( SEEHUWANG^ Science May Dictate 8 Ize and Weight . . o f the Race Declares Doctor. Jacobs. Philadelphia,—That science is on the threshold o f discoveries whictu will make it possible to. retard o r has­ ten the growth, o f human, beings was the statement made by Dr. M. W* Ja­ cobs, He asserted- that experiments with rats’ have'proved that animals fed on certain proteins for extended' periods maintain a constant weight, but as’ soon as other necessary consti­ tuents are'added growth Is resumed.. He cited one instance in which a rat was kept stunted for 532 days, an age Corresponding to about forty-five years in human life. By changing the diet growth was permitted to develop that would normally have taken place in youth. “We have it in our power,” said Doc­ tor Jacobs, ‘'to pay whether an animal shall do its growing in youth or old age, o r whether it shall have several periods Of growth. This being true, it is not too much to expect that the ultimate -outcome of such work will be the scientific control of the force’s of organic growth even in human be­ ings.’’ Our Clearance Sale ISNOWG0ING~0N Everything Is Reduced Suits, O ’Coats, Hats, Caps and Furnishings for Man or Boy 20 * W e Give S.

It lit a horrible invaston, far worse than the other. All ' our trenches, communication trenches, fields, woods, houses, dug- outs i..,d shelters are full o f them. Home of them hold meetings and con­ ference* on the roads during the night, others give concerts in every house in the most populous villages and towns. You literally have to walk on them. They attack our billets like the Germans attacked on the Yser, in solid masses. On the whole front there are only two places where they dare not come—the hills o f Sparge* and Tahure. "They have been made desperate by hunger and now tbey are afraid of nothing. The other morning X saw a dispatch rider whose motorcycle tires had been eaten by the rats, and many o f us have found that during the night they have eaten our emer­ gency rations which we keep in our inside pocket*. Woe to the soldier who fall* asleep with a piece o f choc­ olate in his trousers’ pocket. He is euro to wake up without hi* chocolate and almost without his’ trousers, ‘’Unlike the Germans the rats are able to invent all kinds o f devilish ruses, The German soldier Is a well- trained and well-oiled piece o f ma­ chinery, which always runs in exactly tho same groove. He makes war to­ day exactly as ho did sixteen months, ago, he is a stupid brute Who has only two kinds o f maliciousness. The methods o f the rats are Infinite in their variety and they adapt them­ selves to all circumstances o f the fighting. I shall give one example, "Long ago it was found necessary to discontinue issuing sugar, coffee, salt and spices direct to the .soldiers Individually because the rats looked upon these articles as most excellent aperitifs. Then these articles o f food wore put up in small boxes, one for each company, and We invented all kinds of devices to keep them safe, preferably suspending them from a wire at least a yard above the floor. Nevertheless, the rjats very soon found a way to get at the sugar. They sim­ ply gnawed a hole in the ceiling, let themselves slfdo down the wire to the bpx and had it emptied in no time, • "We shall get the Germans some day, for against them we have Father Joffre, hut there is absolutely nothing to show that w* shall ever get the best o f the rats, against 'which we have nothin* but pamphlets.

They may work all right against rats in time o f peace, but they are. abso­ lutely no good against war rats, Which are as big as rabbits and which look upon Scientific prescriptions a* mere scraps of paper* “A* a matter o f fact we have in­ vented better metliodi of fighting them ourselves, but so far they are still on the whole having it their own way. "It is really necessary to have two kinds o f sentries—one t o shoot Ger­ mans and another to kill rats, and the latter has by far the worst Job. “We only hope that some day we shall find that all our rats have run over to the Germans, It would be a most satisfactory arrangement for them both, tor the Germans who are hungry could then eat rats and the rats that are bora hungry could eat Germans," PLUCKS DIVORCE FROM ASHES Suspicious Wife Rescues Incriminat­ ing Post Card From the fitove, Sacramento, Cal.—Because her hus­ band received a postal card, signed "Lulu,” seeking to make a luncheon engagement with him, and ‘because be told his wife he no longer eared for her, Mrs. Lillie Dunlap was granted an Interlocutory decree o f divorce from L, J£.
