be taken not to make the lining too

well to reinforce the corners by past

When the box is entirely covered
tabs of the material used should be
made for each box. The tabs are
about two inches long and one wide.
For this purpose the material is used
double and overseamed all around.
One end of the tab or flap is then
overseamed to what is to be the front
of the box on the front bottom edge
and about three inches from the end
of the box. Two of these flaps are
sewed on each box in order that it
may be pulled out from the frames
easily. They fill the position of the

viz: the increased of the individual by
himself. 1t will easily be understood that when

is certain The is true with regard to the
deporably high figures in infant mortality mainly
due to the ignorance of mothers.
The real ultimate question of longevity, with
the individual and with the community is the
question of the lives which the people lead 1t is
for scientific men to tell the people how to live, and
for the people to follow their directions
This article may therefore be read as a general
address upon the subject in which the few and simple
rules upon which long life depends set forth in
outline. The of old age should begin in youth
1t is for the loving and thoughtful parent to i'm
press it daily and repeatedly upon careless and
thoughtess youth. Once establish this custom
nationally, and much will be accomplished The
rules of long life are, then:
/. PROPER EATING-This is the first the most
important, of all hygienc rules, just as improper
eating is the most widespread cause of disease and
premature old age. Probably all of us eat too
much, and many eat many times too much the
members of Beefsteak Clubs being not the only
offenders. That locomotive will not work with

the excess A tremendous waste of vital energy
occurs with all large eaters, simply in the body's
getting rid of the excess This excess poisons u.s.
Food which is not assimilated because it is not
needed decays and becomes poisonous. The body
does its best to these poisons, and tires
the out by its efforts. When it cannot over
come them, these toxic elements store unhealthy
deposits in the walls of the arteries. Sooner
later they set up disease: in all cases they harden
and destroy the usefulness of the arterial coats
upon whose normal condition health and long life
depend

AS to Professor Metchnikoffs second principle
his claim that at certain period of advancing age
one division OF the phagocytes become traitors to
their natural duty, turn upon, feed upon and rend
the tissues which they have protected-physicians
Will believe this when they see it proved and not
before. And should it prove to be true, it is
change in the bodily functions which can never be
arrested by the injection of serum The advance
of age is too general and too complex phenomenon
to be arrested by the injection of any what
ever Professor Metchnikof may have discovered or
may at present believe.
None the less, there is cure for old age, an ex-
cellent and thorough cure. There is nothing SEN
sational about it, and it makes large demand upon
the patience and moderation of the patient. But
it is rational wel-founded and certain and perhaps
the best that doctors can find under existing
circumstances. 1t deals directly with the causes
of premature decline, and while it may not enable
every man to live to Buttons seven score years or
Methuselah's nine centuries, it will gain for us
Natures extreme indulgence in the matter of years.
Nature is Queen over all, and to learn and obey
her mandates is to obtain for each and all of us the
best that lies in her power to give. 1t consists
mainly in taking as good care of Our human machine
as we do for instance, of fifteen thousand

Splratlon to scientific enthusiasm.
One of the divine Commandments given to
Moses told to 'honor thy father and thy
mother, that thy days may be long in the land"
King Solomon and the prophet Daniel conducted
an interesting series of experiments in dietetics
and longevity. Ponce de Leon came all the way
from Spain to Key West to find the Fountain of
Eternal Youth, and Browne-Sequard gave us that
goat lymph which was to transform patriarchs
into frisky youths and matrons into merry maids
while they waited. All the world is waiting
Old age is the destiny of all of u.s. and it is interest
ing therefore to inquire how far Professor Metch-
nikoffs method is in accord with accepted
principles and established facts. What then,
physically speaking is old age?
Any physician will answer that man is as old
his arteries. The condition of the arteries is the
direct measure of any mans age, the rule by which
the period which his life will continue can best
be predicted. Upon this hardening of the arterial
coats, which is the inevitable and nvariable accom-
paniment of increasing years. all the functions of the
body depend. When the arteries cease to be
elastic when they longer respond to stimulus
or sudden demand, and automatically increase or
diminish the flow of blood to any given organ the
capacity of the body to ward off congestion dis
ease is greatly impaired, and death supervenes
sooner later according to circumstances. The
bones become calcinareous and less albu-
minous, and all the other familiar phenomena of age
appear; but the beginning and cause of these
phenomena appear to lie in the arteries
Any specific, therefore, which is destined to
greatly prolong lives should it would seern in
someway meet and counteract this arteria tendency;
but this does not appear to be Professor Metch-
nikoff's method. He is relying upon the phagocytes,
those wonderful little microscopic warriors which
constitute the white corpuscles of the blood whose
function it is to repair all injuries, envelop and
absorb all microbes or other injurious matter which
may endanger the bodily economy In SO far as his
plan consists in stimulating the action of these
phagocytes and largely increasing their formation
it cannot be regarded Whenever we in
troduce any anttoxin into the blood the phagocytes
increase enormously in number and greatly in activ-
ity massing to meet and overcome this new enemy.
This indeed is the whole principle of antitoxin
treatment.
At its best, however it is a stimulant, and
stimulant is always used at great expense to the
bodily strength, particularly in age since the
action is perhaps thirty per cent greater than the
stimulation. Stimulation, in other words, whether
by the Metchnikoff method any other method,
