YEARS ARE HELD IN LEASH
~ You Would Live Long Go Over to
Halifax County, Va, and Hear
Mr.. Thomas Bruce.

II any of these authorities on what
constitutes old age are in the vicinity
will they please drop around to the
Wolcot hotel and discuss the matter
with Thomas e. Bruce of Halifax coun-
ty. Va? Mr. Bruce, who is eighty
years young, has some definite ideas
on the subject, and he knows where
the years may be successfully interned
SO that they are harmless.
That beneficent spot is Halifax coun-
ty, Va, sub! 1t is beyond doubt the
most wonderful spot on the whole
green earth. II Metchnikoff, who
made goats milk popular by discover
ing that the Bulgarians who drank it
managed to live long time, had only
gone to Halifax county instead, there
would be less artificial butterInilk on
the market now.
Believe all of this from Mr.. Bruce.
The other day he halted in the foyer
of the Wolcott, where he has been
coming for many years. to hear one
man condole with another over the
death of his father, seventy-five years
old.
He died of old age" the grieving
one said. =
"Old ageT broke in Mr. Bruce, in
dignantly. : "Oid age? Why, 1 am
eighty years old-or young-myself
My mother lived to be ninety-six years
old, my father was past ninety when he
went on and l have an uncle livinr
and in good health at one hundred and
four. This old age is tommy rot, al
though l suppose people can't live
long around here. They should come
to my country, where the years are
held in leash"
And that is?

said."-New York Herald.

Mainly on the ground that their pres

in conference and passed a resolution
calling upon the provincial govern

war.
There are more than three thou
sand wives of officers and men of the

during the next two or three months
at rate of upwards of one thousand

Immediately they arrive they com.

perhaps have only just returned from
