Age 81 Has Tragic Meaning
for Average Man or Woman
U. S. Life Tables show health span extends only
from Is to 31-Earnings fall off
rapidly after 40

Physical freedom and full vigor-
what are they worth to youi This is a
question the average American can
answer from his own bitter experience
for at age 81 the average American
begins to slip. After 40 his earning
power drops off rapidly. These ap-
palling facts are shown by the United
States Life Tables, 1920.
Age 31i The age at which men and
women should be entering their period
of greatest usefulness and happinessl
The beginning Of the supposed prime
Of life"
Not the prime Of life. The age Of
decayl What causes contribute to
this fearful condition.
Unwise eating. Sleeplessness. The
loading of the body with drug stinru
lants, which appear to give added
energy, but actually borrow this
energy from the body's own reserve.
Every school child is taught to
avoid stimulants. Most mothers en-
force the no-cofee rule for children.
Then comes maturity-and the squan-
dering of the reserve strength which
the body has stored up. Figures show
that the average American is able to
stand the pace just 13 years. Then,
with half his life yet before him, he
hits the down grade.
Medical literature CLASHES caffein
as a poison Like strychnin, it is
sometimes by doctors given in cases of
heart failure. The average cup Of cot
fee contains the usual dose Of caffein |
administered in these cases.
Coffee contributes no nourishment to |
the body. Its only virtues, as a .bever-
age, are its warmth and flavor. A hot,
appetizing, drsgless drink il benefit
with every meal

College Student Writer
Says Glasses Lack Vim

Charging that some students who at
tend classes are so dead, dull. dreary
and weary that they are almost de-
funct," a student editorial writer In
the Minneapolis Daily, student publica-
ton at the university, declares that
the professor who wears long face
needn't be blamed for his demeanor.
Professors should be honored as
martyrs for even attempting to lee
ture to some classes" the editorial
says. 1.-THE students are as inspiring
as a peanut, as eager as a piece of
clay. What professor can be blamed
for lengtheniIig his countenance be-
fore lecturing to a group of mourners?
The wonder Is, from one point of view,
that more of them do not wear gray
gloves and black neckties."
The undergraduate goes on TO ad-
wise students TO smile at the. instruct
or's jokes, even If they are ancient,
and grin a little broader at 'profes-
sionai irony" This procedure, he pre-
diets, would cause the instructor to
''burst into bloom of life. His per
sonality would be stimulated"
