HAVE NEED OF MUCH FOOD
Torscious Appetites of Growing Boys
Are Natural and Not to Be
Wondered At.

DR.. E. F. Du Bots made extensive
studies a few years ago ON the food
requirements of growing boys, and
found that they needed about 25 per
cent more than grown men, weight
for weight. Now Drs. f. G. Benedict
and Mary F. Hendry have made sim
liar studies ON girls between twelve
and seventeen years of age. These
correspond in their results with those
made by DIR. Du Bots.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association comments that, con-
sidered in connection with the usually
lively muscular activities of children,
which call for liberal expenditure of
energy, the facts ascertained explain
and justify the large appetites of grow
ing boys.

they are much smaller than horses.
Now of course we don't look like

But We do look something like

C0CKAT00 KILLS BIG ROOSTER
Bird, at Outs With Barnyard Fowl,
Wins Battle at Mar
tinez, Cal.

Martinez, Gala bitter battle was
fought at the home of B. F. Rhine,
local merchant, by two-pound cOcka-
too and an eight-pOund rooster.
The diminutive cockatoo proved
that weight does not always prevail,
for after taking severe grueling for
almost five minutes he grabbed the
rooster in the windpipe with his sharp
beak, administering the death blow.
According to Rhine, the pair had
been at outs for several weeks. One
morning the cockatoo was perched on
bush in the back yard when the
rooster spied him. The heavyweight
barnyard champion made a rush at
his smaller enemy, spurs and beak.
The cockatOo, however, dug his
claws into the ROSTERS breast, and
pulling himself upright administered
the death blow.

The inventor reports that he has
