The DIGESTIBILITY Of Various ANIMAL FATS

fruit. tea or coffee and little sugar
Each test period included three days,
for nine meals, a period which 1t was
found was long enough for the pur.
pose, but not Of sufficient duration
to make the diet dIstasteful.
The ration was served for ono
test period in each week followed by
a rest Of four days, during which the
subjects lived on the ordinary mixed
diet
Data were recorded with reference
TO the physical condition OF the stu
dents both before and after the ex.
perimental periods. The amounts
and Kinds of foods eaten during each
three-day experimental period were
recorded and samples Of food we're
Analysed to determine the quantity
OF protein, Fat, carbohydrate and
mineral matter retained and assimi

Results with the different fat.
employed are summarized as fol.
lows: The cocfficlents of dlgestibiI.

These values might be insufficient

including the fats named were re.
spectIyely. lard. 90 per cent: beef

values are somewhat higher than the

concluded, therefore, that the differ.
cnt fats did not exercise any unusual
eject on the digesubility OF the other
constituents OF the rations.
1t was also found that fats of
low melting point are more capable
OF complete assimilation than those
OF a high melting point, and that
fats differ in their melting point nc.

from which they are taken.

Why Children Like Candy

THILDREN like candy because
I of its properties of sugar n
food quickly absorbed by the
human system. The purpose of all
food is to supply the energy that is
wasted by physical exertion. Some
foods moro than others contain the
elements necessary to furnish this
supply and vary in the time required
70 feel their benefits.
Sugar is actually turned into real
energy within a few minutes after
It is eaten and candy gives a quick
supply OF the energy called for by
the activities OF youth. Thus the
constant need Of energizing force
by children leads them instinctively
20 crave candy.

In the HAND SHAKE

a FTER all. there may be more
n common sense than sentiment
in that queer custom Of tho
Chinese who do not shake hands
with one another. but perform this
ceremony by Sinking hands with
themselves. AS the result Of micro
scopic examinations and analyses Of
finger nail deposits scientists now
graYcly declare that there is actual
danger in shaking hands, custom
which has been branded anew as a
sprcader OF deadly diseases
Science even goes further than
this by showing from a mcdIco legal
point OF view how the analysis of
finger nail deposits viii prove OF
greatest value to police officials in
solving crime mysteries and bringing
criminals to Justice
However should any one OF your
friends suddenly refuse to shake

Infants and young children are

VETO THREAT KILLS
IMMIGRATION BILL

Washington, Aug. 23.-President
Wilson let it be known he would veto
the immigration bill If 1t came before
him again with the literacy test, and
with that the senate defeated the mo.
ton to take up the easur and re.
turned to consideration of the reve.
nue. bill.
On the presidents word that he
would veto the bill five revolving
Democrats turned about and voted
against the motion to take it up. They
are Senators Beckham, Chamberlain,
Cu1berson, Lane and Overman. They
made the vote 80 to %.
Senators Ashurst, Hardw1ck, Myers,
Smith of South Carolina and Varda-
man, all Democrats, however. stuck
to their votes to take it up.
The senate's action means that ef-
forts to consider the bill at this ses-
sion probably will be dropped.
Without the revised article Of wal,
to portions of which President Wilson
and the a department objected, the
house repassed the army %appropria-
ton bill.
