FOOLING TIME

Every few years there is a new agitation
Tor preventing old age Drinking buttermilk,
a vegetable diet. and other means are rec
ommended. The recurrence of the subject
proves its popularity and indeed we are all
of us inclined to feel that there is no time
like the present, and to regret the way old
Father Time is allowed to break all speed
laws. After what the Christian and mental
scientists have demonstrated of their ability
to avoid Illness by simply denying its exist
ence, men may gradually develop the power
to defy old age by tacitly ignoring it.
But now there comes a scientist, DR.. II S.
Williams, who describes in the Cosmopolitan
% new discovery for arresting the ravages
of old age:
The new drugs which give such necroman-
TIC promise are animal extracts prepared
from some obscure glands of the sheep, the
pig or the OK. BelSeley has made tests to
whether this drug which accelerates the
sluggish action Of the brain of the retarded
child, may not also serve to arrest or delay
certain cases of premature breakdown of the
mental powers In old age. He reports that in
the cases of premature mental failure with
distinct organic cause, the drug has proved
of great value with about a dozen patients,
with whom It has received a fair trial. Some
OF these patients he says, decline positively
to be without the drug, and he adds: 81 must
conclude that it definitely stimulates the
aging brain to the faster chemistry Of
younger days" So here is a drug that
promises to stimulate the mental growth of
defective children and to retard the onset
OF senility.
There is in Scribner's an article by young
man of So, who says that we never really
grow old at all, and the charming vitality of
his style gives weight to his assertion. In
Growing Old" t2) p. Deming writes
And here I come to the next of those
something's which ! wish to say. 1t is not
something now, but something that has
been emphasized by my experience. 1t is
the fact so often discovered by the aged, that
folks of any sort do not, in the depths of
reality change or grow old. The outside of
the man or woman wakes and wanes, but the
81 myself within me-" that something of
which we are conscious that spark of the
infinite flame seems as Changeless eternity.
To himself and to those who know him very
intimately, and most completely, the man is
and seems just as young and just as old at
20 as at fourscore. / have had exceptional
opportunity to know about this We were
family of seven children, of the old New Eng
land stock and Puritan. We have all lived
to be several years beyond 20. We grew up
together and have continued to dwell in our
native land in concord and harmony! Each
has read the others, as the saying is, like the
pages of a book Changes have come, the
usual changes. And these have been many.
But the dispositions, tendencies, tastes,
preferences, loves, hates. and all the long
catalog of personal qualities have remained
the same, and seem bound to continue un-
Changeable forever.
