LEAD IN MONTANA.
Ores In the esarpaw Mountains May
Prove Valuable.

Ores In the 6sarpaw Mountains May
Prove Valuable.
The approaching exhaustion Of the
worlds richer known lead producing
districts gives special interest to the
study of any possible source Of lead in
countries where increasing prices or
improved methods may soon make
even low grade deposits valuable. Ac-
cordingly the United States geological
survey has published a report by L. j.
Pepperberg on the little known lead
field of the Bearpaw mountains, in
Montana.
The region considered was long ago
%prospected for gold and silver. but no
valuable mineral deposits we're found
until about 1888, when work was be-
gun on a vein of ar%gentiferous galena
near Lloyd. A claim on this vein was
patented in 1892. but work was sus-
pended because it proved to be un-
profitable. Since that time several 9TH
err claims have been patented, and
some work has been done. though no
ore has yet been produced.
The rocks In this region are widely
mineralized. The ores were probably
deposited by hot waters ascending
from great depths. Later. during the
long continued wearing down Of the
Bearpaw mountains by erosion and
w%eathering. the metallic minerals were
dissolved, carried down again into the
rocks by rainwater and redeposited
In concentrated form within moderate
distances Of the surface.
The ore contains a little gold. forty
or fifty ounces Of silver to the ton and
80 or GO per cent Of lead and is easily
crushed and concentrated. More
thorough prospecting in this region
may develop ore bodies Of greater
value.

DIET FADS ATTACKED.
Physician Disputes Some Ideas About
Foods ard Nutrition,

Physician Disputes Some Ideas Abou.
Foods and Nutrition.
4 Britisher is your true "knocker''
Of fads. provided he turns at all in
that direction. DR.. A. L. Benedict has
taken this tangent and has set about
disputing a lot Of ideas concerning
foods and nutrition.
Few people. comparatively, eat too
much; most of them. through fad
foods, economy and lack Of condition
for a normal appetite, don't eat
enough.
A cooked egg is more no~urishing
than an egg eaten raw.
Sugar, used to the extent Of three to
four ounces a day, is one of the cheap
est and best foods for the develop
ment of energy; If not all digested, it
isn't as harmful to the digestive or
gans as are the undigested fats and
proteids.
Starch never advances far toward d.
gestion in the stomach; the pancreas
deals with it easily and effectively.
Fruits, nuts, desserts and the like
are unnecessary to the physical needs
Of the system.
Excepting the olive, almost the only
vegetable foods that contain appreci-
able fats r nuts.
Meat and many vegetables contain
as much phosphorus or brain food"
rs does the fishiest fish.
A Welsh rabbit is sterile, highly nu-
tritious and no harder to digest than
is milk curd. It's what you drink with
it after midnight that hurts.
The best bouillon and other clear
soups have about 6 per cent Of proteid
content. Beef tea is about as nourish-
ing as Is the water in which an egg
has been poached.
OF eggs and milk, the calories of a
days rations should call for twenty
FIVE eggs or three quarts Of milk. AS
to raw oysters. % pounds yield fifty
calories, which is about one-twelfth
Of what a person needs Of proteid.
No healthy person should be a semi
invalid after a meal. requiring a

meal is as bad as boiling it.-Chicago
