C. S. AH the great material inven tions of the last hundred years, added together, don’t compare in human value to the incredible discoveries of the medical scien tists. One hundred years ago we crossed the ocean—when we did cross it—in sailing ships. We crossed the great plains of the West in prairie schooners. When we had to communicate with any one who was out of earshot, we did so by letters which were car ried by stagecoach or by mounted rider. When we plowed our fields our only power was old Dobbin. When we pulled down the shades in the evening, we lived by lamp or candle light. Stoves and open fireplaces were the only means we had for keeping the house warm; and what we call “plumb ing” was undreamed of. We didn’t have electrical appli ances in those days, or automo biles or airplanes: but we did have smallpox and diptheria and bubonic plague and typhus and typhoid and yellow fever, and we didn’t know much about prevent ing them or curing them. One hundred years ago a man was “middle-aged” at 40 and usu ally died before he reached the age of 60. If he lived to 80 he was almost a “museum piece.” Today we literally play football until we are 40, baseball up to 50, tennis to 60 and golf to 75. In the last 100 years medical scientists have lengthened the span of life for the adult by from 15 to 25 years. What they have done for the infant is almost more miraculous. Modern hygienic methods have so improved the health of the infant, from the day it is conceived until it reaches manhood, that the hu man foundation is far more solid and healthy than of old. But still more contributive to long life, are the cures and preventives which these great students have brought to light. A hundred years ago diabetes was fatal. Today li is a bore. Diptheria was the terror of every parent. Today it is a comparatively unimportant danger. Small-pox is unheard of in civilized society. Typhus has been banished to distant shores. Typhoid is becoming, rarer. Tu berculosis—once fatal—is now un der almost complete control, and the sulfa drugs are performing miracles in the curb of pneu monia. Medical science is still struggling with the mysteries of dread cancer, but many believe the discovery of its prevention and cure to be but a matter of time. Some day—scientists say — w? should be able to prevent innoci'- lation by any germ which is for eign to the human body: and where the human body does be come innoculated we should b? definitely able to destroy the cause. When that day comes we may live for a hundred years! and more, because there should be s > few “outside” causes for death- It would seem that accidents, in ternal troubles, the circulator/ system—and each other, would be life’s only remaining threats. Ac cidents have gained on us in re cent decades; adjustment of th? circulatory system has not kept pace with the other advance ments; and every few years no - ;/ we seem to become more dan gerous to each other’s lives and limbs. Today more and more peopl> appear to be dying from hea t troubles. This is because we a - ? living 20 years longer than dis ease allowed us to a hundred years ago, and the heart has not adjusted itself to this compara tively rapid change. The cireulp- tory sj’stem wiU improve slowly ns the fundamental health rf humanity becomes more robust h-r&ugh preventive, hygiene and scientific living and eating.

The regular monthly meeting of the Woman’s Society of Christian Service of the local Methodist Church was held at the home of Mrs. W. N. Smith with Mrs. F. P. Deason, Mrs. V. H. Jennings and Mrs. T. J. Franklin assistant hostesses. i Mrs. J. S. Strom brought the devotional message, using as her subject “There will always be room in men’s hearts for the personality of Jesus Christ.” Those taking part on the pro gram were Mrs. W. O. Graves, Mrs. W. C. Jaynes, Mrs. P. G. Fooshe and Mrs. A. J. Hendrix. Miss Patricia Evans, accompanied by Miss Aurelia Caudle, gave a vocal selection. The program was concluded by singing a hymn. During the business session, conducted by Mrs. C. H. Work man, president, discussions 'were made on our church work, after which Mrs. Strom reported that the Church School building fund was growing and that a nice sum of money was collected by a com mittee composed of Mrs. J. L. Smith, Mrs. E. F. Creighton and Mrs. F. S. Robinson to be added to the building fund. The social hour was conducted by Mrs. Creighton, and the hostesses served a delicious salad course with hot tea. X l Local Girl Presented In Brenau Student Recital the Brenau Conservatory.
