Chicago, Feb. 15.-The entire po-

mysterious disappearance case of
a 3-year-old boy who is thought to
have been drowned in the lake late
yesterday afternoon by two women.
evidently servants of kidnappers.
That they were servants carrying
out orders from some one in auhOr-
ity. gains belief from the fact that
there has been no complaint at po-
lice headquarters of the missing boy
answering the description. There is
deep element of mystery in the case
and the police are divided between
the theory that the women were kid
nappers destroying a witness, and the
still more atrocious theory that dan
gerous heir to property was done
away with.

It Was on the Bag.

An American travelling in Europe
engaged the services of a courier.
Arriving in Austria, the American
asked the servant to register his
name according to the police regula-
tions Of that country. The man re-
piled that he had already anticipat-
ed the order and registered him as
an American gentleman of means.
"But how did you write my name%
asked the master. 81 can't exactly
pronounce it, but 1 copied it care
fully from your portmanteau, sir"
'But it is not there" was the reply.
Bring me the book" The register
was brought and revealed, instead
of very plain English name of two
syllables, the following portentous
entry: "Monsieur Warranted Solid
Leather"

Saving His Dignity.

The ceremonial of the Chinese
court, which used to include COM
plete prostration before the throne,
was once the occasion for display
of cool audacity. In the eighteenth
century Persian envoy refused to
go through the degrading ordeal,
and directions were given to the
officials to compel him by stratagem
to do so. On arriving one day at
the entrance to the hall of audience
the envoy found no means Of going
in except by wicket, which would
compel him to stoop very low. With
great presence of mind and consid-
cradle audacity the ambassador
turned around and entered back
ward, and thus, according to his
own conception of etiquette, saved
the dignity of his country from out
rage.

BACON AS A FOOD.
Properly Cooked 1t Is Valuable and
Easily Digested.

Lean bacon which contained fair
ly large proportions of both protein
and fat formed part of the ration
in a number of experiments made
at the Minnesota experiment sta
ton, about nine ounces being eaten
per man per Gay. 1t was cut in
thin slices and baked or broiled in
the oven until crisp and brown. All
the fat which cooked out was saved
and eaten with the bread and other
food which made up the daily fare.
On an average about 80 per cent of
the protein and SO per cent of the
fat of the ration containing bacon
were digested, and about SS per cent
of the energy was available. Calcu-
lated values for bacon alone showed
over 90 per cent digested protein
and SO per cent digestible fat, fig
ures which compare favorably with
those which have been obtained for
other animal foods.
Allowing 5 per cent for waste,
pound of bacon Will contain from
one-tenth to three-tenths digestible
protein and from four-tenths to
six-tenths pound digestible fat,
which is about two-thirds as much
as is found in butter. Lean bacon
contains as much protein and about
twice as much digestible fat as other
meats" says the experimental sta
ton professor, making it at the
same time and even at a higher
price per pound a cheaper food than
other meats. Bacon fat is easily di-
gested, and when combined with
other foods it appears to exert a
favorable mechanical action upon
digestion"
Many who are fond of bacon hes
itate to eat it, since they believe
that, being very rich in fat, it is a
frequent cause of Indigestion. As
has been pointed out by number
of writer's, it seems fair to say that
in the majority of cases such diges-
tive disturbances are not due to the
fatty nature of the food, but to the
fact that the bacon was overlooked,
or, rather, cooked at too high tenn
perature. 1t is not surprising that
this should be the case when it Is
remembered that fat heated to a
high temperature is decomposed,
and one of the products given off is
acrolein, on unpleasant smelling
compound which attacks the eyes,
makes them smart, and irritates all
mscous surfaces.
This compound is plainly notice
able in the acrid fumes of burning
or scoceAirs fct. Whea bacon fat
