AGE
Thotaas A. Edison says he is
really 162 years old, because he
has done two day’s work every
day of his eighty-one years.
He did ten thousand years’
work when he changed man’s
lighting system from kerosene to
electricity. His habit o f working
two days in one accounts for the
fact that mentally he is forty,
not eighty-one.
An active mind stays young in
man or woman.
Women grow old prematurely
because badly organized civiliza
tion gives them nothing to do ex
cept talk and dress when their
children are grown.
