SCIENCE AND LONGEVITY,

AS in war paraphernalia, wherein the
invention of a new engine of destruction
calls for new and correspondingly
formidable devices of resistance, SO in
the medical world the increased de-
mands upon the mental and physical
powers of man incident to and in con-
formity with the rapid progress of the
age, call for recuperating agencies IN
order that man may bear up under the
increasing strain SO that he may at least
reach the average expectancy of life.
The tendency of human life at this time
is and has been for several years toward
longevity, the results of scientific re-
search in matters of hygiene and correct
habits, but this natural tendency has
not been fully commensurate with the
exhaustive demands upon mans powers
of endurance, hence the necessity for
artificial reinforcement. 1t is claimed
that the Sequard-Brown discovery,
called the elixir of life, fully meets this
last requirement.; that with it
mental and physical vigor are re-
stored even after person has been
completely exhausted. If its recuperative
powers are what they are claimed to be,
a modicum of the elixer taken judicious
ly and at intervals, according to the
demands of circumstances, would pre-
vent decay and indefinitely postpone the
period of decrepit old age; mans strength
would be constantly renewed and, barr
ing accidents or other untoward cir
cumstances, his lease of life extended
almost if not quite without limit.
But, notwithstanding this change that
seems to be brought within the realm of
the possible as to frightening out the
period of human expectancy, and the
natural desire to live as long as possible,
there is no danger that Professor Edison
will be left without subjects upon which
to practice his new electro-mummifying
process; because, in the absence of sub
jects from the natural processes of ex-
tinction of our kind, granting unlimited
success to the elixir of life innovation,
there will be enough from suicide and
other unpreventable causes not within
the scope of the elongating method, to
supply the electric scientist with all the
experimenting material needed.

Forty-Two Stars

Lincoln Republican.
July f4th. according 10 orders from
the head of the navy department, our
flags bore forty-two stars.
1t has taken some years for IL 10 accu-
mulate that number but we are not done
with it yet. There are more to follow
In 1888, thirteen stars were all we could
afford, but in the second decade marked
by the year 1909 Kentucky, Vermont
and Tennessee had added three more
stars to the galaxy, dated respectively
1892, 1901 and 1896, as the time Of their
coming formally into the dignity OF
states. Ia 1910 there was but one new
say of national gloy, Ohio having been
admitted in 1902. In 1920, there were
SIX other sparklers in the blue field dated
thus: Louisiana. 1912: Indiana, 1915:
Mississippi. 1917; Illinois. 1918: Alabama,
1919; Name, 1920. In 1880 there
was the Missouri star, 1921. In
1870, there were two new
stars-Arkansas, 1896, and Michi-
gan. 1891. At the end Of the next de-
cade. 1850, there were thirty-one states.

SOURCES OF SATISFACTION.

The Kansas City, No., Times finds
enough in the local situation and sur
roundings to stimulate CHEEKY express
sion if not real inspiration. 1t declares
that the aggregate transactions in COM
merciai exchange and realty dealings for
the month of July are encouraging, de-
spite the percent of decrease in the former
for the latter half of the month as shown
by the weekly clearing house reports,
are satisfactory for the midsummer sea-
son. The Times then cites two or three
local enterprises and its general sur
roundings as most assuring auguries for
the future maintenance of It's supremacy
over rival trade centers. If Kansas City
can find anything in her present condi-
ton, taking the most favorable view the
Times can place it in, over which to re-
joice,-her loss of business, loss of freight
rate determinations in her favor, and
other adverse incidents and circum-
stances not necessary to mention-what
should be the feeling in Wichita. possess
ing, as she does, all the advantages that
Kansas City boasts of and none Of the
disadvantages that are weighing her
down.
Besides the healthful condition of her
every interest and the more than salts
factory condition of her trade, local and
general, natures cornucopia is filled and
filling to overflow with the richest and
most aff1uent abundance of everything
necessary to even satisfy the cupidity of
the most avaricious. In short, with
everything coming our way and nothing
worth mentioning working contrariwise,
Wichita has every reason to be jubilant,
even to hilarity, If the Sni Hill sitty can
find aught in her present and prospec-
tive situation over which to even make
show Of good humored satisfaction.
Wichita lacks but two interests, or rath
er needs, that her interests, which
now comprehend about everything need
full for the upbuilding and expansion of
her commercial and industrial being,
shall be extended in two directions, both
of which are now in hand preparatory
to such expansion, to give her complete
mastery Of the commercial situation in
the southwest without the fear of rivalry
from any quarter. She is prepared to
compare notes with the foremost in the

MAKING BRICK.

A we'll known citizen of st. Louis tells
the GlobeDemocrat that the brick max
ing business has been revolutionized DUR
ing the past four or five years. 1t now
requires the use of heavy and expensive
machinery by which the clay is mixed
and the brick nodded and pressed into
shape. Formerly but one size, kind and
quality of brick was made at kiln, but
now brick of various sizes, designs and
of different qualities are turned out by
the same establishment. Large sized
brick, stamped to represent carved work
are now being made by several establish
ments and at cost much less than that
of stone or terra Gotta, although some of
these large ornamental brick are sold at
81 apiece. There is no limit to the de-
sign or form of these ornamental brick,
as they can be made and stamped in any
design that is required or dictated by
fancy.
Our Wichita brick industries, there
fore, have a great field before them. not
only in the manufacture of brick for
paving and fire brick for manufacturing
purposes, but of ornamental brick of
various designs Brick is the most dur
able of all materials, when it is properly
made. Nearly all the great buildings of
ancient times, that have survived the
wear and tear of ages, were constructed
of brick

If the available cash in the treasury

The reduction of the original amount of
