RATS GROW RAPIDLY
ON ALCOHOL RATION
Eat Less, But Develop as Fast as

BALTIMORE, February 4.-The
age old question as to whether use Of
alcohol affects growth is being inves-

Quoted by DIR. Curt P. Richter at the

animals tested took in an to 16 per
cent solution of alcohol as a steady "a
ton without becoming intoxicated or
habituated to alcohol. They ate less
food, but they grew just as fast as
prohibition rats in the same laboratory
that drank pure water.
The amounts of alcohol digested by
the rats were much greater in proper
ton to body weight than a man could
take aboard and still function nor
mally. This is explained on the
grounds that rats have a more active
existence than men and so have great
