The most eminent medical sciences
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanc-

now possessed. The critical period,
that determines its duration, seems
to be between 80 and 60; the proper
care of the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; care

MUST REDUCE RATES
TARIFF ON SALT FROM NEW ORLEANS ITO CULLMAN.
InfeRstate Commerce Communication Holds That Farmer,s warehouses Cena- pany Had Just Complaint
 Against L. and N

, Washington, D. C., Oct. 26---(speciaI). The interstate commerce commission today in an opinion rendered by Com missioner Clements announced it's de- cisfon in the case Of the Farmers Warehouse Company against the Loufs- vtlie and Nashville. Railroad Company. in which 1t was held that the rate of twenty-two cents per one hundred pounds applying on shipments of salt in carloads from New Orleans to Gull man, Ala. is unduly excessive. un- reasonable and unjust, and that rate of twenty cents per one hundred pounds would be reasonable and just.
 It does not follow. as a matter of course. where the commission finds that the ends of justice require the reducing of a rate complained of that reparation must be ordered on ship ments previously made.
 Complaints claim for reparation on shipments made prior to filing of the complaint Is denied but he will be allowed reparation on any shipments he may have made since the filing of complaint in so far as the charges thereon exceed the rate of twenty cents per hundred pounds. and the proceed ing will be held open to allow com plainant to present such claim and proofs.
