BRAIN WORK AND LONG LIFE
Two Would Seem to Go Together Pro-
vided That Element of Worry
Can Be Eliminated.

English judges, according to Lord
Alverstone, are often at their best
between siXty-five and eighty. The
scientific explanation Of this is that
judges use their brains constantly
and with great concentration, and are
at the same time relieved of worrying
about their material welfare.
Worry hastens death, but hard men
tai work is a tonic and life-strength-
ener. If you want to live to a good
old age. use your brain. Mental eX-
ercise keeps the brain well supplied
with blood. With the source of vi
tai energy well nourished, it acts as a
tonic to the whole system. Those, on
the other hand, who are deficient IN
mental exercise deprive their brains
of a sufficient blood supply.
The same study which found judges
doing their best work between sixty

their agents report the crop marketed
and these houses are being closed,
This gives you an idea how rapidly
the Canadian crop has been handled
this year n it would not surprise me
if Canada had to import both wheat
and oats before they raised another
crop. AS on account of tight money
they have been forced to sell the last
bushel m many interior mills will
