GLAND ROUTE TO
VIGOR IS UNCERTAIN
"Y" Director Says Natural
Ways Are Best.

DR.. Serge voronofrs interstitial gland
experiments, asserted by him to have
restored to elderly men the vigor of
youth, have caused physicians and
physical directors in this city to issue
warnings that many persons might neg
lect the certain, commonsense rules Of
health and strength in order to chance
a semi-miracle.
Neither monkey glands nor any other
kind will put half as much vigor into a
man as definite. persistent exercise"
said DIR. Louis r. Wellsmiiler, physical
director of the West Side Y. M. c. A.,
yesterday. THE recent announcement
may cause many persons to neglect
fundamental rules of living. 1t may be
dangerous to put a husky engine in n
worn out boat. The boat would be likely
to shake to pieces. The subject might
find speedy grave.
Life and health depend upon five
fundamental principles: The proper
kind and amount OF food: the proper
elimination of the waste products OF
combustion; protection from germs and
other deleterious influences; rest. and
exercise fitted to each individual. II
these are carried out with proper rela-
tionship one has greater assurance OF
longevity than by any short cut"

Despite Arrest More Women
Are Halted and Searched.

The mystery of the mole searcher Of
Port Chester has only deepened since
the arrest there of Philip r. Fisher. an
importer. living at the Prince George
Hotel in this city. The strange quest OF
a night hawker with a revolver and
fiashlight to find one young woman In
all Port Chester with mole on her
shoulders Is still going on. with the ar
tistio soul of the crusader yet unsetis-
fed. Since Fishers detention the police
have had other reports Of young women
being halted and at revolver point COM
PEELED to prove they are guiltless of q
single scapular mole.
Fisher has been released, but viii be
required to return to Port Chester
Thursday for trial by jury. The pro-
ceeding Is unusual. such cases being
usually tried directly by the police judge
Charles F. Dalton, counsel for Fisher
said he would be able to prove by q
Communication ticket taken from his client
that Fisher was not In Rye or For;
Chester at the time OF the first reported
holdup of the mole hunter.
The police are considering the posi-.
bility Of the prevalence of fad grow.
ing out of the case, and suspect there
are several errant spirits now engaged
in the escapades. The Indignation Of
the women of the community has grown
to a high pitch, and II was not lessenet
yesterday by reports from Rye that 6
young man had been pulled from under
railroad platform, where he had 6
strategic optical command of women;
ankles as they boarded trains. The in
cident was seized upon by Mr.. Daltor
as additional evidence of the innocence
of Fisher.
The police announced that bottle
containing a dark brown fluid found OF

large choice for every

of the finest type is used to en-
nance the chemise, extended or

frock favors chemise lines and

and henna.

black frock for the large woman
featuring the over-skirt bead
ed at the bottom.
