upon it at
all.
How are we to know whether it is
put up by the manufacturer or the re-
taller. Some of the firms that we have
the most trouble with in this way are
among the largest manufacturers in
the country and they seem to be trying
to see just how far they can go with
out getting outside the law"

EDITORS MAY CHANGE
DATE OF PUBLICATION
Lssatity of Paper Not Affected Says
Attorney General.

Newspapers of this state published
weekly-ef otherwise at regular Pc
riods-may change their days of pub
lication without thereby affecting their
standing in law for the purpose of
publishing legal notices.
That is the substance of an opinion
issued yesterday from the office of
the attorney general in response to a
number of inquiries that have been re-
ceived recently.
It Is stated, in the opinion. that this
ruling must not be construed as mean
ing that notices running at a time
when days of publication are changed.
are not affected by this change, but
merely as applying to the status of
the paper itself
The question of legality of Individual
notices would differ in different in
stances, according to the laws provid-
ing for the publication of those no
tees. The nature of the change OF
days also might make some difference,
as for example, in the case of a paper
changing it's day of publication from
Monday to Saturday. and in the course
of the shift publishing two papers in
the same calendar week.
