The celebrated Thomas Parr lived
TO be l52 years and nine months old
and was in good health almost to the
hour when he died. Had il not been
for an unlucky trip to London he
might have reached his second century
mark. But this is nothing. We can
tell a still bigger story and give author
ity for it, In the year 1924 there dh d
in Hungarian village man named
Petraz Czarten, who was himself lso
years odd and had a son who was 30.
These cases show what is possible.
The only reason why we all do not live
as long as Czarten is because of our
bad habits and their evil influence upon
the ductless glands.
Filters and their friends to the num-
Der of about 80 journeyed to Lake
Tahoe Sunday morning in a special
excursion train provided by the South
ern Pacific. The day was well spent,
though made somewhat arduous by the
long trip to and from the lake. Most
of those who made the trip state they
had good time, though some COM
plant was made of the general
arrangement of affairs. Financially
the excursion was not success, as the
number who made the trip fell short OF
the guarantee, which was made by
numerous local parties, with the result
that they will have TO pungle up to the
railroad company. The excursion was
planned as boosting event for the
town and valley and it seems too bad
that it should not be altogether sue
cessful.
