Practically a Daily at the Price of

The value and need of newspaper

at hand or yet be far off, it and the
events to follow it are sure to be of
absorbing interest for many a month

National Waste.

Five years Of drumming into the
public the tremendous wastes of fire
carelessness has apparently had little
effect. 1t probably will take a war
such as the one into which the country
is now plunged, with its measures of
national economy, to correct wasteful-
ness which has cost millions in money
and countless lives. The extent of this
waste is presented graphically by the
actuarial bureau of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, which has just
completed an investigation of 100000
fires in the United States. The report
lays 21.4 per cent of the blazes to
strictly preventable causes, $40 per
cent to partially preventable causes
and 40.7 per cent to unknown causes,
largely preventable. 1t is another IL
lustration of the notorious fact that
America saves at the spigot and
wastes at the bung. Fire prevention
and food economy in these days OF ma
tiOnal saving should go hand in hand.
Exchange.

NATURE FIXES NO AGE LIMIT
Man Who Lives Carefully Can Retain
Vitality and Endurance lndefi-
nltely, II ls Claimed.

'Three score years and ten," tradl-
ton says, is the span Of human life.
This must be divided into three pc
RODS to include preparation, efficiency
and decay, each period lasting nearly
% years. With the athlete, it is still
more severe. Few men at thirty-five,
1t is said, have the reserve vitality and
endurance that they had at twenty
five. Therefore the edict has gone
forth that at thirty-fve the athlete
must let up in violent competitive
work and gradually back out of the
front ranks.
But there Is no scientific evidence
to show that this is necessary, says
Popular Science Monthly. The human
body is simply an assemblage Of cells,
which must be kept active, without be-
ing overstrained and nourished with.
out being overfed, In order that they
may be able to resist the attacks OF
microscopic enemies which cause dis
ease and decay. Under favorable con
,ditions these cells will live indefinitely
without showing signs of age of los
Of vitality. Therefore the conclusion
is reached that the "three score year:
and ten" are not fixed by any natural
law, but rather by the conditions un'
der which men live and by their per
sonal habits. The athletic champion,
then, who lives under the best n.y.
gienic conditions and observes the law
Of temperance in all things and at all
times, should be able to "sit tight" on
his pedestal so long as he desires.
