THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

Louis COrnaro, noble Venetian. pur-
pOsely succeeded in reaching the
century mark after living a fast life
to the age of forty. Warned by his
physicians, he entered upon a course
Of studied simplicity with the avowed
intention of prOIOnging his days. He
succeeded far beyond his fOndest
hopes, enriching posterity with his
chronicles on the simple life, which
however. would have forever remained
a hidden treasure had not a latter-day
Ponce de LeOn-an American-bent
upon the same qUest-longevity-
earthed the essays Of COrnaro, and sup
pOrted by them. as it were, given the
world the fruits and results Of his
owR efforts along this line.
Every one is familiar with Fletch.
eTism, and the magical change which
this layman author OF new dietetics
brought about his methods Of com
plete mastication and insalivation"
and ignoring the time-honored meal
lines, eating only when forced to by
actual hunger. A schoOlboy can I'M
derstand that these methods OF sim
plthcaian and predigestion of foods
prevent that condition of fermenta-
ton which Metchnikofr warns us
against and wards of with sour milk.
Now, there has arisen another lay
man prophet of long life in the per-
son of a Californian, who Confesses to
having rejuvenated himself from an
old man of 50 to a young man of 70,
and not through a simple diet. No,
he admits that he has a growing boys
appetite and eats ravenOusIy How,
then, has he brought about a miracle ?
He eliminates the toxic products
by series of daily exercise that
bring into play every tissue Of the
body. prOpelling the waste matter
along and out. and supplanting it with
rich blood that feeds and builds UP
the body, thus keeping it ever young
and supple. In his way he has solved
the problem OF longevity. And this
seems to be the secret of long life:
Keeping the blood stream pure and
sweet. This enables the body to re-
stst the invasion of toxic elements to
overcome disease
Now scientists have demonstrated
that the blood Of healthy human be-
ings is normally possessed of germi-
cidal properties and when we come
in contact with a splendid human
specimen, or one grown old, still full
Of youthful vigOr, we may be sure that
in it the blood stream is proof against
all invaders.
However, it is laboratory Investigation
that IS enabling US to fitch from Dame

Indeed it outrivals ones widest fancies
and far outshines any Arabian Nights, {"
for the elixir of life which has been
sought alike by king and mountebank
as long the world has endured exists

We hold the secret Of youth, as it
were, within the hollow of our hands,
and it has remained for twentieth-cen-
fury scientists to demonstrate It. No one
can say where the experiments now be-
ing conducted in the biologic laboratories
will lead us. One thing is certain
science is cold; 1t is satisfied only with
the demOnstrable facts. When, there
fore, a genius like Alexis Carrel de-
clares that he Is able to maintain living
tissue in a state of constant growth in

body, we can with a surety look for
ward to no distant future in which
this great questionable prolongation
of life-win be solved.

OMAHA TOO GAY FOR

Midwest Implement Men Too
Busy Having Good Time to
Attend Convention.
GALLAGHER Is RE- ELECTED

Because Omaha offers so much at
tractIvc entertainment that many
members who come here for the con-
vcntions never even sec the inside of
the convention hall, and out of
membership OF over 700 attendance at
sessions averages about thirty as a
result, the Midwest Implement
Dealers association almost scratched
Omaha of its list at the final session
OF the eighth annual convention at
the Hotel Rome this morning.
A resolution was introduced that
the manufacturers and jobbcrs should
close their exhibits during convention
hours and that they themselves would
attend the sessions or the next Mid
West convention should be held in
some other city than Omaha. Omaha
was saved however. when substi-
tute motion giving the Gate City
fftyhfty was passed over the orig
inal resolution.
Lincoln was the town suggested as
Omaha's successor, because it is be-
licved Lincoln has no attractions
which will keep the delegates away
from the convention sessions.

Germans Spring New
Wrinkle in the Tax
Dodging Game

| Correspondence of The Associated Pross)
Frankiord- on-the- Main, Germany.
Oct. 3l.-Beating the government out
of taxes by the more or less simple
process of changing the character OF
ones businesS-from limited liabil-
ity corporation to a partnership and
back again as tax day approaches
is tho latest wrinkle in tax lodging.
One firm in Mcuhlheim-on-the-
Main, the owner of which is a resi-
dent OF Frankfort, has pursued the
plan so successfully that he is alleged
10 have cheated the government
legally out of between two and three
million marks since the beginning of
| the war.
To prevent him from further evad-
ing taxes the mayor of Muelheim has
petitioned the Hessian legislature to
enact some emergency legislation
which shall prevent him from again
altering the character of his business
and escaping once more with his war
profits intact.
The man in question owns plant
that originally made steel screws,
and that with the beginning of the war
was commissioned by the government
to repair broken parts of guns and
cannons. At the end of June, 1915,
the firm, then a corporation, had made
net profit of 3,500,000 marks.
On the basis of these profits, the
firm was assessed for total of $751;
900 marks on its prospective business
between April and March 81, 1917.
To cvadc this payment the proprietor
liquidated his business, had himself
appointed as receiver---and blossomed
out as partnership. By this time the
authorities discovered this. and also
found that the old firm against which
prospective taxes had been assessed
was no longer existent, the profits
had increased it is estimated, TO some"
thing like eight or ten million marks.
Now there is in prospect the POSSIBLE
ity that the partnership will be dis
solved in timely way so that again
there will be no firm to levy against.
In his petition to the Hessian legis-
lature the mayor of Muelheim bitterly
condemns the practice of a successful
business firm of lodging taxes at
time when they are so necessary, and
at time when those less able to pay
are nevertheless obliged to bear in
creased burdens. By coincidence there
is no existing law to prevent the al
teration Of the partnership to some
other kind OF business. Hence the
appeal OF the mayor for an emergency
law

Bruce Has Sewer Plan
For the Entire City

City Engineer Bruce is preparing
comprehensive plan for an adequate
sewer system for Greater Omaha. 1t
is estimated that the proposed system
would cost between 100000 and ST.
100000, but even at that figure it is
said it would be cheaper in the end
than building a system without dehn-
ite plan. 1t would not be necessary to
build this system at once, the plan
being something to work to and con-
templating future development the
engineer explained.
The rapid growth of Omaha's area
has long since gone beyond its sewer
efficiency. The plan being drawn by
Mr.. Bruce will be used in connection
with the City Planning commissions
proposed general city plan.
