45 IS DANGEROUS AGE
FOR EYES AND EARS 1
Defect* Increase Rapidly Between
Forty and Fifty.
Forty-five is the dangerous age for
men’s eyes and ears, if not for the
rest of their bodily equipment, ac- >
cording to studies made recently by
the research division of the Milbank )
Memorial Fund of New York city, on
100,000 records of physical examina-1
tions accumulated by the Life Exten- •
sion Institute.
All of these 100,000 individuals,
the statisticians of the fund report,
were over 25 years old, white, native
born Americans. Many occupations
were represented, mostly from the
better paid and more highly placed
classes. Among individuals between
25 and 40 years old, the statistics ‘
indicate, eye defects were found in
from nineteen to twenty-four per
cent of the persons examined. A
year or two beyond 40 the percent
age of such defects increases sharply,
so that over half of the men of 50
are found to have defective eyes.
A curious point is that the per
centage of eye defects in very old
men actually decreases, probably
meaning that persons with good eyes
are a Tittle more likely to live be
yond 60 or 70 than are men with
eye defects. Some eye defects prob
ably result from general bad health
and are apt to cause early death.
The statistics of defective hearing
show a similar sudden rise in men
of 40 to 45, but no decrease at 60
or 70. Among men between 25
and 40 defective hearing is found
in less than ten per cent of the
persons examined. Between 40 and
60 the percentage of ear defects in
creases rapidly, so that about a third
of the men of 60 have something
"wrong with their ears. At greater
ages, instead of decreasing in per
centage as eye defects do, the ear de
fects increase still more sharply, so
that nearly half of the men of 70
are partly deaf.
Newly Discovered Dye May
Help to Find Internal Cancer
Philadelphia.—Discovery of a dye
by means of which internal cancers
may be detected in their early
stages was announced by Dr. Donald
A. C. Butts, director of Emory lab
oratory of Hahnemann Hospital.
The dye, he said, has a peculiar
affinity for cancerous cells, which
it stains quickly and completely
while leaving surrounding normal
cells uncolored.
Staining the cells increases their
resistance to x-rays so that they
may be more easily detected on an
x-ray plate. The process, Dr. Butts
said, provides an accurate means
for the diagnosis of cancer in early
stages, making possible prompt
surgical, radium or x-ray treatment.
The dye, which is a vermillion, is
injected directly into the veins of
the patients.

Patience in Upbuilding One of
Necessary Elements
of Thrift.
By S. W. Straus, President, American
Society for Thrift.
One of the lessons which we all
must learn, if we are to make pro
gress, is the great value of patience.
It is one of the essentials of thrift.
We must learn that we cannot al
ways accomplish our purpose, no
matter how laudable they may be,
as quickly as we might desire. In
the process of building up our per
sonal resources we should never lose
sight of the fact that safe invest
ments and spectacular profits seldom
if ever go hand in hand. Placing
our funds where we know they are
safe even though the return may [
be considered small is far better
than risking their loss in order to
gain exorbitant profits.
In all matters of personal advance
ment we will do better in the long
run if we exercise patience. Many
a promising career has been ruined
because of efforts to rise too rapid
ly. It is the old story of the house
built sand.
This is an age when the constant
trend is toward speed in everything.
We all want to get to the top quickly;
we all want to get rich overnight;
we all want to compress a week’s
accomplishment into a day’s time.
This is the spirit of the age and is
not to be condemned because it ex
plains the tremendous strides now
being made in every field of en
deavor.
However, it places the individual
in a position of strong and constant
temptation. It is increasingly dif
ficult to be patient and pursue sound
and cautious policies of personal ad
ministration when stories are being
told all about us of the meteoric
advancement in wealth, position or
influence of others. The point often
lost sight of is that very much is
made, 'of very spectacular success
but we seldom hear of the failures.
Notwithstanding the spirit of the
age, patience has a high place in
the scheme of success and advance
ment. Sound policies will always
accomplish more in the long run
than spectacular ones. The man
who arrives at his goal through
patient effort can rest assured that
his success is of the substantial type
which will last.
Those who may feel that their
progress is not as rapid as it should
be may be assurred that, while up
building financially and otherwise
may seem to be of slow growth, they
will in the long run lose nothing by
a continued exercise of patience.
Juryman: I beg to be excused,
Your Honor. I owe a man $lO and
as he is leaving for a long trip
abroad, I want to cacth him before
he gets on the train, and pay him
the $lO. It may be my last chance.
Judge: You are excused. I don’t
want anybody on the jury who can
lie like that.—Pathfinder.

Wounded War Victim*
Helped by Antiseptics
Important ns was the discovery ot
anesthesia. It was of infinitely less
moment than the aseptic technique
which came to us through the work
of Lister and Pasteur, Frederick A
Pottle writes, in the Outlook and In
dependent.
When we remember that the sur
geons of the Civil war knew nothing
about bacteria and the nature of in
fection, we should marvel that they
did ns well as they did. For the run
fority of men who die of wounds In
war are not killed outright, nor de j
they die from the extent of their In i
furies They die in hospitals of In
section.
Our percentage of death from gun
shot wounds In the Civil war was [
13.65; in the World war, 8.12. Thl
gain in efficiency (nothing less than [
the saving of five more mon out of
every 100) was almost wholly due to ,
the development of the aseptic and
antiseptic technique.
And it was a greater gain than at
first appears for without it the per
centage of deaths from infections in >
this war would have been higher than
in the Civil war, because the wounds '
were generally more dangerously in- [
footed, and were of a type more fa
vorable to the development of infec
tion.
City Grafters Skilled
in Makeup and Acting
The woman has lived in New York
for a long time and is hardened to the ■
sight and plea of beggars. When a
timid, middle-aged woman, neatly
dressed, accosted her at Times Square
station, she knew that here was no
ordinary case.
The older woman hesitated and
when she spoke her voice was refined
but nervous. She had lost her way.
She wanted to go uptown and found
herself on the downtown platform.
Would the woman direct her?
The woman did, but the inquirer
held her attention for another mo
ment. She wanted te say something
and did not seem to have the courage.
Finally she summoned it. She had
spent her small change traveling on
wrong trains and did not want to
break a bill. Might she borrow a
dime?
The woman gave her a dime and
started toward the stairway. She
looked back once to see if the stranger
was going in the right direction. The
middle-aged woman had stopped and
was conversing with a man. He had
his hand in his pocket and he was
nodding sympathetically.—New York
Sun.
Boomerang
A railroad man was ready to make
his usual run. His wife instructed
him to get her some turkey eggs to
set. In passing through a small town
a dirty country lad approached the en
gineer and asked him: “Don’t you
want to buy some buzzard eggs?”
Seeing an opportunity to play a joke
upon his wife, he gave the lad a nickel
for them. About a month later he
asked his wife:
“How are your turkeys getting
along?”
“Oh, I decided it was getting too
late for turkeys, so I put them in your
lunch.” —Forbes Magazine.
Quitting at the Start
W. 11. Crane, beloved actor, used to
tell the story of a day’s fishing par
ticipated in by President Cleveland,
Joseph Jefferson and himself. They
fished ail day, and caught nothing.
About six o’clock Cleveland got a lit
tle trout, and Jefferson, who was ready
to drop, suggested:
“Now that we’ve got a fish, let’s go
home.”-
“You’re the strangest man,” retort
ed Cleveland. “Here we’ve been fish
ing all day, and just as they begin to
bite you want to go home I”—Kansas
City Star.
Record Leaf Growth?
A giant-leaved water lily of Japan
and China probably holds the world’s
record for speed in leaf-growing, ac
cording to a note in the British scien
tific journal Nature. This plant, a
relative of the Victoria regia of South
America, expands its four-foot float
ing leaves in less than nine days, in
creasing their diameter at a rate of
nearly a half-inch an hour. At that
rate of growth they produce between
15 and 25 square inches of leaf in
60 minutes.
Whstier’s Extra Monocle
Whistler could play the actor, too.
writes Rollo Walter Brown in “Lonely
Americans.” One day. while he lec
tured informally, his monocle slipped
from his eye and rolled across the
floor. A dozen ardent disciples rushed
to rescue it from the dust and bread
crumbs. He deigned not to touch it.
but with an easy flourish drew a fresh
one from his waistcoat pocket and ad
justed it in his eye as he proceeded
with the lecture.
WEATHER OR NO.
The weather has rain,
And the weather has snow;
It always has something
To gum up the show.
The weather has wind
To play naughty tricks,
And yet without weather
We’d be in a fix.

Drunken Drivers Slay
Some Fifteen Thousand
Facts indicate that drunken driv
ers in this country have killed 15,000
and maimed or otherwise injured
300,000 to 500,000 people, many of
them children.
These facts must be considered in I
any discussion of prohibition repeal. I
At present the drinking driver is a
menace; the doctrine of “personal
liberty” makes him a selfish killer.
Repeal the prohibition law and he
will be a scourge. Canada repealed
prohibition. In seven years whisky
sales trebled and with only a slight
increase in cars convictions for
drunken driving increased 2600 per
cent.
Mounting alcohol incidents in oth
er countries where drinking is un
restricted warn the country that
every vote to liberalize the liquor
laws here adds to the chance of
killing or maiming some one, partic
ularly a child.
We have 80 per cent of the world’s
cars; our accidents grow with each
year. Traffic experts are trying to
save lives needlessly killed by auto
drivers. One sure method of reduc
tion of accidents will be the complete
prohibition of intoxicants. Repeal
prohibition and our roads will be
come long lanes of slaughter.—W. C.
