The state law is similar to an order

GRIP ON LONG LIFE
BRINK SOUR MILK is ADVICE OF
THE NEW LEAGUE.
'cvctcs of Professor Metchnikoft'
Theories Have Organized to Put
Death Out of Commissions; Diet
Which Will Have Them Live for
Years Kills Germs and Microbes;
Benefit to Be Conferred on Man.
Especial to The Free Prcss.l

London, March 3O.-Thc league for
Long Living was formally launched
Oh Il sea of sour milk today by sew
eral hundred enthusiasts who are de-
voices Of Professor Metclmikofl' 5
theories. The first article in the plat
form of the new organizations is Drink
sour milk and the last is Drink sour
milk"
1t is alleged by Dr. Alderman, the
head Of the league that sour milk in
one for OF another has been an ar
ticlc of diet of number of rations
for centuries, and il was Il study of
the custom rs it prevailed in some of
the states of Southeast Europe which
tir-. led Professor M,tchnikctl, til
famous savaDt, to make the expert
ments OH which the treatment is now
based.
Where Used Extensively.
In Bulgaria and Roumania the use of
this form of soured milk has been cX-
tensive. among the poor people in par
ticular, for many years. The fact is
well known to travellers. The obsci-
want visitor seldom fails also to note
the large proportion of healthy old
people to be seen in these parts. Bull
garia. with Il population of about three
millions, has more than three thou
sand ccntcnarians.
What Professor Mctchnikolr set
himself to find out was the particular
action which the Bul garian and Rou-
nrinian soured milk bacilli exercised,
and he succeeded. With Il good di-
sestion there is always certain
amount of food which one eats which
decomposes, and the process leads to
the absorption i'll the system of poi
SONS. The process with bad diges-
ton is naturally accelerated. 1t is
the cause of many of the ills to which
the human flesh is heir. and it is Il
direct factor in determining the extent
of human life in individual cases.
Benefits of Soured Milk
Anything which will retard the pro-
cess obviously VIII confer a benefit
Oh Hidhhihu III HldHy ways. IL Is
claimed that the soured milk baciIi
which Professor NIctclnikoh recon-
mends do have that effect because
they arrest the disease germs which
cause the mischief before they get TO
the tissues, thereby insur;ng IA heal
thy blood circulation.
Professor AIetclnkoH is misreprc-
scented when he is quoted as saying
that everybody might become Il cen
tonarian by adopting the treatment,
but he is certainly convinced that life,
i'll the ordinary course, would not only
be prolonged, but would be made more
agreeable while it lasts if his dis
coveries are properly applied.

RICHES FOR THE FARMER
HOW HE GAINED BY THE ADVANCE
IN PRIZES.
How Business Is Conducted in the
Stock Yards at Chicago; Cattle
Receipts Falling Off.
Especial to The Free Press.l


Chicago, March 30.-Thc American
farmer who shipped his livestock tc
Chicago received $S,O74.000 more for
jl499I fewer head of cattle, hogs aud
sheep i'll 1909 taan in the year previous
according TO the Official figures given
out by the Chicago Union Stock Yards
company. Live cattle, hogs and sheep
to the number of l4,49l.312 were sold
by the commission men TO various
packers and dealers for $3lG754 900
The increase in money to the farmer
amounted to .026 per cent, for .00G
per cent less stock. The farmer re-
ceived an average of $3.50 per head for
all kinds of stock in 1909 and only
$l9lS per head in the preceding twelve
months, his general average price in
1909 being nearly y per cent greater
than in 1908.
Disposing of the Cattle.
In dsposing of his cattle through
the stock yards the farmer Jared very
well, selling them for an average of
$5G.54 per head in 1862 as compared
with $54.02 in 1908, an increase of
1922, per head. The 2929,905 head
of cattle received in 1909 OF which only
,662,l 1875 were consumed iii Chicago,
brought the cattle grower total of
%lG5. 900; he received only SIGH
100000 for 3,0}9,2GG head in the year
no l,n L. In,
commission men aud the little and
big packers have not shared in THESE
increases. The stock yards. which IS
entirely independent OF all the packing
concerns, receives its revenues from
''yardage" being Il charge for receiving
the livestock based upon the number
and not the vaule. and the commission
men, or sellers, are paid so much per
head, whether it sells for fifty per cent
more or fifty per cent less than in the
preceding year.
Methods of Operation
The Union Stock Yards were ncor-
poratcd in 1865 and the charter fixes
in a general manner the method OF
operation, providing for Il forfeiture in
case of collision between officials of
the yards" and any of the buyers or
sellers. Cattle receipts have fallen
steadily from 3,4l0000 head in 1905
of hogs from 7,725,O0O in 1905 to
6,6l9,0O0 in 1909, of sheep from 1906
900 i'll 1905 to 4.44l,G00 in 1909,
One fourth of the live stock received
at the yards" is shipped to other
points, there being 325 buyers at the
exchange representing packing concerns,
feeders etc, i'll all parts of the country
and world.
