Probably a sclentifically accurate lanswer to this question can never be given, for it would be almost impos sible to stage the requisite teats.

A recent editorial in a Pittsburgh paper makes amusing comment on {~Old_Parr,” the Englishman who at-| | tained the ripe age of 152, only to die of Indigestion Induced by overindul- |gence in the flesh pots.

We ar fairly safe in asserting that had Old Parr induiged to any great extent in dietary Indiscretions he could not have reached such u ripe age. On the other hand, it is equally certain thut he was without benefit’ of the scien tific diet information possessed by those of us who are living in the pres ent age of acience.
