WHY
Age and Youth Are Not
Matters of Years

Severity years is not really such an
advanced age. declares DR.. William S.
WEIGH. long aud highly eminent as
pathoIogist at Johns Hopkins and still
very active in directing the School of
Hygiene and Public Health. AS DR..
WEIGH has Just rounded out the allof-
ted three score and ten, he speaks
from experience as vel as knowledge,
but even he probabss would admit thar
be is npt as young as he was thirty
or forty years ago.
OF course. old age does have its
cobpensations. when good health goes
with 1t. but the compensations are
.ail of a negative character, and the
best Of them are not enviable by those
in possession Of youth. the most pre-
cious of all treasures in spite of it's
numerous troubles and dangers.
Being wise, DR. WEIGH does not eulo-
gize old age he merely declares that
it can be endured with calmness by
philosophers. end an analysis of what
he says brings out that in his own
case he finds his seventy years bur
den easily carried because he retains
some Of the bodily and all of the men
tai activities that are the common pos
session of ambitious and fortunate
youth. In other words, he doesn't
much mind being old, because he is
still young.
AS matter of fact, age and youth
are not matters Of years. Senescence
