ages that had been attained by the construction of a railroad and gov ernment trails and roads.
 John Y. Ostrander expressed the qualification that the people of Alas ka felt because of the coming of the Railroad Commission. He believed that their advent spelled development and that upon their recommendation would be inaugurated a new policy that would be a complete reversal of the Pinchot iniquity that has stified development, discouraged the coming of capital, and impoverished the peo- pie who have been laboring in this northland under conditions that have required great fortitude to bear.
 Falcon Joslin, who has been bat tling for the opening of the coal of Alaska and the extension of trans portation lines, for several years past, indicated by his forceful, sincere manner that the subject is one that is now almost part of himself. Possibly he, more than any other one man in Alaska knows of more reasons why the riches of this coun- try require railroads in order to main tain in Alaska the millions who are eventually to build the large towns and cities. He recited facts, from a close study of the resources of Alaska and the development of other less favored localities, to prove that in the course of few years Alaska will of necessity have several thousand miles of railroads. He believed that two trunk lines should at once be au- thorized by Congress. One to start from Cordova, tap the Matanuska and Boring. coal fields, and to extend on into the fertile valleys and mineral lands of the Panama and Yukon watersheds. The other to start from Seward and to tap the mineral and agricultural section of the Susitna country, and to extend on to the Kuskukwim river. Both these trunk lines would be les than one thousand miles and he belived that they could be built on an average ofS40,000 per mile, or $4O,00O,000 for all Bonds could be issued by the government at 8 per cent interest, and he believed that both principal and interest could be returned in the course of thirty years. And such an expenditure, he predicted, would be the means of establishing an empire in this rich northland that would redown to the credit of the United States and prove of much greater commercial value than will the costly construction of the Panama canal.
 Prior to the meeting and before adjournment, the orchestra rendered several splendid selections.

A Bulgarian scientist, DR.. Tranjen,
is working on different lines. Certain
diseases are treated nowadays by in
iecting into the blood of the sufferer
a substance obtained from the blood
of an animal which has succeeded in
shaking off that disease. The reason
is that this blood must have develop
ed a sort of antidote Tan anti-toxin)
that has killed the diseases poison
Cor toxin).
So DR.. Tranjen proposes to put
into the blood of young people
preparation obtained from the It's
sues of old people. The blood OF
healthy young people should shake
the poison off. If the mysterious
anti-toxin formed by the young blood
in order to do this could be found
the secret would be solved.
Another school of scientists relies
on radium and similar rays. 1t has
been found that if radium rays shine
on the larvae (the young) of meal
worms it delays their growth and
decay. A meal worm under radium
outlives several generations not un-
der radium. If some similar treat
ment could be successfully applied
to man a human being would be still
a child at 80 and have a comfortable
middle age over 80 years.

'LENGTHEN LIFE 200 YEARS
EXPERIMENTS TO MAKE OLD
AGE TODAY MERE BOYHOOD.
Scientists Will Kill the MicrObe That
Causes the Decay Which Is
Called Old Age.


Within the last three centuries the
average length of life has risen in
civilized countries from under 30 to
over A. Roughly speaking, every
body lives nowadays half as long
again as if they had existed some
centuries ago. Why, a great many
scientists are asking, should this pro-
cess not be hurried on? says An
swers.
The great improvement during the
last few centuries has been due to
the lettering of sanitary conditions
and to the advance of medical sci
ence generally. But many inyestl-
gators are trying to find something
more speedy.
The great authority on this sub
iect is the famous Prof. Metchnikotf,
who declares that there is no reason
why the average length of life should
not be nearer 200 years than one.
His theory, and it is generally ac-
cepted, is that the general decay
which is called old age is due to the
gradual collection of microbes on the
large intestine. They collect on this
tube owing to the putrefying of par
ticles of food, and spread their pols-
Oh gradually till they cause general
decay.
Experiments have shown that veg
etabies rich in sugar, such as dates
beetroot, carrots, ETC., produce none
of these poisonous microbes. HIS
idea. therefore, is to form a sugar
producing center in the important
tube. But as sugar consumed in the
ordinary way all gets absorbed be-
fore reaching the spot he has decided
to form it by means of a microbe.
If this microbe can be firmly es-
tablished in the human body the
problem of adding a century or so
to the average life is solved. Lectur-
ing before a learned body in Paris
a short time ago he announced that
after experimenting on human beings
with this microbe, which he had OBJ
tanned from the intestines of dog,
he found that the poisons which In
time bring on old age had ceased to
fol- m
Another "cure" for old age can be
bought over a chemists counter, dis
guised in the pleasant form of choc-
olates. 1t is based on the same great
scientists discovery that Tactic acid,
such as is produced by sour milk,
prevents the poisonous microbes col
lecting. 1t has been noticed that
those races which live largely on milk
are very long-lived. There are rea-
sons for believing that some of the
Arabs of the Sahara, who live chleny
on sour camel's milk, reach the age
of 200 and upward. And the inhab-
itants of Bulgaria, where eentenarl-
ans are nearly as common as slx-foot
men. live largely on preparation
of sour milk known as yahourth.
It IS the bacillus of 'yahourth' that
M. Massoi, the French scientist, has
incorporated in the sweets known as
massoiettes.
What is known as Tactic cheese is
also on sale in England with the
same purpose. In the early part OF
fhe Bible sour milk is often men
toned in connection with the patri-

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
Endorsement Obtained Because of
Threatened Prosecution Not Valid.

That a fathers endorsement OF his
SONS note is not valid if the endorse
ment was obtained by threatened
prosecution of the son is a decision
of the court Of appeals. The case
came from Walker county and grew
of a warrant charging cheating and
9windling whinh the prosecutor
agreed TO withdraw if the father
would sign a joint note with the son
for the purchase price OF mule.
The note was signed, but payment
was refused on the ground that IT
was signged under duress. The legal
point appears to have been well TAX
en-. Efforts to appeal to the fathers
sympathy to collect debts OF a son
should not have legal approval.
