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. If the deposed and exiled em peror of China can’t make a liv ing any other way—and he prob ably can’t—rsome American movie producer will give him a job emping. Another tragedy of progress— the radio keeps the children at home evenings so much that dad has no privacy any more. It’s a mystery to the rest of the why a “hiccough epidemic should be a mystery in New York. England with a change of gov? ernment always looks like the same old John Bull in a new suit. The country seems to be getting all set for a rip-roarin’ Thanks giving. There was a canvasser at the door trying to sell Mrs. McNobb a burglar alarm. Li But I don’t need any of your burglar alarms, she told the man, making as if to shut the door. a That’s just what the woman next door said,” was the reply. tt What do you mean?” asked Mrs. McNobb, now on the alert, she hated “that woman. She said that it was no use my calling on you,” went on the man, “as you wouldn’t need any, as you had nothing worth steal ing. M Give me three, yy interrupted Mrs. McNobb, gritting her teeth. A western minister tells a story showing how a bishop 1 , accosted C hi c ago stree t , by a ncat hirt hungry stranger, derived profit from the encounter. Now the bishop took a fancy to the needy one, took him to a hotel and shared a cood dinner with him. Yet, havingSeft his episco pal wallet in the pocket of a dif ferent episcopal jacket, he sud denly faced the embarrassment of not having the wherewithal to pay for the dinner. “Never mind,” exclaimed the guest, “I have enjyed dining with you, and T shall be charmed to pay the price. Allow me.” ArRl the stranger paid for the two. This worried the prelate, who insisted: • * Just let me call a tuxi and we’ll run up to my place, where I shall have the pleasure of reim bursing you.” But the stranger met the suggestion with: • « See here, old man. You’ve stuck me for a bully good dinner, but hanged if I am going to let you stick me for taxi fare.

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.
