people too much, will get "kick" out
of the statement of Yvonnc Sorac,

treasure was stolen last night. But
the sultan isn't worried. He counts
on you. For you knew how to dis

Poor Moulay had hard time con-
cealing his chagrin.- He answered
again that the recovery would be
easy, and demanded the seven biggest
and fattest chickens in the sultan's
poultry yard and seven days in which
to think. When the officers were gone
he said to Bou-zemzem:
wife, we can be sure about 1t this
time? On the seventh day the sultan
will do some head cutting"
That evening the family was seat
ed about low table. The remains Of
the first chicken lay on a plate, still
swimming in a reddish -colored sauce.
Sid Moulay pointed with his finger to
the remnants and then traced the
course which what he had eaten had

bean meal was replaced by peanut

in tho food given the two was in the
addition of cystine contained in the

OF the Army and Navy would stop
growing and eventually would die for
lack of cystine. The scientist also
cited the possibility of an arctic ex-
plorer being left with nothing but
beans to eat, with dire results.
How about cystine's effect on
hair?" DR.. Jones was asked.
"Our experiments with rats have
shown us that cystine apparently en-
courages the growth of fur on the
rats. AS matter of fact, wool. hair
and fur have been found to consist
largely of this acid. and the easiest
way for US to isolate cystine is by
chloric acid and subjecting the re-
sultant mixture to a number of COM
plicated chemical processes"
The chemist pointed to a mass Of
glassware, comprising retorts. tubing,

foreign matter contained in the retort
and the second step was the isolation OF
the cystine.
DR.. Jones picked vial, two inches
tall, from q row on SneU ABOVE MS
desk. The vial was half full OF white
powder resembling powdered sugar. The
powder was the precious cystine itself.
There was about a hundred dollars
worth in the vial. The other Viais con-
tanned various other protein acids in
the form of crystals, the crystals in
most cases, as in that of cystine, being
so small that to the eye they appeared
as a powder.
The fact that the cystine exhibited
was obtained from sleeps wool led the
reporter to inquire of the possibilities
from a woolgrowers standpoint of see
ing that sheep received an appropriate
amount Of this acid in their food. DR.
Jones said that this phase OF the use Of
cystine had not been worked out. but
he Indicated that it was reasonable to
assume that the result would be bene-
fetal.

the starch, the salt, fat and other 1000
constituents. Some proteins are more
nutriGve than others. as proved IN the
tests with bean proteins and peanut
proteins. He picked up pamphlet
published by the bureau recently and
read:
"A great advance was made in our
knowledge of the principles Of nutri-
tion when it was shown that the
nutritive value of proteins depends
on the relative proportions of GER
tain amino-acids in the protein mole
cule. Numerous experiments have
addition of certain amino-acids rem
ders diets deficient or makes them
complete for normal growth. 1t is
well known that proteins which lack
either lysine or tryptophane fail to
promote the growth of animals. 1t
has also been established thai certain
other amtno-acids are necessary for
maintenance and growth, and that
some of the amino-acids usually
found In proteins are not essential.
Osborne and Mendel found that
rats fed on raw navy bean meal de-
clln6Q rapidly IN weight ana soon
died. When the bean meal was
cooked slight growth was obtained
for some time. Baked beans showed
no greater efficiency than cooked
bean meal We found that cooked
navy bean meal, supplemented with
crystine equivalent to per cent of
it's protein, produced normal growth.
This diet contained butter fat to fur
nish fat-soluble vitamines. The salts
were furnished by an artificial salt
mixture and the beans supplied suffi-
cient water soluble vitamine."
The summary Of this pamphlet was
as follows:
Il. Cystine has been shown to be
essential for normal growth.
"2. Phaseolin, the principal protein
Of the navy bean. is rendered q more
efficient food by heating with water.
"3. Cooked 'phaseolin, or cooked

tein for normal growth"

ent. under the luxury tax section,
only the cost of an article above a
certain figure, generally considered
a fair average price. is taxed. Under
the new plan as outlined by Fordney
any article that sells above a fair
average price would be taxed on the
entire selling price and not just the
amount above the fair level
For instance" said Fordney,
suppose IL was determined that the
maximum price the average nan
needs to pay for a pair OF shoes is
SIS. Under the present law il del-er
charges $40, the tax applies only on
.S2. Under the new plan which the
committee is considering the tax
would apply on $40 at about the
same rate as now applies on 50.
THE plan would have the effect
of forcing down the price Of r any
articles which have remained on a
high perch despite the fact that tne
raw materials that go into them
have shown declines. People who
can pay extravagant prices for var;-
Gus articles would not be hurt much
by the tax"
Fordney said the new plan is be-
ing used in Canada, and that he
has written Canadian officials to de-
termine how successful il has been
there.
