Those who know something OF Indian

that in Ralph Burnham's heart Four weeks
had gone by and all hope Of rescuing Miss Trux-

up on the site OF the old Kiowa encampment
There he pitched his tepee. The old fellow told
the commanding officer that he had been forced
to go out and that he had come back to his

been employed. One of the tar-oil en-

The important subject OF nutrition
mas received much attention, but it is
new suggestion that. besides correct
amounts of protein, carbohydrate and
tat, the diet must contain a minute
proportion of some mysterious sub
stance not yet understood. This idea
mas been taken up by Professor Stepp
of Giessen, in study of the food of
mice. On dried mixture of rice and
new milk the mice grew and flour
lshed, but after certain portions had
been dissolved out by alcohol and
ether, this food became SO unsuitable
that animals fed on it soon died. Some
thing essential to life had been ex-
tracted. The extract included fats,
but no improvement, and the addition
of mineral salts had no effect in pre-
serving life. 1t was concluded that
the essential substance must be a H.
poid present in milk but absent from
butter. The lipoids exist in the outer
protoplasmic layer of cells. resemble
fats in solubility in alcohol, and usu-
ally contain phosphorus and nitrogen.
The theory was confirmed by adding
an extract of dried buttermilk to the
treated food, the mice fed on the mix
ture being in good condition at the end
Of six weeks. Some lipoids have been
isolated and tested, but the particular
one necessary to existence has not
been found.
