that an amount of fat corresponding
to that manufactured had been util-
lied or destroyed at the same time.
This was proved by giving mice fat
containing heavy hydrogen for a
period and then placing them on a
fat-free diet. The labeled fat was
found almost completely to have dis
appeared from the body of an animal
within a few days after the beginning
of the fat-free period-and to have
been replaced by an equal quantity OF
newly formed fat, which contained
practically no heavy hydrogen. Thus,
it was clearly shown, while the amount
of fat in the body depots of adult mice
remains constant, there is a continu-
Gus process of destruction and re-
synthesis of the body fats.
Similar results were obtained with
another important constituent of the
body, chlosterol.
Said the report: THE findings, which
we're made possible by the use of heavy
water label, indicate that organic
chemical compounds which are stable
outside the animal body become un-
stable in the living organism. Just as
in the living organism cells die and
are replaced by newly formed ones,
so organic molecules are continuously
being destroyed and replaced by new
materials of the same chemical struc-
ture."

Domesticated cats and dogs that have

The officers estimate that $500 cats
roam the National Forest daily and
that every cat is accountable for so

make up considerable part of the
cats diet.
Stray dogs running loose in the for
