Quain, In his Medical Dictionary, ar
bitrarily defines advanced life as the
period between sixty.two and eighty
two, and the time OF old age beyond
that period. But the infirmities of
age are measured, not so much by
length OF days as by the integrity OF
the bodily functions. and the sound
ness of the organic structures.
The question, How much work Is
normal and rational for eachy must
be answered according to the past life
and present condition OF each indl-

with the advent OF the cold wealth
or the doors and windows are closed,
largely shutting out the purifying in
fuences OF the fresh air which has so
freely circulated through the house
during the warmer season.
The rude habitations of our pioneer
ancestors, with their capacious open
freplaces. were superior to our mod
ern palatlal dwellings in that there
was always possible an abundant sup
ply OF fresh air Houses of the pres
ent day in our civilized land are made
as nearly air-tight as architectural
skill can secure, and unless provided
with some systematic mechanical
means of ventilating, the indoor air is
constantly contaminated with breath
polsons and other impurities resulting
from the heating and lighting and
cooking within the house, so as to
be a constant menace to the health OF
the inmates.
Probably the best means Of proyid-
ing the needed supply of fresh air, is
the open fire with wlde-mouth chin
ney to act as ventilator. The open
crate is likewise the most healthful
means Of heating house; although
so far as fuel alone is concerned. It Is
not the most economical. Weighed In
the balance with the saving in health,
however, It may be considered mat
ter OF economy.
II other means OF heating be en-
| ployed. good ventilation can be Sc
cured only by some special arrange
ment for the incoming of fresh air
and the outgoing OF foul air. How
this may be well accomplished is best
told in the words Of a well known au-
thority on the subject: The foul air
outlet should be constructed on the
plan OF the fireplace-an opening near
the floor connected with the chimney
or an upright ventilating shaft, the
top OF which should extend above the
roof like a chimney. The ventilating
shaft should always be located in an
inside wall and II possible, should
be placed next to n chimney which is
always warm. The chimney heats
the duct and increases the draft.
"The opening for the outlet OF i'm.
pure air should be at the bottom Of
the room when the house is heated
by furnace or by other means which
warns the fresh air before It is ad-
mitted to the rooms. II the fresh air
Is admitted cold, the foulair outlet
should be at higher level. The best
point is perhaps at about four feet
from the floor. This will secure a
thorough admixture OF the air. II the
outlet is at the floor, the cold fresh
air admitted TO the room will pass
out before Il has been warmed and
used, while the hot foul air viii &C
cumulate In the upper part OF the
room, and thus the change Of air will
be imperfect.
Two openings must be provided "a
secure proper ventilation. one for the
entrance of fresh air, the other for
the exit OF foul air II is in every
way better that the air should be
heated, at least partially, before II
enters the room. as this will to a
large degree prevent the formation OF
cold layer about the floor"

A railroad man gives the Silver State
further particulars about the Battle
Mountain wind storm:
Saturday night about 9 o'clock a reg
ular Kansas cyclone swept over the
country just west of Battle Mountain
and considerable damage is reported.
Along it's path, trees. fences and sage
brush were torn up and fifty-two tele-
graph poles were twisted into splinters.
The cyclone travelled in a southeasterly
direction and it's north end touched
Battle Mountain with disastrous results.
Fences were blown over chimneys were
carried away and big windmill on the
lawn of the Hancock hotel was blown
over. falling upon a portion of the house,
caving in the roof and side. Although
1t was only the extreme edge that
struck the town, buildings trembled to
an alarming degree. badly frightening
their occupants. Telegraphic communi-
cations were cut off to western points
from Battle Mountain for a number of
hours.
The course of the cyclone Ia plainly
marked for a long distance. where al
trees, sagebrush, etc., were torn up bv

GRINDING THE COFFEE
Are There Grounds for Its Taxa
tion for Revenue

1t looks now as If the government
must have more revenue, and If it wants
the most feathers with the least
squawk.' suggests the American Gro
Ger, it is in order to put a duty on
coffee. which is now free of duty, ard
the consumption of which in this coun-
try is rapidly increasing. The importa-
tions for 1904 amounted to 1,116 6922 FOL
pounds at an average va ue of about 8
cents a pound. This formerly paid a
duty of 8 cents a pound and it can stand
this rate of duty very well.
This would yield over s33. 900, 900 ard
there is no other item which would yield
so much revenue with so little inco,l-
venience to the public. The duty wouid
tend to raise the quality of the imports
and wou d not affect retail cost to an
extent that would check consumption. as
past experience has demonstrated that
part of the duty is paid by the pro-
ducers. Is not this worthy of the con
sderation of the President and his ad-
visers?
