Female LONGEVITY,

Women are living longer than they
cid twenty-five years ago, but the
doctore aren't agreed on the reason.
Though all admit II isn't due to the
spread of the suffrage movement, they
are widely divided in their opinions
about # Statistics complied In Eng
land show that the expectation of life
Of woman of fifty Is q rear greater
than II was in 1875, while that of a
man is only q few months greater.
One school OF doctors, who believe
that death is due entirely to wearing
out of brain tissues. says the greater
longevity of women is due to the fact
that they don't use their brains as
much as men. On the other side of
the scientific fence is a group of doc
tors who insist that woman lives
longer now because she is more shell
tered than man: doesn't have to face
the wearing competition of business
that he has to endure and that she
spends most of her time at home,
which is more airy and healthful than
the offices where men work.
