Bring Dead to Life
With Late Devices
One- Stimulates Heart, An
other Restores Breathing.
Ne%v York. ? Nearly 500 persons ap
parently dead have been brought back
to life in New York and Chicago- by
two of the sclent I tic instruments re
cently devulopet| by physicians.
Many of these 500 were quite literal
ly "dead" by ordinary tests ? a few of
them new-born babies whose bodies
had been laid aside with the last hope
given up.
The 500 .were restored not only to
life but to health. They are the an
swer, of organized medicine to spectacu
lar ideas of reviving dogs, suicides and
executed criminals. They are the prac
tical application of the same knowl
edge which is being used for the more
sensational experiments.
The Immediate objective is an an
nual company of American "dead"
about equaling the number of antomo
1)1 le fatnlltles. ' It is believed that as
many as 50,000. In this group could be
saved yearly If the new devices
reached them soon enough.
Gold Needle Saves.
There is no progress yet toward
restoring to lite the person who has
died of a wasting disease ? nor any
?wish by physicians to attempt It.
About liOO of those brought back to
life here and in Chicago were treated
?with the artificial pacemaker, a gold
needle which stimulates heart beats
with electrical Impulses at the rate
of '30 to 120 n minute.
This needle was brought out two
years ago by the Wltkiu foundation
of lieth David hospital, New York
?city. It grew out of the fact that up
to 1930 about 00 persons, apparently

by hypodermic injections directly Into
their hearts.
Adrenalin was frequently used, but
oven a "shot" of calteln similarly given
restored some of the "dead." This all
called attention to a mighty effort which
nature herself makes In every heart,
In the first IK) seconds after It stops, to
got It to resume boating.
The heart quickly loses alkalinity,
and its acidity rises. With rising
acidity the heart becomes a better con
ductor of electricity, its own natural
control Is partly electrical, with ex
ceedingly faint chemical-electric cur
rents.
Gives Electric Shock.
The prick of a needle, without any
hypodermic at all, Is an electric shock
to a heart in tills condition. Realiza
tion brought the protection of the "ar
lllicial pacemaker" to supply electric
Impulses.
It was found, also that the heart
has an electrical pacemaker of its own,
a small group of cells In the right
auricle, which seem to regulate the
boat of the entire heart muscle. The
gold electrical noodle Is used to sub
stitute for these pacomaklng colls.
Use of the needle tip there, instead
of haphazardly about the hoart ap
pears to be frequently the direct source
of recovery of life and permanent
health.
The other new device for restoring
the "dead" Is an Insufflator, sponsored
by the society for the prevention of
asph.vxlal death. It Is a pressure ap
paratus for mechanical breathing,

Insufflation forces oxygen and car
bon dioxide Into the lungs. Moreover
It mixes them when necessary In pro
portions to stimulate as well as give
the ordinary effects of air.

Keeping Young
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
How old are you? Rlrthdays come
and go. We either celebrate or forget
them depending on
our mood. Age Is
not a matter of
years. It Is an at
titude of mind. At
forty, with Ideals
crushed and all
hope lost, we cer
tainly could not
help feel inn old.
If there is no "for
ward glance" then
age has already
settled upon us.
Hut why should n
person permit such
attitude to doml
unite his mind? At throe score years
a i) d ten we could be seventy years
young as well as seventy years old.
Perhaps a few suggestions for keep
ing young may not he amiss, especial
ly as the work of 11K15 lies before us.
One of the most Important mistakes
to avoid is the tendency to worry.
Worry is like sand in a piece of ma
chinery. It creates friction, retards
progress, and may ultimately wreck
the machine. If you must worry, then
set aside a certain hour In each day
for that purpose. Do It all at once,
and then forget It. Next In Importance
Best in Canada
Harold Webster, fort y-yenr-old mnra

would be relaxation. We may become
so engrossed In our business affairs as
to grow old and stale on' the Job. Get
away from It long enoutfft'td study It
from a distant point of view. You wjll
take on fresh courage and new hope.
It Is possible that you will discover
n solution for your problem which
could not he scon before because yon
were too near It. Take time to play.
"All work and no play, makes Jack a
dull boy." Cultivate' the humor In life.
A good hearty laugh is the best possi
ble tonic. Develop a sincere apprecia
tion of friendship. A man to have
friends must show himself friendly.
Live close enough to nature to learn
the secrets of perennial youth. Have
a garden In the summer time no matter
how sm<ill may be the parcel of ground
upon which your home Is built. Guard
your health. It Is your most valuable
possession. In other words, the secret
of keeping young Is
To live In deeds not yenrs, In thoutchts
not breaths,
In feelings and not In flRiires on a dial.
We should connt time by heart tju'obs.
Ha most lives who thinks most, feels
the noblest, ac*a the host.

Tjfis Tester Bedstead Is Fitted With Casters Which Are
Correct for All Types of Bedsteads.
MOST pieces of furniture should
he provided with casters or
gliders so that they can he moved eas
ily. This being the case, It Is well tr>
-consider the comparative virtues of
each kind of fitting. There Is a ten
dency toward using gliders In prefer
ence to casters although certain arti
cles nre exempt from this vogue. Bed
steads should Iflive casters, so also
should davenports, day beds, and
heavy furniture such as sideboards,
dining tables, etc. Lighter pieces Such
as chairs. smaller tables. piano
benches etc., ere well suited to the
glider fittings.
Casters raise furniture perceptibly
while gliders do not. Neither nre the
latter visible, while casters are unless
they are those which do not swivel,
and these are not satisfactory usually.
The reason for this Is that the piece
of furniture Is easily movable In one
direction only. Also the casters have
an Inclination to scrape in moving the
other direction. When buying furni
ture fitted with enstors be sure that
they are swivel casters and then you
will have no dlfllculty in moving it In
any direction.
Height of Furniture
The matter of casters raising furni
ture should be remembered since this
Is taken Into consideration In the
making of- some pieces and so they
are at the correct height only when
on casters. Sometimes chairs so con
structed have had the casters removed
and gliders put on in order for them
to match the fittings of other pieces
in the room. The actual comfort of
the chairs Is not altered, but tho per
son sitting down In such n chair may
bo slightly surprised to find It lower
than expected, and many a person
finds these lowered chairs not so easy
to get out of. It Is not hard to pick
out chairs which have had casters
changed to gliders. To the Initiate
they appear shorn of a needed fitting.
However It Is true that the invisible
element of gliders Is desirable In
chairs.
Metal casters are preferable to
wooden ones which In time and with
wear will lose tlielr fully circular
shape which the metnl ones seldom
do. Gliders nre merely disks of pol
ished metal. They must be absolutely
smooth at rims as well as on surfaces.
