LENGTH OF LIFE INCREASED
Not Yours or Mine, but Those Of the
Coming Generation of United
States Citizens.

DR.. Victor G. Vaughn's assurance
that the average length of life IN the
United States has been increased ten
years since 1880 makes cheerful read
ing. Coming from a man who has
been president of the American Med
ical association, the information is
doubtless exact, but it may be easily
misunderstood. Doctor Vaughn does
not mean that ten years have been
added to the ordinary mans life. On
the contrary, there are plenty of fig
ures to prove that life has been cut
short rather than heightened from the
station fifty years and onward. The
so-called diseases of maturity have
been making sad havoc among our
elderly men of late, and nothing has
happened to check the loss
The gain of ten years to which Doc
tor Vaughn refers has been effected
by saving the lives Of children who
would formerly have persisted of pre-
ventable diseases. Each child thus
saved increases the average length of
life, though mature persons go on dy
ing prematureiy, just as they did De-
fore. Statistics are sometimes very
delusive
The rapid extinction of our elderly
men with the rescue of young children
from untimely death is filling the
country with comparatively youth
full population. The phalanx in the
neighborhood of forty years is in
creasing rapidly. That between fifty
and sixty is diminishing in proportion
to the whole number. This is not as
it should be. The mature man who
has outlived the competitive struggle
for success and has leisure to serve
the public is perhaps the most val
liable figure in our national life

WIFE TAUGHT HIM A LESSON
Brought Home to Him the
Morning After.

Some wives" remarked Sam Ber-
nard the other day, have terribly
effective methods in training their
husbands.
"A young man had the habit of
returning home from the club occa-
sionally in state of semi-intoxica-
ton. He married not long ago, and,
although he decided to turn over a
new leaf, the old habits were too
strong for him, and one night while
out with the boys, he took on board
trif1e too much.
Next morning he came down to
breakfast with the dark brown taste.
There was something on the plate
before him which had evidently been
cooked and was supposed to be food.
He took it up on his fork and
held it up, looking at it in wonder
What in the world, he demanded,
is this supposed to be, dear?'
WE'LL replied the young woman,
with disdain, it looks very much like
your new soft felt hat, and that is
what ! thought it was; but you pulled
it out of your pocket when you came
home last night, and told me it was a
nice, juicy steak, and that you bought
it on the way home, and you wanted

Kill Nerves to Cure Neuralgia


Severe neuralgia can be cured by
injecting alcohol into the nerves, but
the cost is terrible, for the price is
the death of the nerve, with paralysis
as the result
Such, in brief, is the conclusion
which DIR. Williams B. Cadwalader re-
ports to the Journal of the American
Medical association after experiments
made at the Laboratory of Neuropa-
thology of the University of Pennsyl-
vanis
The alcohol kills not only the nerves
of sensation, but the motor nerves as
well. In a nerve like the sciatic this
would be serious. For the nerve may
remain paralyzed for year after the
injection of the alcohol.
In trifacial neuralgia, which is
caused by a purely sensory nerve, this
action is of little Importance. The
cure is not permanent, however, but
affords freedom from pain for several
months, perhaps as much as a year.
The nerves regenerate just as they do
when severed.

being $1,500,000.
Miss Braddoh's great success, she

she said, is the one thing the average
novel reader doesn't want. For truth,
you see, is unpleasant.
