Medical men . will be interested as scientists in the purported discovery by a Russian research worker of a serum to prolong human life to 150 years, but the ordinary layman will be interested from the more personal point of view. Would it be worth it? Granted that by use of this serum, a man might still be in his prime at 75 and only approach senility and his dottage at 140 years, what benefits would he derive from such a miracle? Perhaps, as Bernard Shaw suggested, this would be a much -to -be -desired state` of affairs. A man couldspend possibly 80 years making money,` 40 years in reaching wisdom, and finally the remaining 30 years in spending his money wisely and doing good ac- eording'to his long years of experien- ce. It was Shaw's belief that a man could hardly expect to attain wisdom within the, period of life ordinarily allotted to him in these days, the Biblical three -score -and -ten. This theory is attractive on the basis that a man by mere living would achieve wisdom, but that would not necessarily be so. We have known old men who failed in .such an attain- ment, if indeed they ever sought it. The: new serum, said to be the discov- ery of Dr. Alexander A. Bogomolets, is reported to be a sort of universal elixir with the multiple properties of healing, destroying noxious microbes, forming hormones, forming•bone and elastic tissues, and generally fortify- ing man against disease. In this as- pect itwould be ofmuch benefit but if its effept was no more thaln to give a man 150 years—it would be a rash man who would use it. V Congratulations,,,to Mr. and Mrs. Win. Baker, of town, who on Tues- day, March '7th, observed the ;56th anniversary of their wedding. .

That means a lot of woollens, • Such was the comment of Women's Committee, Ontario Division, Navy League, on learning of the latest official figures as to Canada's naval personnel. "Therefor, we women of the Navy League in the province, members and supporters both, must do something drastic to meet the increasing de- nand' for woollens. "Our young nen are patriotic enough to join up: the thousands to serve' the cause of freedom and to defend us and we cannot, to say the least, let them suffer more than they need to from exposure. "Turtle -neck sweaters, pullovers, mitts, scarves, socks, leather and felt vests can provide quite a lgt of protection toour men on those long patrols of the North Atlantic and to Africa. In fact they can provide such efficient protection as to mean the difference between a common cold and pneumonia and perhaps death. "Socks, mitts, sea -boot stockings wear out quickly and ,it takes a lot of them and other woollen articles to properly ,fill the needs of ..well over a hundred thousand sailors and merchant seamen," it was pointed out. "No one who' realizes however slightly, the debt we owe our men of the sea (1200 risen of the R. 0. N., and 1400 merchant seamen have given their lives for us to date), can fail to rally round at a time like'this." V Never undervalue yourself-.tlre' world will do that for you. Charity becomes briberyas soon as you use it as a bait, If any man seeks greatness,; lot him forget greatness • and. ask for' truth; and he willfind both. -Horace Mann.
