WHY DESIRE GREAT AGE?
CKansas City starr.

(Kansas City starr.
Prof. Metchnikoff worked hard to
discover the secret of long life and
he died the other day without
achieving it. The man who could dis
cover a recipe for old age could be-
come the richest man in the world.
Nearly everyone seems to want to
know how to live 10 be 100 years
old. and when the newspapers and
magazines get word of man who
has lived that long they rush to in
tervIew him and find out the why of
il.
But none Of them can tell why.
Some Of them never drank in their
lives and they attribute it TO that.
Some drank all the whi5key they
could get hold of, drank until they
were picked in alcohol. and they
give that as a reason. The old man
who smoked and chewed tobacco all
his life tells Us that nicotine preserv-
ed him. The centenarian who never
used tobacco says: Beware of nico-
tine if you want 10 live long"
The census tells US that in 1910
there were $4,000 persons IN this
country 90 years old and over and
3. 555 who were 100 or more, and ii
is likely that not two Of them would
give the same reason for living so
long 1t is usless to try and dis
cover the secret because there is no
general rule that can be applied TO
all cases. Old age depends upon the
individual case and the circum-
stances surrounding it.
often a person who was sickly in
youth lives TO be 100 We all know
Of thin, anaemic looking men and
women who lived on and on,
threatening for years and years
literally 10 blow away in the first
hard wind" but OUTLYING all the
healthy and wholesome and hearty
ones of the whole neighborhood.
But. when you come right down TO
il, why should anyone want TO live
TO be 100. or even 90? a man who
was said TO be los years old attended
one Of the Billy Sunday meetings
here and everyone who saw him pit
led him. He was a wrinkled shadow
OF a man who had lived beyond his
time.
The chief end Of man should not
be so much TO live 10 be so or go
years old as 10 get the most out OF
the years that he does live. and the
only way TO do that is 10 live right
". which means sanely. temperate
! ly. usefully. with due regard 70 the
rights and feelings Of others. Living
that way you may not exist for a
great span of years. but YOU viii
have the satisfaction OF knowing
that YOU made the most Of the years
7 that were allotted TO you.
