Inspiration In Regret.

The life without regret is the life
without gain. Regret is but the light
Of fuller wisdom from our past, IL
Illuminating our future. 1t means that
we are wiser today than we we're yes
terday. This new wisdom means re-
sponsibility, new privileges; it is q
new chance for better life. But II
regret remain merely regret" it is
useless; it must become the revelation
Of new possibilities, and the inspira-
ton and source of strength to realize
them, each other; as love Increases
prudence.-William G. Jordan.

HAS NOT HEIGHTENED LIFE
Medical Science Saves Weak Children.
hut More People Die as Middle
Age 10 Reached.

The Canadian minister Of finance,
discussing before the annual meeting
Of life insurance presidents in New
York the question of death in middle
life, touched the heart of our most
serious medical problem, the New
York Herald states. Much has been
said of the frightening of average
human life by medical advance, but
it is literally true that the expecta-
ton of life for those of forty years
of age and over is less than it was
generation ago,
The reason is not far to seek. Our
death rates have been greatly low
cred in recent years by the saving of
the lives of weakling children in
their very early years. These, spared
now, grow up to fall victims in early
middle life to degenerative diseases,
premature old age, kidney and heart
troubles, greatly reducing the expec-
fancy Of life among adults.
The facts are warning to those
who think that modern medical
progress has in any way heightened
ordinary life. There is, if anything,
more reason now than ever for the
exercise of all kinds of precautions
for there are many more in the pop
ulation less able to stand these than
there were when natures cruel, per-
haps, but effective mode of lettering
the race by the elimination of the
delicate children had not been dis
turbed by medical science.
