How Proper Diet Prolongs Life
DR. H. C. SHERMAN. Professor

DR. H. c.. SHERMAN. Professor
II of Chemistry at Columbia Uni
versity, says that the life span can
be heightened 10 per cent through
proper diet.
His formula for frightening life
is simple: Increase the proportion
of milk, vegetables and fruit in the
diet. These are the so-called PRO
tective foods"
Doctor Sherman has no rigid diet
schedule to propose. A fairly high
percentage of these protective
foods, plus grain products of which
q moderate proportion should be
the whole or slightly milled varie-
ties, plus liberal quantities Of milk
or milk products, are the essentials
Of his diet. If enough of the
protective foods are consumed, the
balance of required calories can be
regulated by the appetite.
DR.. Sherman's deductions are
based on his years of experimental
feeding of rats. His laboratory rec
ords contain histories Of some
$4,000 rats.
"For general purposes, increasing
the proportion of milk in the diet
should add to the length of life,"
he says. ''The grain crops are still
the staff of life of mankind in the
great majority of countries, includ-
ing our own. If even a moderate
proportion Is consumed in the so
called whole, or slightly milled, as
distinguished from highly milled
forms, this will usually insure am
pie intakes Of phosphorus, iron,
copper and manganese, and of vita
Minis B and E.
The even more important liber-
ality Of intake of calcium and vita
minis A, G and G is easily and
economically secured by taking a
moderately high percentage Of the
needed calories in the form of milk,
fruit, : vegetables and eggs. Milk
supplies all four Of the chemical

With the generally accepted be-
lief that longevity is a matter of

Sherman has only a slight quarrel.
He admits the importance of her
edity, but is convinced that the

E. c.: Tell me who sent me such
note and was it the doings Of one
person like I think?

money you can go to New York
and take up COMMERCIAL ART
as you have hoped to do.
A. A. A.: What does the party
mean anyway? Is he serious and
does he have cash or property?
Ans: He has VERY LITTLE of
both. He isn't as serious as he was
the first day you two met. Don't
make up your mind for another
three or four weeks.
M. B. A.: Please tell me just as
soon as you can if I will ever get
my money back again and should
I rely on what the lady has told
me?
Ans: 1t will take you several
months to collect the whole amount
of the money that you have ref

"Pieces of Eight" Known
in Time of Shakespeare

The Spanish peso or eight reals
OF the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
centuries circulated throughout the
American continent and was known
as the piece of eight" This name,
relates writer in the Detroit News,
is found in English literature as
early as Shakespeare's time. The
coin was worth approximately as
much as our dollar. Because of its
design, it is sometimes known as
the pillar dollar" and it has been
supposed by some that these pill
lars of Hercules" with the ribbon
about them gave rise to the dollar
sign. Webster's dictionary, howev-
er, shows that this was originally
a modification of CPS" Mexican alb
breviation of 'pesos" or "pias.
tres" The IS" was at first placed
above and to the right of the "P"
but later was lowered and twined
around that letter. Early manu-
scripts have shown the sign to be
the result Of evolution, independent
ly in different places. It was writ
ten after the numeral in Spanish
America, but before the mineral,
like the pound sign, by the English
colonists, and was widely used be-
fore the adoption of the United
States dollar in 1785. It is employed
also for the dollar in Canada, West
Indies, Hong Kong and Straits Set
Elements; for the peso in Argen-
tine, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Par
aguay, Uruguay; for the milreis
in Brazil; for the escudo in Portu-
gal; for the lempira in Honduras.

Mongols From Blue Wolf

Legend says the Mongols sprang
from a blue wolf. Certainly their
history Of ruthless conquest has done
much to foster that myth. They
were the soldiers Of Ghengis Khan
and his grandson, Kubla. The best
horsemen and on the finest steeds
in the world, they swept over all
Of Asia and part Of Europe. Eventu-
ally driven back, they became
peaceful goatherders who pitched
their tents at choice grazing spots.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September %
Bankers Of the Nation have been
charged by Leo T. Crowley of Wash
ington, chairman Of the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corp, with opposing
"vigorously-sometim even bitterly
every important reform"
Crowley told the Kentucky Bank
ers' Association in annual session yes
terday:
1T is natural to assume that bank
ers would realize that the purpose of
proposed reforms is to achieve re-
suits, not merely to undertake change
for changes sake
"Yet bankers, on the whole, have
opposed gorously-sometimes even
bitterly-every important reform that
has been introduced in this country
How much more valuable would this
expenditure of effort have been If
bankers had faced the facts, subordi-
mated their vested interests and waded
in themselves to achieve solution OF
their problems.
And how much misery and eco
nomic waste would have been spared
if bankers, supervisors and legislators
had taken the time to work out to-
gether sound operating basis
instead Of waiting for the economic
catastrophies to hold up the weakness
Of that system to the shriveling heat
of trial by fire and to the bitter gaze
of q disillusioned and impoverished
people"
The Deposit Insurance Corp. Crow
ley termed the most auspicious recent
development affecting bank super
vision
The F. D. I. c. chairman asserted
Government supervision was not aimed
at complete regimentation of the
banking profession. which he said
many bankers seem to fear.
supervisors clearly realize the dan
gers of an autocratic application OF
arbitrary standards =" Crowley
continued.
"Yet it is clear from our past ex-
perience that completely snarchistic,
unregulated the individualized pursuit
OF the banking business ends disas-
trously.
Somewhere between these extremes
of autocracy and anarchy exists =
middle road which leads to q sound
and prosperous banking system and to
safety for depositors. 1t is the road
We must find and follow"
