TEN MOST CRITICAL YEARS
According to Insurance Expert, They Lie Between :!5 and 1.”,. How old are you? That is a Chinaman's favorite question, but one that is considered quite impertinent in this country. But When you go into an insurance office to take out a policy it is the first thing asked of you. Consequently insurance statistics are the most comprehensive and interesting ones students of longevity can examine. Everybody is more or less interested in facts about the average length of life and the things that establish that average. Therefore the statement the officers of a certain big insurance company that the critical period of man’s life lies between the ages of 35 and 45 is calculated to make us stop and ask the question above. By long and careful watching and calculating this company has ascertained that out of every 100 men who were listed as healthy at 25 years of age, 11 die between the age.-, of 35 and 15, as opposed to five deaths between the ages of 25 and 35, and only four deaths between 45 and 55. Hence they claim that the decade that lies between 35 and 45 is the most critical period of a man's ex- ! it. »r.\ If these statistics are cor-j roborated by those of physicians, I then it behooves tin- man in this period to have a care of himself and take no chance on the supposition that his constitution is “hardened’’ with time. The same insurance company, watching narrowly the business of men as they gather their policies, says that out of every 100 men who start in active business at 25, five will be rich and four will attain to wealth. The company claims that j any reliable court records will show that only three out of every 100 such business men leave estates of
as much as % 10,000. Something like 80 out of 100 leave no interest-bearing estate whatever. There is always the chance of some error in calm lations, but these chances are minimized by the companies whose interests are at stake, and so it is fair to assume that the figures above are as nearly correct as they can be made. It is therefore interesting for a man to think if he stands in the “critical decade” of life, and also to consider tinder which heading of earning capacity his name would fall. —Memphis Commercial Appeal:
The Value of Sunlight.
Sunlight is a great germicide. Our pioneer grandmothers did not know much about germs, but they acted on modern principles when they hung their milk pails and strainers in the sun “to. sweeten, ’* as they said. Sunlight, as well as fresh air, should be used as a part of the general processes of housecleaning. The thrifty habit of shutting out the sun in order to keep carpets and draperies from fading indicates a large degree of ignorance of modern methods of sanitation. The airing and sunning of bedding

every week, all the year round, is a most important part of good housekeeping, hut one which is much neglected, especially by women who live in Hats, where science is very often sacrificed to esthetics. Therefore if becomes imperative that at housecleaning time the under side of rugs, carpets, mattresses and cushions should be exposed to the sun and air for as long a period as possible. Sunlight is free to all. Plants will not thrive without it. Animals love to bask in it. Only man shuns it, and by doing so he incurs unnecessary danger •Tom., tuberculosis and other diseases.— Salt.
