Ras Made Valuable Discovery.

BY means of that invaluable little
creature, the guinea pig, Prof. Rut-
ledge Rutherford, a ply ysiologist cf
Chicago, has finally unearthed and
identified a remarkable substance
which he has Eamed "trophogen" or
'bitrophen," which means "to produce
lourishmelt and life" His expert
nents began with guinea pigs; were
confirmed afterward upon mice, chick
ems kittens and other animals, and
there is not the slightest doubt that
bis great discovery will lead at once
to the rewriting CT all our knowledge
upon foods and nutrition.
Trophogen is an allsustaining nutr1-
ment that is absolutely essential to
life. It is widely distributed in every
known food, and without it-that is,
by trying to nourish yourself on sup
posed foods that do not contain it
death quickly occurs. 1t occurs in al
called protein-foods,

ORGAN GRINDERS DAY

TON STREET MUSICIAN.
Story From the Capital Concerning
French and German Ambassadors
Is Good One, Though 1t Is
Not Offisiai.

It was before the war came in grim
earnest. of course, but here is the
form in which a perfectly respectable
old story used to be told over the Gig
arettes in Washington. When the gov
ernments of France and Germany
were merely barking at each other
across the conference table, it hap
pened one day that an Italian organ
grinder, strolling along the streets of
Washington, planted his instrument
of torture on the curb in front of the
German legation and began grinding
out the Marseillaise.
The strains Of Frances great ma
tional air fell upon the ears of the
German ambassador, Count Bernstorff,
as he sat within, deep in the diplo-
matte puzzles of his Office, and frown
overspread his brow; for the Germans,
though music-loving people, love not
the tune of the Marseillaise. How
ever, he passed the incident, as a
momentary annoyance, and buried
himself deeper in his work.
When the musician. having reached
the end of the Marseiilaise, proceeded
to adjust his machine and play 1t
over again, the ambassador grew rest
less. And when the third round be-
gan, Count Bernstorff's patience broke
under the strain. Hammering upon his
call-bell, he summoned an attendant
go out and drive that fellow from
the block!" he commanded, and was
turning again to his work when a
bright idea flashed upon him. Here,
wait a moment" he called, and, draw
ing coin from his pocket, save the
valet some instructions along with the
money.
The valet, swiftly making his way to
the street, addressed the organ
grinder.
"Can you play Die Wacht am
Rhein?'" he asked.
"Yes, sure, Mike, play him." re-
piled the son of Italy, in the lingo of
the country.
do you know where M'sieur JUS
serand, the French ambassador, lives ?''
now queried the servant.
Eyes, yes, sure, Mike, I know" re-
sponded the dago.
"Well, here's half-dollar," said the
servant, handing him the coin. 81
want you to go up to Ambassador JUS
serand's house and play Die Wacht
am Rhein' for Is minutes without stop
ping. Understand?
Eyes, yes, sure, Nike" exclaimed
the dago eagerly, and, singing his or
gan across his back, as he prepared to
move on, added proudly:

Deposits Of Phosphate Rock.

While the states Of Florida, Tennes-
see and South Carolina have for many
years been the principal sources of
phosphate rock in the United States,
it is believed that the main produc-
tion in the future will probably come
from the great deposits of phosphate
rock on public lands in Idaho, Utah,
Wyoming and Montana. While George
town is the only village strictly with

Soda Springs are closely adjacent. An

SAW HIS OPPORTUNITY
FOUNDATION OF WILLIAM A
CLARk's IMMENSE FORTUNE.
MultimilIionaire Has Never Forgotten
the Incident That Gave Him His
First Boost Toward His Won.
derful Success.

The power to foresee and predict
the future, to take advantage of that
foresight, and the ability to pile up
millions out Of an event that other
men blindly pass by is a factor in
the lives of many important men. SEN
ator William A. Clark, the Montana
copper king, can trace the foundation
OF his vast fortune to single incident
away back in the sixties Like all
big men, he does not disdain to re-
call the lucky moment when the win
ming card was played that placed him
on the road to gigantic fortune and
prodigious success.
He was keeping trading store In
Salt Lake with flour at $3.50 for a
5O-pound barrel, and ham at 81 a
pound, when his lucky moment ar
rived. He had been teamster, trader,
miner-anything and everything that
seemed to hold chance of success
and to all these different callings he
had devoted arduous and incessant
labor
He had toiled for nine months with
his back bent double over promising
streams, often up to his knees in ice
cold water to find himself with $500,
all told, as the result of this heart
breaking labor. He had driven OK
teams and mule teams in all sorts of
weather across a wild country, with
Indians constant menace, and the
chance Of death By the roadside lurk-
ing in every clump of stunted fir. To
open his trading store in Salt Lake
he had driven an OK team 800 miles
through a rough wilderness, bought
goods and started in to be his own
freighter. In one year the 800 had
risen to $780,
Then the incident occurred which
brought him luck. The citizens of
Last Chance Gulch (now Helena) were
threatened with tobacco famine,
since the steamer bearing the consign-
ment had been sunk on the Missouri
river, and no man but Clark had the
foresight or courage to realize what
it meant. Tobacco was the most pre-
cious freight that Last Chance Gulch
could conceive. The news of the loss
! &c ..ii1o steamer sent them into a fury
of rage, but no man thought of a plan
| tations and curses were the order of
| the day.
Clark saw all this, and he saw, too,
| that it was his time to act. He har-
J messed his horse, and in the middle
| OF winter, with the thermometer 28
| degrees below zero, started to ride
the 250 miles that lay between Last
| Chance Gulch and Boise City. Hardly
anyone who saw him start expected to
see him return alive but Clark knew
his own vitality, gained through early
years OF rlowboy labor, and he was
| determined to see the thing through.
On January / he drove into Helena
| with 1000 pounds of tobacco On his
| wagon. It had cost him $1,000, but
le sold it for $4,000, and found him
| self the most popular man in camp.

Tioer Huntjnu and War.

In the last year for which statistics
are available, 767 human beings in
India were killed by tigers. Along one
line of Himalayan railway, the depre-
dations of these ferocious brutes have
been so great that the company is
building tiger-proof stations for its
signalmen, many of whom have been
carried off and devoured.
Evidently there will be opportunities
after the war to use those "virile vir
tues which militarism claims to de-
velop. To hunt man-eating tigers on
foot takes at least as much valor as is
required to perform any ordinary feat

SPOR 7 s
bill HAYWARD TALKS
ABOUT RUNNING 22O
Finely Muscled Legs With Poor
Back. Shoulders and Abdomen
Above, OF Little Use, He Says.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu-
gene. May 26.-The athlete who tries
to run the 220 yard dash without a
body development equal to his leg de.
velopment is like a beautiful engine
with a poor boiler, according to VIII
liam Hayward, veteran track trainer
of the state university.
"Notice the weak man when he be-
gins to run a 220,'' said Hayward
First his head begins to go back on
his shoulders, then his body gets a
backward lean, and finally his legs be-
gin to fan the air as IL they were run .
ming away from his body. All good
form in running Is lost for the simple
reason that the back, shoulders and
muscles of the abdomen cannot stand
the strain when called upon to re-
spond. A great many of our young
athletes pay too much attention to the
development of the legs and point
with pride to the beautifully rounded
muscles. Consider this: How far
could a strongly built, beautiful en-
gine go with a poor boiler? 1t stands
to reason that 1t would not go for
any great amount of time with the
small supply of steam the boiler could
produce. Our bodies are the same;
we are no stronger than our weakest
part and the muscles of the upper
parts are the boilers which furnish the
energy to carry those of the lower
part, the legs, over the ground.
ITO develop these weaker parts
then shall be our aim and, after all
it is very simple Lie on the back
and raise the legs slowly. allowing the
feet to descend to the starting point
gradually each time. This will tense
the muscles of the abdomen. Ther
after several performances of leg
raising, remain in the same position
and slowly raise the body withou
lifting the feet from the ground ol
floor; when a sitting position has beer
reached do the same thing over agair
until tired.
The next exercise is that of pivot
ing. Lie on your stomach. extend tn
feet and legs as straight out as pos
sible and then raise the head and leg
at the same time until you pivot up
on the stomach. This is a very heal
thy form of exercise and one mucl
used.
"Bag-punching boxing. club-swing
ing and deep breathing not only de
velop the muscles referred to. but de
velop the heart and lungs. These eS
ercises should be made a part of tn
4 everyday training"
