We had the horse doctor out and
he said it was so bad that he did
not think he could cure. it, and did
not ocme again. Then we tried

Sloan's Liniment and he had me get
bottle for him and it cured his
horse alright, and he goes off now
like a colt.

AGES OF the AMERICAN.
Statistics UhreIiable-old Persons
Overstate, Women Conceal Theirs

Statietics UhreIiablc-old Persons
overstate, Women Conceal Theirs
Some curious facts are shown by
the census bureaus investigation of
the statistics Of the age of the Amer
ican people.
There is a prevalent habit Of under
stating ages. Except among per-
sons of advanced age this tendency
is very strong, persons placing their
ages as twenty-five, thirty-fve, forty
in multiples of five, that is-when
they are really several years older.
This tendency is strongest among
negroes, is stronger among foreign
born persons than ar ng those born
here, and is stronger among women
than among men.
There is thus some basis for the be-
lief that woman does not like to
state her age; that she prefers to
conceal it. That, perhaps, is why
she tries to look younger than she
really is.
Old persons, on the other hand, are
wont to overstate their age, to make
themselves out as older than they
really are. There are not nearly so
many persons really over hundred
as people believe.
The age which exactly divides the
population in half is 22.S5 years. One
half of the population is above that
age, one-half below it.
A century ago as far as statistics
OF the time permit experts to say,
the halfway age was 1897 years. In
the cities the halfway or median age,
is greater than in the country.
The average age Of the people OF
the United States is 26.2 years.
About one-third Of the total popu-
lation of the United States is between
the ages of fifteen and sixty. Nearly
one-quarter is less than ten years old,
and over three-sevenths is over twen-
ty years. Not one in seven is over
fifty years old, and only twenty-three
persons in every 1000 is over seventy
years of age.
Of the total population, fifty-one out
of every hundred are males, forty
nine are women. There are fewest
children in New England and on the
Pacific coast, and most in the south
and in some Of the newer states.
Statistics like these are interesting
to outsiders; they are helpful also
to persons who have to do with the
public health, and in many other
ways, too.
