British Scientist Claims to Make Men
Young by Electricity.

Dublin.-Sir James Grant highly In
terested the learned members of the
British association with description
of his 'youth-giving machine as 1t
is called unscientifically. Sir James
calls the instrument ''neurostone,"
Dry cells supply electricity to the
''neurostone," which acts directly on
inactive nervous centers, or those
which are poisoned in effect by nox-
ious gases formed in the system as a
person grows older. Electricity, as
Sir James Grant applies it, cleans out
and stimulates these nerve centers,
gives new vigor to them and so great
ly lengthenes the span of life.
Sir James told the scientists that
by using the "neurostone" he himself
had been enabled to give up eye
glasses, which he had used for years,
and that 1t has made him generally
more active and younger.

DEER FOR MARKETS
REPORT ON POSSIBLE PROFIT IN
RAISING ANIMAL.
When State Game Laws Are Amended
Production Of Venlson May BE
Widely Adopted on Va
cant Lands.

Washington.-It is quite probable
that some day, not far distant, deer
meat will become as common and as
cheap in our market as mutton.
Such is the belief of ID. T.. Lantz of
the United States biological survey,
who. in an exhaustive report issued
by the department of agriculture, dis
cusses the economic possibilities of
raising deer and elk from purely
business proposition OF profit.
Mr.. Lantz even suggests that legis-
1ation be enacted which will make this
possible, and in his report upon the
matter he tells how 1t is possible to
domesticate deer for the market.
To the average American the report
of Mr.. Lantz will come as a surprise,
for in nearly every section of the coun-
try deer are protected as zealously as
the robin. Aside from stating that the
public would profit by being able to
buy the nutritious meat, Mr.. Lantz
adds that 250,000,000 acres OF land in
this country, which at present is
worthless, could be utilized as deer
reservations.
According to the report, the chief
obstacle to profitable propagation Of
deer in this country is the restrictive
character of state laws governing the
killing. sale and transportation OF
game. Many state legislatures have
already modified the game laws, and
In this way, as result, the deer and
elk industry has been started in few
states with considerable success.
Arkansas, Minnesota, Missouri and
North Carolina have so modified their
game laws that deer can be raised for
the market under certain restrictions.
Many other states only permit deer
TO be sold to owners of reservations.
Mr.. Lantz states that safeguards
against the destruction OF wild deer in
place of domesticated deer are not
d.aioult TO enforce, and suggests a sys'

The real issue in this campaign.
as III every campaign. Is money, and
two horrible facts confronting the
mana gers are that the Republicans
have 10 money and the Democrats
have no money. The further horrible
fact is that neither side, 70 hear them
tell il. can get any money. While the
candidates of the two big parties are
letting go views. near-viewS and re-
views. while the local situations in
every state are being embroidered
with stories of wide-open splits and
close-together alliances. while Col
onel Bryan is blowing with his Major
Minna Mascot mule. while Taft is
making the backbone of every horse
he rides look like the hollow in a
gourd. while Chairman Hitchcock
is fitting hither and Won. and Chair
man Mack is glued 10 the long-dis-
lance telephone connecting with Lin
coin. Neh. the treaSurers and the
finance committees are sitting in
their offices and gazing gloomily at
few scattering two-dollar bills.
There is. OF course. some truth in
this. Money is helpful in political
campaigns and the practical men
about headquarters want money.
This point of difference in the cam
paign methods of the two parties APP
pears. however The Republicans
probably have just as little money or
less than the Democrats, but they
are going ON with what they have
without complaint. confident in the
belief that they have behind them the
voters something much more inn
portant than money
On the other hand the Bryan Demo-

bur the position OF the Republicans Is
much more dignided.
This campaign is going to be won
by other things than money. Il is
admitted that Mr. Taft cannot get
money on Wall street. but he does
not want money from Wall street.
The outlook is that both parties will
make an economical. clean campaign
