SCIENCE -
LONGER LIFE

The annual loss TO the United
States from prcvcntablc diseases Is
estimated at 100000.
Modern medical science has re.
moved most OF the diseases OF few
years ago that stood in the way OF
long life. To-day long life is prob.
able, with reasonable care. while 90
years ago IT was very doubtful
whether person could acquire old
age. He had to be lucky" TO do II.
During the last 500 years the life
span has more than doubled. In tho
last 25 years alone II has been in.
creased by more than 10 years. The
average length of life in the United
States is now IS years. In 1900 IL
was only 45 years.
Perhaps the biggest factor In this
situation is that babies now get
good start in the world. A few years
ago they were under Il great handi.
cap. IL was then thought useless to
try TO avoid certain childron's dis.
eases. Today science has practically
stamped out these dlseascs--that is.
science has made II unnecessary for
children 10 have them. a baby, born
today, gets n vastly better start than
10 years ago.
