FASTING FOR YOUTH
The fountain of youth is fast
ing, according to Prof. Carlson of
the department of physiology of
the University' of Chicago.
He applies the treatment in
doses of 15 days, trying it on
himBelf as well as his subjects.
After that period, he says, there
is a remarkable increase in the
“rate of metabolism. »»
That is, the bodily cells and tis
sues undergo vital changes more
rapidly, instead of remaining stag
nant as they do* normally in old
age.
Food is digested better and as
similated better, ,
This improvement lasts after
-V i
temporary loss of food has
been made up and the body has
returned to normal weight.
The body is renewed like that of
a child or a youth, recovering
quickly from exhaustion and hav
ing all its processes speeded up.
Mftny ft person eager for the
benefits will shy ftt the means of
attaining them,
Prof. Carlson, however, insists
that fasting is not painful,
the body may be temporarily
weakened, he says, but there is no
unpleasant mental reaction, and
the faster doesn’t feel so hungry
after the first two or three days.
So we’re probably in for a star
vation craze now.
But the grocers and butchers
needn’t worry.
The patients will eat more than
ever when they get their meta
bolism straightened out.
DOVES FOR CHRISTENING
Instead of breaking a bottle of
wine over the bow of the big Ger
man air cruiser, ZR-3, when she
christens it, Mrs. Coolidge is ex
pected to release a flock of doves.
It is a striking variation of the
traditional method of christening
sea and air craft, and an appropri
ate one.
The Secretary of the Navy ex
plains that the doves will be a
symbol of peace, thus suiting the
occasion because the Zeppelin is
to-be -used only for peaceful pur
poses, and typifies peace between
America and Geremany.
That may be a satisfactory ex
planation, even though the airship
is under the control of the navy, a
fighting force.
It would be enough, however, to
use the dove on such an occasion
as a symbol of flight.
A carrier pigeon or an eagle
might be still better.
TUBERCULOSIS CURE
Many remedies for the “white
plague” have appeared in succes
sion, and raised the hopes of mil
lions only to blight them.
Intelligent people have learned
to be wary of new “cures” and
trust to the healing powers of sun
light, fresh air, nourishing food
and adequate rest.
Meanwhile the search for medi
cal cure goes on incessantly.
It may be that the treatment
announced the other day by Dr.
A. W. Freeman, professor of pub-
lie health art Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, • is the eagerly sought
secret
Dr; Freeman told a conference
of health commissioners of a dis
covery made in Denmark, under
government auspices, which shows
remarkable promise but is “not
yet ready for the pubjic" because
some of the difficulties of the
treatment are not yet satisfactor
ily worked out.
This new remedy is no scrum or
other animal product.
It is a straight drug combiha
tion dd to consist of “a double
sa.w of sodium and gold and hpyo
sulphuric acid.”
It differs in its action from all
other tubercular remedies, in mak
ing iu fight directly against the
tubercle bacilli, seeking them out
and destroying them as quinine
destroys malaria germs.
Thus it may prove to be a gen
uine “specific. *>
Cures are reported in advanced
cases, with the healing of “lesions”
or wounds left oy the ravages of
i the bacilli.
The main difficulty is that the
very slaughter of these bacilli, by
millions, pours into the blood
stream such a volume of “tuber
culin the poisonous product of
the bacilli, that it induces a high
fever and a severe shock.
When that is overcome, Prof.
Freeman hopes, the remedy will be
available for the public.
It would be hard to imagine any
greater boon for suffering im
munity.

peror of China can’t make a liv

ably can’t—rsome American movie

There was a canvasser at the

The last official request made
of President Coolidge by the late

cently tti become a candidate for
governor of New York state.
In addition to father and son,
another Roosevelt, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, a democrat, was assis
tant secretary of the navy. That
was in the Wilson administration.
Request on Sick Bed.
Senator Lodge made his request
by letter from his sick bed in Na
hant, a few days after Col. Roose
velt had resigned, to follow, as
he hoped, the political path of
his father, who had gone from as
sistant secretary of the navy to
governor of New York after the
■
Spanish war.
Robinson is the son of Douglas
Robinson and Mrs. Corinne Roose
velt Robinson, a sister of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, the elder. He

man of the New York State pro
gressive committee from 1912 to
1914.

New York, Nov.18.—A vicious
cold snap, descending suddenly,
froze up New York during the
early hours of Monday and
brought on with a bewildering
rush the annual tragedy of that
strata of society which has no
money, no job and no home.
Tragic.
It was as tragic as usual, this
yearly retreat of old men—and
old women, too—who during the
warmer months sleep in parks and
doorways.
The first blast of winter struck
in the night after most of them
had picked out their hard beds
and H retired, and Monday was
the coldest November 17 which
has yet been recorded.
Old Man Found Frozen.
On an old iron grating, in an
alleyway, dawn found the frozen
body of a man whose name no
body knows. The iron grating
had always before been productive
of a warm and all-enveloping
hreair, but this time the heat had
fled before the hitter cold.
Officers of the Salvation Army
said the victim had frequently
registered .with them as (4 a
friend. *»
Old Woman Dying.
An old woman, hatless, and
flimsily clad, was found in a park.
She is believed to be dying in a
hospital from exposure. New
York knows even less about her
than it does about “a friend. n
But these were only two cas
ualties among the many hundreds
of life battered folks, who, until
a few days ago, were draped
nightly on the park benches, the
bare ground and the doorsteps.
Heavy Snow in Virginia.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 18.—For
the first time this season Virginia
is experiecing a wave of real
winter weather. From all parts
of the state come reports of a
drop in temperature, while a
heavy snow fall was reported
yesterday afternoon at Abingdon.
BERRIEN COUNTY TAX
COLLECTOR REMOVED
Atlanta, Nov. 18.—By order of
Governor Clifford Walker, on re
quest of the board of commission
ers of roads and revenues for Ber
rien county, S. B- Griner has been
removed from the office of tax col
lector for that county.
The removal follows charges of
a shortage in the tax collector’s
accounts. During a hearing held
before the governor last week Mr.
Griner blamed this shortage on
bailiffs. The ordinary of the coun
ty will appoint a collector to serve
until an election can be held to fill
the vacancy.
EDUCATION
Mr. H. Edgar Roomp was a firm
believer in the right of the child
to choose its own way in life.
“I had a strict father,” said Mr.
Roomp. “I wanted to be a phy
sician, but my father insisted that
I go into business. Nothing like
that is going to happen to my
child. He’s not going to be forced
into business. If he doesn’t study
medicine, 1111 disinherit him.”
WALK IN
Crawford—Who was that man
who said he was never kept wait
ing in anterooms ? Some big poli
tician ?
Crabshaw—No, bootlegger.
