SAYS CORRECT LIVING
WILL EENCTHEN LIFE

Correct living and high standards
of civilization are so increasing the
lives of human beings that by 1850
the average span of life will be
seventy years, according to a pre-
diction made by DR.. George M.
Kober, dean Of the Georgetown Uni
versity Medical School, in a paper
written for the United States Public
Health Service.
Reduction of the mortality rate in
industries and general observance
of the laws of personal hygiene are
lengthening the life span, he stated.
The average life in the United
States is now about fifty-six years.
In 1870, it was forty-one years.

much patience. but she stops at
rattlesnakes that spoil her days

dead six-foot reptile with eleven
rattles on exhibition in this city.

the basket she killed it with a, stick.
The fact that she was forced to

Principal among the eighty-four

William Haar, a former grocery

was said.
Credit for engineering the in

Willebrandt, assistant Attorney Gen.
eral, under whose direction agents
gathered evidence against the COM
bine from all parts of the country.
The agents, it was said, were
handicapped by lack of money and
were opposed by officials in SYM

The flood of liquor which poured
into the United States through
Savannah and other Southern sea-
ports was one of the greatest prob
