Iowa City, Aug. 22.--White rats AND

great mission of white rats in this
world is to establish the proper die
for little babies. And every day in the
laboratory Of the child welfare research
station at the state University of Iowa
they are carefully fed with a quantity
proportion and variety Of food very
carefully noted. This research WORE
is being done by DR.. Amy Daniels, pro
fessor of nutrition, who has made some
very interesting discoveries thru mel
research work with aniwals.
1T has been proved" Dr. Daniels
points out. "th"t chemical analysis o.
food is not sufficient to determine IL
true value to the human system. Thus
altho beans show a chemical foo'
value about as high as meat, they d'
not provide as much nourishment by
any means In the same way. aIth'
wheat is popularity supposed to be the
most nourishing cereal, other grains
are Just as nutritious. Chemical tests
having been proved insufficient, prac-
teal study Of food values may be made
thru animals"
In the majority Of cases food under
which the rats thrive will be equally
good for babies. However, in some In
stances 1t has been found necessary t.
vary the percentage to a slight de-
gree.
The work with rats has been Of par
ticular value in feeding babies who
are treated at the Children's hospita
under the Perkins law. Within the
last year methods have been greatly
improved. and there is II much better
understanding of the kinds and pro-
portion of different foods which are
best for babies. a very complete milk

said:
1.-The result Of war on religion and
religious life has not yet been made

influences have not tended TO prevent
soldiers from entering The ministry,
and It has been my experience that
divinity students who we've semewhas
