PREMATURE AGE NOT NORMAL
Mankind, Not Nature, to Blame for
Inflrmitles that Tend to
Shorten Life.

II is not a crime to grow old II you
do so naturally and gracefully. In
fact it is most creditable. and highly
honorable.
However, It is a crime to grow Old
beyond your years. To do 80 you
must abuse and mistrsat yourself. Ma
ture never intended that any one
should grow old prematurely, but to
mature and ripen normally, and re-
tain the natural senses and tastes un-
til the machine finally runs down and
stops
lnfirmity Is never sent upon any
one, but every one who ages prema-
turely, or grows infirm must take the
blame to himself. Infirmity, which IL
physical weakness, is invited. en-
couraged and maintained, and it
comes not except in answer to dis
tinct and oft-repeated invitations.
1t is true that with centuries Of Ill
breeding, with selfish culture and
wrong living. it is but natural that
there should be many physical and
moral detectives. but the tendency Ia
so strong toward the normal that It
does not take long to get back to the
right way.
This tendency to the normal is well
marked and quite noticeable in all
the kingdoms of nature.

Carrier Pigeons for Country noe.ors

Carrier Pigeons for Country Doctors.
Provincial medical men have made
and are making considerable use Of
pigeons in connection with their prac-
tice. They will take with them a
basket of pigeons in their motor cars.
After visiting the patients the neces-
sary prescription is written out and
forwarded home by pigeon post; the
dispenser at once makes up the pre-
scription and practically before the
physician has finished his rounds and
long before he has reached home
again the boy il buttons starts of to
deliver the bottles of medicine in his
bicycle car. In many provincial dis
tricts it is of course useless to write
out prescriptions to be sent to the To-
cal chemist, for the nearest is often
some miles away.-London Tit-Bits.

the belief was as follows: The Nile

dried up by the hot sun, so that moth
