The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation Of hui
man life is many years below the attain
ment possible with the advanced know
ledge of which the race is now possessed.
The critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between 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 tonic medicine that
reyitalizes every organ of the body.

At Rest.

Mason, the last of nine children horn
to Betsey (Hunt) and Beriah Battles, was
born in Braintree june 81. 1888, and died
in Burlington Aug. u, 1907.
With the exception of a few years OF
his early life that he spent in Iowa, where
he married Roxy Ann Battles Feb. IL,
1886, he had been a lifelong resident OF
Braintree.
Long sufferer from hernia, which was
rapidly growing worse, he decided an
operation was necessary and went to the
Mary Fletcher hospital at Burlington
Aug. for that purpose. He underwent
the operation Aug. 5, which proved much
worse than the doctors had anticipated.
yet he rallied from it and hopes were en-
tertained of his gaining strength and
health that would enable him to return
home and enjoy many years of comfort.
able old age. For week he appeared tc
be doing as well as could be expected
then, on account of his advanced age, his
strength gave out and he passed peace
fully away Aug. II.
His remains were sent home Tuesday
accompanied by his daughter, who was al
the hospital during the operation and had
since remained at Burlington to visit hin
daily, and who, alone of the family, was
present to soothe his dying hours.
He left wife, son, daughter, daugh
ter-in-law and seven grandchildren t.
mourn his loss, aside from large circl,
of neighbors and friends.
The funeral, which was largely attend
ed, was held at O'Clock Wednesday O
last week at the house. Rev. Fraser
Metzger was the officiating clergyman.
Interment was in the Braintree Branch
cemetery and the bearers were Joseph Til
son, Joseph Carpenter, A. E. and H. F
Flint. M. E. Chase of Northtield hat

service was niece, Mrs. Henry Battles o

Praise for Alfalfa.

No plant has startled the world
more for its general availabi ity to
furni h food for domestic animals
than the alfalfa. This is that one
of the legums which is adapted to
the widest range ot climate, and is
about equally good for horses and
cows. Its p 4latability is reckoned
as about equal to that of corn. 1t
thrives especially in limestone soils,

alfalfa FURNISHES a very large

big storage of nitrogen. The
