                (e.keyCode >= 35 && e.keyCode <= 39)) {
                // let it happen, don't do anything
                return;
            }
            else {
                event.preventDefault();

ASCII key codes

Minus symbol ASCII value is 45

$("#Age").keydown(function (e) {
  if (e.keyCode != 45) { //it does't allow user to enter minus(-) symbol
    ..
  }
  else {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
}); // end of $
