''OLD AGE" GERMS
TO PROLONG
LIFE
SCIENTIST IN PARIS FINDS A
MEANS OF INCREASING
LENGTH or YEARS

Paris, July 16.-If you would 1--we
forever, make friends with the good
glyco-bactere. so says Dr. Ellie Metch-
nikoff, the Pasteur institute scientist,
who has been delving for many years
into the mysteries Of why men grow
old.
The human body, Doctor Metchnl-
koff, in common with scientists gem
orally, says is the battle ground. night
and day, between the good and bad
microbes. When the bad microbes
gain an engagement you're sick man.
When the good microbes turn the
tables, you get well. But on the other
hand. If the bad microbes rout the
good microbes so completely that they
cannot rally, you die.
Such is your everyday life.
Now, knowing that this terrible bat
tie is forever going on inside Of one,
Doctor Metchnikoff, by very simple
line of reasoning, concluded that Il
the good microbes could be fed up,
could be kept hale and hearty and al
ways ready for a victorious scrap with
the enemy, man naturally would live
longer. So he went to work to find
out what food the good microbes like
best. 1t proved to be sugar.
incidentally, the white-bearded sci
enlist discovered that intestinal de-
composition was the principal reason
for mans growing old. What would
stop or retard this putrefaction? Ev-
eryone knows that acids combat de-
composition. We must introduce into
the system an acid producing microbe
to overcome this condition.
That was simple enough opera
tion for Doctor Metchnikoff, but he
found that the microbes died of star
vation, because. depending upon sugar
for its living, they didn't get in the
lower intestines, sufficient sugar to
keep them alive. So the bad mi
crobes had a little difficulty in put
ting the feeble, good microbes out of
the business.
Obviously the thing to do was to
find another species of warrior in the
microbe world, or food which would
keep the one already discovered 60
ing. Sugar, absorbed by the system.
is not enough. Doctor Metchnikoff
discovered in the intestines of dog
the very thing he was after. mi
crobe capable of producing the sugar
required for the sustenance Of the
good microbes. This microbe is the
"glycobactere." It forms itself out
of the starchy foods. The bad mi
crobes pitted against the good glyco-
bactere, have no show whatever; and,
other conditions being favorable, there
is no reason why man, partaking Of
enough substances producing this
kind of microbe, should not live far
beyond the ordinary mortal.
"But why do so many dogs die
young?" DR.. Metchnikoff was asked
Although the microbee was discov-
cred in the intestinal flora of the
dog" the sayant replied, at does not
mean that all dogs have them"
Although the test has still to be ap-
piled to man., upon animals physically
more or less similar to the human
species, it has met with considerable
Even through this discovery
man is not destined to live forever,
it has been pointed out that his gen
eral health may be considerably bet
tered, for life thus heightened and
his effectiveness increased many fold

FAMINE SUFFERERS ARE
EATING THEIR CHILDREN

Washington, Feb. 29.-Startling

ers are eating their children and
children are eating each other in
Northwestern Persia, in the vicinity
of Hamadan, where famine has fol-
lowed the sacking of twenty-five
towns and villages by the rebel
troops of Salar ed Dowleh, brother
of the .deposed Shah. Forty thous-
and people are starving, it is declar-
ed, and the society has started re-
lief fund The American National
Red Cross also will be asked for
assistance.
Until new crops have been grown
and harvested there will be no OPP
portunity for the homeless neople
to help themselves. The people
of Teheran, DR.. Moody says, have
been raising money to relieve the
stress and have forwarded $500 to
buy food.
Salar ed Dowleh, who led the
rebels, has been placed in official
position as Governor of Tabriz in
the Russian sphere of influence in
Northern Persia. Recently the
Persian Government signified its
willingness to grant him about
$1,000 a year and restore to him
the $4,000 confiscated by order of
w. Morgan Shuster while he was
Treasurer General of Persia. This
was conditioned on his living
abroad.

"A ROYAL SLAVE'-GREAT
PLAY On FRIDAY NIGHT

With all it's wealth OF special
scenery, gorgeous costumes, bright

attraction at DR.. Beans Opera
House next Friday night, March 8.
This piece, which has attained such

of Mr.. Clarence Bennett, author of

although a serf, traced his lineage
