The Weekes Company Fails.
(By the Associated Press.)

Macon. Ca. Nov. 1.-The Weekes Man
ufacturing Company, for several years
engaged in the making of mems gar
ments, was closed to-day under fore
closure proceedings. Effort is now maxi
ing for a settlement with creditors in
order that work may be resumed. Liza
bilities are about $4,000, only one-third
of which is mercantile debt scattered
over the country. The remainder is
local. No Macon bank is a creditor. 1t
is claimed that the assets equal the liza
bilities. The failure is due to strong
competition and lateness of the cotton
crop entailing slow collections. Seventy
FIVE hands are cut out of employment.

HELP TO PROLONG LIFE.
A Number of Diseases Which
Lengthens Ones DAYS.

1t appears, from the latest medical
discovery that several diseases pro-
long life instead of shorten it.
Rheumatic people, for instance,
rarely die. young. How this disease
wards off death is not known. 1t is
probable, however, that the blood ac-
quires some property which is fatal to
the germs of other diseases.
Govt is malady which also length
ems ones DAYS. Sometimes it goes to
the heart, and proves fatal. But if 1t
can be kept to the big toe the patient
may feel pretty confident that he will
live till his nineth birthday, or per-
haps his hundredth birthday. The
explanation of this fact, put forward
by medical scientist, is that the govt
frees the blood from poisonous matter.
Itappears that by banishing small
pOx we haze lost splendid life-pre
server. In census of aged people
taken many years ago it was found
that very large number were pock-
marked. This led doctor TO make
calculation which proved that there
were twice as many pock-marked peo-
pie over 80 years old than there would
have been unless the smallpox eXer-
cised preservative effect on life. He
accounted for this curious fact by con-
GLIDING that the smallpox microbe
frightened away all other microbes,
lust as cats frighten away mice from
house.
1t would scarcely be supposed that
bronchitis would add to ones days
Very often it shortens them considera-
bly,, but in other cases it has quite the
opposite effect A very large number
of the old people you meet cough all
the year round with chronic bronchit
tbs lYou would think when listening to
them that they must very quickly
cough themselves to death. That is
not so at all. The coughing helps the
heart to circulate the blood, and, in
fact, gives exercise to all the organs.
But for this daily exercises many old
peoples bodily mechanism would get
fatally clogged. Besides a man with
bronchitis is very careful of himself
He will not sit in the draughs, he will
avoid getting drenched, he will not be
out late at night and lose good part
of his sleep. And thus he more than
compensates for the injury done.
