people go through a period Of epidemic
Of pestilence unaffected. while others

the Professor found that the stronger
cells Of the body preyed upon the
weaker ones thereby causing an inhar-
monious action Of the organs. This
produces a gradual decline in the or
gans and faculties. what is called 'old
age" becomes manifest and death soon
follows. The Professor concluded that
if the weaker cells could be invigOrated
and strengthened, so as to repel the at
tacks Of the stronger cells or not to get
into condition to invite attack, that
harmony in the workings of the human
organs would be maintained and that
life and vigor would be greatly pro-
| longed. With this end in view be began
a series Of experiments by transpOsing

and he found that he could regulate the
number and the vitality of the different
kinds of cells that made up the blood
which in turn creates the body.
The serum which Prof. MetchinkOf
has evolved and will more perfectly
evolve, from his experiments and dis
coveries will be injected into the sys-
TENS OF human beings who begin to
show the effects Of the ravages Of time.
This serum will strengthen the failing
cells and the life and vigor Of the hui
man body will be renewed. To what
length these renewals can be carried,
and how long the functions Of the hui

question that the Professor does not

Professor Metschinlxoff and the Foun-
tain of Youth.
The scientific world is now interested
in the experiments and discoveries OF
Prof. Metschnikoff, the worlds great
est bacteriologist. The modest state
ments which he has given out lead tc
the belief that he is on the way to solve
the problem of prolonging human life
For ages physicians and philosophers
have commended that the age of man
should be greater than three score
years and ten. According to the law
Of Floureus, warm blood animals live
just five times the period necessary for
their long bones to complete ossifca-
ton. This period applied to man makes
his age limit 100 years. which is be-
leved to be correct. unless accident Oc-
ours to prevent it.
The statements and theories of Prof
Metschnikoff are not based on idle
dreams, hopes or prophecies. but upon
years Of careful experimenting which
has rendered discoveries that are ac-
cepted by the scientific world and has
placed the discOverer in the front rank
of scientists. He has proven that all
life forms are groupings of simple cells.
and that each class Of cells performs
distinct office. He discovered that
the office of certain of these cells was
to devour other cells that threatened

Wrong B I'd Hoped on the stage

One Of the well-knOwn magicians not
long ago had queer thing to happen,
but the people in the theater had more
fun out Of it than he did.
One of his tricks was to shake sack
to show that it was empty, and then to
draw out Of it an egg, after which he
would always reach in again and bring
out the hen that laid the egg. OF course,
he had to have help in this. and one
night he had a new man who did every
thing just as he had been told, until it
came to this act. Reaching into the
bag he drew forth the fowl at the usual
time. but instead Of the hen an old
rooster hoped down onto the stage.
