Taft as Bachelor in the White House solved The Dresldent has hannily President Taft. WASHINGTON, "bachelor" of the White House, Is sharing the fate of many other government officials and Washington residents whose families have gone away to mountains or seashore. The president is taking the situation philosophically, doesn't seem to mind the hot weather and is reading daily with great delight letters from Beverly which tell of the rapid Improvement In Mrs. Taft's health. Living bachelor fashion at the White House is not fraught with the same discomforts that beset the mere man who has his home "closed up on him," when his wife goes away and is compelled to seek food and lodging as best he may. The president and Mrs. Taft divided the White House "help" when the occupancy of the Beverly cottage was begun, so the president Is well taken care of and domestic affairs at the White House run on much the same. The president, however, allowed Mrs. Taft to take the "first. cook" to Beverly, while he is served by the "second cook," who is a legacy from She is the Roosevelt administration. a negro girl named Mary, who halls from Old Virginia and whose away over the White House kitchens now is complete. , the problem of disposing of the long evenings by taking long autmoblle rldea ahont the city and suburbs.

The theories Metchalkoff of the 'Pasteur Institute that man would live longer and be healthier without any large intestine are boing put to proof in an interesting series of experiments now taking place at Guy's hospital.. Dr. A. Dislaso, Prof. MetchnikofTa assistant, who has been sent to Lon. don by the Pasteur Institute to conduct the experiments, explained his progress. "When studying cholera a few years ago," the doctor said, "Prof. Metchnikoff discovered that the intestines of the ordinary healthy man always contained a great number of varieties of bacteria.- - Some of these were found to be dangerous, because they formed poisons which were harmful to the body when absorbed into the system, and others are beneficial because they hinder the development ot the harmful germs. "In the lower large Intestine It was found that the harmful germs greatly predominated. Prof. Metchnikoff therefore concluded that If a man's large intestine were removed he would suffer less from the intestinal bacteria poisons which, according to Prof. Metchnikoff's belief, cause the common diseases of degeneration of the internal organs of the body and generally bring on premature old age. The difficulty was to find patients without large Intestines on whom to test these theories. "Dr. W.
