Kllen had the bowls now creamed, and
the piles of oat-bread and the stack of

time to dispute It.
Tomas and I attacked the pile and
the stack and the bowls of tea so brave-
Ir and sustained the attack so spirited-
Iv that It (ra little wonder Kllen ex-
pressed the opinion that she "wouldn't
like to be the altinc-house would do
big thrade with many such customers."
We didn't stoo to bandy compliments

remarks - during the demolition. He
said; , .
"Ma'am If what yer bread want In

I gave him an inquisitive look here-
HAS THE SEAT OF LIFE BEEN FOUND-Con-
turned From the First Page of This Section
It was the adrenal active principle, tiius
dUtributed'to all cells, which sustained
their life. Dr. Sajous has thus solved
simultaneously the problems of tissue
respiration and cellular life.
"Again, he found that tha purpose
-of the secretion of the thyroid gland, a
. very large group of blood vessels near
the larynx, was to excite a center in
the brain connected with the adrenals
-by nerves, and thatrlt was therefore by
' Rtlmulatlng indirectly the adrenals that
the thyroid extract produced its won
derful effects.
"It Is here that the great practical
Importance of Sajous' discoveries is
demonstrated. Not only did the find
that thyroid extract excited the adrenal
center, but that several of our reme
dies Iodine, the Iodide s, mercury, co
coa, and others did likewise.
. "The unexplained action of these
remedies In combating some of the most
destructive diseases of mankind thus
became clear; they increased the oxy
genlsing power of the blood and tne ac
tivity of the vital process, and thereby
the power of the body to fight dlsoaRe
and destroy bacteria, the poisons they
secrete and toxte wastes.
. "Now, as to the functions of the
leucocytes. The white cells of tho
blood bave been given several different
. roles bv physiologists, but Bajous was
the first to show their true function;
'the identity of that which causes them
to act as scavengers; to appeste-Jn gfaa-t"
riumbers in the blood under certain con
ditions, normal and morbid; and to con
tain digestive ferments.
"He showed that their role in the
body, was to lake up or ngulf food
Jiroducts of any kind, both in the intes
tinal canal, efter' the foods had been
partially digested In the stomach and
intestines, and In the blood and other
' body fluids; to convert these food pro
ducts into living granulations throuph
the adrenal principle whloh their fer
ments contain and to transport them
to the tissue cells.
t
I
Bajous thus contributed another
pra.t advance In our knowledge of cell
life; not only did he show the identity
and aoure.n of the i.ynnmio principle
which suutains life, but also the pro
cess through which our foods become
endowed with life. and. moreover, the
nami;r In wnich our tissues are built.
"He describes In detail all the MIs
Mses that are most fatal to mai.tlnd.
and .shows conclusively that vrhesjver
' cure had been effected by remedies. It
; was through agents which, by stimulat
. ink the organs referred to, Increased the
blood's asset in auto-antltoxln the
name given by him to the antitoxin
which oun body produces to antagonize
disease.
,. "But how does anto-antltoxin destroy
f dangerous organisms, the toxins thy
secrete poisons, the toxic products of
chemicftV changes? Bajous shows that
this differs in no way from the pro
cess of digestion, and that if auto-antl-toxln
la present In excess in the blood,
1h red corpuscles themselves may. be
digested."
Why, when the great medical jour
nals joined In such a chorus of lauda
tion, when great practitioners found
themselves constrained te give the work
the cachet of their approval, has it re
mained until now so litUe known, so
narrowly appreciated?
,' The answer must be paradoxical; H
is too Important to have its importance
immediately comprehended.

fe first outlines were made public and
when months have passed since' the
whole astounding series of discoveries
was made known, does tits inertia, of a
Vrofeasiun give evidence of betna
swayed.
And this tn spite of the netable fact
that Dr. Sajous, instead of disputing the
j.revlously accepted treatment, screes

Oslerism a Mistake.
It appears that to backseat men at 40
would simply rob ths world of most of
its masterpieces, the creation of which
depends on tb,e Intellect. An Interest
ing article in the Century gives tho
average "ga at which the best work
in various lines lias been produced.
According te the writer of the article
the records give an average age of 60
for the performance of the maeter,work.
For workers the average age is 47 an l
for thinkers 62. Chemists snd phy
sicists average the youngest, reaching
their highest efficiency at 41. which
may account for the theories of nr.
Osier.
Dramatists and playwrights, poets and
Inventors follow at 44; novelists glvj
an average of 49; explorers and war
riors, 47; musloal composers and act
ors, 4S; artists snd divines occupy the
position of equilibrium at 60; essayists
ana reformers siana at 61 ; physicians
and surgeons line up with the states
men at 62; philosophers give an average
pf (4) astronomers and mathematicians,
Satirists and humorists, 56; historians,
7: naturalists and Jurists. (8.
"As may be noted," gays the writer,
"there is a rearrangement of the order
at this time, but the thinkers, as be
fore, and as would naturally be ex
peoted, attain their full maturity at a
later period than the workers. The
corollary 4s evident. Provided health
and optimism remain the man of SO can
command success as readily as the man
of JO."
