Many Killed By a Tornado.

ST. PAUL, MINI, October "a tor
nado struck St. Charles, Mimi, at two
O clock today and ruined the town. Six
persons are reported killed and large
number are reported injured.
Two elevators, the principal furniture
store in town and the big -four mill are
completely wrecked, while the telegraph
Office and sawmill are partially wrecked.
One man was killed by being struck by
a plow hurled through the air by the force
of the storm.
All the telegraph and telephone wires
were leveled at the first blast of the storm,
and communication with other cities was
cut off, 1t is estimated that 100 houses
were demolished in the path of the storm.
ST. Charles is a village of 800 inhab-
itants on the western boundary of Winona
county, and is one of the oldest settlements
in the state.
The storm which struck the town with
such disastrous results swept wide sec
tion of country down the river division from
the twin cities to the Minnesota boundary,
doing much damage and cutting telegraph
communication between the twin cities and
Chicago for time.

Army Soldiers.

AsQusd Of volunteers from the United
States army at Washington recently ar
rived In New Haven. Conn, to subject
themselves to experiments by Prof. Rus
sell II. Chittenden. director Of the Shelf
hsld Scientific school, who will try to
domonstrate that the American people
cat too much. In discussing tho plan
Prof. Chlttenden said:
Through the courtesy of Secretary
Root and Surgeon General OReilly, OF
lhe army, the war department will CO.
operate with the Sheffield laboratory In
a physiological study Of the minimum
amount OF proteid and albumlnous food
required for the maintenance OF health
and strength under ordinary conditions
Of life.
THE scientific school has ftted up
house where the men will be housed and
cared for during the period OF the ex-
periments-doubtless for about nine
months.
I'm this study there arc no special
theories involved and no special system
OF dieteticS, but the object especially
aimed ut Ia to ascertain experimcntally
whether physiological economy in diet
cannot DO practiced with distinct bet
terment to the body and without loss Of
strength and vigor.
There is apparently no question that
people ordinarily consume much more
food than there ia any real necessity for
and that this excess OF food ia in the
long run detrimental to health and do
feats the very objects aimed Mt. II Is
with n view to gather os many facts rs
possible on this subject that tho study
is undertaken.
This investigation Ia merely a con-
tlnuation on lnrge scale OF earlier OBJ
servatlons made in tho shsfieid scien-
tiflc school last year and bsars directly
upon the question OF a possible physio-
logical economy In nutrition"
