maintained for paupers.
A woman who said she was 10
years old recently was arraigned be-
fore police judge In an Iowa city
on the charge of intoxicati0n. Al
though she spent night In Jail await
ing arraignment. the aged woman had
to have her case continued two days
until she recovered from the effects of
the liquor. Physicians who treated
her reported her as hardy"
The study Of persons claiming ad-
vanced age Is regarded as one of the
most interesting of the many examina-
lions Of material made each ten years
by the census bureau. Examiners are
somewhat inclined to cynicism concern
ing claims Of more than 100 years be-
cause many prove to be without founda-
ton, they say. According to one inter-
probation Of the reports Of previous old
age counts, the number of persons
claiming 100 years Is constantly dlmin-
ishing In proportion to the total popu-
lation. That may be because Of a
more careful examination of claims
rather than decrease in the number
of centenarians, officials admit. The
absence in the United States of a
uniform system of birth registration
makes II often difficult to investigate
the statements of persons claiming to
be more than 100 years Of age. On the
other hand. II also works to make 1t
difficult for real centenarians to prove
their extreme age.

Census bureau officials are interested
in the claim of Petersburg (va,) vet
eran of the Mexican war whose friends
say he is 102. Although having served
In the most active manner In the Civil
war as well as the earlier conflict, this
man still is hardy and enjoys life
with ten grandchildren and forty-five
great grandchildren. II Is reported
Twice married, but widower, he Is
quoted as having said II will be time
for him to die when he ceases to find
pleasure I'm the society of pretty
young woman. That he msy marry q
third time II he stakes 1t into his
head" Is regarded as a possibility by
the veteran. His third wife will be
widow II he decides to enter mat
rimony again, he explains to friends
"They understand one so WELL" he
says.
Physicians studying longevity nre in
terested In the coming results of the
census bureau age report. That three
score and ten years need not neces.
sarily be taken as the logical age limit
on modern human life represents the
newest medical thought on the sub.
ject. Length of average life Is de-
termined by physical structure and
changes in the composition of the body
rather than by mere length of time
physicians explain. BY examination
of the state of tissues and blood
physicians are now able to determine
the age of any person with a reason
able degree of accuracy.
Studies still are being made by scien'
lists to explain the reported ages OF
many of the characters Of the Bible,
some of whom lived for more than 9OC

 For His Wife

About three months ago she had to undergo an operation for appendicitis, and being already in a weak condition had foar of her not being able to sur vive. She had no appetite, couldn't HlSfol Htl lODh IT bpbi " ohH oh' fered terribly from palpitation and shortness of breath, She had nc strength nor energy and we could find nothing to build her up.
 One of her friends brought hel bottle of Tanlac about three weeks after she got out of the hospital and it. is certainly wonderful how she responded to this medicine, She kept taking the medicine and now has a splendid appetite, is looking after her housework and her chick ems and COW besides She sleeps like healthy child, and has more strength and energy than she hat in many years. I'll tell you Tn the most grateful man on eartl since Tanlac has done so much fo my wife"
