MEAN LIFE TENURE
PHYSICIAN’S VIEWS. London, November 17. Sir Arthur Keith, the eminent psysician, lecturing before the Royal Society of Medicine, said that most people needed spectacles at the age of 45. Some eminent scientists placed the life of a man at 100 years. Personally he believed that Nature worked on the basis that a mean life tenure of 45 should be the limit, and had decided to run the human army on the short service system. It was a moot point whether it would be advantageous to civilisation that all should live to be centenarians.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
