SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.

/
Ex-Speaker E. J. Justice, of
Greensboro, was a Durham visit
or one day this week.
A Gun Club was organized in
Durham this week. George L.
Lyon was elected president and
W. H. Overton secretary.
DR.. S. B. Turrentine, of
Greensboro, delivered a lecture
before the Y. M. C. A. of Trinity
College last Thursday night.
Attention is called to the ad in
this issue of the Taylor and
Phipps Company. in which they
tell lyou about wire and iron
fences. Look up their ad.
The ladies of Durham have or
fianized a Jones Fuller club.
This is for the purpose of doing
what they can to help elect Mr..
Fuller as solicitor of this, the
fifth district.
Col. John S. Cunningham, of
Person, was a Durham visitor
this week. He is of the opinion
that the new crop of tobacco will
be about the average. How
ever, owing to the weather con-
ditions the planting will be rath-
er late.
Efforts of a number oct Durham
gentlemen to establish a club,
have in a measure begun to take
definite shape and in the near
future it is probable that an Or
ganization begun some time ago
will result in the establishment
of permanent quarters.
The attorney for the negro,
Major Guthrie, has reason for
believing that the negro's neck
will not be stretched. Ev-
cry effort has been made to
secure a life sentence for this
negro that.was sentenced to be
hanged on purely circumstantial
evidence. The result of such eff
forts will be watched with inter-
est.
Mr.. and Mrs. George O'Kelly
have arrived in the city from
Raleigh. Last Monday Mr..
0'Kelly went down to Raleigh
and before returning has secured
a wife in the person of Miss Iva
w. Norwood, of that city. The
ceremony was performed in the
office of the Register of deeds of
Wake county. They will make
their home in this city.

Measure Energy
Of Human Body
Secretary Of State Root Interested in Remarkable Ek
perirnents Being Conducted in Boston

! thorit{es from vienna and other
scientific centers have come to this
country to visit Prof. Benediet's
laboratory. and to witness his expert
ments 1t is understood that several
European Institutions OF learning will
send delegations to Boston to observe
the energy machine in use.
Undertaking the idea OF studying
nutrition problems, Prof. Benedict's
research has been greatly extended.
He has unlimited money at his dis
posaL He has built several forms
of energy meters. and other. forms
are in process o.. construetion. There
are respiration meters. the first to he
built; bed meters. which are shap-
ed and look ike great collins, and IN
which sick people may lie with COM
fort, a glass window at the head en-
abling the one inside to look out in
to the room. and many others.
! A large number of men from var
ious walks of life have been drawn
by Prof. Benedict for his own expert
ments. Some have been men whose
daily work called into play the body
muscles, others earn their livelihood
| by mental efforts.

BOSTON. Mass Dec. 25-Secr-
tary OF State Root, it was said today,
came to Boston few days ago to
observe series of experiments
which are being carried on in the
Carnegie Nutrition Labrotory in villa
street, Roxbury. to determine the ex-
act amount of energy in any human
being,
These experiments. which entail
the. continuing of men and women in
an ingeniously coutrived box for days
or weeks at a time. have been con-
Quoted for several months with the
most utmost secrecy.
No one save employees is allowed
further than the main hall OF the
building. and in the compartment
where the test machines are no one
but Prof. Francis C. Benedict and
his assistants. 1t is now believed
that many diseases hitherto regard
ed as incurable will be prevented or
cured by means Of Prof. Benedict's
energy machines
This machine registers to de-
gree not only pulse beats, respiration
and temperature, but all the forms
of energy within the body, whether
the patient be awake or asleep The
amount of energy furnished by a
pound of beefsteak. an omelet, or a
vegetable soup can be determined to
an absolute figure by the machine.
Il is also declared that another
problem. that of reducing the cost of
human nutrition to the minimum,
will likewise he solved BY his re-
cent experiments with patients taken
from different hospitals in the city,
Prof. Benedict has supplied physi-
clans with facts unknown to them
before.
BY means of figures obtained from
the study of several patients suffer
ing from diabetes, who, it is said
were transferred from the Deaconess
hospital, in Brooknne, to the Car
neEIe Iabratory. it is predicted tina
the present day treatment of this
disease Will be changed.
In the near future, by the use OF
these machines it is said that II
will be possible to give in fgures the
amount OF human energy required to
perform any Kind of work.
