SCIENCE ADDS H! LIFE’S SPAN OF 3 SCOREIO Inurance Company Finds Autos in Eighth Place as Death Cause. BY MAX STERN SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.—The days of man shall be three score and ten, says the Bible. But the Bible reckoned without modern science, says Haley Fiske, 75-year-old head of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. “The expectancy of man’s life has been increased from forty-five to fifty-four by modern health agencies,’’ said the veteran financier, here on a visit. “Dr. Lee Frankel of our welfare department, says that at the present rate science is conquering disease this expectancy may be increased to seventy-five, and possibly 100.”

Death Rate Cut Between 1911 and 1926 the death rate among the company’s 20,000,000 industrial policy holders has been cut from 12.5 per 1,000 to 8.8. The Pacific coast made the biggest gains over death last year with only 6.7 per 1,000 among the wage-earners of the company's policy holders. ‘The improvement in industrial mortality between 1911 and 1926 means a saving of 63,330 lives in 1926,” said Fiske. “It means an accumulated saving of 417,628 lives between these years and, in terms of dollars and cents, of $71,500,000.”

Auto Deaths Increase Heart disease leads the list of big killers in America, said Fiske. Then cancer, tuberculosis,‘nephritis, apoplexy, enteritis—and eighth on the list—automobile accidents, these are America’s biggest enemies. Automobile accidents taking 71 per 100,000 are on the increase. Tuberculosis has been cut 54 per cent since 1911, typhoid 80 per cent and children’s diseases 54 per cent. “Prohibition? I cannot see that it has had any effett on the mortality of men in America,” Fiske said. “Deaths from alcoholism have increased since prohibition, but we cannot say that this is because of prohibition.” Fiske doesn’t share the fear of some that the conquest of disease will over-populate the earth.

MVILE&TION by DR.WILL DURANT

I~~|NCE upon a time I, Chuang|j tse, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither. I was conscious only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of my individuality as a man. Suddenly I awoke and there I was, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.” Mencius (379-289 B. C.) preferred Confucius, and spent his life in devotedly expounding and spreading the master’s philosophy; but there is a radical tinge in him which marks him as a man who dared to do some things for himself. He demanded universal education, free trade, and single tax; he attacked trusts, profiteers, and militarists, and said that there had never been or would be a righteous war; and he gently suggested the virtue of tryannicide. * * * EAVEN sees as the people see; Heaven hears as the people hear; the guilty emperor exhausts the mandate of Heaven. Killing a bad monarch is no murder. I love life,” said Mencius, “and I love righteousness. If I cannot have both I choose righteousness.” And he wrote the best epitaph for Lincoln: “When heaven is about to confer a great office, on any man, it first disciplines his mind with suffering, and his bones and sinews with toil. It exposes him to want and subjects him to extreme poverty. It confounds his undertakings. By all these methods it stimulates his mind, hardens him, and supplies his incompetencies.” There were other great names in Chinese philosophy, like Chu-hsi, the sceptic, and Yuan-chu, the Epicurean; but we must here let them be mere names. Only one more philosopher shall lure our pen, and this one has left us, from far back in the Tang dynasty, not a book, nor a name, but a series of paintings in which he proposes to give a history of human thought. The pictures show a man in search of a bull. He finds its tracks, follows them, sights it, captures it and takes it Home. He leads it to his stable and places it in a stall. Then turning as he leaves the stable, he finds that the stall is empty; there is no bull. Truth, perhaps, is like the air maiden on Keats’ immortal urn—forever to be wooed and never to be won. * * * rrr3E have stolen space from y)U war so that we migljj* speak vv of philosophy and art. Perhaps the civilization we have so superficially described is dead; or perhaps it is but hibernating quietly under the winter of European invasion and exploitation.

China seemed to take the affront unresistingly; she had long forgotten the bloody arts her enemies brought to dominate her. She protested in 1851 and again in 18931 today she protests ofice more, and only America seems ready to understand. * • * rTTI HEN the Boxer rebellion was Ivv put down the nations of the L—Ll west exacted a severe indemnity. America, with a wise generosity seldom seen among governments, returned her share of the indemnity, on condition that it should be used in thg education of Chinese students at home and in the United States. Out of that unique courtesy many results have flowed. The students educated here have been taken back to their native land ideas of progress and science which have acted like a fertilizing sperm upon the East. , Inevitably the Manchus fell; and through inevitable chaos a Republic emerged in which youth might find some expression for its ambitions and its growth. The ancient mode of education by memory was ended, the system of examinations was abolished; and the conservative pressure of the old was partly lifted from the new. Today it is another China that is being born, another avatar of the oldest race. • # * IE cannot tell its future; but there it stands, a portent for us all. Potentially, through the fertility and hardiness of its people and the abounding minerals in its soil, it is the richest nation in the world. Will China submit forever to invasion, extortion, dictation, poverty, exploitation and insult; or will it sit subtly at our feet, with almond eyes half shut but ears wide open, and learn our science, our industry and our war, turn and destroy us and itself, bettering our vile instruction? Or will their wisdom and our find a way in which we can live together on the earth? Only a complete perspective can save us from that Last Judgment;

for certainly we shall walk into folly unless we can come to see history Copernicanly, with ourselves not as the centre of all things, but as one part of a moral whole. * * * OND yet it is not with fear that we must approach the East; modesty learns most. Emerson said that in even the simplest ma" he met he could find some element, wherein he might be that man’s pupil. This was the secret of the sage. But so it is with every nation, too; in some way it can teach us and make us grow. Oscar Wilde believed that no country should go to war with France; because it had written perfect prose. And that, though it seems fanciful, is the truth; we must honor every nation to the last point of tolerance if its civilization is one of the precious stones with which men have crowned the earth. Let‘ England be beyond attack because of its perfect poetry, Germany because of its music, Russia because of its novelists, Japan because of its art. And China?—let us honor it with the highest, because for three thousand years it has cherished gentleness, and wisdom, and peace. * * * OERE is a Hindu. Do not look at his eyes, for they will hold you too long.

FREE OF STOMACH TROUBLE SINCE SHE GOT KONJOLA Another Lady Says She Enjoys the Best of Health and Credits New Medicine. In every section of Indianapolis, countless men and women have benefited from the use ol this new Konjola medicine, which The KonJola Man is explaining in person to large crowds daily at Hook’s drug store, Illinois & Sts., this city.

MISS EVA SWAFFORD

One of the latest residents of this section to indorse Konjola is Miss Eva SwafforjJ, who is engaged in her work at the School for Blind, where she is nuch beloved by the children of this school. Misff'Swafford is well known in Indianapolis. “I am very glad to recommend Konjola as one medicine which is really doing everything claimed for it,” said Miss Swafford. ’‘l know what it has done in my case and the wonderful results others are getting from the use of this medicine. “I suffered with a severe case of stomach trouble which made life miserable for me. My food never digested properly and I was alwayi suffering with gas pains and bloating. My food would seem to turn sour instead of digesting and I was also troubled with constipation. I had to take some kind of laxative or cathartic regularly. My whole system was rundown, and I only seemed to be half-living all the time. Then I decided to try Konjola, because everybody spoke in high terms about this medicine. It has proven to be exactly what my whole system was needing, and now * want to say, after giving it a fair .trial, that I am feeling like my real self again. I can eat freely and enjoy my meals, without a thought of indigestion. The gas pains and bloating is gone, and I am free of constipation. I just seem to feel good all the time, and certainly enjoy better health than I ever expected again. I want to indorse Konjola to others for the good it will do.” This Konjola is anew medical formula, containing the medicinal juices of twenty-two natural plants and made into one compound which restores the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels to more healthy, normal action. Konjola banishes the poisons from within the system cleansing the important functionary organs, thus ending the aches, pains and miseries so common among people today. New feelings of health come from the effect of Konjola in a natural and safe way, yet the action of this medicine is amazingly quick and the relief is generally permanent and sure. The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing afhd explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold by every Hook drug store in this city, and by all druggists in the nearby Jowns.—Advertisement.

They are as brown as his skin, or black as his hair; but always dark and brilliant, like lakes at night reflecting a crater’s glow. There was passion here once, as there were tribal wars in India; but now the fire burns low, like India’s freedom. Only among the women of the West are there eyes as soft as these; a certain weariness in them that tells of centuries spent in effort and ending in defeat; and an infinite gentleness that knows the barbarity of strife and the vanity of victory. One could look for hours into those eyes. What is the soul that hides behind them? How did this fine and subtle human type develop? Why is it that this man, when he talks, reveals a profundity and

While in the past ten per cent of the bill has usually been considered sufficient for “service,” an investigation just completed by the International Labor Bureau here has demonstrated that there is now a marked demand to increase this basis.
