J'i' CALLS FOR- BRAKE Middle -Aped M an Sofd Slow .• Up Wheels of Time: Is Living In Hope That Sonia Man Will Devise a Workable Scheme for Renewing One's Lease of" Life,; and Do it Quickly. "What we really need," said the middle-aged man,. "Is some way, of slowing up the wheels of time. "As every man who has begun to got on fu: life knows, the older we grow the faster time seems to ;fly. In our youth even single - days seem to be endless; but when we get to be about so old the years go so fast tient they seem to spin around like ` pin- wheels. "There was once an advertiser with aP atent medicine tb sellwho started off his advertisement by "describing himself as 'a retired physician whose sands prlife had nearly run out. A well-meaning friend`in the far West wrote to him saying that if he would mix a little molasses with the sands they wouldn't run out so fast. "Of course there was : an idea in that; but the minute you come to think it over seriously' you see that.there,is really nothing ..to it. ' To.; make the wheels of time turn slower "you'd have to have something more than molasses. I have thought that perhaps we might invent some sort ,Of braise, a very pow- erful brake, for this purpose, but I guess there's "really nothing in this idea, 'either.. ;'Lacicivg the means of making the wheels of time turn slower, so that we would seem to have more ilirne, I have thought that perhaps+ somebody may yet devise a way of renewing our lease of life. 'If we could get an in- definite renewal of our life lease we wouldn't care how fast the wheels turned, because we'd have endless years for them to turn in. "The man Amro could devise a work- able plan of this sort would get rich beyond any sort of dreams whatever; that is, if he could prolong his own Life as well as sell life -renewal leases to others; for I fancy that, hard as this world may be in some respects, the great majority of us would like to continue living in it a long, long time, and would give all we had for th:r' privilege. "For myself, I can say that I like the world very well and I would like ,to stay on it interminably. If there is anybody now worl.-ing on this tiro - lease -renewal device I hope he will get it running before the sands of my old- fashioned life shall have run out coin- pletely; and if .when he opens up for business he will let me know where to find him I shall go to him; and, if I have the price, take out as a first extension a renewal for about a cen- tury.,, Dealing With —the Ol euit. An astonishing number of books on occult subjects are being published in. these days, eslsecially on lines relating to the future life, the theme'` taking on a new interest because of the war and its losses. One writer, Prof. W. J. Crawford of Belfast, .Is dealing •with so-called, spirit manifestations in a new way. For one thing,' he has tried seating the medium on • rralghing ma- chine while the manifestations tire going on and watching the varying record of her weight. He has found` that where a chair or table was levi- tated an increase,in her weight almost corresponding to the weight of 'the piece of furniture was noted. When , there were, raplsings • her weight les sened,- the amount lost varying- with . the Intensity of .the sounds. What these phenomena indicate to his mind or what`lie expects to prove by them does not appear. Balzac Would Have Starved. Some of the geniuses of earlier gen- erations would have a hard time of it with civilian rations in Europe. Many of them are still remembered for their, appetites.,Thackeray and Dickens_ were both asterful,at the tables Bal- sac was equal to making a dinner of fight dozen oysters, twelve cutlets, a cluck, a pair of partridges, and all the customary "trimmings." Herbert Spencer once went upon a vegetable diet, and declared that "after he return- ed to meat he had to rewrite every thing he did in the interval to get virile Ity into it. itegardlessof the effect on genius, rationing is spreading.

Medical authorities have stated, "There is no knowing how far-reach- ing the results of the iallaei,za epi- demic will be." From the nature of the malady it is feared many cases of tuberculosis will develop. If you have not fully' recovered from the "flu," or you are run down in health from some other cause, seek a doctor at once. Con- sumption may have developed, but even that may be cured if taken in time. A case in point has recently been brought to our attention a farm laborer with a wife and five small children. He had not been feeling right for some months, not sick enough to go to bed, or stay indoors, but always tired. His daily work about the `farm had become a task to him. So of his own accord he went to the Muskoka Free Hos- pital, to try and find out what was the matter. Ile' was found to be suf- fering from tuberculosis, and was immediately` taken in and put to bed. The doctors say this man is making a good recovery,- and that he will shortly be able • to return home. ' The Muskoka Free. Hospital for Consumptives is now appealing for aid in fighting the Great White Plague. The money you give will help restore to health just such de- serving cases as this, bringing happi- ness untold to re -united families. Contributionsmay be sent to Sir William J.
