REMOVING LARGE INTESTINE
MAY WARD OFF OLD AGE
Especial to The Sentinel. l

London. July 27.-As the result of
Investigations which he has been
pursuing al St Mary's hospital during
the past month. DR.. Distaso of Paris
is convinced that Metchnikoff's plan
for warding off old age by removing
the large intestine is soundly based
Metchnikoff's idea was that the large
intestine was the breeding place of
most of the harmful germs. and that
with person whose large intestine
had been removed by an operation il
would be found that the beneficial
germs remaining would greatly out
number the harmful ones and have
the effect of staving off old age.
DR.. Distaso has been comparing the
germs found in a number of patients
whose large intestines had been re-
moved with those found in normal
individuals, and so convinced is he
that Metchnikoff's theory is fully
proved that he expressed the follow
ing opinion yesterday:
Every child should have the large
intestine and the appendix removed
when ii is 2 or years old"
In the patients experimental upon.
who in every instance have enjoyed
greatly improved health during the
year or more which has elapsed since
their operation, a number of new
germs have been discovered These
are thought to be harmless germs.
whose action, If there is any. is bene-
ficial to the system.
DR.. Distaso, who returns to Paris
tomorrow, takes with him for further
study at the Pasteur institute two
persons who are excellent examples of
the benefit to health resulting from
the remoTal of the lower intestine
Practically bedriddcn before the op-
Grafton about four years ago. these
two patients are now in robust health
During their first months stay in
Paris all expenses are to be paid by
the Pasteur institute.
DR.. Distaso said: My experiments
have proved we would all of us be
better off without the lower intes-
tine. which is nothing more or less
than an ideal breeding place for dis
ease germs. Almost every chronic
disease may be traced back TO the
action of these two germs-chronic
heart disease arteric sclerosis and
most kinds of headaches being ex-
amples."

New York. July 27.-New York
physicians yesterday were inclined to
doubt the theories of DR.. Distaso. who
has been experimenting in a London
hospital As result he indorses
Professor Metchnikoff's theory re-
garding the large intestine, and adds
that every child ought TO have its
large intestine and appendix removed
when or 3 years old.
There is no doubt" said Dr. Sam
uel Lloyd, surgeon of St Francis
and Postgraduate hospitals. that
Metchnikoff is right in his theory
that the large intestine is a breeding
place for germs, which injure the
health and shorten life. but Dr. Dis
taso's theory that all children should
have their intestines removed goes
step farther. Ii is a dangerous idea,
which Metchnikoff himself has never
promulgated
1t is an operation attended with

building is due, was presented with a
pair of enlarged photographs of her
late husband amt herself, which were
hung on the wall of the reception room,
in which she and he lady trustees re-

UNION CITY, Tennessee, December
22-When Mrs. Anna Jackson, one or
the States witnesses, this afternoon
in the nightriders' trial, was excused
from the stand, she turned to Judge
Jones and said: 81 will not leave the
courtroom without armed protection.
know these men,
Mrs. Jackson told a vivid story or
several visits of the riders, CORRIDOR
ating Fred Fehringer's testimony in
many details, as did other witnesses,
and identified by name at least TWEEN
| ty-seven members of the band.
The last witness of the day was Will
Russell, another alleged nightrider,
who has turned states evidence. Rus
sell came to Union City, after the
Rankin killing, and made a confess
sion. He was trembling with fear and
could hardly raise his voice above a
whisper
Russell is under constant guard but
believes that he will be killed in spite
of these precautions.
When court opened the prisoners
were brought in handcuffed in pairs,
with a detail of two soldiers for each
pair. The soldiers with rifles halted
at the courtroom door and other SOL
diers armed with revolvers met the
prisoners at the threshold and escorted
them to the bar.
Judge Shaw was the first witness OF
the day. He was the proprietor of a
store near Reelfoot lake. The riders
forced him to give them oil to pour on
the fish docks when they were burned
and later whipped him when he tried
to go before the grand jury.
Shaw said the nightriders wore mo-
Their hubbards and black masks and
tried to disguise themselves by talk
ing in false tones. When Shaw was
summoned before the grand jury, he
tried to slip into town at night. The
riders caught him and threatened to
kill him. Finally they gave him his
choice of a switching or hanging. He
told them he was not anxious to en-
dure either. but If he had to make a
choice he would prefer the whipping.
He got it.

PLANNING FOR
GIANT WAR SHIP

WASHINGTON, December 19.-The
Navy Department is considering the
desirability of constructing monster
battleships bigger than anything yet
built or even designed elsewhere. One
plan presented by the Naval Board on
Construction calls for eight fourteen
inch guns and displacement of 3 900
tons. In the fourteen-inch gun ship,
the thickness of the turret, side and
barbette armor will be greater than
in the twelve-inch gun ship, giving
better protection than the latter will
enjoy. Two designs have been pre-
pared for fourteen-inch gun ship.
There have long been serious differ
ences among naval experts regarding
the advisability of using bigger guns
than twelve-inch, on account of the
probability that the discharge of big
ger guns would seriously rock the
ship. Moreover, 1t is known that I'M
der some conditions the eight-inch
guns, for instance, are more effective
than ten-inch. The Navy Department
is pretty well committed to the all
big-gun-ship plan, and Congress may
consider it favorably when the mat
ter is properly presented. The speed
Of the new ships is intended to be
from 20 Ia to 20 1-2 knots under trial
conditions.

BURTON IS FOUND
 LYING UNCONSCIOUS
MAN AT AVONDALE SAYS HE FELT BLOW ON BACK OF HEAD AND REMEMBERS NOTHING REWARD.
FIRST AND TWENTIETH, BIRMINeHAM.

H. c. Burton of South Avondale was found in an unconscious condition with a bruised spot on his head, near the Avondale cotton mills. He was carried into the home of D. F. Eatman, which was close by, and shortly afterward re- gained consciousness, and beyond a severe headache did not appear to feel any other effects from the bruise.
 Burton stated that he heard someone running behind him and turning saw man coming directly toward him with a stick in his hand. He thought nothing of this, however, thinking the man was run ming for car, and turned his head around again. As he turned he felt a stinging blow, saw stars and knew noth- ing more until he regained conscious ness.
 He stated that he supposed the man hit him with the stick, though he does not know for what reason. No attempt appears to have been made to rob him.
 Burton returned to his home in buggy and the matter has been reported to the authorities. Burton was unable to give an accurate description of the man, other than he was tall, dressed in dark suit and blue shirt.
