MENACE OF MIDDLE AGE.

In spite of the fact that the dura-
tion OF human life has been extended
in recent years. noticeably in this
country. it seems thar a man is less
likely than ever 10 attain ripe old
age. or even TO reach the age that is
known as elderly" The length OF
human life has been increased. and
yet We are less likely TO reach the
age of our grandfathers. But there
is reason for this paradox. Regis
tration and life-insurance statistics
country is increasing at the later
age periods. especially from diseases
OF the heart. blood vessels and kid
neys. which chiefly affect persons i'm
middle life and later The 'eXpec-
tation OF life as the insurance peO-
pie call it, has shown great III
crease among young persons, and
this has been due 10 the great ad-
yances made in the conquest Of com
municable diseases. But the pace OF
life is rapid. and the marked increase
in the death rate is in the socalled
"degenerative diseases" which come
rs rule along in the middle years
of life. SO while the youth OF twenty
has a better prospect than ever of
living TO middle age, the man of mid
die age has a reduced chance Of
reaching old age.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

The many friends of Lieutenant
Governor Sullivan will doubtless be
panied to learn that he Is now
drawing salary of 500 per month
as commissary of the state police,
which is contrary to the intent Of
the act of the Legislature in fixing
salaries for state officials. Con
troller Cole held up the claim until
he could receive a written opinion
from Attorney General Thatcher
who decided that the act of 1918,
fixing til esalaries of state officers,
does not affect the lieutenant gov
ernor's claim Tor pay as comnls-
sary of the state police because it
did not abolish the office. That sec.
ton of the act of 1913 which re-
suited in the state controllers re-
quest for the attorney generals OPP
mon. reads:
Section 2. The foregoing sums lii
the case of the lieutenant governor,
$500 annually shall be in full pay
ment of all duties now or hereafter
required of such officers not only
for the ordinary duties of such Off
GERS but for all other duties re-
CURED of such officers in any man
ner whatsoever"
When the salary bill was uunder
consideration at the last session of
the legislature, Lieutenant Governor
Sullivan expressed himself as well
satisfied with his compensation as
fixed in the bill. but apparent y he
has since changed his mind. and is
now willing to sidestep the clear
intent of the law through the sub
terfuge of a mere tachnicality in the
opinion of the attorney general.
Taxpayers who read section will
be unanimously of the opinion that
the attorney general had erred in
his Interpretation OF the law, which

Light More Beneficial Than Heat.

When rays of light fall upon the skin of our bodies, which is translu- cent, the greater part of them are ar rested some by one layer of the skin, some by another and still others are not stopped until they have penetrated the subcutaneous tissues. This arrest of the light rays produces radiant heat, which has a higher penetrating power than convection heat as gene rated by hot water bag or poultice, for instance.
 F. c. Titus in an address before the Illuminating Engineering society, said that such heat penetrated two inches or more, while convection heat was ex- cited principally on the surface.
 This is why electric light baths and sun baths are so stimulating to the or gans of elimination, especially the skin and kidneys, and so beneficial in so many diseases.
