Normal Age Extended
by Modern Science

Americans are living longer today
average life span is still about ID
years short of the biblical "three-scOre
and ten," which is popularity supposed
TO be the normal limit Of human life.
At the present rate Of increase It
will be another half century before the
average man or woman will be justified
in counting definitely on the 70 years
Of existence mentioned by the Hebrew
poet, DIR. Harvey w. Wiley writes In
Good Housekeeping.
In 1875, when the state Of Massaehu-
sets began compiling the statistics, in
habitants of the United States died at
an average age of about 1871. BY 1900
this figure had been increased to q
fraction under 4S and ten years later
to approximately so. And In 1920, the
date Of the latest available figures, the
average white child could be expected
to live almost exactly IS years.
This steady improvement is due
largely to better protection Of the new
born. particularly the control Of hot
weather diseases among children. In
fantile diarrhea or summer COM
plaint," which formerly brought death
to so many thousands of little ones, Is
now known to be caused by the infec-
ton Of food. and the modern mother
has learned to take special care to
avoid exposing her baby's food supply
to diarrheal infection during the hot
months. AS result the infant death
rate has dropped from II per cent to
about 8 per cent in the last 40 years.
Grownups, too, have learned to stave
off death from natural causes by
means Of sanitation, proper diet and
vaccination The whole theory of in
fiction based upon Pasteur's immortal
work, Is now we'll known and under
stood Its understanding is not con-
fined alone to physicians and physiol-
and the young child have more or less
a working knowledge Of how to pre-
vent infection.
The average American woman lives
about three years longer than the aver
age man. Kioling's fling at females
needs slight revision. 1t should read ::
1.-THE female Of the species Is more
vital than the male"
1t is also shown that the average
length of life of the colored race in
this country is at least 10 years less
than that of the white race.

REUET l.. HIGGINS.

Reuel l.. Higgins passed away on
December 2S, after few weeks i'll
ness of typhoid fever. His death
was a great shock to his family and
friends. for although it was known
he was seriously i'll, it was little
realized the end was so near.
Mr.. Higgins was born at Bar
Harbor twenty-one years ago. Four
years ago the family moved to this
village, where he had since resided.
Mr.. Higgins had won the friendship
of large circle. He was a young
man of sterling character, clean
habits, and one such as it is hard to
lose in a community where he is
much needed. At the time of his
being stricken with typhoid. he had
just accepted a position with the
government to be connected with the
customs business on the island.
Much sympathy is expressed for
the grief-stricken parents, Ma. and
Mrs. Fenelon Higgins. He leaves
also two sisters, Mrs. II. L. Graham
and Mrs. Howard Higgins of Bar
Harbor, and one brother, Howe d.
Higgins of Southwest Harbor.
The funeral was held at Union
church Wednesday, only the i'm
mediately family being present.
Burial was at West Eden cemetery.
The bearers were A. c., Burton,
Robert and John Fernald. There
were many beautiful flowers, tokens
of the esteem in which the deceased
was held.
