Milk-Fat, Tissue Fat, and Food Fat.

series Of nutrition experiments is
being conducted on cattle at the Wis
consin Agricultural Experiment Station.
The animals have been kept over long
periods four years-on food derived
from a single plant; wheat. corn, oats,
or a mixture of these. This afforded
an unusual opportunity for making a
study of the influence of qualitively un-
like rations on the composition of the
milk and the tissues under comparable
conditions of environment. 1t will be
observed that here is the old question
Of breed versus feed The problem
at issue it not a new one, and the ques-
tior of the influence of diet on milk Sc
cietion, says The journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, has peculiar
interest to the physician. 1t cannot be
denied that foreign substances such as
certain drugs may readily pass into the
milk. That a surfeit of foreign fats
will undoubtedly influence to some ex-
tent the character of the fats secreted
in the milk is beyond question. But
in most respects-and this is supported
By the Wisconsin investigation referred
tO-"the character of the fats secreted
is influenced more by individual meta
bolism than by the character of the
food intake. This is particularly true
when the fat content of the intake is
not excessive and the content only that
incident to normal feeding materials"
In harmony, moreover, with the findings
that the widely divergent rations had
little direct or positive influence on the
chemical constitution of the fats secreted
in the milk were the facts noted in con-
nection with the tissues examined. The
variations that did occur were more of
an individual nature. Judging by the
Wisconsin studies, in connection with
many others, the oils in corn, oats or
wheat are so markedly different from
those stored in the tissues of animals
fed exclusively on these grains, that very
important processes must have been ac-
tive in their deposition. Fat transporta-
ton cannot account for all; transforma-
ton must play an added role

True Love.

Her husbands short and bald and fat
And rather duh, to speak the truth.
His Conversations very fiat,
He hasn't looks, or charm, or youth.
Yet when She reads book about
Some brilliant hero, tall and slim.
She breathes, Hes grand! Without a
doubt
He's just like Jim!"
His wife is dumpy. very plain.
With mousy hair and shiny nose,
Yet when He reads of "Fair ELAINE
As beauteous as any Rose"
He mods serenely at his wife
As happy husbands often do.
And thinks, "Elane-npon my life
Is just like Sue!"
And though we cannot see as they
For all we know they may be right
For if love takes the sight away
He gives sort of second sight.
So that--to meet the perfect test
To prove their merit, as it were.
Folks should resemble what is best"

PAYING FOR THE MAIL or 9TH
ERS,

One-cent letter postage is inevitable,
according to officers of the United
State postoffice department.
James j. Britt, third assistant post
master general. speaking at Cleveland
on behalf Of Postmaster General Hitch
cock and the department, declared def
initely and emphatically that just as
soon as readjustment of postal rates
can be brought about, one-cent post
age will be possible.
} The government is making an aver
age profit Of sixty five cents per year
rom every man, woman and child in
, the United States. according to Cen
eral Britts estimate, through the pos
tai department on the carrying Of let
ters. The department. actual profit
is carefully estimated &C $62.0S1, $3.50. 65.
On the other hand. every man, woman
and child. some $4,000, 600 Of them, is
each paying the government a tax of
sixty eight cents per year for the loss
|occasioned by the distribution of other
classes Of mail under existing rates
that was being estimated at $5s, 1885,
Gs2.7s.
/ The United States postoffice touch
es the door of every person in this
country" declared General Britt. in
his address. The department not only
carries the pathetic epistle of the wee
child who writes appealingly to Santa
Claus, but caters directly to every
man and woman in every class up to
: the great business houses which send
out millions of letters each year. No
other triflng expenditure carries with
J it SO much significance as the pur-
chase and use of a postage stamp.
There have been many difficult
problems which we, as officials, have
been brought face to face with, and
which we have attempted to solve
Those responsible for the administra-
/ ton Of the postal establishment feel
that it should receive sufficient rev
enue to pay its own way. There is
every reason why it should be man
ged so that it will be self-sustaining
There are "a number of reasons why
The government should conduct the
Eostottice and mail-carrying system OF
his great country. 1t can carry and
deliver mail cheaper than a private
corporation, 1t can make delivery in
@ shorter length of time 1t can safe
guard and protect the mails. Since
$50. postal rates have been woefully
cut Of joint. First class mail, con
sisting chiefly Of letters, has paid
enormous profits to the government
On the other hand, other classes OF
mail have been handled at an equally
enormous loss"

A PROSPECT.

We are told that the footwear of
yrhe American public is to cost them

year because shoes have been advanced
so cents a pair because Of the increase
in the cost of leather.
| In the quarter of a century between
1880 and 1905 the value of the product
Of American shoe factories rose from
iS1e&06O,s54 to 1926, 10T45s, an increase

increase in the value of output of

As respects cost of material, the
value of the dressed leather produced
rose from 5000. 264,944 In 1880 to
s252 620,sS6 in 1905. That leather has
become dearer is undeniable. But has
tit increased in price to an extent in
any way justifying the proposed in
crease in the price of shoes? While
sole leather cost 217 cents a pound in
1910, it cost PA cents in 1906 and q
cents in 1907.
Since leather has been made free Of
duty and everything done to keep
prices reasonable that could be done

a general and heavy reduction of tar

past tariff laws for most of their
business and financial success. A few
weeks ago, while the tariff bill was

was in part as follows:
There are whole communities built
up on a tariff schedule on some man

sudden lowering of the tariff on any
