Lit-* HEALTH BOARD TO DO LIFE EXTENSION WORK. State Board of Health WilL Inaugu rate in Alamance County Unit of Life Extension Work —Dr. Ellington in Charge. To prolong life and make it more useful is tne subject of the Life Extension Unit, a new feature of health work that is soon to be in augurated in Alamance county by the State Board of Health. Dr. A. J. Ellington of Wake Forest College and Columbia University, has been put in charge' of the work, which will begin in February or not later than March Ist. Dr. Ellington has done service for 18 months in the New York City Hospital. He has also studied with the New York Health Department and the Life Extension institute preparatory to this work in North Carolina. The plan of this unit of health work, popularly known as periodic medical examinations, uses the coufity as a basis. At the county s expense, every white person In the county between the ages of 30 ana 65 years will be given a physical examination to detect any defects or impairments leading to any se rious degenerative disease. No treatment or operative procedure will be undertaken and suitable ad vice concerning personal hygiene and proper living habits will be given. Wherever subjects are Found that demand treatment, they will be referred to a physician, dentist or occulist of their own choosing. The examination, which will be made in a well-equipped office with modern laboratory facilities, will be, first, to detect minor phys ical defects which decrease one s capacity for work or pleasure; sec ond, to detect the earliest of dis ease tendencies and physical im pairments which may later lead to serious and fatal diseases; tnird, by teaching practical personal hy giene. To this end, an examination of the urine, sputum and blood as as indicated of the patient will be made. The degenerative diseases that are to be guarded against, and whose mortality rates in this coun try are every day climbing, are cancer, tuberculosis, kidney niseas es, including Hright's, organic heart diseases, diabetes, apoplexy and kr terio sclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Conditions leading to these diseases will be detected and the remedy made known. Reduction in Pensioners and Pensions.

Bryan told the Newlands Joint committee on inter-state commerce, in Washington. He vigorously op posed the proposal of the railroads lor a greater centralization of reg ulating authority in the hands of the Federal government on the ground that this would impose sucn a burden on the authorities at Washington that they could not deal with the problem adequately, because it would tempt railroad* to exert influence on Congress, and because "the people at home can best attend to the things at home. 1 He said that Congress could exer cise its fullest powers over the rail roads without interfering with the powers of the States, and that nothing would hasten government ownership of railroads more than the success of the centralization plans. t Mr. Bryan explained that he had changed his mind on the subject of government ownership since he advocated such a step ten years ago and that he now loe* not de sire government ownership if it can be avoided. "I have believed for a number of years,'' he said, "that government ownership was inevit able, but only oecause the rail roads would not consent to effect ive regulation, and that the people would be comjielled for their own protection to take charge of the railroads. Personally f cannot say that 1 desire government own ership. I am too much of an indi vidualist. I desire It only when competition and proper regulation become impossible.
