President ROoseveIt-Inventor Says
One Was offered Mckinley.

Caslmer Zeglen, a Polish resident of
South Bend. Ind, has invented bullet
proof cloth from which waistcoat has
been made for President Roosevelt.
The waistcoat Is of pure white silk, is
pliable, and weighs less than half a
pound to the square foot. 1t is half an
inch in thickness, and is worn next the
body. The durability of the new inven-
ton is unquestioned, as 1t has been thor
oughly tested, members Of the police de-
partment having failed to puncture 1t
with 44-caliber leaden bullets.
THE secret Of the cloth lies In the
closeness of the weaving" said Zegien.
1.-TWO weeks before President Mckinley
was killed | offered a waistcoat to him,
but Secretary Cortelyou stated that the
matter could not be considered until the
following month"

Another tradition long prevalent
throughout the world and fnstered- by
physicians for q century past has been
upset. The United States department
of agriculture has been conducting ex-
periments which prove that the gluten
and other nutrients in graham bread
are less completely digested than the
same nutrients in white bread, the bran
and other wheat offals in the graham
-four lessening its digestibility. This
conclusion has been reached from Sc
ries of comparative digestion trials COW
ering period Of six years. A num-
Der of men in sound health were work.
ingmen, Others were students. men OF
both sedentary and active habits being
included In the trials.
A teamster, college athlete, natu-
rally lazy fellow, and both corpulent
and lean men were subjects OF expert
ment. In one set of tests the men were
fed for several days upon graham bread
and milk. Then white bread was sub
stituted for the graham, and the same
number Of days the rations consisted
Of white bread and milk. All Of the
food consumed was weighed and sam
pies were analysed. as were all OF the
waste products from the body. The
graham and the white fiours were milled
from the same lot of wheat. The con-
clusion reached is briefly stated as fol-
lows: According TO the chemical
analysis of graham, entire wheat and
standard patent flours milled from the
same lot of hard Scotch Fife wheat.
the graham flour contained the highest
and the patent the lowest percentage
of total protein (glutinous natter,
But according to the results of di-
gestion experiments with these fiours,
the proportion of digestible or available
protein and available energy in the
patent -four were larger than In either
the entire wheat or the graham -four.
The lower digestibility of the protein
In the graham flours Is due to the fact
that in both Of these considerable por-
tion of the protein is contained in the
coarser particles (bran), and so resists
the action of the digestive juices and es-
capes digestion. Thus. while there act
ually may be more protein in a given
amount Of graham or entire wheat -four
than In the same weight of patent -four
from the same wheat. the body obtains
less Of the protein and energy from
the coarse -four than 1t does from the
fine, because. although the including of
the bran and germ increases the per-
centage Of protein 1t decreases the d.
gestibility."
Those who really enjoy graham bread
and find that It agrees with them should
continue its use. The beneficial results
arise not from increased nutrients Sc
cured from the food, but from the me-
chanical action Of the food.
