Must Eat Protein or Die

IN FOOD protein is the most important.
| every living animal must eat protein in
some form or die. Besides being absolutely
necessary the thing which makes protein
in,portant is its scarcity The Characteristic
thing about protein is that II is one sixteenth
nitrogen Now nitrogen Is one OF the scare
est and most necessary clements of food
either for plants animals. Because it is
so scarce and because all animals must have
IL or die protein Is much more expensive
than the other four food compounds. The
chief reason why we buy such feeds as bran
oiImcal and cotton seed meal Is for their pro-
teln Now bran usually costs $50 TO $50
ton and as 1t contains about L. per cent of
djgestible protein, there are 260 pounds In
ton OF brand. II we buy bran for its protein
(and that Is the constituent which gives bran
its chief value). VIC are paying nearly 10
cents pound for protein. Protein is used
especially TO build up tissues and muscles,
and also to help produce milk. For this roa-
son young and growing animals. animals at
hard work. and pregnant OF mllk-giving ami
mails need an abundance Of protein. This Is
one OF the fundamental principles OF feeding.
We can buy protein in such foods as bran,
oimeal, cotton seed meal and tankagc.

"The Three Twins, which comes to the Elks theater soon with the full prestige of metropolitan success, having had a run of five months in Chicago at the Whitney Opera House, and one year at the Herald Square theater, New York, where it scored such tremendous success with it's beautiful music and wonderful electri- cal novelties. It is said to be the handsomest costumed company in America, including eight Parisian directoire gowns which Jos. M. Gaites purchased in Paris especially for this production, which presents a ray of beauty when worn by the beautiful and shapely girls. The company is tremendously large one, and owing to the vast amount of heavy electrical equipment and scenery it requires two baggage cars to transport it. The electrical aerial swing weights 4,00O pounds, and is illuminated with 200 electric lights and when revolving with six beautiful show girls in the basket, it is said to present a most beautiful picture. There are many musical numbers that are hits, ''The Cuddle Song" showing the Seven Ages of Cuddling. is one of the most elaborate and sentimental stage pie lures that has been produced in re- cent years.

 The Three Twins is headed by Victor Morley who created the title role when the show was produced at the Whitney Opera House in Chicago and includes Bessie Clifford, Florenz Kolb, W. H. Woodside, Frank Smith, E. P. Bower, Harry Hanlon, Albert Livingston, Harry Johnson, Minnie AL len, Helen Salinger, Ada Clifford, Ada Bateman, Lillian Sadler and chorus of sixty people.
