All we can do Is to hung on |nd tight," declared Mr. Campbell. He stated that 1922 was a better year than 1921 for the millers, but that the railroad strike last summer at the time grain should have been mov ing had been a severe check, and that as soon ns France invaded the Ruhr there was a general bearish wave noticeable all over the country in grain. Exports of wheat fell off 1.000,000 bushels last week,” he said, ■'and due to the constant overloading of the domestic market this European disturbance affects the industry vitally."

No Fount of Youth, Says Noted Specialist Here _ ___ _ _ Gland Operation Won’t Ward Off Old Age, As serts Dr. C. H. Mayo. "There is no fountain of youth." This was the reply of Dr. C. H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., to a ques tion regarding the effect of new glands on the human body. Dr. Mayo asserted that while "some may be made to believe they are younger tpr a time, A is the law of the universe that we shall be no younger than our years." He made reservations, however. "Old age possibly may be prema ture because of failure to care for health In youth. The community Is feeling, in these days, responsible for the education of youth: it should feel just as responsible for the health of youth." Praises Work in Omaha. Dr. Mayo was asked if he would advise the wealthy man to place per haps $1,000,000 aside for «i gland operation when old age threatened. "Yes,” was hts reply. "Provided this $1,000,000 would go to charity and the education of youth In health matters if the operation failed to produce youth.” Dr. Mayo advocated dental and medical supervision In schools under control of boards of education. "You seem to be doing much In I this line in Omaha," he said. "There | are not enough doctors and nurses. to care for people. 1 believe the re-1 quirements for nursing are too high and that nurses should have to spend unly three months on probation and two years in the fundamentals of nursing. Of course they should be urged to study another year, but Jt should not be compulsory. ^ Would Shorten Course. "Doctors, I am inclined to think, J should be permitted to practice at j the completion of a three year course, but given Incentive to complete an other year's work. It would mean more doctors to care for sufferers from ill health." » Dr. Mayo was to speak at the ban quet in Hotel oFntenelle last night, given by Creighton university for the American Institute of Dental Teachers.
