The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent me,dcal scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the general accepted limitation of hui
man life is many years below the at
ta'nment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is no n
possessed. The critical PERIOD that de-
termines its duration, seems to be-
tween SO and 90, the proper care of the
body Outing this decade cannot be too
strongly urged carelessness then being
fatal.to longevity; Natures best help
er after 90 is Electric Bitters, the sclen-

"UNWRITTEN LAW"

Jack HarWood was bad one, tall,
stringy. fast and game;
He never drew his gun too late and
never pulled up lame.
The fighting men Of Tucson knew his
record all too WELL
And when his horse loped into town a.
death-like silence fell.
Once, in the town Of Tombstone, not
many years ago,
He shot two faro dealers and four
Greasers in row;
And once, at Twin Buttes mining
camp. when things were break
ing wrong,
Three gun men bit the sawdust, never
more to hear the CONS.
Jack wasn't altogether bad, SC his con-
stituents said;
His better nature showed at times
when he was in his bed.
And so, for fifteen years or more. his
fortunes seemed to thrive,
BY reason (for the most part) Of his
lightning forty-flve.
When Phoenix Phil, the gambler,
grabbed an ace off Harwood's
knee,
He chuckled. wal. a jokes a joke!"
and added, Let him be!''
Thus things went on from bad to
worse, Jack living on his name,
Until he stole broncho and was cap
tured with the same.
The trial was short and sudden-no
attorney used his jaw
Jack standing pat, for his defense, on
''The Unwritten Law
This was the plea he uttered, and his
words cut like knife;
Il stole that broncho from a man that
tried to steal my wife!"
Next morning Jack was swinging from
little trees green crest
And this so how 1.-THE Unwritten Law

RAILROADS REPORT
LOSS IN EARNINGS

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 25.-According
to compiled statements made by Off,
Gals Of the various Missouri railroads.
the operate of the two-cent passen-
ger fare law has cost the Missouri rail-
roads $1,500000 during the past three
months The law became effective in
Missouri June II and by agreement
with Attorney General Hadley the rail-
roads decided to reduce their fare and
test the law until October /. It was
announced today that the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe; Wabash, Missouri
Pacific; Burlington, Chicago &. Alton
and other trunk lines have joined to
fight the further enforcement of the
law and will submit statements show
ing the effect Of the 2-cent fare law
to Federal Judge Mcpherson at Kansas
City about October Is.
According to figures compiled by the
railroad companies based on actual re-
ports of earning, a loss of $1,5OO.OO0
has resulted in earnings during the
three months that the law has been in
effect.

the majority of these countries the
maximum weight is eleven pounds, ard
to none is the permitted weight less
than four pounds six ounces. The
packages may be three feet six inches
in length or six feet in length and

This service is given, even though
domestic parcels can not exceed four
pounds in weight and cost cent an
ounce or 16 cents a pound. At the
cheaper foreign rate packages may be
carried the full length of the United

And even more striking 1iscrimin-
alton against domestic service is to be

as commercial paper including
deeds invoices, manuscript, etc.. etc.
This can be sent abroad at the rate
Of one cent for two ounces, while at
home it costs full letter postage rate
Of two cents an ounce, just tour times

danger Of immediate ruin should the
government try to experiment at home

to lend them helping hand and give
them such encouragement a., is consis-
tent with trades union principles.
We were much impressed with a
speech made at the state convention
held n St. Paul this week, in which

labor:

NEED OF A PARCELS POST.

The minute Postmaster General
Meyer had expressed himself as seri-
ously considering the feasibility Of
adding a parcels post to the postoffice
service with a limit Of ten pounds
weight on packages carried, there was
a rush Of arguments from certain
quarters to show why sucli a service
would be impracticable in the United
States, although every other country
could use it. The central assertion on
which the arguments depended was
that distances were too great in the
United States. 1t was claimed that
/ with a uniform postage rate depending
on weight alone, the government would
4 lese all the profitable short-distance
matter and be compelled to carry all
the long distance matter at a. loss.
(which the critics did not hesitate to
Terminate, in advance Of any informa-
Etion as to the exact plan Of the de-
apartment, at a. minimum of"s150, 900. 900
Iaayear.
It may or may not be the case that
sa thorough parcels post system would
have to modify to some extent the
method so successfully employed in
European countries. But here are
some facts as to what the government
sfinds itself able to do today In the way
!! iOfE giving parcels service to and from
IIforeign countries, which bear on the
problem.
Packages may now be sent to most
tof the South and Central American
n countries, to Germany, Great Britain,
