Don't stop working at 10, do

Parker few days ago, and Sir
James Chrichton- Browne. an ac-

agrees with Sir Gilbert thoroughly.

Sir James, who, although born as

''The most vigorous period of HUI
man life in its entirety is obviously
between 25 and 40 years of age" lie
added, but to, say that men above
the latter age are comparatively
useless is to fly in the face of the
biographical dictionary. Much of
the best work of the world has been
done by men over 40, and we would
by no means stand where We are but
be back in the twilight ages if bereft
of what these men accomplished.
