Paris Doctor Says Grafting of

Youth.

Simple.
Paris. Restoration of youth Is no
longer nn uncertainty, but by grafting
of new IntorKtltlul glands In iih sure
as the rules of chemistry, Dr. L. II.
Voronoff declared.
Dr. VoronolT, director of the physio
logical laboratory of the College of
France, ayH the operations are simple.
The Interstitial glands are taken
from apes for use In treating humunj
beings.
"A local nncsthctlc Is all that la
necessary," Dr. VoronolT 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.
Voronoff, "I operated on a well known
I'arlsan man of affairs', who at the
age of GO 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 mouths ago I performed a
slmllnr grafting operation nn another
aged man. Everything in his case in
dicates the result will be the same, but
It Is too early as yet to give a state
ment aa to his renewed vitality.
"The secret of my method Is based
on the following general knowledge:
In various parts of the body, nature
has 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
como worn out or are removed, the
whole body falls into decay.
"Foreign tissues, which huve thus
been Introduced Into a worn-out sys
tem nre nourished by the blood circu
lation of the body which is the new
home for tho tissues. In turn the tis
sues manufacture 11 vital fluid, which
circulating through tho body, restores
Its youthful vigor.
"Sonic of my most productive exper
iments were carried out on an aged

of the bureau show that only 2.250
men still remain on the "not hired"
list. This means that 04.11 per cent of
tho men seeking employment have
found It through the Instrumentality
of the bureau.
Rumors Are Refuted.
There have been rumors which some
people hnve been busy Iti passing
along to the effect that bureaus for
aiding tho 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
pose. So far as the district which has
Chicago for Its headquarters Is con
cerned, the attested records which
show that 01.8 per cent of the appli
cants have found work, speak for
themselves.
In the dnlly life of the bureau there
Is much to be found of human interest.
Of the 4.'l,:i4r men who registered
about 8,000 asked for asslstnnco along
lines other than that of employment,
They wanted to secure vocational
training, to be given Information con
corning educational work, and In somn
enses there wore requests for clothing
nnd for temporary loans. Every case
was met. Out of thu great number ot
men who applied at the bureau only
43S actually needed food. Between
fl.000 and 4,000 of the men did not
know how to secure their bonuses
from the government. Every man wns
told how to go at It and overy man got
his money. Of the applicants for as
sistance !l,r00 have entered courses of
vocational training.
Much of Interest.
The nc'Ivltlos of tho bureau as they
have gone on day by day are Interest
ing to watch. From the returned sol
diers and sailors one gets the nfter-tho-war
viewpoint. The comments on
tho war and Its aftermath and the
conclusions which the men have drawn
show almost Invariably thoughtful
consideration of the problems Involved.

(Propared by the United States Depart

Interstate shipments of eggs are" be
ing watched closely during the hot
months by federal food Inspectors of
the department of agriculture, In order
that appropriate nctlon may be taken
when such shipments violate tho law.
Shipments containing eggs which
have yolks stuck to the shell, moldy
eggs, black spots, mixed rots, addled
eggs, nnd any other eggs which are
filthy, decomposed or putrid, are In
violation of the law.
Careful candling before shipment
will enable dealers to eliminate the
bad eggs. The elimination of the
spoiled or partially spoiled eggs be

hazard of violating federal and state
food laws, but It Is economical in that
It snves shipping charges on eggs like

of all eggs placed on sale.
Directions as to how to candle eggs,

wns alarming," he said. "Scarcely any of them hnd any kind of training un

fifteen days' training.
"I have been told that sonic of our men In this latest war were sent to tho

"No. Militarism Is rule by soldiers in authority. There is not tho slight

U. S. Population Shifts in War, Census Shows
STRIKING changes In the growth and character of the population of the
United States nre expected to be shown by the 1020 census, prepara
tions for which arc under way. The shifting of population becauso of tho
war bus upset tho calculations of cen
sus experts, who slnco 1017 have con
sidered It useless to attempt to esti
mate population of any other units
than states. Before that It was pos
sible to predict with n fair degree of
accuracy tho number of persons in any
given locality.
The "center of population," It Is
believed, has stopped its westward
movement, which was continuous from
1700 to 1010, when It was located In
Bloomlngton, Ind. This Is because
Industrial cities In the central East, such ns Cleveland nnd Detroit, have been
growing nt n greatly Increased rate during the recent years, as have manu
facturing centers further east. Formerly, the Rocky mountain nnd Paclfic
coast states Increased in population with twice the rapidity of eastern and
central states.
During this year, however, certain modifications of tho unusual situation
may be made. The opening of reclamation projects in the West, the resump
tion of immigration, nnd other causes, it is thought, will chnngo the abnormal
distribution. There will also be n tendency to return to normal now that the
wnr is ended.
Pronounced changes nre expected also in tho "constitution of the popula
tion" the ratio of males to femnles, tho proportions of nntlvo nnd forelgni
stock and the age distribution.
Every Person in U. S. Has an Ugly Rat to Kill
THERE is n rat for every person in the United States. If every man, woman

setting aside n dally rat fund of one-
or brown rat, the common black rat and the Alexandrian rat, which Is a
particularly mean boast of untidy habits and a native disregard for the most
elemental of the niceties of life.
The Norway rat is the largest and most ferocious of America's rodents.
He'll eat anything, not stopping nt a very small child If particularly hungry.
Ho has been pretty well killed off nnd the government adjures all of us who
see him to attack at once and crush him. Tho black rat and the Alexandrian
have been confined by various household and bnrnynrd traps, poisons nnd
other exterminators to the water fronts of s,ca ports. They are all aliens, their
ancestors having come from Egypt, Norway and other old world countries ns
far back as the days of John Smith nnd Salem witchcraft.
Tho United States public health service doesn't limit rat killing to any
stated methods, but says that rat proofing one's home nnd bnrns and granaries
Is more effective than trusting to rut catchers mechanical or animal traps
or poisons. First rat proof yo'ur buildings, then go out after tho rat in tho
open.
Under tho shibboleth "Rout tho Rat," the Public health service has issued,
rules, chief of which Is "Demand city antirat ordinances and state antlrat

Demonstrates Value of American Citizenship
a NOT11ER etep was taken n few days ago In the race to save n great fortuno
ri. when the senate adopted the joint resolution restoring to citizenship
Frances Scovllle-Muunn. The house will be urged to act with haste. This is
tho second time in legislative history
here that a womnn has been repatriat
ed by act of congress. The other case
was that of Nellie Grant Sortorls when
Bho returned from England.
Mrs. Mumm Is the daughter of C.
C. K. Scovllle, a banker of Sallnn, Kan.
While traveling In Europe she met
Wnlthcr Mumm, u German subject af
filiated with the great champagne-making
family of that name. Ills business
Interests hnd caused him to reside lu
Franco for 20 years. Tho marriage
was an international social event. When the war began Mumm returned to
Germany, while tho wife remained In Franco and rendered service to tho
allied armies as a nurse. She and her husband reached nn agreement which
was filed at tho American legation In Berne, under which she was to rccelvo
ii share of his estate. It was Impossible for her to reach the German courts
or nuply for a divorce lu them.
Under the peace treaty tho property of German citizens wns subject to
confiscation In France. Such procedure would cause Mrs. Mumm to lose her
shun;, which Is said to bo n large sum. Representations were made to tho
French authorities and regret was expressed by tnem that no alternative
remained but loss for her under the present circumstances. It was pointed
out that if she were an Amcricnu citizen tho situation would be entirely
different.
Mrs. Mumm hastened hero and Senator Capper introduced n Joint resolu
tion restoring her citizenship. If this can be accomplished before her hus
band's property Is confiscated her sharo will not bo uffected by the peace
treaty.
Tho case is being eagerly watched by others whose Interests have become
Involved because of property holdings In Germany ana other countries which
