WASHINGTON. Dec. .. CUnited

steps to carry out the huge legisla-

sented such a kaleidoscope outline
Of the nations problem in the hope
OF forcing action on some measures
at a session which appears likely to
delay much important legislation.

President set Congress has con-

idea Of giving the country a rest
from Congress next summer. II the
program he outlined is to be gone

March Will be necessary. il is held.
The Presidents declarations on
prohibition met with hearty ap-
proval among the "drys' who believe

Uncle Sam is a millionaire oil
producer. He made this admission
through the Bureau of Mines Tuesday.
So proud is he of his success in the
business that he took the country into
his confidence and disclosed his income
from this source. From the produc-
tion Of oil, natural gas and natural
gas-gasoline on his lands in the West
ern states he received in. August the
neat little sum of $77S,37S.11 in royal
ties He doesn't have time to bother
about producing himself. He lets this
part of the job out to private parties.
UP to August 81, it was stated, Uncle
Sans total net royalties from this
source had reached s7,1S7, ,493.77. OF
the August royalties 1854, 4,751.4O came
from California, s33S,S19.46 from Wyo-
ming and $349O7.25 from Montana.
Uncle Sam is generous, however, and
only retains 10 per cent. He gives 81
1-2 per cent. to the state in which the
oil and gas are produced, and So 1-2
per cent to the reclamation service
His royalties vary from II 12 to 80
1-2 per cent, according to the rates
Of production, the larger the produc-
ton from a well the greater the
royalty.

ARTIFICIAL SToMAcHS.
Department of Agriculture Is Using
Them for Test Purposes.

Experts of the department OF aSrl-
culture have developed an artificial
stomach" to test the digestibility of
foods. A glass jar is used instead OF
the human tummy.
at is now possible to determine the
d!gestibility OF the protein in foods and
whether it is necessary to cook them
without conducting feeding tests, thus
saving much time and expense" the
specialists assert.
BY the use of certain laboratory ap-
paratus, it is explained, it "is possible
to initiate at least part of the di-
gestive processes"
Here is the plan:.
"The proteins TO be tested, those
from beans, for instance, are placed in
glass containers in dilute solution of
hydrochloric acid, similar to that found
normally in the stomach. The proper
quantity of pepsin is added, and the
mixture is placed in an incubator,
-where~ tf1e temperature is kept at the
same point as that Of the human stom-
ach, about 81 degree Centigrade.
After a certain number Of hours
the contents of the container are sam
pied and analyzed. r. The digestive eff
feet is measured by the ratio of what
is known as amino nitrogen to total
nitrogen. BY rushing through cooked
and uncookcd protein from beans it is
possible to determine which is the
more easily acted upon by the chem
icals in this artificial stomach, and
consequently by the stomach itself.
after the food has been acted upon
by the pepsin and hydrochloric acid, 1t
is treated with trypsin and a dilute
alkaline solution, as nearly as possible
! like the digestive juices found in the
small intestine. This second process:
tells the investigator what the proba-
BILE digestive action on any particular
food will be in the intestine"
The department experts assert that
the artificial stomach" will tell if one
protein is more digestible than anoth'
or and whether it is more digestibl'
when cooked or raw.
