Science Seeks New Ways to Fight Old Age President Grant Almost Made It, He Led for 36 Ballots in 1880 EW YORK. Science hasnt yet found a way of beating the Grim Reaper, but modern research is making great strides in uncovering causes and preventatives of physical and mental old age. While admitting that people who live much beyond 100 years are rare Had Served Seven Years, Made Only Other Serious Try in 1912 As Bullmooser.

Seeking causes for the death phenomenon, they believe that old age is simply a series of changes in the human body, but no single place has yet been discovered where its effects are first felt. Glandular deficiencies are popularly thought to be largely responsible, and this in turn may often be traced to dietary When skin becomes deficiencies. drier, wounds take longer to heal, and bones get brittle it is generally conceded that the trouble can be traced to the glands. Finds Filtrate Factor. Though medical men frown on straight vitamin dosages, Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan of the University of California has tried to isolate a new vitamin whose absence from the body is at least known to bring on many symptoms of premature age. In working with rats Dr. Morgan has concentrated on diet, perfecting a filtrate factor whose absence results in rapid aging.

His recipe for longevity: No meat, tobacco, liquor or women. -- filtrate factor are believed to be contained in yeast, whole rice and rice hulls, eggs, milk and many vegetables. Science has certainly determined that overeating is not conducive to longevity. It has long been a proverb that gluttons dig their graves with their teeth, and laboratory rats allowed to eat all they wanted actually did experience shorter lives than those whose diets were controlled. Hope to Boost Life Span. Although it is recognized that a long life is often inherited from ancestors who possessed the same traits, some scientists actually hope the average life span can be increased to. 100 years. Nor is this all they promise, for a long old age of feebleness is not conducive to happiness. Science believes, rather, that if mankind will it can avoid death by disease-oother accidents until the time comes for a quick old age and sudden end. Sociologists are heartened by a modern reversal of the recent trend toward junking old people as unfit for profitable employment. It is now conceded that both youth and age are needed for a proper balance of the community, and old people themselves are realizing that their mental outlook on the World and life is as much a part of staying young as anything else. r Cite Franklins Work. Historians point to innumerable cases where people have done their most notable work at an advanced age. Benjamin Franklin was serving the United States as ambassador to France when he was 79, and several years later was making some of his most important scientific discoveries. Moses, vigorous Israelite leader, was past 90 when he led his people to the promised land. Frenchmen still talk about Ninon iie Lehcios, a lady who lived in the days of Louis IV.
