MISS RoBERTsoN's SPEECH

The speech in Congress of Miss
Alice M. Robertson, Representative
in Congress from Oklahoma, entitled
present Economic Conditions as At
fecting American Homes" which ap-
peared in last weeks American Econ
omist, has excited a great deal of at
tention throughout the country. The

speech as follows:
''Cave women, bargain hunters and
Lady Aston, were featured yesterday
by Aunt Alice Robertson, of Okla
homa, the only woman member of
Congress, in an appeal in the Con
gressional Record to the American
women TO support the Republican

Miss Robertson is q practical bust
mes woman, as we'll as Representative
in Congress-, and has had an excep-
tional opportunity to observe the
practical effect of Protection and
Free-Trade, and the result is that she
is an ardent Protectionist. The speech

the women, but to the men as we'll,

yet read it will no fail to do So

VITAMINs FOUND IN PORK

Ever since the discovery of the
presence in certain foods of those
mysterious beneficial substances now
known as vitamins, it has been
thought that they-were to be found in
animal tissue most abundantly in GER
tain of the internal organs, especially
the heart, liver, and kidneys, but the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture now announces that they exist in
the muscle fibre of beef, veal, mutton,
lamb, and pork, and that pork is par
ticularly well supplied with them.
Various cuts of the different kinds
Of meat were tried, and in every in
stance pork was found to be relative
ly rich in vitamins. Pork tenderloin,
fresh ham, smoked ham, and pressed
boiled ham were tested and the re-
suits were much the same with all of
them. Beef and veal were relatively
lower, while the amounts contained
in lamb varied great deal
The experim entail work consisted in
feeding tests with rats and pigeons.
Growth was the determining factor in
the case of rats. In pigeons de-
ficiency of vitamins was indicated by
the development of polyneuritis, a
disease to which they are peculiarly
susceptible. Feeds rich in vitamins
are of great help in keeping them in
health.
This new evidence on the distribu-
ton of vitamins in meats should not
lead to the conclusion that certain
meats are of low nutritive value be-
cause they are deficient in vitamins.
Meat is one of our most important
foods and would continue to be so
even though it contained no vitannins.

They cannot clean rug.

SONS TRAINED WILD ANIMAL
CIRCUS are to be found the finest
living specimens of rare, strange and
curious animals from every quarter
of the globe. A visit to the Patter-

educational value than ever will be
gained by deepest study of all the
books at hand on the subject of Nat

are three rings and as many Elevated
Stages and Two Monster Cages for
the Feature Wild Animal Acts in
which Death is defied at every per

other aerial rigging. From the be-
