DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS

FAT IN THE DIET.

Experiments recently made at
the Storrs experiment station
show that when calves are fed
on milk containing a low per
centase of fat they do better
than on a milk especially rich in
fat. The supposition that a GER
tain amount Of fat is necessary
or beneficial under all circum-
stances in the daily ration is not
correct. Animals do very we'll
without any fat. The liver can
produce fat from the starch. The
tendency Is to use too much ami
NAL fat, in the form Of lard and
other animal products, which,
with insufficient mastication,
often seriously lnterferes with
digestion by coating the starch
and thus preventing the access
Of saliva.

TOWNS TRIBUTE TO
AMERICAN HUMORIST
Mark TWaiR'S Home Becomes
Public Memorial

Hannibal, Mo, May 15-The boy
hood home of Mark Twain, which
stands on a small plot of ground
20 10 < So 1-2 feet, on Hill street in
Hannibal, will be publicly dedicated
as a memorial to Mark Twain today.
The old home was built bp Mary
Twain's father John Marshall Glenn
ents in 1874 The building is in the
old part of the city and the other
buildings on adjoining lots are in
perfect harmony with the antiquated
appearance of the old home In the
same block with the old home is the
boyhood home of Huckleberry Finn
(Tom Blankenship) and less than a
block away is Holiday Hill.
The home was recently purchased
by Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Mahan and
decided to the City of Hannibal to be
perpetually maintained as a memoir
ial to Mark Twain, and before deciding
the house to the city, Mr.. Mahan had
it thoroughly repaired, care being TAX
en- to preserve the old home exactly
as it was when Mark Twain lived in
it,
A bronze tablet, modelled by Miss
Angelica Schuyler Church of New
York, has been placed on the wall of
the front room downstairs. The bust
and head of Mark Twain shown on the
tablet are pronounced by his friends
to be the best that ever has been
| made of him. A marker has been
placed on the outside of the building,
near the front door, which reads as
| follows:
\ \ y \ \ \ \ y y y y y
\ The BOyhOOd Home of Mark =

Erected i'm 1874 =

| In addition to the tablet, there has
been placed in the front room life
sized photograph of Mark Twain pre-
scented to the home by the executors
of Clemens estate, Jarvis Langdon
Edward f. Loomis and Zoheth S
! Freeman. In sending the picture t.
Mr.. Mahan, Mr.. Langdon has the fol-
lowing to say of the picture:
1T may be of interest to you c
know little more about the picture
1t was one of several made at Dublin
n. H., about September |, 1907. Mr.
| Clemens spent one or two summers
at Dublin in the New Hampshire hills
just previous to the time wheI
"Stormtield" was built in the roug?
Connecticut country near Redding. Thi.
picture was taken while he was dictat
ing his autobiography and the photo
grapher was none other than Mr.
Albert Bigelow Paine, his friend an(
