THE FLAME OF LIFE

We laugh at the old Spanish explor-
ers who sought the fountain Of per-
petual youth in the Businesses of the
New World; but the truth seems to be
that we are doing the same thing still.
Now, however, it is not ignorant adj
venturers who are engaged in the
quest, but the leading men of science,
who are coming to look upon old age
as more and more of a mystery, and
who really seem to be forseeing a day
when our bodies shall cease to wear
out and when natural death shall be
Fbanished from the world.
Scientists are watching closely an
experiment that has been going on now
for nearly nine years. In 1912 an in
vestigator in the Rockefeller Institute
removed a chickens heart and placed
Cd piece of it in a flask together with
some plasma, or blood fluid. Since the
chicken was dead, the heart tissue
should have been dead, also. Yet it
was quickly learned that such was not
the case at all; and since the plasma is
the natural food of all body tissues,
this heart tissue not only refused to
die but has actually increased in bulk
ever since by the constant formation of
new, living cells. Nothing has been
done to it, save to sterilize it so that
disease germs could not attack it, and
to provide it new supply of plasma
for food from time to time; and the
strange thing is that it is still alive

OUR RIGHTS
ARE FIRST

A new and significant movement in
England is the organization of the
middle classes, as against either the
laboring or the capitalistic classes.
The organization, which goes by the
name of "salariat," probably because
it is made up for the most part of cal
aried people, is spreading rapidly. It's
members are in general minor officials,
clerks, bookkeepers, secretaries and
many others who have been finding
themselves SO hard squeezed between
the upper and neither milstones of
avarieious capital and greedy labor
that existence, itself, has become next
to impossible at times.
The solution of the trouble between
labor and capital will be finally reach
ed in all probability by this road. The
middle classes are the real public, by
which is meant all that great mass of
small property owners and people who
manage their own small businesses,
as well as the sa,aried classes. Per-
haps two-thirds of all the people of
our country wiuld fall into this group;
yet both capital and labor seem to
hold the view that it has no rights
whatever that are entitled to respect.
We have even found them within the
past two or three months complain
ing because the so-called public is
represented by small minority MEM
bership on some of the commissions
appointed to settle questions of rates,
wages, and other matters.
It seems to be time that the public
asserted itself here as in England;
for the truth is that it's interests
should receive first consideration in
the settlement of the great social and
economic controversies of the pres
ent.

THE CURE

Down to the store the other day

"This country needs some brand new
laws
The way it looks to me"
Some other fellers took it up
Like they most always do
And threshed this nations problems
out
Complete fore they got through.
New laws they had fer this and that,
Reforms of every natur'.
Surprises me how some folks stays
Out Nv the legislator"
Says old Eph Watkins, sittin' there
Behind the other men.
Nobody said word to that
So he went on again.
'Now, mind you, don't claim to be
No Jestice o. the Peace,
But pears to me what we need most
Is jes' some elbow grease.
When money comes so easy-like,
First thing we know, weshirk;
The thing to cure this country's ills
Is plain, old fashioned work!
Les pillow our fields and sow our crops
And keep on sawin' wood,
| reckon that would be the way
To do our country good"
Well, Fred grinned kind o. sheepisI

Apparently certain young Venus
concluded she was not attracting the
desired admiration from the male sex.
1t was unthinkable. Something had to
be done-and she did it.
She donned very scanty bathing
suit, skin tight. On one bare leg, mid
way between the knee and the thigh,
she painted a picture of parrot. Then
she posed on the bathing beaches, glo
ried in the vulgar stares of the men
and promptly had her picture taken.
Of course it is in print.

which it came would long since have
died of old age if its career had not
been cut short.
The conclusion is that so-called nat

diticn within the body which gradual

may or may not be preventable; and
already the scientists are endeavor-

Big corporations are vociferously
demanding a reduction in the price of
labor. They can not understand why
the laborer should object to such a
reduction-or perhaps they prefer not
to understand.
A good captain in time of war does
not ask his men to go where he is not
willing to lead. That would be cow
ardice and poor judgment, and neither
would last long in the army.
The chief officials are the captains of
industry. Craftsmen and laborers are
the under officers and men.
Captains of industry should emulate
the captains of the army. They should
learn to lead instead of drive Ameri-
cans will follow good leader, but they
object to being driven like sheep.
When the captains of industry begin
the downward trend by reducing their
own salaries in proportion to the re
uction demanded from their men there
will be less objection voiced by labor
But this they will not do. Their
personal greed prevents.
They are poor captains-short sight
ed-deficient in judgment-very fool
ish.
