ELDERLY CAN "coME BACK"
Physician Tells How He Succeeded IN
Throwing on the Incubus OF
Advancing Years.

Or. I. Leo Nascher tells how he made
himself over into a young man, in an
article in Peoples Magazine for May.
ut is something any elderly person
can do" he says. Here is the sim
pie proposition. A man ages many
years in the course of a severe Illness
lasting several weeks. After a few
weeks vacation he looks and feels
many, but to q certain extent the Gus
he was taken i'll. Having In mind hun
dreds of cases in which this has proved
true, it is logical to ask If we cannot
re1uvenate the aged, make them grow
young again, just as we made the pre-
maturely aged invalid become young.
And, through recent experiments, that
can now be answered in the afiirma-
tive. 1 speak from personal experience.
at Is a fact that there is not a sim
gle one Of the objective manifestations
of senility, those that give the appear
ance of old age, which cannot be re-
moved, suppressed, or hidden, or at
least a youthful substitute found for
1t.
ITO restore the spirit and buoyancy
Of youth is more difficult. This re-
quires the will, not only the desire, but
the determination and the energy to be
young, to feel young and look young.
Most old persons have the desire, some
have the determination, but few have
the energy to carry out the measures
necessary for regeneration. In many
cases the old man or woman who would
like to do so Is afraid of ridicule, of
bei- : called giddy and foolish If he or
she suddenly appeared in youthful at
tire and adorned with the articles of
the beauty parlor. Yet under some
special stimulus, usually the desire to
attract some particular individual of
the opposite sex, both men and women
have gone beyond the limit of pro-
priety to look younger than they are
and feel younger than they look. And
If they went about it the right way
they usually succeeded.
II tried it a couple of years ago, not
to attract any particular individual,
but to see If 1t could be done, and how
it felt to grow young.
I'm one year the change In my ap'
pearance and actions and feelings was
so complete that persons who had no
seen me since the earlier days, when
was aged, did not recognize me"

Q ONE of the hats of midsummer
~ might be inspired by thistle-down
or the exquisite airy globe that fol-
lows the flower of the dandelion-they
are so light and so cool-looking. Only
the sheerest and most lace-like ma
terials go into their making, mere
mists of fabrics in pure white. Their
trimmings are often all-whlte also (;
the cold but lovely ghosts of gay flow
ers and fruits and grains that adorn
their colorful rivals. Occasionally a
little pale color appears in ribbon or
other trimming on these fragile-look-
ing white shapes but designers like
best to make them all in white.
Hair braid, malines and the flmiest
laces over the finesk wire frames,
make the majority of the white dress
hats for midsummer, and white rib
bon in the row widths appears
to lend them just enough Of substance
and luster to make them pass as head
coverings. The group of four hats
shown here reveals the success with
which millinery artists deal in these
materials; they indicate something of

Yields to March Of Progress.

One of the Oldest banks in Wall
street has finally yielded to the march
of progress-and installed a telephone.
1t will only have M phone at first,
for it is difficult to uproot prejudices
of many years. They have never had
a telephone because they believed that
confidential business could not be CON
Quoted owe a telephone and their at
mosphere of the old bank, the oldest
in the city, is that of a staid institu-
ton in some old town settled in Colo
NAL times. Absolute quiet prevails.
The employees retain the old-fashioned
good manners. Instead Of a lovely
laughing creature who tells the world
the line is busy in thrilling soprano,
the bank will select for their first tele-
phone operator a person with a beard
and a bass voice, able to endow his
lightest %utterances with a certain pro-
fundity.

New and Valuable Resin.

A new synthetic resin is stated to
be a suitable substitute for many pur-
poses for Damar and Kauri gums and
common resin. 1t is produced from
coal tar d~istillates, and has been named
Cumar. 1t is soluble in coal tar SOL
vents, vegetable oils, carbon bisul-
phide, carbon tetrachloride, ether and
acetone. 1t is insoluble in alcohol,
and this unusual property gives it a
special value for varnishes. 1t finds
use also in leather dressings, polishes,
artificial leather, printing inks, water
prooing paper, linoleum, and as a
binder for nodded materials. Its
color may vary from light yellow to
dark amber, and the melting points of
the various grades range from 80 de-
grees to about 100 degrees centigrade.
With many mineral and vegetable
wakes it gives mixtures of remarkable
properties.

Euxptlan Women Are serfs.

The treatment of women in Egypt
is the darkest phase OF Egyptian life,
a G. N. Barnes, British member of
parliament, who recently returned
from q tour of that country.
The men in Egypt, says Mr. Barnes,
so far as sex relations are concerned,
think themselves the lords of creation.
They can divorce their wives at will,
without within or reason, and it is not
for a man to have three
wives.
"In many houses" continues Mr..
Barnes, II never saw a woman, and
you can take it from me that the pos
ton of the women in Egypt is abso-
lutely n of serfdom and dependence.
They spend their lives in miserable
novels, in working in the adjoining
fields or in getting water.
"They are the serfs of the men and
as much beasts of burden as the don.
key and the camel. A people which
uses I'M folk in that way are des-
tined to be a subject race and do not
deserve to govern"

Social Side of Roosevelt.

Mr.. Roosevelt was a believer in the
amenities and civilities of public as
well as private life. He had a very
alert and correct sense of form"
writes Edward G.. Lowry In the Re-
view. 1t was one Of his strongly
marked traits, though little dwelt upon
by his many biographers. He gath
cred about him while he was in the
White House many agreeable, pleas
ant, civil spoken men whose chief
apparent qualification was a distinct
social background and tradition. They
were not grubby, workaday persons at
all, but rather men who had found
the world a charming place Of sojourn
largely because their fathers and
.g%randfathers had provided a solvent
for the observation-disclosures problem. For
the most part they were the very best
butter and acquitted themselves cred
itably.

Political Liberation of Women

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait is
founder and president Of the Inter
national Woman Suffrage alliance and
honorary president of the League of
Women Voters, which has just sup
planted the American Woman Suffrage
association. At the opening of the re-
cent congress Of the former body In
Geneva, Switzerland, Mrs. Gait said
in part:
For the suffragists of the world
a few facts stand forth with great
clarity. The first and greatest is that
the political liberation of women was
tossed up out of the war chaos like
an isolated mountain when the world
was in the making. War, the IN
doubted original cause of the humili-
ating, age-old subsection of women the
world around, war, the combined en-
envy of their emancipation, has ten
dered to the women of many lands
their political freedom Strange, be-
wil0ering fact!

TO MAKE BORDEAUX MIXTURE
American Forestry Association Gives
Directions for Preparation of Great
Enemy of Plant Diseases.

That ever-popular bordeaux mix
ture is great stuff for plant diseases,
says the American Forestry ~associa-
ton in directing how to care for
plants. Often 1t is the case that you
win want to combine insecticides with
fungicides in spraying, the associa-
tion points out, and bordeaux mixture
is the thing. However, 1t should be
remembered that bordeaux mixture is
not fatal to insects but is an effective
control for various types Of fungous
disease. Here is the combination for
making the mixture:
Copper s~ulphate, blue stone or blue
vitriol, 3. ounces.
Lump lime or hydrated lime, 3
ounces.
Water, 21a gallons.
Procure the ingredients at a drug
or seed store. If lump lime is used,
it must be fresh. Instead of lump
lime, some prefer fresh hydrated lime.
This is lime to which enough water to

Senate Wants to Know, You Know

Senator Pomerene (portrait here

resolution which was passed during
the last few minutes of congress and
gave extension of the powers of the
committee investigating campaign ex-
penditures. So the committee will be
enabled to throw publicity on the
