CATTAILS HAVE FOOD VALUE
Investigation Has Shown Them to Con-
tain Satisfactory Amount of
Needed Protein.

Flour from the cattails of the
swamps has been found by the plant
chemical laboratory at Washington TO
contain about the same amount of pro-
tein as rice and corn flours with some
what less fat than wheat flour, and it
was regarded as promising substi-
tute with wheat flour to the extent of
10 to 20 per cent. In the investigation,
of which he has given an account in
the Scientific Monthly, Prof. P. w.
Claassen tried the flour in several
ways, both as part substitute with
wheat flour in baking and as corn
starch substitute for buildings. Bis
cults containing 30 and even 100 per
cent of this flour proved to be palat-
able, not very different from those of
wheat flour alone, while the buildings
had an agreeable flavor and were sat
isfactory. The flour material is OBJ
tanned from the large underground
rootstalks or rhizomes, of which II
forms a starch core three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter. The dried
rhtzomes from an acre of cattails were
shown to equal 1922 pounds, and the
core substance, passed through a
meat grinder and sifted, yielded fine
flour at the rate of $500 pounds pei
acre. Many thousand acres of cattail
marshes are included in the 1885
square miles of swamp land of the
United States.

The Variety of RooseUeifs Investments
BY JOHN NJ. OSKISON

A MONG thrift takers Theodore Roosevelt
IA used to be quoted along with Ben
Franklin. In his opinion the first duty of
n man 10 his family was TO get ahead of the
days need, TO lay up something in the way
Of investment.
Recently the complete inventory of prop
erty left by T. X. was made public by the
New York state tax authorities IL fur
nishes an interesting study in diversity, for
there are represented on the list fifteen diff
ferent stock issues and thirty-eight bond
issues
Roosevelt either knew n good security or
followed good counsel. OF the fifteen stock
issues passing TO his estate only two are
set down as Of no value-and of one of
these he held only three shares. Three New
York bank stocks and the stocks of such
railroads as Pennsylvania, Atchison pre-
feTed. and Great Northern preferred
showed the conservatism of his investment
policy
His heaviest bond investment was in the
government Liberty issues-the first, third
and fourth. He put $75.050 in them. In
but two other bonds were his holdings as
great as in the first issue of Liberties, the
I3lss, into which he put 100000. He had,
also. $1,000 Of the Canadian victory loan,
due in 1923. and $4,000 of the Anglo
French bonds. payable in 1920.
Three thousand dollars invested. in Mex
lean bonds was written off as a loss, and
$4,000 Rock Island bonds of an old issue
were set down as of no value On the whole.
