COLONEL ROOSEVELT
IN A MINERS HUT

in Coal Fields.

The Colonel Takes Up Sociology and
Breezes Into Dickson. Pa, IMAM

in Streets-Accompanies Coal Be-
grined Miner to His Home.

Scranton. Pa. Special Mr.. Roose-
welt has turned sociologist He mas for
saken the field Of politics for the time
being and i now social worker. He
came into the heart Of the anthracite
coal regions OF Central Pennsylvania 10
see how the miners live and what they
do. The Colonel. with all Of his charac-
teristie vigor and energy, spent 10 hours
visiting the homes OF the workers. in
specting the mines themselves and taking
"a look into the conditions OF the Young
women who are employed in the silk
mills near here. He had a perfectly bully
time. The mystery OF his sudden dis
appearance from New York has been
solved
The Colonel admitted that on his way
across the Atlantic six weeks ago he was
attracted By an article in a magazine
describing the folks who live in these
neglected parts. He thought that some
thing ought TO be done for the uniortu-
mates who have no means of real legiti-
mate amusement when they emerge from
the dark racesses OF the mines or the
stuffy silk mills. He decided TO come up
and see FOR himself and travel incoguito
il possible.
Mr. Roosevelt has done many things.
He has shot wild game. played politics.
tennis and ever 30 many other pastimes.
but despite the hand he had in the dis
putes OF the coal miners he never saw
AZ close range how they do il. He
travelled through the Lackawanna valley
in an automobile. whizzed over dirty. hot
roads. had lunch in dairy establish
ment. where there were not enough
glasses 10 60 around. and met the men
who whooped it up for him until the
Colonel beamed and beamed. The identity
Of the eX-President was unknown for a
good part Of the trip
Rough. hearty workers. covered with
SCOT. grasred his hand and told him that
he was the goods. He liked that. too.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that his idea in
coming up here was merely TO inspect
and nothing else He said that any con
illusions to be drawn from this fying
visit will be drawn bv him.

According to this writer the p'aca
where the first scientific dietiria,sI
went wrong is this: The muscle
when it does work consumes its own
substance. There is 10 gpas.;oa
about that. But it does not consume
all its constituents equally. Tba
early psychologists assumed tia. II
does. and that therefore the waste ia
to be renewed only by foods such a,
cheese. beans, peas. milk and es.
pecially meat, all of which. like The
muscle itself. contain nitrogen.
LAS a matter of fact. a fact which
was proved the very first time the
matter was tested BY direct experi.
ment and has never been Questioned
since. the working muscle uses m its
non-nitrogenous constituents. and
needs therefore to be renewed nv
Neutrality-suspicious. oodstufs-starches
fats, sugars, gums and the like.
In fact, as We know now. the
muscle is essentially a million cvlin.
iered explosion engine. built Of meat
but working on bread and butter.
precisely as the simpler engines Of
automobiles and motor boats are
built of steel and work on gasoline.
What is true of the muscle is true
also of nerves and glands and other
tissues of the body, except that they
do vastly less work than the muscles.
and need therefore vastly less food
OF any sort.
"All gas engines. then. whether
they happen to be built OF steel or Of
protoplasm, use up their weigh, of
fuel many times over before they
wear out their substance once. With
this discoyery-that the muscle
works on a non-nitrogenous 'mus,le-
sugar, present in minute quantities,
rapidly consumed and rapidly re-
newed-departed forever the ancient
rigid divisions of foods into fuel
foods muscle formers, tissue build
ers' and the rest.
