SEEKS LIFE FROM DEAD.
Varonoff Wants Their Glands Saved
for Giving Youth to Others.
PARIS, Oct. 21 Dr. Serge Voro
noff, who has been conducting experi
ments for postponing old age by
grafting interstitial glands, states in
an article in Le Journal today that
the internal secretions of glands such
as the thyroid and supra-renal con
tinue alive for three hours after the
death of the body.
Therefore he advocates that bodies
of young and 'healthy persons killed
in accidents should be rushed to spe
cial hospitals, where patients are suf
fering from curable maladies. He
says that the glands for grafting
could be grouped and put in cold sto
rage where they could be kept indefin
itely. "Unfortunately," writes Dr. Voron
off, "prejudices and aw now prevents
this. 1 Our secular customs require
that our perishable bodies be consign
ed to the earth, where they are slow
ly and uselessly consumed."

la and Jacksonviffle, vicing with each

the Centennial Purchase Exposition.
There was no hearing before tL:
commission yesterday, an consequent
ly, no decision has yet been reached
as to where the exposition will be
held. The ccmmmlission decided, on
acount of the lack of a full attendance,
to postpone a hearing, but to visit
both of the cities contesting for the
location.

present were Chairman W. B. Bro
rein, of Tampa; W. A. MacWHliams,

West, resigned, was not present at
the meeting. It was on this account
that the hearing was postponed.
John S. Beard of Pensacola,

ing was adjourned in Jacksonville
with the understanding that a full
commission would be resent at the
Tallahassee meeting, and that unless
the commission could be made full by
the election of another members, in
the place of Burguieres, Pensacola
would be unwilling to present her
claims for the centennial.
It was acknowledged by Chairman
Brorein that a telegram had been re
ceived from Mr. Burguieres, stating
his inability to be present and also
offering his resignation in case it was
found to be necessary to complete the
hearing.
Mr. Beard stated that Pensacola had
no objection whatever to Mr. Bur
guieres except his absence, and sug
gested that as middle Florida had no
representative on the commission, the J
matter would easily adjust itself if
the commission accept the offer of
Mr. Burguieres and appointed another
member, and pointed out the fact that
if the new member appointed from
Tallahassee, the hearing could be con
tinued to the satisfaction of all. Mr.
Beard was upheld in his statements
by R. Pope Reese and J. B. Perkins,
also from Pensacola.
Jacksonville Agrees.

ments were heard at this meeting, no
