eERMLEss AGE is COMING
Or. Newell Dwight Hills Declares He
Sees the End Of Disease With
In a Century.

Basing his prediction on the
achievements of medical science in
the past, DR.. Newell Dwight Hills
declares that another century will
see the physician victor over every
disease germ in existence. The
progress of medical science in the
last two centuries, he said recently,
has already given 10 the average in
dividual born into the world RI adj
ditional years of life and there is
reason to hope that barring acct
dents, most men viii soon live one

To illustrate the progress that has
been made, DR.. Hills pointed out
that every third person who wit

An Attentive Class,

The College of France, founded in
Paris by Francis l., offers at the pres
ent day not only strictly academic in
struction. but opportunities for the
higher education In general. The fol-
lowing anecdote, from The Colour Of
Paris, shows how far the college car
ries Its scrupulousness. Every sci
entific subject, even the most abb
struse, will continue to be taught
there as long as one solitary individ-
ual in all Europe desires to pursue 1t.
Certain courses are followed by two
or three persons only. They tell the
story OF a professor Of mathematics.
This professor. who was extremely alb
sent-minded, had lectured for q whole
year to only one pupil.
He was perfectly satisfied that Il
should be 80. but II occurred to him
one day that he ought to congratulate
his rare disciple. and he accordingly
did 80.

Simplicity Of Speech.

Whether or not the traveller Is risi&

enough for a mans practical needs
his theory of an abridged vocabulary
for everyday use is In line with the
tendency of speech In this country,
We are simplifying the language to
the extent of preferring the simpler
forms of expression. both in our wri-

our speech and improving our diction.
The master of simple English, who
can write or speak in terms of the
most commonplace language, is the
most effective. Even eloquence may
be well defined as simplicity.

language work for you. The master
of English does the latter.

FOR NEW ERA IN HOME LIFE
kIno's College for Women in London
VIII Give Girls Training fer
Domestic Science.

A new era in home life is inaugu-
rated by the formation of national
scheme for the endowment of home
science in connection with Kings
College for Women university of
London). Altogether, one-half mil
lion dollars is required, and of that
one-quarter million dollars has al
ready been subscribed privately.
"By insuring that in future every
girls education shall include some
knowledge of the science which af-
fects her home problems and some
practice of the domestic arts, the
whole standard of home life would
be raised" point out the promoters.
Therefore Kings College for
Women has opened its doors to spe-
cial courses for training women in
the study of the science of the house
hold. 1t is hoped in that way to in
sure for the schools a continual sup
ply of teachers qualified to give girls
the necessary instruction, and by
that means to mitigate the present
gigantic yearly waste in infant life
and loss to the nation by prevent

BERLIN BANK is FOR WOMEN
Managers, Clerks and Depositors In
Thls Institution Arc Al! Of the
Gentler Sex.

Berlin has a bank exclusively for
women. 1t is managed by women,
with women clerks. 1t receives only
women depositors and it lends mon
ey only to women. 1t has been rum
ming for less than year, but has
made such profits that it has encour-
aged the founders, and the prospects
are that the scope of the business
will be increased greatly within the
next year. Az wars and emigrations
have caused a surplus of women in
Germany, the bank has an unusually
good field. Many women have small
businesses. They often need bank
accommodation and they have found
the women's bank serves them more
quickly and mere cheaply than bank
ing institutions run by men. Anna
Hoffman is the manager of the
bank. 81 never knew" she said,
"until we launched this bank, how
suspicious of women's reliability and
integrity women themselves are.
Half Of the women who hesitate to
come to our support say they don't
trust a woman. We have done a
good work and we have rescued
many tradeswomen from usurers."

doubled back through the dark and

something about smashing the auto

which John paid no attention.
AS he lifted her down at the lar-

nushed her up the steps to where
the parson was waiting for them.
Kittie, essaylng to unite her veil
with trembling fingers, glanced to-
ward John who stood. hat in hand,
speaking to the clergyman. She
made a rush and took refuge behind
his reverence.
