a large school Of physicians which
IS constantly increasing, claims that
the eating Of too much animal foods
creates an over supply of proteids,
which are composed OF carbon, hydro
gen, nitrogen. oxygen and sulphur, and
that when such proteids are imper-
fectly digested and go into the blood
they create vast quantities of nitro
gen which the oxygen from the lungs
cannot neutralize and hence results,
uric acid and rheumatism and scores
of other diseases.
These proteids do not permit the as
smilation processes to take place pro-
perly and poisoning results all through
the blood.
However, II such proteids are per-
fectly digested they form a most val
liable part of our food and are abso-
lutely necessary to life.
The fault then rests with the stom-
ach and the digestive apparatus.
Hence IL is claimed by these latter
day authorities that rheumatism arises
in the stomach or through the stomach
and not in the kidneys as some medi-
cal authorities teach.

WHOLESALE
PRISON BREAK
WAS AVERTED

A wholesale break of the prisoners
at the state penitentiary near Carson
City was nipped in the bud by War
den Maxwell and his men last week
and now a closer watch and lookout
is being kept on the convicts owing
to the fact that the inmates would
have to make break before winter
comes if they expected to escape. |
The warden and men in charge at
the prison several days ago suspected
something was~wrong about the place
and trouble was brewing. A quiet
investigation was Immediately begun
and this finally eliminated in the
searching of the cells, the dining
room and other places were the pris7
oners had access.
In the dining room eight daggers
and stilletos, six billies and slung
shots and other weapons were dis.
covered hidden beneath tables, in
secret drawers and other places about
the building. All the weapons were
taken by the officers who thoroughly
searched every cell, all the rooms and
other places about the buildings.
Sufficient details were learned
from the convicts to know that they
planned general break and the
weapons found were to be used by
the desperate leaders in the effort to
get away.
The conditions at the prison are
unusually propitious just now for a
break owing to the fact that the
work on the installing of cells is still
in progress and the quarters are not
sufficient to accommodate the pris-
oners in the proper manner.
