AIM OF HIS LIFE TO 0 F LAY DEATH Scientist Finds Parasite in Dogs That Attacks Harmful Microbes of Did Age. PARIS, June 17.—“1 am still seeking to discover the means to prolong youth, to find the cause of old age and to de lay its coming as long as possible,” said Professor Elie Metchnikoft. of the ' Pasteur institute, today. "Old age and the inevitable death . that follows it are due chiefly to three illnesses—hardening of the arteries, j cirrhosis of the I’ver and intestinal in- , flammation of s he kidneys," continued , the great Russian. "Let us arrest these and we arrest decay. War of the Microbes. 'White rats, being essentially omniv orous, were selected for many and va ried experiments at the Pasteur instl tue to determine how to destroy the baleful microbes that hasten old age," Metchnikoff went on. referring to the paper he read before the Academy of Sconces, in which he made the state ment. "We found that animal food, generally, produces more toxin mi crobes than vegetables. “Now mark you, our digestive organs rapidly absorb sweet food, whereas al buminoid foods, less assimilative, lodge 1 themselves in the large intestine which seems to be the chief center of the , struggle between the toxic microbes V and the beneficent microbes, the 'pha gocytes,' which may be called the po licemen of the human system, living germs of great voracity which prey upon the harmful microbes. "Sugar acts as an energetic destruc tive agent on toxic microbes. But sug ar is too rapidly absorbed, so it does not reach the battlefield where good and evil microbes struggle. Working Out the Problem. “So we of the Pasteur institute Fought to solve a double problem. We wished to find a microbe which assimi lates sugar and which we could send • into the large intestine. But, besides, this microbe must be able to live where only albuminoids remain. “I rejoice to say that we have dis covered this sugar-earrying, sugar-pre serving microbe," Metchnikoff con cluded. "It exists in dogs. It is a par asite of starch and it transforms starch into sugar.. It*has the further advan tage of not attacking albuminoids or of producing any poisonous matter. "I am extremely hopeful that we have . solved the problem—that soon we will be able to prolong human life, to delay time to balk death—for years at least.” ■ MYSTERY SURROUNDS SLAYING OF WEALTHY MAN IN MONTGOMERY MONTGOMERY.

JUNE 17, 1912. Lehrs Tram Boy To Be Chesterfield FIT HIM TO LEAD SOCIETY NET YORK. June 17. -Tv train an American boy for society as a "career,” to deliberately educate him for the po sition of a modern Chesterfield, to sur round him with tutors who will teach the finesse of pleasure, the science of etiquette and the art of doing nothing —that is the which Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lehr are attempting, if reports of their plans are true. The boy in the case is. of course, young "Jack” Dahlgren, the son of Mrs. Lehr by her former marriage. It is said to be the ambition of his mother and his stepfather—himself the “glass of fashion" for so many years—to see the boy grow up Into an ideal man of leisure—an epitome of American aris tocracy. The friend of the Lehrs who men tioned the new human experiment yes terday pointed accurately to the sev eral recent stages of Dahlgren's prog ress through the whirlpools of youth as indicating a marked intention on the part of his elders to steer him clear not only of the pitfalls of love, but also of the shackles of a profession. Torn From Candy Shop Girl. The young man was In Cambridge preparing to enter Harvard last fall, when he began to show a tendency to spend his time in a candy shop w here a certain Mabel Hobbs dispensed sweet meats and smiles. Mrs. Lehr heard of this over in Europe and, rushing across the Atlantic, she cancelled her son's Harvard education and brought him here to Fordham, where he could be under the eye of his uncle, Eric Dahlgren. Thus was "marriage out of one’s set" banished from the mind of the fu ture Beau Brummei. At Fordham, he developed a marked interest in the study of medicine. It was reported that he intended to be come a practicing surgeon. It is said that the report reached his nearest kindred and steps were taken to turn his interest to other than professional lines. Just a few days before he sailed to Join his mother at the Ritz in Paris, where were rumors that he had told his friends he intended to become a priest and ally himself forever with the Society of Jesus. This idea was refuted by a friend. Society, Not the Priesthood. "The prtesthod? Well, not for ’Jack’ Dahlgren." he said. "True, the fami lies on both sides are good Catholics, but this young man will take his place in society, not in the church. His mother objected strongly to his be coming a physician, not that she op posed his having a thorough educa tion, but that she had set her heart on schooling him for the life of leisure that befits his wealth and position. “There was a time, too, when he showed a tendency to take up elec trical engineering. 7 Both his mother and grandmother opposed that plan." Shortly after the return of Mr. and Mrs. Lehr to America, which is ex pected during the early fall, they will announce their plans for the building of an elaborate palace at Newport Mrs. Lehr, of course, expects her son to take a foremost place in that social Capital of the “Four Hundred.” Within less than a year young Dahl gren will step into the first of several inheritances which he will eventually receive. This first installment will come from his grandmother's estate. He will also tak® possession of two houses and valuable real estate In Philadelphia from the fortune of his grandmother, who was Elizabeth I trexel. ROOSEVELT'S HAT IN the_drink NOW CHICAGO, June 17.—Roosevelt's hat in the ring proved an Inspiration to one of Chicago's skilled drink "artists.” and visitors to the hotel where he presides at the bar now find tn their glasses little “Teddy hats" made, of orange peel. One of these little novelties is put in every drink served, but among the Taft advocates it is more popular in lem onade than in any stronger beverage. They like to joke about “Teddy’s hat in the lejnonade now," and then point out that the colonel himself is being “handed a lemon” by the national com mittee. ARMY ORDERS~| WASHINGTON.

Manicuring, per man SI.OO Listening to story of his life .. .. 1.50 Ditto—troubles with his wife .... 2.00 Ditto —personal love talk 3.00 That’s the tentative price schedule now under consideration by Atlanta 10. cal No. 1. International Manicures and Barbers Assistants union, at present composed of two blonds and one pretty brunette, who hold your hand while an uptown barber does his worst with your whiskers. It hasn't gone into ef fect yet, but the members maintain that 50 cents is entirely too little for restor ing two average-sized mitts to the beauty of infancy, and the line of talk they must perforce absorb should be assessed at the same rate as a long distance talk between Atlanta and Chi cago. If they can persuade the rest of the manicure girls to enter the union, organize against strikebreakers and get a firm hold on most of the barber shops, they figure they’ll be riding in their own automobiles next summer instead of sharing a taxi with a new friend every day. Thus does the cost of high living con tinue to undergo revision upward; thus must wifey’s allowance for hair and other makeup be cut in order that hub by's hands may reveal no trace of hon est toil. Time was when the office shears and a hunk of yellow soap sup plied all the essential ingredients for manicuring an Atlanta man, but the world progresses, Tessie, and one must march with the procession or get butted by- somebody’s limousine. "But, honest, 50 cents for a mani cure doesn't keep me in chewing gum,” said one of the fair organizers. "You needn’t mention my- name in the paper, for I’ve got a naturally timid dis position and don’t believe in self-ad vertisin'. Still, if you insist, I can get you a brand new photo which the artist says is a beautiful piece of work, though it doesn’t do me Justice. I’ve Just given it to a gentleman friend, but I can get it back, all right. Anyway, It ain’t the trimmin" and the brushin’ that gets my goat. It’s the line of hot air us girls has got to soak into our systems from the time the first guy blows in until the boss hands out his last check and locks the door. You gentlemen are always kickin’ on the free conversation the barbers throw in with a shave, but you don’t get more'n twenty minutes of it on a stretch. It's different with us girls. I bet I've heard more tales of misplaced affection and more monologues on foolish wives that don't understand a man’s true nature than Robert W. Chambers could sling into a shelf full of books. I think if a man Just must talk he ought to hire a hail or pay the listener by the hour. Why, good-morning! Yes. you're next. Why, what on earth have you been do ing with these hands?” But Can a Sister Blush Like Mabel? The telegraph operator at the Pied mont smiled broadly when she re ceived a very gushing telegram from a smartly dressed young woman this morning The telegram was directed to a college student at th® University of Georgia, and was signed only by the first name of the sender. It read: Mr. John Jones, University of Georgia, Athens. I’ll be over to commencement Saturday, and you know, dear, how glad I’ll be to see you. I haven't been able to sleep at nights for thinking of you. I wish you would come over here oftener, because 1 am always in good spirits when you are here. One million hugs and kisses. (Signed) MABEL Os course, the name wasn't actually John Jones, and wasn't signed by Ma bel. but they will, serve just as well. As th® smartly dressed young girl was leaving the hotel, she noticed the broad grin on the face of the telegrapher. She blushed furiously, started out of the door and then returned. "Will you let me have that telegram back?" she asked of the operator. Up on receiving ft. she made a change at the bottom. The telegram was now signed— "MAßEL JONES. "John’s Sister.’’, Impudent Auto Horns Insult Bill Blevins. “It ain't the way these here auto mobeels keep a man jumpin’ like St. Vituses’ dance, or the way they squirt mud and gasoline on his clo'se, that makes me plumb sore.” remarked Mr. William Blevins today as he stood In the Peachtree entrance of the Kimball, sprinkled the sidewalk with the es s< • ce of navy plug and eyed the pass ing procession with interest born of novelty. "It’s the durned insultin’ hawns them chiffoniers blows Jes’ be fore they hits you. "I dont mind havin' to cross Peach tree street in three Jumps and a hop. I don't mind gittln’ caught between two or three of them snortin' hell carts and a street car and havin’ the buttons ripped oft’n my coat tails. I ain’t got no objections to them hawns that blows a soft and soothin’ note like a steamboat giftin' ready for a land in'. But when one of them Smart Ike niggers reaches down and toots a trum pet that sounds like a saw bittin' a hickery knot and does it so sudden I swallers my eatin’ terbaccer, then I gits hot under the collar. "They’ve got hawns in this town that’s positively insultin'. They don't say, Please give me room,’ like them soft ones I jes’ mentioned. They yells, 'Seat, you poor white trash,’ and then they’re gone by like a bad-smellin’ comet. I’m goin’ to see if Randolph Anderson and Hooper Alexander and me can't frame up a law this cornin' session that'll make them things a cor. poral offense." DRESS OF YOUNO GIRLS INN DOES! Never Been More So Since the Days of Louis XVI, Says Social Worker. CLEVELAND, OHIO. June 17.—That the dress of our young girls has never been less modest since the days of Louis XVI was the startling charge made by Miss Beulah E. Kennard in an address before the National Confer ence of Charities and Correction hera this morning. "Young girls were once sheltered and restrained by family life,” said Miss Kennard. "They had violent emotions, but no expression for them except in harmless forms of poetry or music or the explosive form of hysteria. The present freedom of girls from parental control and authority makes self-control and inner restraint neces sary to their safety. They are sophis ticated to some extent, but far less than their confident manner would in dicate, and are too young to regulate their emotions. More Home Training Needed. “The continuance of the race and fta welfare, which is the main business of life, is being left in the hands of care less children without any preparation or guidance w hatever. The safeguard ing of our dance halls and places of amusement against the more obvious dangers is well, but not enough. Train ing must be given in the homes, devel oping moral earnestness; in the schools, giving safe channels for emotion through art and music, and social cen ters, by vigorous games, folk dancea and other emotional safety valves.” "The legitimate curiosity of the young In regard to the origin of life and the processes accompanying It can not be gratified by vague explanations based upon the mysterious and the su pernatural, " said Mr. Evangeline W. Young, of Boston, in discussing an ad dress by Dr. Ira S. Wile before the National Conference of Charities and Correction here this morning. Too Squeamish With Facta. "The first essential in the equipment of one who would instruct in matters of sex is a wholesome and unembar rassed state of mind toward 'it. Through an unfortunate heritage of superstitions and false traditions we have come to associate the very word Itself with all that is base and unwor thy.' but that which has fallen sb low must be exalted, and this great funda mental law of nature must be given the status of dignity and beauty which it deserves. The second requisite for the successful teacher of sex facts is a comprehensive knowledge of biology, No rational study of sex can be made which neglects a consideration of the manifestations'of sex in forms of life lower in the scale than the human." YouNGJW Mothers^ 1 No young woman, In the joy of coming motherhood, should neglect to prepare her system for the physi cal ordeal she is to undergo. The health of both herself and the coming child depends largely upon the care she bestows upon herself during the waiting months.
