The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists are
unanimous in tue conclusion that the gen
orally 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 90 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

Prohibition in Lancaster.
Views of Mayor Blakeney, of
kershaw, on Operation of
the Law in this County,
Marked Improvement in
Conditions, Especially in
KerShaW.
From The State.

hershaW, was here yesterday on
his way to Atlanta. 1t is gener.
ally known that the town of Ker-
shaw is partly in Lancaster coun.
ty and partly in Kershaw county.
This geographical situation has
entailed more than one compli-
cation, the most serious of which
has been with reference to the
dispensary. The bulk of the
town of Kershaw lies in Lancas
ter county which has prohibit
on.
Even after Lancaster voted the
dispensary out, the town of Ker-
shaw had dispensary, kept
there by the action of the State
dispensary board, on the ground
that the town was partly in Ker.
shawcounty. However, the courts
Knocked out this proposition and
the dlspensary was removed from
kershaw. At that time Mir
B'akeney was very heartily in
favor of the dispensary and work
ed for its retention for he believ-
ed firmly that to remove it would
be to invite blind tigers.
Now he is of an entirely differ
ent opinion. While not a prohi.
'bitlonist, still he believes that
prohibition can be enforced as
much as any other law is enfor-
ced. Since the removal of the
dispensary, he has been elected
mayor. at first he thought the
task of ridding the community
of blind tigers would be almos t
impossible to be accomplished
But now he feels free to saw that
IT there be such a thing as prohi-
bition, the town of Kershaw has
it. There are those who send off
and get their whiskey by ex-
press. as the law allows them to .
but the bind tigers have been
driven into their lairs.
Mr.. Blakeney believes that
almost any town can have pro-
hibition if the police force can be
made to take an active interest
In the enforcement of the law
and II the munipicial authorities
will give their moral sanction to
the effort to root out the Offend
ers. 1t also requires the moral
sentiment OF the community, but
there is no community in which
the moral sentiment is other than
for the enforcement of the law,
if the people would only take in
teIest enough to come out and
say so.
WHAT LOCAL OPTION DOES.
Mr.. Blakeney takes different
view of the local option law from
that which has been held by a
great many people. He believes
that it will tend to bring about
general condition of prohibi-
ton, that the moral sentiment
will radiate from county to coun.
ty and that prohibition will come
gradually by the will of the PEI
pie, if not by the action OF the
general assembly.
He sees the good that has been
done in Lancaster county since
the dispensary was voted out;
the dispensary having caused

Millions for DAMAGES.

The various (street carr companies
OF Greater New York reported for 1905
total of $2,O9S, ,OO95O paid out in
damages. Two million dollars in
single year! But this was not all, re-
marks John p. Fox, in Everybody's.
The same companies reported for legal
expenses in connection with accidents
the further item OF $1,0O5, ,S92.S1, max
ing the total amount of damages $3.-
103.902.40. This is equivalent to co.,
10000 fares a year! The total amount
paid out by all the tram companies of
the United Kingdom, including Great
Britain and Ireland, for the year 1903
1904, was only $591, 900! Or, take it
by cities. The amount paid out by
the municipal system OF Liverpool for
1905 was $53,S00 The amount paid
out by the Boston Elevated, operating
the surface systems of Boston, for
1906, was $603,576! The traffic of the
chief Berlin company is greater by
half than that of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company. The amount paid
out in 1905 by this Berlin company
was $65,500 The amount paid out by
the Brooklyn company in 1905 was

DEMANDS ARE REDUCED.
Nine Hours Now Asked BY Fire
men,

Chicago, April 2. The railway
employees in the train service of the
western railroads have reduced
their demands to a nine-hour work
day, and the government officials
who came to Chicago last week 70
bring about a peacaable adjustment
OF the threatened strike are work
ing hard to overcome that obstacle.
Commissioners Knapp and Neil
held almost a continuous session to-
day with tie general managers and
the representatives of the trainmen
and conductors
The men today signified their
willingness to accept the wage in
crease offered by the railroads #
the managers would grant the de-
mand for a nine-hOur work day. The
labor delegates declared that the
wage increase asked for was u
minor consideration, but that they
could not face their constituents
without securing improvements in
the working conditions.
1t was learned tonight that the
nine-hour demand of the firemen
was what prevented a settlement of
that end of the labor difficulties the
western railroads are experiencing.
While acting entirely separate from
the conductors and trainmen, the
freman are standing out for the
same demands. and it is said in the
event of strike being ordered they
too would walk out

Do We chanae our Size?

We all have read such phrases as
"his form seemed to dilate," and "he
suddenly looked mean and shrunken." !"
Without doubt one can and one does,
under certain circumstances, as in Of
Tended dignity, extend the height, di-
late the chest, and SO become larger,
and fear may cause sort of collapse
that makes one appear quite shrunken.
These are real and commonplace
things. There is something else al
lied to the foregoing which is not
quite so simple, says New York Week
ly. We associate grand things with
bigness, and mean things with small
ness. BY some curious trick of our
nervous system we no sooner learn
that person has done a noble deed
than his form looks noble, and If we
hear that the deed is mean his form
appears mean. If another is proved
intellectually excellent. we mark the
width of his forehead. Should he sub
sequently do anything disgraceful, we
think his forehead mean-looking. And,
indeed, we ourselves may feel broad
or mean in brow, but all these things
are mental illusions.

Why Farmers Grow Old Early.


Anyone who has lived on a farm
does not need to be told the reason,
for he knows of the strain under
which the American farmer lives dur.
ing the five months OF spring and
summer, says Woody Hutchinson, NJ.
D.. in Harper's Monthly. His work
day is from four or FIVE in the morning
until eight or nine at night, including
chores-15 to II hours OF the hardest
kind of physical labor, and every min
ute OF it at high tension, especially
during harvest. Then comes a period
OF relaxation in the fall, the one time
in the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him in
health. Later, the winter season, ap-
preaching stagnation, in which he
takes on flesh, gets ''logy," and then a
furious debauch OF hard labor through
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by As he has had a sun
stroke and cant stand the heat" or
out" or a chill makes him rheuma-
tic;" and when you add to this furious
muscular strain the fact that the far
mer sees his income put ip peril every
season, and his very home every bad
year. so that each unfavorable change
in the weather sets his nerves on
edge, it can be readily imagined that

1000 Soldiers Poisoned. - The
greatest wholesale poisoning by
ptomaine occurred at the Soldiers
Home at Leavenworth when about
one-third of the inmates, or at least
1000 men, were stricken as the re-
suit OF eating hash infected with
ptomaine poison for breakfast. Over
5000 Of the veterans ate the hash
but inasmuch as only a third of
them were poisoned it is presumed
that only one of the three copper
cauldrons was infected. The home
physicians. in the task Of eliminat-
ing the poison from the systems of
the old men, used heroic measures,
and over a barrel of Epson salts
was administered, and in severe
cases. where symptoms of heart
failure were apparent as a result of
the poison. stimulants were admin
istered by hypodermic injections.
So far but one death has resulted.
that Of William ]. Cook. aged 81
years. a member of Company c..
Fourteenth Missouri cavalry. The
home physicians state that they de-
not believe there win be any more
deaths directly from this cause.
John w. Syfritt, cook at the Sol
diers' Home. said: "The hash is
never prepared in copper kettles.
and the meat used was not fresh
meat. The poisonous substance,
whatever it was, was in the meat
when it came from the packing
house. as the meat was corned beef
and was cooked right from the bar
rels in which it came. No meal is
prepared a day ahead All break
fasts are prepared on the morning
of the day they are served. The
mistake and responsibility rests
with the meat. and not with the pre-.
pairing. We use 500 pounds of corn
ed beef, fifteen bushels of potatoes
and four bushels of onions in max
ing the hash for a single breakfast.
1t is all cooked the morning it is
eaten" An analysis will be made
of the hash to determine positively
if the poisoning is due to ptomaine.

this home have the reputation Of be-
ing the cleanest in the United

the kind on record there
