If the credit for making the Braves
of Boston the pennantwinners in the
National League Is to go to George
Stallings, their manager. there is no
more striking proof of his ability than
the fact that his club is largely made
up of "cast-offs" from other major
league clubs. Stallings picked up men
other managers could see nothing in,
and with their aid he has won a pen
nant.
First and foremost was Johnny Evers,
who was not good enough, according
to Charles Webb Murphy, to play with
the Cubs in Chicago. At any rate,
ter of without the famous second base
man. So Evers has been playing great
ball in Boston. Next there is Gowdy,
|Stallings' catcher. He was not good
enough for John McGraw. manager of
the New York Giants. Gowdy was with
the Giants long enough for McGraw to
come to the conclusion he was not
championship material. So with Ru-
dolph, the star pitcher of the Bostons.
McGraw had him, but could see moth
ing in him. Instead he kept Mar
guard, who has succeeded in losing
twelve straight games.
Then there was Red" Smith of
thought Smith was a disturber. and
got rid OF him.
Stallings has thus made three -fifths
of his pennant-winning inield with
Gowdy, Evers and Smith, men other
managers rejected.

 Until Professor Marinesco attacked the problem. the study of the problems of old age has neglected it's chemical side almost completely and has totally ignored the i'm portant changes which take place in the col. loidal cells. Thanks to his investigations, we now know that these colloids. whether organic or inorganic. have vital curve and must consequently follow in their evolution fixed course more or less similar to that of the living elements.
 Not only do these jely-like substances dry up as they grow old. but they often become fbrous and stringy. Diffusion through them becomes more difficult and their chemical properties undergo radical changes. All these changes are precisely those which take place in living organism as they grow old.

Why Old Age Really Does Dry Us Up.

A CCORDING to the latest discoveries. the "A term "dried up." so often applied to
 old men and women. is scientifically correct Drying up" is what actually does happen to our bodies as they advance in age. and there is at least as much truth as poetry in the comparison of youth to juicy young bough and old age to dry. withered limb on the tree of life.
 Professor c. Marinesco, of the University of Bucharest, has recently discovered that our flesh is made up mostly of chemical con- pounds of the colloid type. consisting of jelly. like or glue-like substances that do not crystalline. This type of substances. he says. "erow old" chemically whether they form a oart of living body or not.

 The changes which the body's cells under. go explain not only why we all die eventually but also why we don't keep on growing until death overtakes us.
 As the colloid substances grow old they become less fluid and offer much greater resistance to the various chemical processes on which life depends Nutrition is blocked and this results in the stoppage of growth-a stage that is reached in human beings at a comparatively earlier period than in other animals.
 This increased blockade of nutrition as the cells become drier and more ibrous or stringy explains why we loose our vigor and arc subject to all sorts of ailments as we be- come old.
 Of course many external causes may have nand in hastening the processes of old age and death. But even if all these external causes were removed Professor Marinesco believes that the colloid cells would eventual Y dry up and die just ax plant does when deprived ol watsr.
