LESS MEAT, MORE MUSCLE.
What Dietary Experiments Have
Shown in the Yale Gymnasium.

Director Chittenden, who has had
charge of the Sheffield Scientific
school dietary experiments, recently
reported that the men under him grew
stronger the less meat they ate. The
men under inv estigation were kept at
work in the Yale gymnasium while
they were on a diet of less meat and
more vegetables and fruit. The gym
nasium tests show growth of muscu-
lar development of 35 to 100 per cent.
Disposing of surplus meat food by
the digestive apparatus is much more
difficult than getting rid of the sur
plus of vegetables and fruits. Partly
digested protein frequently develops
toxic qualities which either cause dis
ease or furnish breeding place for
1t. The great increase of Bright's dis.
ease and other kidney and semi-nerv-
Gus troubles is attributed to the excess
of meat over the normal demand Of
the body.

Field Headquarters, II. |. J. H., Sec

first time in this battle | saw fight,
writes Will II. Brill, correspondent OF
the Chicago journal. l had given up
all hope of seeing anything and that
added to the pleasure of really seeing
something after all. The fight | saw
was the attack on and capture of the
little village of Kankyachien which is
one of a dozen villages lying in the
angle made by the Hun river on the
south and the railway on the east. 1t
was a good fight and | could see al
most every detail of it.
Early this morning we rode forward
to a long low sand hill which lies al
most directly west of Mukden at
distance of about ten miles There
Gen. Oku and his STAFF had taken up
their quarters and there the CORE
spondents and military attaches pre-
empted an end of the hill for them
selves.
At the foot of the hill lay large
open plain bounded on the southwest
by the abandoned railway embank-
ment. To the southwest of the hill.
across the plain. lay Kankyachien.
On one side of 1t was the village
which | have called the North village,
on the other one which | have called
the West village. Both these villages
were occupied by the Japanese yester-
day. but this morning Kankychin was
in the hands of the Russians, as were
several villages beyond it.
Artillery Duel Takes Place.
Beyond the railway embankment
was Japanese battery of heavy guns.
while between trees in front of the
embankment was a battery of field
guns. Both these batteries were she'll
ing Kankyachien and the Russian bat
teries beyond when we reached the
hill. The Russians were returning the
fire heavily.
All morning the bombardment kept
up from both sides, but there was
nothing else. The chief of artillery
of the army spent most of his time at
his telescope on the top of the hill.
and there was usually staff officer
at the big glasses. but the STAFF in gen
eral didn't seem to be taking any par
ticular interest in the affair.
Charge by the Japanese.
At 2 O'Clock. however. the Japanese
bombardment began to increase until
1t seemed that every available gun
had been turned on Kankyachien.
This continued for an hour, and then
there was a stir among the tents and
Gen. Oku. followed by nearly all his
staff officers, mounted the hill. They
spread themselves on the sand. and
each one turned his glasses on Kanky-
achien. We followed suit.
Just at that moment the Japanese
artillery fire stopped altogether. The
shells ceased to burst over the viii
lage and the smoke and dust cleared
away. At the same moment a half
dozen soldiers in extended order
emerged from the north village and
started on run in the direction of
Kankyachien. They ran forward for
perhaps 200 yards and then dropped.
AS the first men dropped another
lot left the village and went forward
to the same line. Then came third
lot, and fourth and fifth. When

leaders today in his rooms at the

Truce in Prospect.

Chicago. May IA truce is in

and the teamsters' union. Officials of
the drivers organization are said to
have decided not to force the issue
with the employers organization. A.
B. Perrigo. president of the Livery

the drivers had decided not to carry
out their boycott plan against the de-
partment stores and other strike-affec

to be carried anywhere they might
designate. The meeting of the Cab
and Carriage Drivers Union tonight
is expected to ratify this action and
bring about settlement SO far as
the livery business is concerned.
