SCIENTISTS DIFFER IN VIEWS
Or. Minct Of Harvard Medical School
Takes Issue with Prot.
Metchnikoff.

Metchnikoff ascribes old age to In
Jury from the bacterial poisons devef
oped as a result of lamentations oc-
curing in the large intestine, and pro-
ducing their effect by weakening the
various cells and tissues, which then
become a prey to the s~cavenging cells
of the body, the p~hagocytes. DR..
Charles S. Minot of the Harvard medi-
cal school, in a recently published
work on Age, Growth and Death"
combats the view that old age is .
kind of disease, and regards it as q
necessary consequence of the changes
in the cells of the body, which are In
evitably progressive from birth to
death; this succession of cellular
changes is termed "cytomorphosis."
He surmises that in the future it may
be possible to increase the activity
of nuclei and prolong the younger sys-
tenn of organization. Death he re-
CARDS as acquired during the process
of evolution in consequence OF cyto-
morphosis. As organization becomes
higher and higher, the need for diff
~ferentiation becomes greater; this in.
wolves the end land death is the price
we have to pay for the differentiation
which exists in us, and to which we
owe our great array of faculties!

GOT AWAY WITH HIS LIFE
ord Run, Though Really There
Was No Need of II.

Here is a baseball story which Al
bert T. Reid, the artist, tells on him
self in his newspaper, the Leaven-
worth Post:
Il was pitching for Abilene against
Concordia and a big, raw-boned cuss
came to the bat. / hit him on the
arm. He didn't waste a second on
his reply. In words that burned the
grass off the diamond he told me il I
did that again he would crack nay
cocoanut, and l knew that he was
quite sincere.
Il prepared to throw the next one
about a rod outside the plate, but you
know how a scared man will some
times do just what he is trying not to
do. / hit him on the arm again, as
though l had practiced throwing at it
for a month.
"He and / started at the same in
stant-he for me and l for the back
fence. / hit the top board OF the fly
and was just bouncing on over when
l caught myself for a look back. A
little runt who played shortstop had
given the big cuss a low tackle and
downed him and was sitting on his
head and making him eat dirt.
Several of them got around me
and Gained me down and led me back
into the game.'-Kansas City Journal.

New Exnerlence for Prince.

Whats tibet good of being a royal
tyr asks a correspondent from Inns
bruck in a Vienna paper, "if a. wait
ress can order you out of the house?
This happened to Albert, crown prince
of Belgium, a few days ago. On his
automobile trip through the Tyrol he
had a breakdown at a point where
no mechanical help could be obtained.
He walked in the driving rain several
miles to TRENT, and on reaching the
place went to a hotel and entered the
dining-room, for he was. hungry, as
well as thoroughly drenched. The
waitress, not knowing him, ordered
the guest out of the room with the
information that only such men could
dine there who wore salon dress
evening clothes. The prince walked
away and took refuge in the railway
station dining-room, where no n OBJ

In Memoriam.

On Sunday morning Dec. 5,the
gentle spirit of little jamie, in
FAINT daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. T. Garrett, wendell it's way
back to the Father there to live
safe in the arms of Jesus"
Not quite three months had
this little life frightened the
home, but around it was cluster
ed the brightest anticipation of
it's parents whose dreams for the
future were filled with sunshine
and happiness.
How shocked and sad was the
whole community to learn Of the
death of this little baby. after an
illness of only a few days. But
the Master had need of her in
making up-His jewels as He took
her to His house of many man
sions.
Dear parents, brother, sister
and aged grandfather grieve not
for, for in the great beyond at
Jesus's feet stands grandmother
with outstretched arms to greet
this tender bud and there to live
together with God and the
angels.
A soul was born in the world one day
A little while and it went it's way,
But the JOY it brought and the love it
taught
Is left behind to live always.

Time Not Ripe for Constitutional
Prohibition.

jackson. Miss. State Sena-
tor George ]. Leftwich of Aber-
deem and State Senator w. D.
Anderson of Tupelo, who are at
the capitol today on legal bust
ness, express doubts as to the
advisability Of launching a fight
for constitutional prohibition at
the approaching legislative ses-
sion.
The views of these two men,
bers are of exceptional import
ance and far-reaching signifi-
canoe. in view of the fact that
both are on the committee on
constitution and Senator Ander-
son is chairman of the judiciary
committee. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er two other members of either
house could be selected who
WELD a greater influence over
the general trend of legislation.
Messrs. Leftwich and Ander-
son are both staunch supporters
of the statutory prohibition bill
enacted at the 1908 session, and
the statutory measure was re-
fered to their respective COM
mittees before it was presented
for passing in the senate.
81 will not undertake to ven
ture a prediction of what the leg
islature will do" said Senator
Leftwich this morning, "but the
result Of the recent fight for the
constitutional prohibition in
Alabama carries a lesson. We
are getting along very well ur-
der the present statutory prohi-
bition law, and | hope nothing
will occur to give a backset to
the prohibition movement in this
state. 1t would be folly to at
tempt a constitutional enactment
until the people are ready for it,
and we must not get away from
the fact that, after all, public
sentiment is the law. and stat
utes and constitutions are worth
less unless they are backed by
public Sentiment"
Messrs. Leftwich and Ander-
son both express the hope that
the January session will be a
short one, devoted primarily to
revenue and appropriation meas.
ures, and such other topics as
may imperatively demand consid'
