JOHN D. HAS PURCHASED BIG
HUNK OF GLORY
New York, Dec. "a. = In the last
year John D. Rockefeller has pur-
chased ten and a half million dollars
worth of glory as an educational
phflanthropist by distributing that
amount of money to state colleges
and universities, according to re-
port issued by the general education
board.
Tennessee received $s25, 900; Tex
as. $4OO, 900; Ohio, $3.50, 900; Illinois,
$500. 900; Minnesota, $3.50, 900; Iowa,
1896 BIB, and other states larger or
smaller donations.
Even Colorado, scene of carnage
not long since when gunner
imported by the Rockefeller inter-
-ests shot down miners and murdered
their wives and children, owes credit
to the philanthropist to the extent
of s2OO,0 900 donated to universities.
But it is from Colorado that the
piteous appeal has come for clothing
for almost naked children and food
for starving miners and their fam
lilies.

Somewhat uneX- bsted is the fact that, under conditions, fat ami |nak take up decidedly less wood alcohol exhibited as vapor ad- mixed with air than do lean sub- |ects This is due, according to lhe Journal of the Amreican Medical Association, to the poor |solubllity of methyl alcohol in |fats, a fact demonstrated by the Eeman Investigators contrary |b the current beliefs of the rel stlvely ready solubility of the lower K! alcohols in fats and fat |ke substances.
