PROTEINS AND THEIR
FUNCTION IN THE BODY

Protein is the term epplied to those
substances In our foodstuffs which
contain nitrogen. They are the most
important constituents of our food be-
cause they build body tissue as well as
repair that which Is broken down by
the wear and tear Of our ordinary ex-
penditure OF muscular energy.
The body OF the average man 10
about IS per cent protein by weight.
1t forms the basis of the bony struc
ture, the muscles and other tissues
Protein may be utilized as fuel for
the body just as the fats and carbo
hydrates are sources Of energy. To
furnish energy in the form OF protein
Is an unnecessarily expensive method.
however.
To protein, and to protein alone. be-
longs the function Of building and re-
pairing the body tissues.
This Is the reason that protein
must not be absent from the diet. OF
course, II could not be entirely absent
because most foods furnish a small
amount of protein, but 1t should be
present in amounts sufficient to do the
necessary building and repairing.
Proteins are found largely In that
class of foodstuffs known as ''pro-
tein rich foods" These are either Of
animal or vegetable origin. The for
mer is found in meats. fish and the
dairy products. The latter comes from
the dried seeds of such plants as
beans, peas and peanuts.
Animal protein is expensive. Econ
omy, therefore, demands that protein
from cheaper foods be substituted for
meat.
Milk is the best source Of protein
for children and every growing child
should have a diet in which milk plays
an important part. There is less pro-
tein in milk than either fat or sugar,
but 1t is of an especially valuable
kind.
Children require more protein in
proportion to their size than adults
because they not only have tissue to
be repaired. but they are increasing
the size of the body structure.
The normal diet, which maintains
an individual in health. will be found
to supply sufficient protein, provided
care is taken to include those foods
known to be rich in protein.
The housewives problem of plan
ming well-balanced meals is simplified
by knowledge of what protein means
to the body and what foods are
abundant sources of this valuable food
principle.
The Department Of Agriculture will
furnish bulletins based upon food
studies which will be found to be very
helpful

wire, and the desert beyond. In the
center was a well. These houses,
which were of the crudest construction,
contained apparently but two rooms
apiece, and the aspect of the whole
construction was dismal beyond imagi-
nation. Only two or three seemed to
be inhabited, and this fact was to be
learned by the tin cans and other ref
use that had been thrown out from
the doors.
Winton turned from the place in dis
gust and made his way toward the end
of the street, looking upon the desert.
Then he perceived two men close be-
hind him. Since the little man vas
not one of them, however, he thought
little of the matter, and, as they came
quickly toward him, he stepped aside
TO let them take the harder center of
the road.
When they were almost abreast of
him they separated, with the evident
intention of passing on either side.
For the first time Winton scented mis-
chief. He put his hand to his pocket,
where lay Ned Burns revolver. He
had half drawn it when it was dashed
to the ground, and the two leaped at
him.
A stunning blow upon the head from
a wooden baton sent Winton reeling.
He gained his feet just in time, and
sent the men staggering back with a
couple of blows in the face. They
came at him again. A second blow
on the head felled Winton to the
ground. His assailants were upon him,
kicking and pounding him.
One of them put his hand into his
pocket and drew something forth, hold
ing it up to his companion with an ex-
ultant cry. 1t seemed to be a small
stone, wrapped in tissue paper. Ar
instant later 1t lay in the mans palm,
an %irregularIy shaped pebble, Of no
particular luster.

the girl bitterly.

She turned again and began walking
quickly along the dark street, but Win
ton kept at her side.
"But you are unreasonable" he cried.
Miss Seaton, surely you are not so
rich in friendships hat you ear re
ject one which is disinterested."

He watched her until her figure vas
lost in the murky mazes of the foul
streets that stretched toward the des-
ert. His heart sank. There was moth
ing more that he could do, then. He
hated Malopo now; he wished he had
never INT .
Looking back toward the single cleo
trio light that stood at the corner Of
he market square, he fancied that he
perceived the figure of the little man
who had talked with him upon the
stoep of the hotel. He was standing
with another, pointing after him.
Winton strobe away. He had en-
tirely forgotten Burns warning; and if
he had remembered it would not have
made any difference. He wanted to
get out toward the desert again, to
be alone.
Old clothes shops, which thrived
upon the wages of the native gangs
brought to work in the compounds,
booths of Greek, Syrian, and Indian
peddlers, alternating with vacant lots,
lined the sandy track. There were
mean little alleys that extended at
right angles, terminating in shadows.
The moonlight, struggling fitfully
through a bank Of clouds, something
rarely seen in the dry season, disclosed
the desert beyond.
Near the outskirts of the town was
a new structure consisting of about a
score of brick houses of uniform height
and a single story each, joined to form
sides of a square. On the third
side was another street, with vacant
fronting it; on the fourth barbed
