...Governor. At 38 he was U. S. Senator and political master of Louisiana in a literal sense that non-Louisianians cannot understand. In six years he ran the State debt up from $46,000,000 to $143,000,000 and doubled its annual operating expenses but today no responsible person in Louisiana dares challenge his power. The Governor is his puppet. He curses his State Legislature to its face and then boldly boasts that "they are the finest collection of lawmakers money can buy." The State judiciary is so packed with Longsters that a legal test of the Senator...

Acidophilus bacilli are the germs which the late great Russian Biologist Elie Metchnikoff recommended as an aid to digestion and longevity. They live and reproduce in every person's mouth, as well as in his bowels. But they do not attack the teeth of a masticator until his natural immunity to them drops below a certain level. Seven out of every hundred people retain such immunity throughout life; ten are born lacking it entirely; and 83 retain it only if they eat sensibly. Gist of Dentist Bunting's remarks last week before the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts...
According to those authorities, the simplest divisions of human blood types are those discovered in 1900 by Dr. Karl Landsteiner of the Rockefeller Institute. Dr. Landsteiner first found that, when he mixed the red cells of one person with the blood serum of another, occasionally the red cells agglutinated. Cause of the occasional clumping, he found, was an antibody in the serum which was antipathetic to an agglutinogen in the red cells. Further research disclosed two agglutinogens, A and B. A person's red cells might contain A or B, or both (AB) or neither (O). Thus, according...
