c'The General Effect of Sani
tary 5c i: nee in Increasing the
Average Duration of Life, d
Increased Efficiency.
From an economic standpoint, the
averaged met ica child U a liability
until its seventeenth year.after which
time it becomes an asset. That is to
sar, it is ctwsiry for the individual
and the public t contribute to the
physical, mental ana moral develop
ment of a child until it reaches its
seventeenth year. After the seven
teenth year the averags American

in addition to in own support, be
comes a source of revenue for others,
individuals and for the government
or public. Ieath before seventeen
means a knancial loss of ail that the
individual and public have invested
in the child; after seventeen, the
longer death is delayed the greater
the returns on the investment Any
thing, therefore, that diminishes the
probability of death before seventeen
and increases the probability of life
after seventeen is financially and in
dividually a public blessing. Such
a blessing is sanitary progress from
a business standpoint.
Going back to the oldest reliable
statistics in existence on the dura
tion of life, we find that in the six
teenth century the average duration
of life was 21.2 years; at the begin
ning of the nineteenth century about
30 years; at the present the average
duration of life is U years. During
the last quarter of the nineteenth
century, the most active period in
the growth of natural science, the
average duration of life increased at
the rate of 25 years per century, and,
between 1800 and 1900 the increase
in Massachusetts was at the rate of
40 years per century. The following
table summarizes present progress
in the lengthening of life:
Present rate in Massachusetts, 14
years.
Present rate in Europe, 17 years.
Present rate in Prussia, 27 years.
In India, where sanitation is un
known, the average duration of life
is 23 years, or what it was about 40
years ago.
Just as the light of sanitary sci
ence rises nearer the meridian of
perfection, so the shadow of death
shortens.

Flint Kidge, a church belonging
to the colored people and which was
located I miles southeast of Jlamh
ville, was burned Sunday night be
tween 3 and 1 o'clock. The building
was a new one which had just been
completed. The old church build
ing standing nearby was also burn
ed. There has been ill feelings be
tween some of the colored people of
that community for some time. The
Holiness movement struck tho neigh
borhood a year or two ago and a hall
in which a Holiness meeting was
being conducted was burned some
time last summer or fall. It is be
lieved that Flint Ridge, which was a
Baptist church, was burned by an
incendiary.
"Buster" Carelock, a small colored
boy of this place, had the toes on
his right foot ilatlened Thursday by

started to cross the track just ahead
of a moving freight train and either
failed to get on the track or was
crossing backwards and didn't quite
get oil before the car wheel struck
his toes

WHY
Piedmont Buggies
are the height of perfection
in huggy building.
To build a buggy that combines style, comfort, finish and durability
has been our aim since the first conception of Piedmont Buggies. Our fac
tory is located in the famous Piedmont section of North Carolina -the
best timbered section in this country: our machinery is of the latest
improved patterns; every man in our shop is a skilled mechanic, and every
inch of material used is carefully selected and inspected by experts. These
are some of the conditions that go to make Piedmont Babies the height of per
fection in buggy building.
We have studied careful! v the riYuin,ments of buggies in the South, and
endeavor to construct our Piedmont Budgies to meet these com! it i ns-they are
built in the South, by Southern people and for the Southern p.-ople.
Piedmont Buggies will give you better service,
last longer, and cost less to keep up.
