st: hbar & labels

Hello,
I have a horizontal graph bar in which each bar represents the total
population for a certain age (from 10 to 99 years).
Labels are too many (10 to 99) and make the graph look messy.
I would like to reduce the number of labels that appear in the graph,
for instance, only multiples of 5 (10, 15, 20, ....99)
My code is the following:
input age totpop
10 100
11 200
12 150
13 300
14 220
15 330
end
graph bar totot, over(age, label(alternate labsize(*.5)) )
Let´s say, in this small dataset case, I would only like the labels
"10" and "15" to appear.
I am sure there is a trivial way of achieving this, but I haven't been
able to find it.
Many thanks,
Maria
