But when they found that men as
actively employed as +. l.. Evans,
George Poulter o. c. Lasher X. b.
Brown and several others equally
busy, were not only devoting more
than half Of the business day, but
several hours every night, to this
work, they have most of them fallen
into line and gone TO work.
More than a thousand names have
been added to the census rolls since
Wednesday, when the committee got
their machinery well going. But there
are two or three times as many that
must be hunted up ana counted. The
captains in each district should push
up the work Of their subcommittee

WOMEN LOVE LIFE BEST
AFTER THIRTY-FIVE YEARS

London. by Mail. Cheer up,
women! The first thirty five years
of life are the worst.
According to DR.. Josiah Oldfeld.
who has made lifelong study of
women and their woes. women are
happiest and at their best from the
age of thirty five onwards.
"The popular idea that young
woman is the queen of the earth and
has the world Mt her feet is fall
lncy.' DIR. Oldiield confided to a
gathering of medico-legal authori-
ties. "This discovery is based not
on mere theory, but on the compar-
tive number of men and women
suicides after the age of thiriy-five.
''Life undoubtedly becomes more
pleasant and attractive to women
after they have reached this age.
