Country Healthier Than City And
Our Women Out Live The Men
Kansas Folks Live Longest; Uncle
Sam Complies Interesting Figures
From Last Census.
Especial to Leader Enterprise)
BY Robert Fuller

By Robert Fuller
Women live longer than men in the
United States. Life in the country is
healthier than life in the city.
That statement explodes lot of pet
theories of our city brethren who have
spread propaganda for many moons
on the perfection of their sanitary ex-
istence.
The Bureau of Census at Wash
ington has jost compiled some inter-
esting figures from the recent census.
They should add to the contentment
of all rural jewellers.
The average life of women in the
country is 81 years. OF men, S. yrs.
The average life of city women is
81 years. Of men 81 years.
The average life of both city and
country women has increased nearly
three years and for men nearly four
years in the last 10 years.
The healthiest spot in the Union
seems to be Kansas. Women average
90 years there and men average SO
years.
Here Are the Average Years of Life

Braddock, he visited the fort.

prosperous as ever" asked Count de
Chambrun, should take their share
in the reparation of the damage they
have done, is our claim unjuStified?
When we assert that they, who are
responsible for the laying waste of a
rich country, should, on behalf OF
reparation, pay taxes as heavy as
the taxes paid by those who have
had their homes destroyed. Is there
in such a contention any touch of
unfairness? There is not an honest
man in the world, even among our
former antagonists, who can con-
scientiously deny the justice of our
claim"
Citing repeated" statements that
Frances military and naval expendi-
lures "are excessive" Count de
Chambrun declared These expenses,
which are being reduced from year
to year, are at this moment less
than those of the United States and
almost one-half less than those of
