GIANT RACE COMING.
New Food Furthers the Growth Of
the Human Frame.
Professor of the Chicago University
Investigates Lecithin and Says
IL May Make Race of
BrobdiHnaRinns.

The age of the race of giants is about
to be ushered in again. Henceforth
there will be no pygmies, for a wonder
full foods substance has been discovered
that makes men and animals grow
grow fast and large.
The myths that have come down from
ancient days tell OF races Of giants which
inhabited the earth or dwelt in the is
lands of the sea. History, as constructed
from old records and folk lore. is filled
with stories of Goliaths and Simpsons,
to say nothing of Hercules. Science has
proved that the animals of the earth
were once far larger than at present.
The giant races may all return as the
result of the newly discovred food sub
stance which stimulates growth so rap
Idly The new food is lecithin. Its won
derful qualities have just been demon
strated by series Of experiments con-
Quoted by DR.. Shinkishi Hatai, pro-
lessor of neurology at the University of
Chicago. DR.. Haitai experimental with
white rats, and by feeding them lecithln
made them grow 60 per cent. faster than
rats grow ordinarily And this under
conditions of atmosphere and general
surroundings that were unfavorable.
The scientists say that lecithin will have
a similar effect on human beings.
Leo!thin is an organic phosphorus
containing body found in various ami
NAL tissues. 1t is a brown, butter-like
substance, with an odor like that of ran
cid fat.
The results of DIR. Haitai's expert
ments, which he puts forth through the
American Journal of Physiology, are in
part as follows:
The white rats that received lecithin,
either by intramuscular injection or by
the mouth, gained In body weight more
rapidly than those which did not re-
eeiye this food the average gain being
so per cent greater than was noted in
the rats fed on plain grain diets.
The relative weight of the central
nervous systems of the rats treated with
lecithin was normal
The nervous systems of the rats treated
with lecithin contained the same pro-
portion Of water and solids as those of
other rats.
The professors experiments show,
therefore, that the growth induced by
lecithin is normal and healthy. 1t slim
ulates all parts and organs of the body
exactly alike, thus acting unlike other
stimulants, which affect different organs
OF the body in different ways.

In the course of her talk Mrs. Eos

TILL HOW TO GROW WHEAT.
Experiments at Urbana UlI) Expert
ment Station show the Value of
LeEune Treatment. "a

A bulletin has just been issued by
the agricultural experiment station OF
the University of Illinois. at Urbana.
H.. and is of special interest TO wheat
growers. It treats of experiments car-
ried on now for two years with spc .ial
reference to southern Illinois soil.
The plan of the experiments includes
4 liberal use of legumes, clover. COW
peas, soy beans, vetch. etc, both as
catch crops and as regular crops in ro-
tation The rotations are: First year.
corn or wheat with legume catch
crop on certain plots; second year oats
with lcgume catch crop on the same
plots as in the first year; third year.
legume clover, COW peas, or some 9TH
er leGume.
The experiments show that legume
treatment is profitable as compared
with no treatment. that manure made
on the farm can be applied to the soil
with married profit. that moderate APP
plications of ground limestone to acid
soils give evidence of married. i'm
Drovement In the growth of legumes.
that the application of phosphorus is
very profitable soil treatment applied
only in connection with manure or le-
gume treatment unless the soil is al
ready supplied with nitrogen and or
ganic matter. and that potassium has
been applied with profit in connection
with legumes and phosphorus. but the
use of potassium without phosphorus
would result in loss on nearly all IlIi-
nois soils except swamps

T3 years ago, and went to live on a

They are still living in the same house
TO which they went as bridegroom anc

They have ten children. the Youngest

WHY BANDIT
RA|SUL| KEEPS
SIR MhCLEAN

Tangier, July 11.--One OF the escort
OF Kaid Sir Harry Maclean, who was
with the Kaid when he was captured
by Raisuli on July 3. has arrived here
bearing letter to the British legation.
The letter says that when Raisuli in
formed Maclean that he was a pris-
oner he reproached him severely for
having bombarded his house at Zinat
and driving him out OF the district
and bribing his adherents.
Immediately after his capture Mac
lean dispatched men OF his escort to
visit each OF the Hkmass tribes, call
ing on them 10 be loyal and TO up
hold the sultan's authority Raisuli
intercepted one OF the messengers on
his return and was prevented from
killing him only by Maclean promising
TO do what he could 10 stop any meas
ures that might be taken against
Raisuli.
The Hkmass tribes held a meeting
yesterday 10 discuss the capture OF
Maclean and his message. The mes
senger who brings the letter TO the
legation thinks the tribes will finally
decide against Raisuli. He says that
Maclean is being well treated as re-
CARDS food. but is kept a close pris-
oner and is not allowed 10 commune
cate with any one.
