For three parts of the game the Barbs
played rings around their more fam

two goals by throwing the ball into

London, October 2S--A battle in a bot tie between two armies of microbes many millions strong S-S; witnessed at the re- cent Medical Exposition in Westminster. The spectacle consisted of the foaming up on some milk in a large glass bottle, which finally exploded, scattering the combatants weitering in creamy foam on the floor of the hall.

By way of experiment. an invading army of 100000 Massol bac- Hi, the microbes of tactic acid and sworn enemies of the typhoid germ, was sent against the typhoid colony, and instantly war ragged between them.
 The hungry Massols devoured their en- emies with voracity. When Massol be- came gorged he burst into million pieces each of which immediately became a new microbe and fell upon the enemy forth with.

 These ferocious Massol microbes are really the friends of man, and Professor Metchnikoff believes that they are real elixir of life. By rendering the internal organs antiseptic, they prolong a mans life to an extraordinary extent.
 In Bulgaria, where the inhabitants drink quantities of sour milk containing this bacillus, the number of centenarians is remarkable.
