THE LIMIT OE LEE

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines it's duration, seems to be be-
tween so and 60; the proper care of the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then being
fatal to longevity. Natures best helper
after so is Electric Bitters, the scientific

directions Of the President and the Secretary OF the

once has taken up the work OF recognizing the

veyors general in their respective divisions.
The method thus adopted It IS hoped. will make
the field force more compact. and will enable the
agents to appreciate that they have as their chief
one directly in authority to whom they can appeal
for instruction. support and advice 1t Is believed
that the method viii place the chief OF the field
division in such position that he organize and
direct from his local headquarters the work OF in
vestgation throughout his entire division 1t has
also been the purpose Of this Encouragement to
make II possible TO increase the number of agents
employed in the several districts in which the field
work Is OF the most important character, and In
which close investigation IS necessary TO prevent
fraud and Illegal entries and dispose Of suspended
as rapidly possible. The commissioner
hopes 20 detail and concentrate the force as 70
keep the department advised OF the principal land
frauds and Illegal efforts 90 acquire title TO the
