EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS

The day is past, if it ever existed,
when the advertiser who offered a
$1,000 value for $4.e8 could hope to
be believed. When man tells you
that you can make $500 by selling
a certain article, you do not believe
him. You have right to refuse
to accept such extravagant state
ments. The American Issue does
not propose to carry any of this
fabulous get-rich-quick advertising.

The Oldest Man.

Jose Calvario, a modern Methuse-
lab who was nearing the two hun
dred (200) year mark, died short
time ago, at Tuxpau, Mexico, and to
substantiate the first reports sent
out, Mr.. Frank L. Watson, an Amer
lean mining man Of Colima, Mexico,
in writing to friends in Iowa furn-
ishes the following bit of history
which if true is well worthy of re-
production:
L was at Tuxpan on the day Cal
vario died." he writes. Il had seen
the old man walking about the
streets of the town many times, and
he was always pointed out to me as
being nearly 200 years old. So
interested were the state Off
cials in the report Of the great
age Of the man that a special
commission was appointed to inves-
tigate the claim. The records of the
parish church shows he was born in
1927. He left several thousand de-
scendants. He often told his friends
in a joking manner that he had the
largest family of any man in the
world. No one knows how many
times he was married, but it is COM
monty reported that he took his last
wife when he was past the age OF
$50 years and that he had several
children by her.
"Calvario was an Aztec Indian
His rules of living were simple; in
fact he observed no set rules. He
ate whatever he liked, but his pov.
erty prevented him from faring
very sumptuously. He was a mod.
crate drinker of native liquors fol
l65 years, according to his own
statement made many times to
friends, and his memory did not &C
back to the time when he began
smoking the Mexican handmade Gig
arctic.
The Methuselah of modern times
was the walking historian of thi
part of Mexico, covering the period
of his long life. He was born ant
lived within the shadow of Mount
Colima volcano. He was witness t,
the destruction of Tuxpan by al
earthquake in 1906, when over
thousand people were killed.
"Calvario was of striking persona
appearance. His frame was larg
and his eyes were deep set and piecr
ing. During the latter years o
his life he gained a livelihood b,
doing odd jobs around town."
