Protein, Car boiydrate and Fat tn BE Dealt
Out With Precision.

Eating must no longer be carried on for
the mere pleasure of tho palate or because
ore is hungry, say the professors at tho
University of California. They arc inves-
tigating tho subject OF human food and
will soon promulgatc rules of practical
feeding by which people must regulate
their diet If they intend to live rightly, or,
perhaps, at all.
Hereafter costly dinners, embracing oil
tho delicaces of the season, will have to
stand the test Of the college mems measur.
ing tubes, and If they do not contain the
proper proport ions of protein, carbohydrate
and fat they will be condemned on the
same GROUNDS that tubcrculous cows are
destroyed by the health officers.
According to the professors tables, q
well balanced diet contains proportion
ate amount of these three ingredients, ard
they are going TO find out whether the peo-
pic of tho coast are eating them as they
should.
Protein is better known under the gen.
eral name of meat, milk or eggs. Carbo-
hydrate sounds moro seductive when In
beled sugar or starch. Fat is just plain
fat, and tho learned ones eycsain that its
chief use Is - make people go. 1t is the
fuel, md the average man needs n third
of pound Of ii every day, besides quar-
ter Of pound Of the protein or meat and
n full pound of the starchy or sugary ma
tcrial.
Professors Hilgard and Jaffa have be-
gun an Investigation Of what people eat
on the Pacific coast Professor Atwater,
at Storrs, Conn. is doing the same thing
I'm tho east Professor Playfair, in Eng
land, and Professor Volt, in Germany, arc
making investigations along the same
lines They want 10 find out what Is tho
best scicntnc menu IN the world, and
when the work IL done poor people will
get the full bcncflt of scientific economy.
BY the tables OF the professors thus far
computed there Is about 20 per cent of ma
terial that Is wasted i'm beef, about Is per
cent In mutton, about i3 per cent In eggs
and only little over IL per cent I'm ham.
Chicken, on the other hand, wastes 80 per
cent and turkey 80 per cent, while oysters
lose as much as So per cent AS between
the founder and the halibut, the former
loses G6 per cent and the latter only IL per
cent
Everything in the list Of catablcs has its
value, from string beans TO sweet potatoes.
A man who cats In single day 10 ounces
of steak, ounces OF butter, q ounces OF
potatoes and 20 ounces Of bread is fccdir z
all right. But the man who eats 4 ount -
of oatmeal, 16 ounces of bread. ounces Of
eggs, ounces Of sugar, ounces OF chick
en- enc ounces of rico gets very little
muscle forming food, though bis is COM
mon diet, and most people who live on
such bill cf fare think themselves well

DISFIGURING THE TREASURY.
Some Labor Saving Officials Ruin a Beau
tisul Interior with Elevators.

No other government building In WASH
ington was built with creator Difference to
the purely classical in architecture than
the United States treasury. People who
have made Grecian ruins their study have
placed the treasury among the foremost OF
tic imposing classical buildings Of the
world. The beautiful perspective OF the
columns ON the Fifteenth street side are
seen In every book Of architecture of inn
rortance, and it's severely plain facades
and cornices lend to its stately outline.
The interior Of the building is hardly less
interesting in some respects, although its
rooms arc not so large and ornate nor its
corridors so wide and lofty as those of the
state, war and navy building.
A most important feature Of the interior
arc the central staircases, which connect
the floors I'm the middle of the Fifteenth
street side and the opposite facade toward
the White House. These staircases are
spiral and are distinguished by the fact
that there is no support at the outer balus-
trade, and they scorn TO be resting on air.
This remarkable result was attained 10y a
most delicate feat of engineering, by which
each stone step, placed upon the other,
supports, by its position and brace against
the side wall, all the other stones Of the
flight. After these flights were built tho
staircases In the state, war and navy
building Were put up after the same plan.
Now, because Of tho desire Of some OK
the officials 10 make short time between
the floors two elevator shafts have been
run through the airsbafts in the center of
the western side of tho building, around
which these graceful stairways wind. Tho
shrewd artistic sense Of tho government
officials has led them To have these shafts
filed with an incongruous mass of iron,
hybrid In form md detail, In which two
elevators Of small size dash recl.lcssly from
tho first floor 10 the second and then back
again. Nobody has been able 10 explain
why these elevators have been built at all,
or why, If they were built, they were placed
in such conspicuous place All Of tho
other government buildings have the cle-
vators run In special corridors near the out
side walls. where they do hot o5trude on
their classical surroundings. There are
many rooms In the treasury building
which could be sacrificed 10 these elevators
II there was any need Of making such q
sacrifice Now York SUM

ago my wife contracted rheumatism
and for considerable time was hope
less invalid. Her joints were swollen
and distorted; her nights were sleep
less and her appetite poor and tickle.
During those years she experienced ex-
cruciating fortunes, the pain never
csasing, day or night. She had the
benefit of skilled medical advice. but
the treatment afforded no relief and
we began to fear that her trouble had
gone beyond human aid On number
Of occasions 1 had read in the papers
of cases of rheumatism being cured by
the use OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and this AT last determined US to give
them a trial. She had used some three
boxes before any improvement was
noticed; and then We began 10 notice
that she slept better and that her appe-
tite was improved. Then the pains
gradually began to subside, and after
using about dozen boxes she was able
to get up and walk about She con-
tinued the use of the pills for while
longer, and although occasionally she
feels twinges OF the trouble in change
able weather, she now enjoys better
health than she has done for many
years, and can sleep as soundly as she
ever did in her life, while her appetite
never was better. look upon Dr. WILL
Jams Pink Pills as g wonderful medi-
cine, for / know they have done Won
ders in my wife's case, and l feel GER
tain that il any who are afflicted as she
was will give them a good trial, equally
happy results will follow, and I there
fore give this testimony freely, hoping
that it will benefit some other suf-
terer."
Dr. Williams Pink Pills strike at
the root OF the disease, driving it from |
the system and restoring the patient |
y health and strength. In cases OF par
alysis- spinal troubles, locomotor ataxis, |
seiatia, rheumatism, erysipelas, scro- |
'ulus troubles, etc, these pills are su-
perior to all other treatment. They
are also specific for the troubles which /
make the lives of so many women a
burden, and speedily restore the rich /
glow OF health TO the cheeks. Men
broken down by overwork, worry or
Excess, will find the Pink Pills a GER
ain cure.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
HOLSTER Drug Co., wholesale agents
.or Hawaiian Islands, and all dealers
