Bankers" The Literary Diges,

keeping America prosperous. Their
expert fingers are on the business
pulse OF every city, town, and village,
every line OF trade and industry.
when they vote, they vote for good
times and against hard times, and
curiously enough, we find practically
the same number voting for enforce
ment and for repeal, 35,2l0 for the
one and 34,5l8 for the other, with
1906 taking the middle ground for
modification.
Striking geographical trends are
shown. with bankers in lnanufactur-

in farming states like Kansas and
Nebraska favoring enforcement.

a GROUP of three scientists
a Steinbach, Voronoff and Tush-
noff-have carried an intensely inter.
esting experiments in the prolongatlon
or life. The argument. especially of
the first TWO in the group, Is that by
process Of gland operations, life can.
not only be rejuvenated but also ex.
tended to at least century.
An even more interesting series OF
experiments has been conducted by the
last named In the group of three, Pro.
fessor Tushnoff, who is a Russian, and
whose work very largely has been
: done In connection with the medical
schools of that country. AT first the
Russian medical world was disposed to
regard Professor Tushnoffs expert,
ments with grave doubt, but of late
his work has been received with more
seriousness. According to Professor
Tushnoff, longevity is explained by
the absence Of poisonous matter 10
the system and not by the natural
wear and tear of bodily organs. If
this poisonous matter could be elm,
mated and barrier set up prevent
ing it's return into the human system,
the span of life could easily be fixed
from a century to one hundred and
fifty years.
The elimination of this poisonous
matter is accomplished by chemical
processes. These chemicals are pro
duced from the texture of organs
which have already deteriorated due
to action of poisonous matter. The
experiment seems not altogether un
like the action of antitoxin In cases
OF diphtheria. A proper dose creates
new life to the organisms whereas an
overdose causes atrophy' Experiments
upon human beings do not seem to
have been frequent enough to warrant
any decided and definite information /;
but the results OF experiments upon
animals has created much interest and
comment. A recent report of some of
these experiments reads as follows:
Experimenting on goats, Tushnoff
increased their milk yield so per cent
One hundred and eighty chickens
shortly after receiving injections
gained more than half their norma
weight and hens which had stopped
laying eggs began to lay again"

MARTIAL LAW LIFTED !;
IN FORCE SINCE 1927

Dubois, Pa.-The first official act
of Sheriff Ira C. McCloskey, after he
took the oath of office, was to end the
state of martial law, which has been
in force since August Is, 1927.
Martial law was ordered by Percy
f. Smith, then sheriff, who alleged
that the miners strike was beyond
control of civil authorities. The proc
lamation was investigated by a
United States senate committee. The
average citizen has long since forgot
ten the edict and thousands daily, it
is stated, have unwittingly violated
the decree.

FARMERS MUST UNITE
TO SOLVE PROBLEMS

Trenton, N. Farmers must or
ganize to solve their problems, de-
clared Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
in an address to the New Jersey ri
cultural convention
"You farmers have it within your
own power to meet and solve the
49, problem, !. fl st of all you
must organize" said Mr.. Hyde. "Then
through your own organizations, it
will be possible to set up an instru-
mentality that will enter the markets
of the world in the sole interests of
agriculture"
The secretary's speech sounded like
advice that trade unionist gives to
a group of unorganized workers.

THE HONESTEST MAN
BY THE VETERAN

"Doc" Mullet did look like an hon.
est man. But there ought to be some
thing-like what they dip into bat
terry to find out if it is good-that you
could stick into man to get at the
real solution that he carries around
in his insides.
Doc himself believed that he was
honest. He said so. And, according
to his lights, his training and his way
of looking at things, he probably was
relatively speaking-an honest man.
He had the judicial temperament
except when he became excited.
He was six feet tall and weighed
about 1870 pounds. His hair was
blonde, and his small, brown eyes
were set little too close to his long
nose to be symmetrical-even in his
long face. He was long every way
except on quick action. His wife
Pauline-whom some of the lighter
boys called Purline-could be heard
at almost any time chanting her re-
frain of Hurry up, Doc" She was
seventeen, and his opposite in COM
plexion and temperament. He was
twenty, and they had been married
almost year.
Doc was talking about settling up
a little account, which was about to
be closed. He had not done what he
agreed to do; he had received more
than was coming to him-and he had
done all that he intended to do about
the whole matter SO he said, "They's
nothing / want but what belongs to
me. | dom aim to owe no man. |
re'un (Doc never said "reckon") | am
the honestest man in the world, that
a-away."
Well, / knew Doc had no money
with which to pay and square up. |
knew that when he got little money
Pauline would beat him to the spend
ing of most of it. And SO | had
neither the occasion-nor had | the
heart-to disturb that sublime self
consciousness of innate integrity, just
for the sake of few little dollars
which | couldn't collect anyway.
On a previous evening Doc and |
were listening to story told by
Clarence, of how one night the latter
and another boy were at the produce
market with load of garden truck
for the man for whom they worked.
They were about ready to go home,
when buyer came along and wanted
to know the price on three crates of
which stood on the truck
next to theirs. The cucumber man
was away somewhere; but the other
boy spoke up, said Clarence, and told
him the price was $3.50 crate. The
going price was $3.50 a crate. and the
buyer snapped it up quick, saying,
Here's your money"
Then the other boy said, "We want
to pull out of here. We're through" "
''And when | asked him what about
the cucumbers," said Clarence, che
give me two dollars to keep my mouth
shut and we went home"
Doc had been bent over forward
in his chair, listening intently. AS
the story ended, he relaxed, leaned
back, and with his best judicial man.
ner he said, "That want fair. Hit
want right. An | wou'nt have done
ike what you said you done, neither,
Cla'ence-unless he had give me
nalf."
And | could but agree, that the
other boy had not done what was
light. Could you?
