LONG LIFE.
Ctab la Straggling with tbe Problem of
Ltoki for a Camtavy
About 100 professional and scientific
men and women of this city have set
about in a methodical way to discover
the secret of long life, says the New
York Mall and Express. They call
themselves the Hundred Year club.
They are not cranks In any sense of
the word, and are conducting their
inrestlgatlons soberly and sensibly.
These persons believe that under pres
ent conditions it ought to be easy to
nrolone one's life to 100 years. If the
science of living can be developed"
that centenarians become numerous. It
would be only a step to raise the limit
of 10 or 20 years, or even more, so
that extremely old men and women
might be found elsewhere. They do
not seek merely to keep men alive as
an exhibit, but they want him to be
a useful member of tho community to
the day of his death. They are not
vegetarians, Christian Scientists, or
Ralstonites. Neither hate they pledged
themselves to live according to any
particular set of rules, or to apply tho
secret of longevity to themselves, if
they discover it. They are open-minded
and unprejudiced. They meet and
discuss the cries of correct living, and
as a matter of course try to live, cor
rectly themselves. They do not pre
tend to say they will live to be cen
tenarians, but In common with mo3t
Dersons they hope they may. Promln
ent among the members of the Hund
red Year club are Mrs. Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, Theodore Sutro, Dr. Carleton
Simmons. Dr. H. W. Wiley, director of
the United States pure food display at
the Paris exposition; G. W. Smith,
anvrr TVimf r Mrs Mary Banks
Stacey. John De Witt Warner, Dr
John R. Haves, of the United States
pension bureau. Washington, and CoL
