newspapers told us a Will,

TIE newspapers told us a while
ago how DR.. stephen Smith
4 noted New York physician,
had started west to celebrate his
ninety seventh birthday with old
friends.
One of DR.. Smiths daughters ex-
planned to newspaper men that her
father has grown increasingly fond
of new "cenes and faces with the
march of years, so she wouldn't
be surprised TO learn that the
birthday party was held anywhere
between New York and San Fran
cisco. though she was inclined to
believe that he was probably with
MS old friend DR.. J. II. Kellogg,
OF Battle Creek, Michigan.
DR.. Smith is "A very alert, active
gentleman. The writer heard him
deliver an address a couple of years
ago that was full of pep. He is a
living proof Of his own belief that
the natural span of life is one hun
dred years.
DR.. Smith has repeatedly asserted
his belief that il has been proven
through. science that man was de-
signed to live for a century. He
argues that the human body is com
posed of bricks; that each atom has
a certain function to perform and
then dies, is removed from the body
and it's place is filled by a now
atom OF the same material: that this
material varies according to the
functions to be performed by the
atom, as those composing bone.
muscle, nerve, etc.; that by this
process the entire body is Contin-
sally being renewed. In other
words. the human body is a ma
chine which is so constructed that
NY constant renewal IL will exist
100 years.
Now. Or. Smith. did not begin to
put his physical house in order UNI
I'll he was fifty. lie had been a suf-
ferer up to that time from indiges-
ton and consequent autointoxiCa-
ton. Then he restricted himself to
the simple life diatetically ard 9TH
erwise. which. he says, insures to
its votaries the possibility of living
All their appointed days.

stantly lnproved In hca tn. This
