APES HELP MEN
TO OUTWIT AGE
Paris Doctor Says Grafting of
Tissues Brings Back
Youth.
EXPERIMENTS ARE SUCCESS
Interstitial Glands Are Taken From
Apes for Use in Treating Human
Beings—Operation Is Quite
Simple.
'
Paris.—Restoration of youth is no
lunge* an uncertainty, !>ui by grafting
of new interstitial glands is as sure
as the rules of chemistry, l)r. L. 11.
Voronoft declared.
Dr. VoronolT, director of the physio
logical laboratory of the College of
France, says the operations are simple.
The interstitial glands are taken
from apes for use in treating human
beings.
“A local anesthetic is till that is
necessary," Dr. Voronoft said. “It is
merely a task of opening the skin, in
serting the new tissue, sewing up the
slight wound, and nature does the
rest.”
"Seven months ago," continued Dr.
VoronolT, “I operated on a well known
Parisan man of affairs, who at the
ago of (k> was in a decrepit state. The
experiment was a complete success.
Though his hair remains white and
his face is wrinkled, he walks erect,
his mind is as active and his appetite
is as good as that of a young man.
Defies Age With Another.
"Three months ago 1 performed a
similar grafting operation on another
aged man. Everything in his case in
dicates the result will lie the same, hut
it is too early as yet to give a state
ment ns to his reneweii vitality.
“The secret of my method Is based
on the following general knowledge:
In various parts of the body, nature
lias provided glands which secrete
fluids having vital functions in human
organism. For Instance, if I remove
the thyroid gland from a man's neck,
he will become an Idiot within six
months. Also when the interstitial
glands, which manufacture fluid which
is absorbed by the blood, and thus
gives to the whole body its vitality, be
come worn out or are removed, the
whole body falls into decay.
“Foreign tissues, which have thus
l»een introduced into a worn-out sys
tem are nourished by the blood circu
lation of the body which is the new
home for the tissues. In turn the tis
sues manufacture a vital fluid, which
circulating til rough the body, restores
its youthful vigor.
"Some of my most productive exper
iments were carried out on an aged
ram. The ram at 14 corresponded in
age to a man at 7S, In so far ns th<>
exhaustion of organisms is concerned.
“Taking the aged, decrepit rani in
May, litis, I put Into ids body inter
slit iai glands taken from a young ram.
Within two months he had regained
ids youthful vigor and activities.
“Then, in order to prove it was not
merely a matter of good care that had
caused the change, 1 removed the
grafted glands, I found them in per
fect state, ns they had not been com
pletely assimilated by the renewed or
ganism.
Age FJeclaims Victim.
“The ram immediately aged and bo
enrae even more decrepit than before.
1 once more introduced the glands
from a young goat, which again pro
duced youth and vigor.
“There will not bo the slightest dan
ger to human beings because of the
monkey tissues which I use in treat
ing them. A monkey's blood very
closely resembles that of man. Hence
the tissues of the ape are perfectly
adapted for grafting on human beings.
“There is no danger of thereby bru
tniizing human beings. S > fur, my ex
periments in this direction are con
i ihK'd largely to rejuvenating wormnit
: organisms. I am convinced the idea is
j practicable. 1 do not guarantee I have
: found the solution for senile decay. My
| works are of an experimental nature,
and 1 am continuing my iuvestign
t tions.”

Bureau in Chicago Shows Good
Record in Helping Dis
charged Men.
PLANNED BY GENERAL WOOD
Of the Men Seeking Employment
94.3 Per Cent Have Found It
Through the Instrumentality
of the Bureau.
Chicago.—From n report just Issued
by the bureau for returning soldiers
and sailors and marines in this city,
it is possible to get adequate informa
tion concerning what has been done in
behalf of those of our returned de
fenders who have sought employment
and other aid.
In the district of which Chicago is
the headquarters, the plan of the bu
reau for giving assistance to dis
charged service men was formed by
MuJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, who acts as
the chairman of the headquarters com
mittee, and who from the tirst lias
taken personal Interest In the work.
The bureau was established Inst April
and its records today show that 43,345
service men have registered at bead
quarters. Of tliis number 32,259 asked
I
for assistance in obtaining employ
ment. At the present time the files
of the bureau show that only 2,230
men still remain on the "not hired"
list. This means that 94.3 per cent of
the men seeking employment have
found it through the instrumentality
of the bureau.
Rumors Are Refuted.
There have been rumors which some
people have been busy in passing
along to the effect that bureaus for
aiding tiie soldiers and sailors to get
re-established in civil life were not do
ing adequate work. To a considerable
extent this sort of thing, it is said
has been propaganda for no good pur- i
pose. So far as the district which has j
Chicago for its headquarters is con- i
corned, the attested records which
show that 94.3 per cent of the appli
cants have found work', speak for
!ll<h)selvos.
In the daily life of the bureau there
is much to be found of human interest.
Of the 43,345 men who registered
about 8,000 asked for assistance along
lines other than that of employment.
They wanted to secure vocational
training, to bo given information con
cerning educational work, and In some
cases there were requests for clothing
and for temporary loans. Every case
was met. Out of tin* great number of
men who applied at the bureau only
438 actually needed food. Iletween
3,000 and 4,900 of the men did not
know how to secure their bonuses
from the government. Every man was
told how to go at it and every man got
his money. Of the applicants for as
sisiance 3.50*3 have entered courses o*
vocational training.
Much of Interest.
The activities of the bureau ns they
have pone on day by day are interest
ing to watch. From the returned sol
diers and sailors one sets the aftor
the-war viewpoint. The conitnenls on
the war and its aftermath and the
conclusions which the men have drawn
show almost in variably thoughtful
consideration of the problems involved.
Col. Halstead Dorey, who served
with ihe Third Division in France and
who was four times wounded, is ac
tively in charge of the Chicago bu
reau. With him are Maj. John s.
Bonner, who formerly was a United
Stales consul, and I.ietit. \V. K. Stan
ley. an aid de camp of .Maj. Celt. !.<»■ m

ernor Stanley of Kansas.

GERMANY SEEKS LOST TRADE
Would Regain Her Prewar Place in
Commercial World—Cunning
Is Shown
Brussels.—Signs are not lacking 1
here of the attempt being made by
Germany to regain the place in the
commercial world which she lost
through the war.
Goods now In the market In Belgium
are often typically German. They are
supposed to have been Introduced se
cretly Into the country via neutrals
such its Holland and the Scandinavian
countries.
One outstanding feature of these
goods, however. Is the disappearance
of the German trademark, hut the
German cunning does not halt tit this.
The Imperial crowns are now replaced
by American eagles in tin attempt to
make the goods pass off ns American,
while others hear British and French
trademarks. The names of German
firms are completely absent hut the
manufacture is too typically German
to go undetected.
CUTS BARLEY S BEARD
Professor Performs Feat of
Benefit to Farmers.
University of Alberta Agronomists
Pcmove the Barb From
Whiskers of Grain.
Edmonton. Alberta.—Trimming tlit
board of barley is the accomplishment
claimed by the agronomists at the
University of Alberta this summer.
Specifically what they did was to at
tempt to remove the beard altogether,
succeeding only in taking the barb
out of the beard. This, it was de
clared. Is of Immense potential agri
cultural benefit.
It Is the barb In barley that makes
; all the trouble In handling and feed
ing the grain, it is said, and unsuc
cessful efforts have been made for
years both In Canaria and the United
States, to remove the beard. Hut with
the barb gone the experts say the
beard doesn’t particularly matter
It the Halms made for the improved
barley are borne out authorities |,0|,|
it may become a staple varleu ,t
western Canada. Two varieties
barley are grown in Alberta—the t«(,
rowed and six-rowed. The former is
used for beer-making', but si.\.n,wed
barley is the chief crop of central
Alberta for feeding purposes, j, j ”.

regions, and yields from -Jo h)
bushels to the acre.
