r EFT us separate the two ques.
tions that you have twisted
- together. First. consider the
length of the day, which Is meas.
ured by the time that the earth
takes to make one complete turn
on its axis.
There are theoretical reasons
why the length Of the day should,
as 1t probably does. vary. but the
variation is so slight that no GER.

has yet been made. As Professor
Young has said. 1t certainly has
not varied as much as the hun.
dredth part Of a second In the last
1000 years, and probably not as
much as a thousandth part Of a
second.
The test is given by eclipses of
the sun and moon, and transits Of
the inner planets across the suns
disk. The times of these are cal.
culated upon the assumption that
the rate Of rotation is uniform, and
when an eclipse that occurred a
thousand years or more ago Is used
as the basis any considerable
change in the rate Of rotation
would be revealed by its accumu.
lated effects in changing the time
of the eclipse. Whether the varia.
~tion may have been greater in
early geologic ages we have no
means Of determining by similar
tests.
According to George Darwin s
celebrated theory of the birth Of
the moon from the earth through
tidal friction, the day was only

WGOR OF YOUTH IN
A new DISCOVERY
Science Produces a yitaIizer Superior
20 the Famous Gland Treatment
Magic Power of a Bark
From Africa

Have you lost our youth, vigor and
"pep"? Does life seem dull and work
a grind? Don't worry. Science has
discovered a new vitalizer; superior
even to the much discussed goat
gland" and monkey gland" treatment,
by which anyone can now quickly and
easily regain the vitality and eagerness
of youth and do it in the privacy OF
home.
The principal ingredient is an extract
from the bark of an African tree. 1t Is
said to be the most amazing invigorator
ever discovered Combined with 1t are
other tonic and vitalizing elements of
proved merit. In most cases the com
pound produces marked improvement in
a day or two, and in a short time the
vitality Is raised, the circulation i'm
proved and the glow of health is felt in
every part.
The laboratories producing this new
ara confident of its power that they
supply for only 81 and guarantee to
refund the money If the remedy fails to
give desired results in one week.
Any reader Of this paper may test the
new discovery without risk. Send no
money, but just your name and address
to Re-Bild Laboratories, PIG Gateway
Station, Kansas City, Mo, and a full
So treatment of Re-Bild-Tabs will be
mailed. Pay the postman 81 and post

the results at the end of a week, notify
the laboratories and your money will
be refunded in full. Do not hesitate
about accepting this test offer, as 1t is
fully guaranteed.
