Strength Of Trade Unions Broken
BY General Strike

London, Feb. l.-R-Membership
in the British trade unions which
began q marked decline Immediately
after the failure OF the genera
strike In 1926. has reached the low
est number in IL years.
For the first time since 1915 tn
unions membership has fallen be-
low 100000 as shown by the --latest
official figures, those Of the year
1897, just compiled by the ministry
of labor. which show a total union
membership of 4,90S,o00.
Labor experts blame this loss to
trade unionism on the collapse OF
the general strike and upon the
unemployment problem which has
existed in England since immedi
ately after the world war.
The depression IN the coal min.
ing districts is reflected graphically
in the loss Of 100000 members by
the mining and quarrying unions
whose total membership has now
dropped to $4,000.
The railway unions were the next
greatest sufferers. During the last
year shown by the official figures
they lost 10000 members and their
total membership dropped to
$4,000.

wARDING OFF OLD AGE (Csat.)

WARDING OFF OLD AGE (Ceat.)
In the course Of time Ne man learn
to 30 control our environment and
ourselves that We can overcome some
or al OF the symptoms Of old age. but,
|at the present time, the only hope Of
q real rejuvenation lies In that which
can be secured by better physical
health and = joyful mental attitude.
Too many people are seeking short
|cuts. They would rather have some
Thing done TO them than do some-
thing for themselves.
| In 0othe's opera, Faust" Is found
the remedy for warding off old age.
Faust, - do many people today, re-
fused to employ . remedy which re-
|quired much effort on his own part,
preferring q magic formula or decoc-
ton. Here are some Of the first in
|structions given to Faust:
drop luxuries. and to the fields
repair. support thyself upon q
frugal fare. This Is the surest
fallen the victim Of ''get rich quick"
method without fail, ut eighty to
grow young and hale"
Today Faust would probably have
gland specialist.
There are undoubtedly many honest
gland surgeons, sincere In their work.
They undoubtedly accomplish good in
many cases, and am not trying to
deride their efforts in the least, for
they know, perhaps better than any
one else. that the big promises Of the
''rejuvenators" are untrue. There is
no method ct present known that can
In q few minutes make q man Of
eighty years Of age grow In appear
ance like man Of twenty five.
It must be remembered In trans
porting q gland from one animal to
another that the life Of the gland de-
ponds upon two factors. The first Is
nourishment from the blood and
lymph, and the second Is nerve slim
ulation. It Is usually possible for q
transplanted gland to obtain sur
ficient nouYishment to keep alive for
Q limited time, but 1t Is almost in
variably true that the transplanted
glands have been absorbed and en-
tirely disappear before one or two
years have elapsed.
There Is much hope dieteticallv for
prolonging youth. The key probably
lies in some special balancing Of the
mineral elements Of foods. Potassium,
for instance, Is believed to be q pro-
tective element against many para
sites ana fungus growths. while
sodium acts al an agent to keep the
salts Of lime and magnesium dis
solved. In its absence these are pre-
cipitated into the tissues.
Much can be accomplished by liv-
ing on q carefully selected diet,
adopting youthful attitude Of mind,
and using regular vigorous physical
culture exercises. The idea that food
may play an important part in ward
Ing off old age Is not . new one. It
Is found in the legends Of practically
every land. It is said, for instance,

AS rule parents can tell If chill
dren have anything wrong with their
eyes, but not always. I knew q girl
who reached fourteen before 1t was
thought necessary to have her eyes
examined.
When she got her glasses and went
to school the next day, she acted as
though she was seeing q circus for
the first time.
She came home in great excitement
and cried as she opened the door,
Mother, saw the blackboard to-
day!" Her mother determined to In
vestigate the exact meaning Of this.
See the blackboard. She should hope

So to school that afternoon she
went and after dismissal she and the
teacher did some experimenting.
Couldn't See Board ut All!
Absolute dismay possessed her, the
teacher too. when they discovered
that without glasses the child liter
ally was blind as far as the black
board was concerned, even In the
front seat.
Ashamed Of being thought stupid
she had made a bluff at pretending
she saw when she didn't. She thought
all people saw Is poorly as she did.
Most large cities now have free
school clinic that tests eyes as well
as ears. nose and throat, but not all.
II teacher notices vision discrep-

may be only guessing and she may be
wrong, but she may have noticed
trouble that has escaped you.

bling his eyes day after day without
trying to discover the cause.
It may be irritation Of the con-
junctive, the fine membrane that
lines the eyelids. but If 1t does not

with mild boracic solution or other
