1t is the prevailing opinion among
scientists. notably Ray Lancaster and
MetchnilSoff that there is still great
room for improvement, especially atter
middle life. Governor Blanchard Of
Louisiana at the Conservation OF Nat
ural Resources at Washington said:
since the greatest OF our national
assets is the health and vigor Of the
American people, our efficiency must
depend on national vitality even more
than on the resources Of the minerals,
lands. forests and waters. The average
length Of human life in various coun-
tries varies from less than twenty-five
years TO more than fifty years. This
span OF life is increasing whenever san
itary sciences and preventive medi-
cines are applied. II may be greatly
extended by intelligent use OF scientific
discoveries. There are con-
stantly about sOoo.oo persons seriously
i'll in the United states. More
than half Of this illness is preventable."
100000 Needless Victims.
In addition, from statistics recently
published in which illness from various
diseases we're classified, It was shown
that there are 100000 persons constantly
IN Of tuberculosis. Of whom one-third
die annually. and that Of yearly aver
age OF 100000 illnesses from ptomaine
poisoning fully 10 per cent end in death.
while Ss per cent result in total inca

mer 1000 cases OF infantile paralysis

There may be those who doubt the
Of extending the average Of

for these It is well to quote from Pro-
fessor Fisher Of Yale university in an
address delivered Feb. g. 1903, at New
York. Professor Fisher says:
Human Life Doubled.
1T has long been known that there is
no iron law OF mortality, but that NOR
taIity depends on the hygenic state OF
the community. Baines. in a recent pa
per in the Journal of the Royal Statis-
teal society, has calculated that the
average duration Of life in India is
only twenty-three years for males and
twenty-four years for females, or less
than one-half the life space in the ad-
vanced countries of Europe. The esti-
mates Of Finkelberg show that in Eu-
rope human life has probably doubled
in the last $50 years. More recent and
more reliable figures show that life is
lengthening more rapidly today thar

Human life has been steadily length

over double what it was 500 years ago.
For instance. to make it quite clear,
imagine a Thousand persons born IN the
year 1866. when William the Norman
invaded and conquered England OF
that thousand the average length of
life of each individual may be placed
at twenty-five years. Some may have
lived to seventy, and some may have.
died at birth, but the average was
twenty-five years. In this present day,
on the same basis. a thousand persons
born in 1880 or 1890, we viii say, would
have lived an average life of forty-six
years. Individual instances may have
reached ninety years. but a greater
proportion lived to ripper ages than
formerly. So it is that each year that

total, and now in this decade we are

illness to Be a Crime.
We know now that there are physical
things we must not do. just as there
are legal matters that control our
moral actions. Soon it will be a pun
ishable offense to have tuberculosis OF
typhoid or scarlet fever or mumps or
housemaid's knee or anything you
please. The grand jury of health win
return an indictment against the vic
tim of his or her own carelessness, and
he or she win be dealt with according
TO law. The health police will arrest
upon warrant, produce evidence to con-
vict, and in the third federal health
court Justice Carmichael, or whatever
his name will be. will sentence the in
valid 20 50 many days, weeks or months
at hard labor. Carelessness in health
will be as bad in the eyes of the law
as carelessness in action. The chronic
offender against tho laws Of hygiene
win receive the same treatment as the
man who carries a revolver or the rail-
way trainman who forgets to observe
a signal or to turn q switch.

Milking under quiet, favorable con-
ditions is quite important for the fol
lowing reasons plainly set forth by
John Burroughs, the eminent natural
list. in speaking of the supposed pow
er of COWS to "hold-up" their milk.
Says Mr.. Burroughs: Most farmers
and country people think that the CIV
ing down or holding up the milk by
the cow is a voluntary act. In fact.
they fancy that the udder is a YES
sci filed with milk, and that the cow
releases or withholds it just as she
chooses. But the udder is a manufac-
tory: it is filed with blood from which
the milk is manufactured while you
milk. This process is controlled by
the cows nervous system; when she
is excited or in any way disturbed, as
by a stranger, or by taking away her
calf, or any other cause, the process
is arrested and the milk will not flow.
The nervous energy goes elsewhere.
The whole process is as involuntary
as is digestion IN man, and is dis
turbed or arrested In about the same
way"
It is we'll for those who are inclined
to use the milk stool on cow when
she refuses to '1et the milk down" to
remember Mr.. Burroughs statements,
which are without QGesu0n correct

that the hoof of the animal will break

reached a state of exhaustion that re-
