THE FOODS OF AMERICA.
Points of Interest Set Forth by the Bureau
of Animal Industry.

Points of Interest Set Forth by the Bureau
OF Animal Industry.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-The nutritive
value of food is discussed at length in
a bulletin of the agricultural depart
ment based on Investigations made by
the bureau of animal industry. The
result of these studies, says the
bulletin, confirms the general I'M
preston of hygienists that the diet
of Americans is one-sided and that
they eat too much. Owing to the large
consumption in this country of sugar
and the use of large quantities of fat
meats the food actually eaten has re1a-
lively too little protein and too much
fat, starch and sugar. 1t is found that
the protein in ordinary meats,
fish and milk, is readily and COM
pletely digested, but that of vegetable
foods is much less completely digested
than of animal foods. One-fourth or
one-third of potatoes, whole wheat and
rye -four may escape digestion and
thus be useless for nourishment and
one-sixth of the protein of wheat flour,
corn meal, peas and beans may be as
sumed to be undigested when cooked
and eaten in the usual way.
''Of the meat products in the mar
ket,'' continues the report, ''some con-
tain very little and others practically
no material which builds tissue or
yields energy. Animal foods crafty the
palate in many ways which the veg
etab1e foods do not, and what is per-
haps of greater weight in regulating
the actual usage of communities by
whose demand the prices are regulated,
they satisfy real need by supplying
protein and fats which vegetable foods

SOUGHT TO SAVE HIS FRIEND.

Two Men Drowned in the MOnongahela
River Near Homestead.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 1S.-The dead
bodies of j. j. Schuster and Frank Nc
Mahon, of Duquesne, above Homestead,
were found yesterday morning in the
Monongahela river. Frank Mcmahon
was standing upright in 7 feet of
water; the feet were sticking in the
mud, and were so firmly imbedded in
the clay that the current did not wash
the corpse away. Schuster was found
within few feet of Mcmahon. There
are no marks on either body or
anything to indicate how they
came there. The men were
employed at the Howard plate
glass works, and had been drinking
Saturday night. They were missed
about 10 o'clock. At daylight search
ing party began to drag the river. In
less than an hour both bodies had been
recovered. Schuster's watch was still
running, and gave no clew to the time
the man fell into the water. 1t is sup
posed Schuster fell into the river and
Mcmahon jumped in to rescue him. 1t
was near shore, and finding he could
not save his friend, he tried to walk
out of the water, but got stuck in the

A Kansan Charged with Forging Release
to Farm Mortgage.
LINCOLN CENTER, Kan, Dec. 1S.-Vo1-
ney Ball, late of Wichita, but formerly
a prominent citizen of Lincoln county,
was brought to this place yesterday
morning and lodged in jail. Some time
last summer the Hamilton Investment
Co., of Salina, Kan, discovered that
they had a second mortgage of 81, 900
on farm in Lincoln county, formerly
owned by Ball, instead of first mort
gage, as they supposed, thus rendering
their mortgage worthless. They at
once swore out warrant for Ball,
charging him with forging release of
the first mortgage. Ball was arrested
at Wichita and returned here. Ball
kept the crime hidden by paying the
interest promptly on both mortgages
for three years. He is an eX-treasurer
of Lincoln county, and served in the
Kansas legislature

MAKING A HARD FIGHT.

Debs Will Try Three Methods to Prevent
Carrying Out the Sentence.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-At a conference
this afternoon between President Debs
and other American Railway union Off
Gals and their attorneys,it was decided
to make three separate efforts to pro-
vide escape for the ex-strike leaders
from the jail sentences pronounced by
Judge Woods in the contempt proceed
ings last Friday. Attorneys will en-
deavor to secure an appeal to the SUI
preme court and a writ of error,
and will also apply for a writ of
habeas corpus. It was believed by
American Railway union people here
that the defendants attorneys would
meet success in at least one of the
three attempts to stay execution of the
sentences, and the opinion was freely
expressed that Debs and his associates
would not go to Jail.
