SOUR MILK DRINK CRAZE.
Gripping Britons in Hope OF Attain.
ing Old Age.

hondon Gable to Houston Post.)
The fashionable craze of the mo-
ment Is neither rinking nor aviation,
but the drinking of sour milk or the
munching OF specially prepared tab
loids charged with sour milk bacte-
ria. The craze began a little while
ago with the publication of Dr. Rein
hardt's book, "One Hundred and
Twenty Years of Life" in which he
detailed from Prof. Metchnikoff's
theory that sour milk prepared ac-
cording to the Bulgarian plan Is the
real elixir OF life. DR.. Metchnikoff,
the famous pathologist Of the Pasteur
Institute, of Paris, was much struck
when visiting Bulgaria to find that
IN many Of the country parts the pro-
portion of centinarians was greater
than anywhere else. He started to
investigate the cause, and came to
the conclusion that the long life of
the people was due to the fact that
they used sour milk in their daily
dietry. This milk, prepared by means
of a living culture of Tactic acid form
or bacilli, destroys putrefactive or
ganisms In the human stomach, so at
least Dr.. Metchinkoff maintained.
This theory, which has since been
supported by DR.. Osler, has caught on
amazingly.
Every chemist shop Is full Of sour
milk lcZenges and chocolates. Every
careful wife is urging her husband
to drink especially prepared Metchm-
koff milk that is sold by the leading
dairy companies at fabulous prices.
Cooks have fresh burden added to
their lives by being asked to prepare
sour milk at home, process taking
many hours and much careful regu-
lation of temperature Meanwhile,
the folks to whom an expenditure of
from 81 to So per week per head for
specially prepared sour milk Is i'm
possible, can obtain much the same
result by drinking the once-despised
buttermilk.

Married "Old Glory"
(Greenville NeWS.)

An amusing incident occurred in
the operating room at local hos
pital the other night when Thomas
Poole, who had, in row in the sub
urbs, been slashed three times across
the abdomen with carving knife,
was under the hands OF two physi-
clans. In the miXup In which Poole
had been involved, the other party to
the controversy having been found
dead In a nearby ditch. a bullet had
lodged somewhere in Poole's chest.
The physicians found 1t necessary to
remove certain portion Of the skin.
On this part Of Poole's body there
had been drawn by an old sea dog,
many years ago, a miniature Ameri-
can flag, in all its brilliant colors, the
work having been done aboard man
of-war when Poole was enlisted in
the navy. Poole refused to take an
anesthetic and appeared much inter-
ested In the operations. Presently
one of the physicians ran little
knife through Old Glory, marring the
picture forever. Poole made Il pass"
at him, but the doctor warded off the
blow. In his convalescence Poole
swears he will seek damages in the
courts, even If he finds it necessary
TO take his ease to Congress, and
haul up the doctor for desecrating the
American flag.

pointment Of Il district Judge has
been revived here by the introduction
Of such bill in the House Of Repre-

mors that several attorneys in differ

good side of Mr.. Taft

In the Western District the counties
OF Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, Green.
Vile, Spartanburg, Laurens, Able
vile, Green wood, Edgefield, Saluda,

The Eastern District will comprise
the other counties Of the State. In
addition to the appointment of ano-
ther Judge the President would also
have to appoint a district attorney
and marshal In the event OF the
measure becoming law.
BY the framing of this bill the
