LIFE PROLONGED TWENTY
YEARS

DR.. w. A, Evans in the Wisconsin
Medical Journal says:
One other illustration along the
same general line, although it cannot
be portrayed as well as can the sub
ject that l have just been touchina
upon Something over 80 years ago
the average age at death was not far
from 33 years. Now the average age
at death is about IS years. And we
are told that within a very few years,
perhaps within the span of my life
time, the average age at death will
be rs years. Never mind about that
The average age at death is now So
years. Now let us see what that
means. Think about it this way, if
you please. When the average age
at death was 33 years, the man a:
about 20 was an active producer.
Prior to about 20 he had been com,
munity liability. At 20 he became a
community asset, and for the remain,
der of his life he was an asset to his
family and to the community at large.
For 13 years thereafter the average
citizen remained a community asset.

Il awakened each morning with an
unpleasant taste and was often re-

Il tried perfumed tablets, mouth
washes and other camoufages which
gave only temporary relief.

Pudding Stones

When we entered the war we seized
the German ships, the docks and the
river-edge land. The German compa-
MES paid huge sums in taxes to Ho.

Government became an owner. Just
now the Government is about to turn
this property over to the Port Authori
ty, representing the Government. Ho
boken is making an effort to tax as be-
fore the war Relieving this property
from taxation has increased the taxes
in Hoboken. There is an injustice in
the present arrangement, though ap
pearing according to law.

Campaigning is exhausting, using

Land Of Flying Animals

Australia is the home Of flying AMI
mails and boasts of at least twenty spe-
cies. They claim to have flying mice.
squirrels, opossums and also species
of bear that flies. The species gem
orally is referred, to as 'phalanger."
This means that they have extending
from the front to the hind legs. mem
brane which enables them to float in
quite graceful way from tree to tree.
They are not really flying animals, but
gliders. The flying squirrel is said to
be the most beautiful mammal in the
world. 1t is odd that in the land where
many animals fly, birds often cannot
fly at all. Both the emu and the cas-
sowary are practically wingless and
have to depend upon their long and
strong legs to escape from their enc
mics.

familiar these things sound. 1t seems
a simple matter to redeem our lost

SILENCE

I'M ROMAN ROLAND In -Jean-
AV4e Christophe," in describing Rosa
Euler and her garrulous family, says:
always her shrill voice was heard
In the house telling stories. always
breathless, as though she had no time
to say everything, always excited and
animated In spite Of the protests
which she drew from her mother. her
father. and even her grandfather, ex-
asperated, not so much because she
was forever talking as because she
prevented them talking themselves.
For these good people, kind, loyal. de-
voted very cream Of good people
had almost all the virtues, but they
lacked one virtue which Is capital, and
Is the charm Of life: the virtue Of 81
lence."
My father used to say when we
were all chattering away and he found
1t difficult to keep us quiet, or when

common and frequent admoniti0n

admonitions were not few, was to hold
my tongue, and so far as / have been
able to carry out this suggestion

out much more that have wanted to
know by listening and keeping silent
than by talking and asking questions.
When you talk to a man and ask him
direct questions, you often shut him
up and make him suspicious. How
ever much one talks and however
much about any topic one knows,
have found, too, that It Is the part Of
wisdom to keep little in reserve
never to tell quite all that one knows,
just as In the matter 1t is wiser to
keep little balance In the bank.
George Eliot, in adam Bede,' be-
lieve it Is, says that it Is a test of
friendship that two people may walk
or sit together for an hour and yet
say nothing nor feel any desire or OBJ
legation to do so.
1t is not easy to keep silent under
taunt, or when an. argument is going
on or matters are being discussed
about which we may know more per-
haps than those who are conducting
the discussion, but it Is often far wiser
to do SO.
Silence is often more eloquent and
more Illuminating than speech. II

bell five minutes after they had all sat
down to the table. Sister jumped up

She had stern expression Of coun-

Don't explode" said she, taking
him quite seriously. "Open your mouth
and your throat and let the laugh

finally dying away softly and deli

to restrain himself any longer; you

And he emitted a perfect series Of

Then he fixed his features into a huge

without making sound, so wide that

raw, red interior.
At this point Sister left the table
