tion. he said recent discoveries COG cerning the function of glands of the human bodE had paved the way for duetion of the perfect man.
 Dr, William H. Diffenbaeh, Tn x ray specialist also of New York, said that by proper control of the function of glands a fountain of youth would be discovered, as failure of the glands to function was the cause of old age.
 By properly regulating mans glands" said Dr.. Fiske. "we will not only be able to control his mental char. aeteristics, but also his physical ap- pearance. It will bo within our power to say whether he shall be tall or shorb fat or thin; whether his voice shall be tenor or bass.
 By increasing the actier i sluggish glands and slowing q WI the over active glands, remarkable results have been accomplished, and we are on the verge of even greater achievements which will make possible the produc- tion of the perfect man."
 Dr. Diffenbach expressed the opinion that control of the ductless glands was far superior to implantation of monkey glands for the restoration of youth.

Tn God We Trust. :"

in God We Trust" first appeared on the copper cent piece of 1864, and was the first use of the word God" in any government act. The phrase was in troduced by Mint Director James Pol lock, with the approval Of the Seere- tary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase. It appeared in 1866 on large nun Der of coins, including the silver dollar, several gold coins and small silver cons.
 Some of the coinage of 1907 appeared without the customary legend, and much criticism was aroused. and Con gress, on May 8, 1908, passed the fol- lowing act, restoring the motto to the coin;
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United otates of America in Congress assem- bled, that the motto, "In God We prust," heretofore inscribed on certain denominations of the gold and silver coins of the United States of America. shall hereafter be inscribed upon all gold and silver coins of said denomina- tions as heretofore" :"

Increase Seen in Life
 Span in. United States

Washington.-The average length of fife in the United States has increased 15 years since 1870, Surgeon General Cumming, of, the public health service, says in bis annual report to Congress.
 FiftY-six years is now the average span Ofnlife in America, the surgeon general said This contrasts with the sixteenth century, when human life averaged between IS and 20 years, in- creasing to about 9 years in the eighteenth century, aud to between 45 and AS years as late as 1900.
 Tuberculosis and typhoid fever, the report disclosed. showed some decrease last calendar year, both in cases and in deaths
 Diphtheria also. declined, but de cided increase was shown in measles, with 735,529 cases and 10.282 deaths, compared with z60 803 cases and 3.592 deaths in 1922.
 Special attention was given in the report 90 whooping cough. which in' creased 60 per cent in the last two cal end&r years, with an increased death death rate of A per cent, most of which was in children under pears of age.
 Forgv,five states reported 30,771 cases of smallpox, which is more prevalent in this country than in Europe, New England had much smaller number of csses than the south, west and mid- dle west.
 ''All plague preventive measures carried on by the federal government in states other than California had been suspended at the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1922" digest of the report said, "It has been neees- sary to continue operations on snail scale in certain counties in California on account of plague in ground squir- rels," and Surgeon General Cumming states that he has no doubt that under present conditions this squirrel infec- tion will continue for years to come.
 It should be stated that the annual report from which these facts are taken was written some weeks before the outbreak of the pneumonia plague in Dos Angeles.

ERIN TAKES TEMPERANCE STEP
Free State Cuts Hours of Sale; Will
Seek to Reduce Liquor Shops

An Associated dispatch, carrying a
date line of December IS says that the
Irish FREE STATE governments bill
to regulate the sale of drink has passed
the senate. In other words, it has re-
strained the hours of sale to thirteen
day and puts clubs of all classes on the
same basis as all drink saloons as far as
the serving of liquor is concerned.
An interesting provision of the new law
is the standardizing the size of porter bot
ties. These bottles formerly averaged
twelve to the gallon but ma ny publicans,
while charging the same price per bottle,
have recently been putting gallon into
sixteen bottles.
This is the governments first attempt
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1925-01-09

to promote Temperance. It's next move,
it is announced, will be to diminish the
number of drink shops. There are ls.-
600 of them in the Free State, or one to
every $50 citizens. In England, the pro-
vision is one 10 every AIS, and in Scot
land one for every COS. 1t is hoped to re-
duce the states $4,000 by at least one-half
and commission is being set UP to de
termine how it eau be done and how
compensation is to be provided.

OUT OF BUSINESS
lLaSalle (Ill.l Tribunel


Ottawa, ILL.,, Dec. 18.-Five darkencd
buildings in the business district of Utica
last night bore evidence of the success
Of States Attorney Russell O. Hanson in
his effort to have the buildings closed for
the alleged violation of the Illinois pro-
hbition law.
All of the five dealers who have been
engaged in the soft drink business, it
is understood, have quit. That was indi-
Gated at hearings on injunction petitions
held before County Judge Harry Recl1,
and it appears that as much has been ac-
complished by Mr.. Hanson as though he
had succeeded in pursuadng the court to
issue injunctions to close the buildings.
Under Judge Recks ruling. the defen-
dants are prohibited from selling intoxi-
eating liquor, pending final hearing in
January, and they also must not remove
any of the fixtures. The court, however,
did not prohibit the defendants from con-
tinuing in the sale of legitimate merchan-
disc.

to follow him quietly and see what there
was to sec. Moored to the dock at the

o'clock arrived in their cars at a point
half mile distant From there they
moved aloot toward the landing. In the
bright moonlight they approached
stealthily until near the rivers bank At
consnand they made a rush for the
boat. which was riding easily at the
wharf.
Two men, apparently engaged in car
rying liquor off the boat, made dash to
get away but were quickly caught. The
deputies then boarded the craft and with
drawn revolvers and shotguns ordered all
aboard under arrest.
A search of the boat yielded about 600
quarts of costly bootleg liquor, which was
slowed in the cabin and i'll the hold This
was done up in sewcd gunny sacks, six
quarts to a sack, each bottle protected by
a straw wrapping.
Assistant States Attorney Lindauer
was informed by river men Sunday that
the boat was worth at least $4,000
