he can do, and just what he cannot

persuade Rover to try to make meal
of soda crackers, he would probably
do no end of chewing previously to
sending his crackers down to his stom-

starches, and by starches are meant
certain kinds of plant food, such as
bread and potatoes; but it has not
the slightest effect on animal food
inclusive of fat-and this, so far as
the economy of nature is concerned,
may be swallowed with little chewing
or bolted outright. A piece of pilot
bread-which is usually as hard as
granite-will rapidly be attacked and
partly digested by the saliyary fer
ment, whereas a bit of beefsteak will
remain in the mouth undigested for
days, or even forever.
Should anyone accuse me of trying

specialists by giving bad advice, I will
reply that it is more than probable
that if men and women were more
disposed than they generally are to
bolt their meat, there would be less in
digestion than at present. | say prob

far as l am aware, caused by the bolt

caused by bacteria, and very often by

Marjorie and Paul were playing rail-

room and Aunt Sue, who was visiting
their mother, was embroidering what
Marjorie persisted in calling "cen-
ter-pede" for the table. After the
railroad cars had been duly wrecked"
and all the passengers killed off, the
sport began to cloy and the attention

we'll just was wonderin'. You
haven't any little boys or girls Of
your own, have you, Aunt Sue?"
why, no. Paul; I'm not even mar

Paul thought a few seconds over
this. But you're grown up, Aunt Sue.
Ain't-ain't you old enough to get
married? Mother says"
ooh, yes, Paul, I'm old enough"
Aunt Sue, as matter of fact, was
at that very moment watching out the
window with one eye for the post
man to bring Certain Letter, but she

to Paul. For the sake of making some
sort of answer she replied to her
small nephew who was patiently await

Paul, you can't do these things all in

Paul looked greatly puzzled He
had not supposed 1t was such COM
plicated business-besides, what was
license, anyway?
What's "a license, Auntie Sue?"
he inquired with much interest. Sis

credit and had hitherto taken no part
in the conversation, aroused herself
and gazed at her brother in candid
scorn.

Man Should Live 12O Years

What is the natural age to which
men would live if they were blest with
the sound mind in the sound body
that dream of all hygienists from the
time of Epicurus and before?
MetchnikofP, the ingenious and start
IingIy original director of the Pasteur
institute in Paris, has placed the nat
ural age of man at 120 years. The
great Partisan scientist does not put
out this assertion as an opinion or
a theory, but as y plain fact. Man
should live 120 years, and if you have
the courage and persistence to follow
MetchnikOff through the work he has
been doing for many years in one of
the worlds most celebrated centers of
science, you will probably be con-
WINGED of the truth of his bold an
nOuncement.
1t is needless, however, to spend half
ones life in a laboratory to satisfy
ones self that Metchnikoff is right. A
little hard thinking will do it, if we
can only be persuaded to sit up and
make due note of the marvels that are
going on about US every day, and
which for the most part we let slip by
without taking in them the least spark
of interest.
In the twelve months last past there
died in this country at least five per
sons who had reached the age assert
ed by Metchnikoff to be the natural
age of man. Five persons, during the
past year, in the United States, died at
the age of 120 years or over. Perhaps
there were more than five. At least
five were reported by the newspaper
press services, and Eve are enough. II
only one were certainly known to have
lived to that age, that one alone would
be warrant sufficient upon which tc
base Metchnikoff's remarkable claim
Absurd as this may sound, it is
theoretically true, and 1t would be
practically true if all men were as
sound to begin with. and as carefully
protected. within and without, from
disease and accident, from the poisons
of Industry and fatigue, from impure
and insufficient food, and from the de
structive effects of alcohol and tobacco
as we're the long-lived men them
selves.
Prior to Metchnikotf's claim 1t was
generally held that men inherited theil
natural age from their ancestors; that
the natural age of a man-disease
germs apart-was the sum total OF the
power to live resulting from the blend
ing of such power in all his ancestors
going back as far as you like.
This remarkable law can be stated
thus: Each man inherits from his an
cestors a tendency to die at a certain
age.
Common observation seems to prove
that this Is the case. But every maj
also inherits from his ancestors an
pther quality He inherits the tenden
oy to live longer or shorter than the
krand average of his ancestors them
selves; and 1t is because of the indis
criminate mixing of all degrees OF this
potential life that the grand average

THERE'S NO RISK
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit
You Pay Nothing.

A physician who made a speciality of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspep-
STA, after years of study perfected the
formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known for the
relief of acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are sooth
ing and healing to the infamed mem
branes of the stomach. They are rich
in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The relief
they afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persistency and regularity for
a short time brings about cessation of
the pains caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and
promote nutrition. AS evidence of our
sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
let's, we ask you to try them at our
risk. If they do not give you entire
satisfaction, we will return you the
money you paid us for them. without
question or formality. They come in
three sizes, prices 25 cents, so cents and
$1.0O. Remember you can obtain them
