Old Theories Disproven on Digesti-
bility or Starch

Old Theories Disproven on Digesti-
biIity or Starch
1t has been generally believed that
raw starch was harmful, and that all
starchy foods shuld be subjected to
thorough cooking to be digested prop
erly by the human body. Cornstareh
and similar buildings, quickly made,
were tabooed by those who held to
the belief that raw starch could not
be tiigested The idea that raw starch
is not digestible has been proven
erroneous, at least in the case of
healthy adults In a series of expert
ments conducted by the Office of
Home Economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, it has been
found that cornstarch were all digest
ed completely when eaten in frozen
pudding in which they constituted as
much as twenty per cent of the entire
dish. Raw potato starch later in the
same kind of pudding was found to be
less. digestible, giving an average OF
1872 per cent digestibility and similar
results were obtained with other tube1
and root starches. The textbook
statement that raw starch is not di
gestible will now have to be changed,
and persons who have feared a harm
full effect from the presence of raw
starch in foods may allay all apprehen
sion.

WOMEN NOT To WORK

General Lewis T. Bryant, commits
sioner Of labor or New Jersey, and
federal director of employment for
New Jersey. desires to call the at
tention of the managers and owners
of mercantile establishments to the
fact that Chapter 1914, Laws of 1921,
does not permit the employment of
females more than tel. hours in any
one day. and six days. or ffty-four
hours in any m week. That part
of Chapter ZIG. Laws of 1912. which
formerly allowed the employment
overtime of females for the six
working days next preceding the
twenty-fifth day of December in
each year was repealed during the
last session of the legislature. and
such overtime employment is not
permissible under the la o oper-
alive.
AS any violation is punishable by
a fine of not more than $50 for a
first offense, and not more than $500
for a second ~offense, it is hoped that
particular attention will be paid to
this provision of the law at this time.

HEALTH BOARD
PLAN
Find Present Rooms Too
Small Discussed at Last
Nights Session

Besides being inconveniently situ-
ated on the third floor of City Hall,
the Board of Health headquarters
are entirely too small and made
quate to suit the needs of the depart
ment. it was unanimously agreed at
the regular meeting of the board
last night. A board of health, il
was set forth, should have its depart
ment in d central location, where
every phase of the city's health work
can be concentrated in the one place,
and wher.. demonstrations of the ac-
tivites can be set forth in a visible
manner, as far es possible.
At the present time, it was stated.
the clinics are scattered in various
parts of the city, the building is out
of the way, and there are no facili-
ties for heath displays. The made
quacy of the present headquarters
was made especially manifest last
night when It was told that, accord
ing to the law, the bureau Of vital
statistics which is now in the hands
Of the city clerk, should be underline
supervision OF the Board of Health.
This bureau requires the services
of a special clerk and a consider
able space for files and other neces-
sary paraphernalia as well as a con-
venIent place for applicants to wait.
At the present time, this is en-
tirely out Of the question as the
board of health rooms at City Hall
are too small for the work as IL is
being carried on at this time. AL
though no action was taken to ask
for such building, the commissioners
feel very keenly that n is abso-
lutely necessary and the need is con-
tinually growing. 1t is thought thai
the discussion may develop into a
material project in the near future.
Another subject of importance
that came before the meeting was
the matter of the 1922 budget. 1t
was shown that. by the end of the
year almost 80, 1000 will have been
spent by the department for salar-
les and to carry on its work, and
that the amount was kept down only
by practicing strict economy
throughout the year. 1t was decided
that the aldermen be asked TO en-
dorse a buc get of $4,000. The fin
ance committee Will meet with the
Board of Aldermen Friday night,
upon request to state their case.
The dental clinic which has been
functioning here for several months
under the auspices of several or
which co-operated to
start the institution, was discuss
ed last night. 1t was thought that
in the very e a future. this clinic
would be taken over by the Board
of Health exclusively, as the efforts
Of the State Dental Association. the
Red Cross and the Board of Edu-
cation were put forth only for it's
installation. The dental clinic, il
stated, is one OF the most sue
cessful of all those of various ma
lures established here and has done
some very laudable work since its
installation.

The two men scraped an ac-

into intimacy with surprising speed

of the week the confidence men
offered to let their victim in on the
ground floor of a real estate deal.
The land presented for sale was
exceptionally reasonable in price
and Fekerty was inclined to buy.
According TO Mr.. Fekerty's story
as related to Captain of Detectives

the sale of the bargain property
went along swimmingly until lat

found friends suddenly proposed
that the money intended to buy the
real estate be invested In an enter
