Vic Limit Of life .

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation, of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between 50 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,

ICES every organ of the body. Guaran-

Galveston, Tex, of export and to

commission found that the rates
to Galveston fer export and to the
various de situations in Texas for
domestic consumption are unrea-
sonable of themselves and ordered
reductions ranging from three to
five cents per 100 pounds to be
made.

point, and worth reading.

bigotry, they frequently fall to

Mr.. Burton is entitled to a SQUARE

blest private citizen of Kansas. or
the railroads. or the machine

Comanche bond perpetrators. or
anybody else. This paper has
stated its belief that Burton is
wrong in his att acks on President
Roosevelt. 1t will continue to do
so as occasion requires. On, the
other hand the ex-senator has
some very fair ideas. So far as
this paper knows he is leading a
decent, respectable life. he has
paid the legal penalty for his.
wrong-doing. and there is no
great danger tba. the country will
