Bv REV. CHARLES F. AKED, DID.
Written for The Atlanta GeOrgiGB.

TT ex-President Eliot, Of Har-
ward, is correctly reported he
must have been iu a more
than usually Respondent vein when
he opened the International Con
gress OF Social Hygiene at Buffalo.
It may be that the reporters mis-
understood him; but they repre-
sent him as sounding a note OF
warning over the deadly and de-
structive life which we all live In
the big cities. According to the
reports, Dr. Eliot said that
1.-THE progressive civilization OF
the last hundred years has worked
terribly against the health and per-
petuity of the whole race" and
that such cities as Paris, London,
Berlin, New York and Chicago bear
witness to the fact that modern
civilization is all the time prepar-
ing and promoting its own destruc-
ton"
Precisely the contrary is true.
We are adding to the healthful-
ness of great cities every year. We
are successfully battling with al
most every one of the more dan
gerous diseases. And each sue
cessive generation sees an enor-
nous span added on to the aver
age duration of human life
N the latest edition of the En-
cyclopedia Britannica, an Eng
lishman of science, In an article
upon Longevity" speaks with
great positiveness and in a sense
Numerically opposed to DR.. Eliot
He says:
There seems to be almost no
doubt but that the average dura-
ton OF life has increased with civ
ilization; the generally improved
conditions of life, the greater care
of the young and OF the aged, and
the advance in medical and surgi-
cal science far more than outweigh
any depressing effect caused by the
more strenuous and nervous &C
tivity required by modern social
organization. The expectation of
life of those who attain the age Of
sixty varies with race, sex and oc-
cupation, but is certainly increas-
ing, and an increasing number of
persons have a chance of reaching
and do reach ages between ninety
and hundred"
The decline of the death rate in
practically every civilized country
on the globe during the last fifty
years is one of the outstanding
facts of experience. 1t varies from
Is per cent in Russia to % per
cent in England and SO per cent
in Holland. The expectation of
life" has, to be sure, proportionate-
ly increased, so that at birth the
human being has an expectation"
of 40 years of life-and that is
more than at any period of the
worlds history which has pre-
served statistics. The "expecta,
ton of life" agreed upon by the
great life insurance companies of
this country is necessarily worked
out on lower scale-else there
would be no profits. Yet accord
ing to this scale a person of 40

Why, they fold their hands and die
for a touch Of liver. Their life

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

4 lady writes from the land of cot
ton of the results of four years use
of the food beverage, Postum:
Ever since ! can remember we had
used coffee three times a day 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all. and | suffered almost death
from indigestion and nervousness.
Il know il was coffee, because when
| would leave it off for a few days |
would feel better But il was hard to
give coffee up. even though | realized
how harmful it was TO me.
At last | found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago | abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum and | also
influenced the rest of the family to
do the same.
Even the children are allowed to
drink it as freely as they do water.
And it has done us all great good
no longer suffer from indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since l began to use Postum. We
never use coffee any more.
We appreciate Postum as a delight
full and healthful beverage. which not
