Tho Iona Lived Farmer.

Man armed with hoe protects him
self from the agencies of death more
completely than man with any other
life defense weapon. The United States
bureau of statistics has discovered that
important fact by study of the rec
ords of life insurance companies. Then
the hard life of the farmer is longer,
not because it simply seems longer,
but because he lives In the midst OF
protective agencies. The statistics Of
the entire country show that farmers
live longer than all others. fifty-eight
years being their average span of life.
Bookkeepers and Office assistants live
the shortest lives, thirty-six years be-
ing their average limit OF endurance.
Among the office workers tuberculosis
is the worst enemy of life, 80 per cent
of them having died Of that disease.
Among the farmers heart disease
causes the most deaths, 16 per cent of
the total Worcester Telegram.

instance, miller gets married he stops
his mill with the arms Of the wheel in

unfurled. His friends and guests do
likewise with their mills in celebration
of the ceremony To announce birth
the wheel stopped with the arms
in slant, position. but at more
acute angle than for marriage and
with the two upper sails unfurled. In
the event of miller's death his fami-

to some effects which may be surpris-

figures in black type. he tried TO facili-

horizontal lines in red ink, but the diff
ferent focusing of the black and red
strained his eye and gave him head
ache, which did not trouble him when
all the figures and lines were either
black or red.
