The Gray Hair Microbe.

From the London News Paris Telegram
DR.. Metchnkoff, who Is an authority on
the microbe theory, claims to have discoy-
cred why our hair turns gray. The change
from red. auburn. brown, black or golden
is due, he says. to a bacillus that devours
the coloring pigment, and which he calls
the pigmetophagus. Like all infinitesimal
creatures, this microbe proliferates with
an activity approximating to perpetual mo-
ton, and 1t is voracious feeder. The
strong vital resistance Of youth keeps II
down; the low vitality arising from carking
care. grief. or moral shocks and sedentary
habits Is favorable to It, NJ Metchnikoff

cover how 1t may be destroyed.

Have you a little baby boy
few months more than two years old,
With soft brown eyes that brim with joy
And silken ringlets bathed In gold,
Who, toddling, follows you around
And plays beside you near the hearth;
Whose prattle is the sweetest sound
To you Of all glad notes Of earth?
Have you little baby boy
Who, when the voice Of slumber calls.
Reluctant leaves each tattered toy
And in your strong arms weary falls;
Who yawning, looks with sleepy eyes
Into your own and family smiles;
Then shuts his lids and quiet lies,
And drifts away to Dreamland's islesf
Have you a little one like this.
Who puts all troubling thoughts to fight
