So II was small wonder that when
the meaning Of this accounting and re-

big railroad men started a determined
movement against It. There was only
about three weeks before II was or

must be done to stop Ii.

The search for the fabulous Phil
osopher's Stone did not end with
the half-scientific, half-mythical en-
deavors Of Paracelsus, nor was the
incident of the efforts to discover
the eternal fountain of youth
closed with the Ponce de Leon ex-
petition. Man is as eager today az
he was in the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries-nOt, perhaps, 10
live forever, but TO live BEAUTIFULLY
and well. To aid him in this de-
sire, now comes Science with its
experience of hundreds of years
and It's modern astuteness.
Man, the elephant, and the whale
are the only mammals that live to
be 100 years old. There are a few
authentic cases of men living los
years, but beyond that limit the
cases are rare. The records show
that the majority of people who
live 10 old age are of medium
height and weight, have regular
and quiet habits, eat moderately,
drink moderately, or abstain alto
gether from alcoholic beverages.
That the improved civilized meth
DDS of living have nearly doubled
human longevity in the last few
centuries is borne out by the fig
ures. At the close of the eight
eenth century the mean Duration
of human life in France was
twenty-nine years. From 1917 to
1881 il rose TO thirty-nine years,
end between 1910 to 1859 TO forty
.,ears. In England il is thirty-nine
to fOrty-thTee years; in Massachu-
sets forty years, and in New York
city thirty-three and three-tenths
years.
Within the last few years a new
school of health has arisen. This
new school believes in starting at
the foundation of health. which is
nutrition. And with this new school
and this new theory comes the old
query: do you eat to live?"

He had suf- fered from a complication of diseases. About year ago he went to Hot Springs, Ark, hoping to recover his health but he came home again eight months ago without showing any im- provement. He had been slowly failing since

He was an expert with the gun and competed in all the big tourna- ments in this state, and also in trap shooting tournaments throughout the country.
 For B years he was employed at the Winchester Repeating Arms company and at the time that his health went back on him he was foreman of the gun testing department at Winchest- ers. He was a member of Winchester lodge, New England Order Protection, the Winchester Rod and Gun club, the New Haven Gun club, and the Win chester Mutual Sick Benefit society. He is survived by his wife, brother and three sisters, his daughter hav- | ing died a year ago.
