Sleeps Blood for Men.

CHEEP'S blood in a mans bodyi
This statement, which sounds like
the old incantations of witchcraft,
may soon represent an accomplish
ment in the field Of medicine. Prof.
Yourevitch and Mile. Teleguina of
Prague, Czechoslovakia, have finished
experiments that seem 10 show that
when a human being loses a large
amount Of blood, so that TRANSMISSION
is necessary. blood can be taken from
animals and injected into the mans
body to replenish the supply.
This has always been thought I'M
possible. Indeed, TRANSMISSION hereto
fore has been possible only between
certain human beings who happened
to be in the same "blood group" The
injection of animal blood into the
human body has been considered i'm
possible without death resulting. But
the Czechoslovakian scientists have
succeeded in washing" the red cor
puscles of the blood to be injected.
and In this way they saved a rabbits
life by injecting sleeps blood. They
suggest that the sleeps blood could
also save human lives, and further
more, that the blood could be bottled
up and stored for an emergency for .
long time. <s6

I was staring aimlessly into the

two ladies who met the baby carriage
stopped it on the sidewalk and one
said: "Oh isn't he just too cute" and
the other said, Look at his dear little

yet?" and the nurse answered, mo

three or four times each. Then they
went on.

BIZ STEPHEN LEACOCK.

Y T was when / had reached the age
OF 81 that 1t began to occur to
me that I was getting old. Ger.
i tain warning symptoms, in them
selves nothing, had arisen to
convince me of this fact.
In the first place I had lost my
hair. The first time I dropped a
hair thought nothing OF It. l was s
| playing golf at the time and did not
| stop to pick it UP. Even when a
| friend remarked, "You have lost q
hair this morning" merely an

pass without comment.
lost two hairs that same after
noon in a thunderstorm, but was stu
inclined to minimize the gravity OF It.
Suffice it to say that the time came
| when I was down to four hairs-tWo
on each side just above the ear. 1
| felt now in serious danger OF bald
ness. One day while carelessly sit
ting in front Of an electric fan lost
all Of them.
The change in my appearance was
very striking. AS entered my club
that evening an acquaintance or
mine fell back in astonishment.
"Good heavens!" he exclaimed.
where are your hairs?" II lost all
four Of thenn." said. "Never mind"
| he said, "Queen Elizabeth was bald,
and yet look at all she did"
This soon proved. however, to be
only the first of various symptoms,
trivial in themselves, which indicated
the oncoming Of possible old age.
Keeping pace with the loss Of my
hair, and the stalling OF my diges-
ton, / had acquired rheumatism. MY
irst warning Of 1t was that found
myself unable to lower my left hand
below my hip. After that was
unable to turn my neck sideways. A
little later I lost the power to move
INV ears. In fact my condition was
one verging on locomotor ataxia.
NV rheumatism was accompanied.

called tester-bed. 1t was a tester,
no doubt Of that, a tester endurance

1t was q rare old piece, and I could

quite to the contrary, it was kinda
overdone.
But while at first the whole thing
got me hooking, on account I had
many times before passed that shop
under the impression the stuff on the
sidewalk had been put out to wait
for the man from the city dump, well
anyways. after I seen the price tags
and listened to the line, begun to go
kind Of cuckoo my own personal self,
and commenced yelling Oh my deah,
isn't this too quaint? whenever !
stumbled over a old iron double. boiler
or bumped into motheaten kitchen

In the end I actually caught my
self paying out five perfectly good
iron men for q dagerertype of the
grandmother Of some perfect stranger

reason I bought it, was that there
wasn't nothing else in the store for
five dollars and I had commenced to
crave antiques as soon as / realized
that it was really a fashionable vice
and the prices was ample proof Of
that. Believe you me, nobody but the
right people could afford to haul stuff
out Of that grab-bag!
Well anyways, after a while, Mabel,
having tried to buy the old boards in
the floor of the shop, decided we'd bet
ter be on our way to the farm out in
the country where Mrs. Goofnah had
the chair staked out. So we went
there, and Mabel found the place and
she says, now my dear, don't say a

price will go up.
But she need not of warned me.
When I seen it I was speechless all
