They try to make out that people lived so much longer then ihw now. But they didn't. The tact is, six years have been added to human life since grandfather came into the world. In other words, a child born today has' an average chance of liviog six years longer than If it had been born a century ago. A great deal of this lengthening of the span of life is due to modern plumbing. The plumber has cleaned up the plague spots of America. He has made the home sanitary, which means safe. When every home in this country Is thoroughly sanitary, six or even sixteen more years may be added to life. In thinking of plumbing think of it as increased days upon this good old earth. t H. E.
