MAN WHO CRUSHED
REVOLT ARRESTED
Rennenkampff, Ruthless Sup
pressor of 1905 Revolution,
Now a Prisoner.
NO BIG TROOP MOVEMENT

London, March ia Reuters dis
patch from Petrograd says:
Among the latest arrests are Cen
eral Rennenkamptf, the ruthless sup
pressor of the revolution II 1905. and
Serge Kryjanovsky, former secretary
of state and the framer OF the cleo
toral law restricting suffrage.
Regarding the reports i'll the early
stage OF the revolution that govern
ment troops were fastening to Pctro-
grad from the front, the daily news
bulletin contains the following.
THE ministry of communications
learns that with one exception pas
sengers on the railroads have been
normal. The exception occurred at
one Of the functions of the North
western railway, where there was a
considerable delay owing to the trans
port from Mohilev of a body of
Cavaliers of St. George, commanded
by General lvanotf, who formerly
commanded the First Army corps.
General lvanoff caused great confu-
sion, even chaos, everywhere, and
threatened the employees with sum-
mary punishment if the train was de-
layed. His threats, however. were in
vain. The troop train got no further
than Vyrilza, where it was halted and
sent back.
Count Kokovsoff was placed un-

ceive his salary as a member. of the

CHEESE AND CANDY
RICH IN FOOD VALUE
University of Omaha Chemistry
Glass Makes Investigation
of Dietary Articles.
SWEETS FURNISH ENERGY

Should we cat so much candy and
rich foodsl" is a question that is often
asked, and the members OF the food
chemistry classes of the University
Of Omaha have looked up the answer
and have found other relative infor-
nation. They do not condemn the
use OF good candy, but instead en-
dorse it.
1t is a fact, the class found, that
well prepared chocolate and creams
offer as good balanced diet as could
be wished. The richness of cocoa,
which contains very high percentage
of fats and protein, is balanced by the
sugar which is mostly carbohydrates.
People often wonder how children
can eat so much candy and not get
sick. The reason for this is very SIM
pie. As the child grows and plays
great deal OF energy is being con-
sumed continually.
Candy Supplies Energy.
Candy can supply this energy in
stantly, as it is a we'll known fact that
the human stomach assimiliates sug-
ars very readily. We also wonder why
we lose our appetite il we cat con-
siderable amount of sweets. AS has
been said before, the candy is very
rich and can supply the required
caiorihc value quickly and by the use
Of small quantities. Therefore, when
we eat candy the eating crave is sat
ished and we no longer feel hungry.
Another question asked is. "Why
do people eat more fats and candy in
winter than they do in warm wealth
err" The answer TO this is found i'll
the fact that the body has to supply
more heat in cold weather than it does
when it is warm. II more heat is nee
essary, more energy is used up and
consequently more fuel must be con-
sumed. Another fact is that fats
can furnish heat almost Immediately
after being taken into the body.
Captain Cooks Gumdrops.
Here it was pointed out that Cook
fed the Esquimos on gumdrops and
that the natives went wild over them.
The class condemned compressed
foods. They declared that nature so
combines and prepares food as to
make them suitable for human use. II
compressed they are generally
changed in some dietetic respect.
A peculiar fact was brought out
about the use of cheese and sugar in
the United States. 1t was shown that
the average American eats about
three pounds of the former per year
while the use OF the latter is twenty
FIVE times as much Cheese is consid.
cred a very good food and the class
thinks more OF il should be used.
