Science VS.. Life.

An officer of the medical corps OF
the regular army has filed a protest
against the reduction of the food of
soldiers to what is termed a scientific
basis. The figures as to starches and
proteids may work out in the labora-
tory, he says, but they fail to leave
satisfying feeling in the stomachs
of enlisted men.

assayer can save every trace of gold

about them. Yet the laboratory steel
and that produced by the same for
mula in the mills are often two very
different materials. No stamp mill,
