The discovery was made accidentally
by Doctor Held about a year ago while
he was in Germany, experimenting on
epilepsy cure.
THE serum is simply a substance
which will break up and dispel choline
from the body" the doctor said in ex-
PLANTATION of the discovery. THE
ehoIine clogs the blood vessels, retards
osmosis-a filtration process - and
other bodily functions. After the
eholine is dispeued. the vessels are
just as strong and efficient as in any
child
Why Shouldn't We?
why shouldn't we live long?" Doc
tor Held asked. "Elephans, parrots
and ravens, you know, usually live to
be more than 100 years and they were
made from much cheaper material
than the human body"
Gland transplantation as a rejuve-
nation was laughed at by Doctor Held.
'.Transplantation might spur up the
old body glands and give them re-
newed yigor for the time being" he
said, "but as for rejuvenating the
blood and prolonging life-never.
I'VE have only scratched the sur
face in this matter of rejuvenation.

added, 'I venture TO express the hope

'Our relations with France must be

prime minister declared. LAS to the
position in the near east what I hope
for from the conference is that there
may be a settlement which will give
peace to that part of the world and
which will enable us to bring our
troops back and cease spending money

Cut Down Taxes.
"As to the home policy" continued
Mr.. Bonar Law. the most important
thing is to cut down expenditures

MUSICIANS GO OUT|CUT over NOV. Is
Machine Switching Telephones
Into Use on That Date.
New Equipment Demonstrated
at Rotary Luncheon Today.

Midnight Saturday night, November
rs, was announced today as the date
for the transformation of the South
western Bell Telephone system in To-
peka to the machine switching sys-
tenn, following a demonstration of the
machine switching apparatus before
the Topeka Rotary club.
After midnight on that date, all
subscribers will use the dials on the
bases of the telephones which have
heen INSTALLED during the past few
months, in calling numbers, and will
have recourse to the services of tho
central operators only in case of
em ergencies.
The demonstration was in charge of
"A. CABorscheidt of st. Louis, who was
assisted by three girl demonstrators
employed by the company here.
A complete installation of the ma
chine switching equipment was placed
on the Rotary club plarrorm at the
noon luncheon today, and the girl
demonstrators, before the eyes of the
pens when the fingers of the subscrib-
er flirt with the dial contraption on
the base of the phone.
Four Phases of Demonstration.
There were four phases of the dem
onstration machine switching tele-
phone to machine switching tele-
phone; machine switching telephone
thru the service station to the rural
subscriber, who will not have a, dial
on his phone; rural subscriber to rural
subscriber, and rural subscriber to
machine switching telephone, again
thru the assistance of the operator.
Following the demonstration, Ro-
tarians fired volleys of questions at
Borscheidt, on every possible con-
tingency which might arise in the
operation of the new system of tele-
phones.
In commencing the demonstration
the telephone expert declared that the
company has spent one and a quarter
million dollars on the installation of
the new service in Topeka.
Last Word in Telephony"
"It is the most modern equipment
which can be had, and we believe that
it will give the best possible service
to subscribers" Borscheidt declared.
THE machine switching equipment
which we have installed in Topeka is
absolutely the last word in telephony"
One of the points stressed by Bor-
scheidt and the girl demonstrators
was that it will be necessary to refer
to a directory, Invariably, before call
ing a number, since the majority Of
the telephone numbers in the city are
to be changed, and the memory of
the subscriber for the number which
