BEEF TEA AGAIN IN FAVOR.
Good Things Once More Said About
Meat Extracts.
tic and Hysienic Gazette.

From the Dietetic and Hysienic Gazette
A few years ago the value of meat ex-
tracts was il not wholly denied at least
considerably belittled by many authori-
ties on the subject. Some writers even
went SO far as to declare that with re-
spect to nutrftive value beef tea was
about on a par with sawdust.
AT the present time opinions on the
question are divided. but seem TO be reer-
ing toward the belief that meat extracts
and the like are very valuable articles OF
diet. 1t would appear, at any rate, that
extract of meat is an important adjunct
to the dietary of both healthy and sick
folk.
I'D to a recent period however little
was known as to why this was SO. or as
to the part that il plays as an aid to d.
gestion One point is assuredly certain.
that the ngestion of meat from which
these principles have been removed puts
very heavy strain on the digestive
organs In fact there is little doubt that
the extracts are essential to the enjoy

Schiff was perhaps the first to show
that the custom of preceding meal with
soup is founded upon strong physiological
reasons. Pawlow, however. has eluci-
dated this matter most fully He has
demonstrated that meat broth is an inn

juices. Meat extract and meat broth act
as appetizers.
This is the psychic effect as an eXcitant

Question by Juror.
South Pacific Wonders.
From the London News.

from the LONDON news.
One of the most interesting quests which
have ever engaged the attention of ex-
plorers will shortly be undertaken by Mr..
W. Scoresby Routledge. the traveller.
Early in August Mr.. Routledge, with his
wife and a small party-including a. navi-
eating officer lent by the admiralty, which
Is taking great interest in the expedi-
tion-will leave England in the Mana, a
2SO-ton motor auxiliary yacht. They will
attempt to solve the mystery Of the won-
derful archaeological remains of Easter
Island. in the south Pacific. and to make
q complete survey of the island. which
Is the farthest outpost of the Polynesian
race. The expedition was planned by
Mr.. Routledge In conjunction with the
authorities of the British Museum who
regard 1t as OF considerable Importance.
On the island which is about fifty
square miles in extent are immense plat
forms. facing the sea, formed of large
stones fitted together with cement. Some
Of these stones weigh five tons; and in
places the sea walls are nearly 80
feet high and over aD feet long. On the
land side OF the platforms there are broad
terraces. on which once stood colossal fig
crater. eight miles away.
On some of the platforms there are up
ward of a dozen images. now thrown
from their pedestals and lying in all di
rectiOns. The largest are thirty-seven
feet high. but the majority vary from
fourteen to sixteen feet. They are carved
in the shape of human beings. Five of
the statues were brought to England in
1858, and are now in the British Museum
On the island are also remains of stone
houses. 100 feet long by about 20
feet high 1t is to discover the origin
of these works that Mr.. Routledge is GO
ing to Easter Island. The present in
habitants of Easter Island know nothing
of their construction. BY some the theory
is held that Easter Island is part Of a
submerged continent. If this were so it
Is thought that possibly sufficient manual
labor might have been at hand to carry

Spending the Family Income.

Where the family income is distributed

If, as not infrequently happens, the
younger members are economically more
productive than the parents, the question
of parental authority often goes by the
board
Likewise family relations and govern
ment are changed from basis of mutual
love and affection to a basis of economic
productiveness. The parasite factory is
a danger spot in our industrial organiza-
tion which is capable of deep and far

the result that every one of the lads
who had been at the camp as long as a

the water. A great deal of interest in
swimming has been aroused at the camp
by inaugurating a series of contests
among the boys. In the first swimming
contests at the camp J. r. Linden won
the plunge for distance. with plunge of
forty-three feet six inches. The 25-yard
novice race was won by r. T. Wilkinson
in good time, and the 5O-yard dash. the
feature Of the program, was captured by
B. NJ. Stockett.
After the races the boys were divided
into two groups, the white and the
blue. They manned several row-boats,
and clashed In a terrific battle. in which
the blue navy sunk the boats of the
enemy and captured the entire white

Statistical comparisons apparently
show that the per capita consumption
Of wheat in this country has increased
in less than generation from four and
half bushels to about six, a little
more or less. The figuring looks con-
elusive, but the conclusion is hard to
accept, because our people have always
been pretty we'll fed and they have not
only had enough bread, but it has pretty
generally been white bread. We have
never had peasantry fed on black
bread. like continental Europe. Further
more, since breakfast cereals came into
use there has been an increase of the
use OF oats and corn.
If the consumption of wheat has in
creased one-third the only plausible ex-
planation that occurs to us is that there
used to be a great deal Of corn and rye
bread, mach Of which has been displaced
by wheat bread.
With an increased use of breakfast

the per capita consumption of wheat,

A Mania for Palaces.
From the London Chronicle

The discovery Of an intruder at Marl-
borough house is reminiscent of the ad-
ventures Of ''the boy Jones" in the early
years OF Queen Victoria's reign. In De-
cember. 1910, he gained access to Buck
ingham Palace and secreted himself there
for several days. He was detected by
the Princess Royals nurse and handed
over to the police.
The privy council examined him, but
did not think there was any cause for
alarm, and he was sentenced to three
months imprisonment as a rogue and
vagabond. But no sooner was he at liberty
ter the palace. On the last occasion the
magistrate gave him the chance of en-
listing in the navy, where he was speedily
cured of his mania for acquiring q royal
domicile.
