GELATIN AND MUSCLE ABILITY

GELATIN AND MUSCLE ABILITY During and after World War I a report was circulated that German soldiers carried supply of dical- cium phosphate and when physically exhausted took dose or two of it. promptly relieving fatigue and en- abling the soldiers to continue marching or other work. It was one of many similar yarns circulated at the time.
 In recent years some such magic virtue has been credited to two foods, namely dextrose tgrape su- gar, starch sugar) and gelatin.
 There is good ground for the be- lief that dextrose or any other kind of sugar retards the onset Of fatigue and exhaustion and aids endurance in prolonged muscular effort, as in a Marathon race, distance swim. mountain climbing. Sugar is easily and quickly assimilased and quickly oxidized as fuel to yield energy to the muscles, not on-y the skeletal muscles but the heart muscle itself. So far as physiologistS have deter mined, there is no difference be- tween the several kinds of sugar in this respect. Beet sugar, cane sugar, glucose or corn syrup, fruit sugar, milk sugar, deXtrose-all are equal ly good for the purpose, so you may use whichever you like or find han dy. Sweetened tea. fruit or fruit juice, mix, gum drop, chocolate. ice cream, sugar tablet or wafer candy-it is all the same to tired muscles and the sense of fatigue when refreshment is needed.
 Amino acetic acid makes up 25 per cent by weight of gelatin. The observation that gelatin was effec- tive in postponing fatigue was made by Ray and co-workers (Proc Soc. Exper. Biol. 6 Med) in February 1889. Ray reasoned that creatine was important in muscle metabol- ism. and amino acetic acid (glyco- coll, glycine) may be precursor of creatine in the body, and so an in- creased initake of gelatin should give an increased supply of creatine for the muscles.
 To date there has been no con- firfna. ion of this action of gelatin
 In March, 1899, Maison began ob- servations on two subjects (students) whose muscle work ability was care- fully measured by scientific means He found that neither amino acetic acid given in daily amounts of one half ounce for thirty days, nor gela- tin, two ounces day for forty days, increased the work ability of the muscles. Tn four other subjects in- gestion of gelatin for from twenty to thirty days produced no obvious effect.
 As a food, however, gelatin has a place in the diet, especially, I

Snow on the mountains, holly i1l the window and roast goose on the table. That's an old world picture of Christmas.
 Of course, many Americans favor roast turkey for Christmas dinner, or fat capon with oyster or chest nut stuff1ng. And there are some who look on roasted little pig, with a bright apple in it's mouth and a necklace of holly as the ideal dish. But for those who favor old world traditions, Christmas goose is the answer.
 For family party of eight, se- lect an 8-to-10-pound goose. Allow pound of goose for each guest. Have goose drawn, remove pin feathers and oil sac. Singe, scrub and dry. Stuff, allowing about 6 cups of stuffing for 10-pound bird. Truss with string or skewers. Place on rack in open roasting pan. Prick with fork to allow excess fat to run out. Cook in slow oven (325 de- grees F.) allowing about 25 minutes to pound.
 Roast goose with sauerkraut and dumplings is an elaborate Czecho- slovakian Christmas speciality. It is prepared this way, according to Pearl V. Metzelthin, who spent years preparing her well documented World Wide Cook Book.
 GOOSE WITH SAUERKRAUT
 One goose, 10 pounds; 1h tea spoons salt, 14 teaspoon pepper. Stuffing: l tablespoon goose fat, l large onion, minced; 2 pounds sauerkraut, A teaspoon black pep per, F teaspoon caraway seeds (optionaD, large potato 6 to 6 |oz), F cup white wine or water, if needed.
 Clean and trim goose. Rub inside with salt and pepper. Remove all fat from inside of goose and heat 1 tablespoon in pan. Fry onion in fat until light golden brown. Wash sauerkraut and drain thoroughly Add to onion. Add pepper and caraway seeds, if desired. Let all come to 8 boil. Crate potato into Sauerkraut and cook until mixture thickens. Add wine or water grad ually if needed, being careful not to make the stuffing too moist Stuff into goose, skewer or sew ur opening. Roast as described above The goose gravy is not thickened Serve dumplings with this, sur rounding the goose with the dump lings. Keep these closely covered as they are only good if piping hot The goose, in all Central European countries, is carved across thu breast instead of lengthwise. Tn slices of breast are from l to 1K inches wide. The skin of this roas goose should be brown and yer. crisp.
 KNEDLIKY (DUMPLINGS)
 Three slices bread, diced; 2 ta blespoons butter, eggs, 2A cup milk. 2 tablespoons flour, or more 11a teaspoons salt.
 Fry diced bread in butter ant set aside to cool. Beat eggs anC add the milk. Cream butter, ade and mix well. Stir mixture abou 10 minutes after combining witt the flour and salt. and when thor. oughly smooth, allow to stand fol 25 to 30 minutes. Add fried breac to dough and form small dump. lings. Drop into fast-boiling saltec water, being careful they do not stick as they sink to the bottom o1 the pot. Cover and boil for 15 tc 20 minutes, then test one to see il 1t is thoroughly cooked before re- moving them all from the water This is done by breaking dumpling in half. Never cut them.

 New treatments to make hair healthier, as well as more beautiful, are spotlighted in the best salons these days.
 In addition to creation of smart CT and lovelier cultures; the hair experts are concentrating on elirn- mating excessively oily and abnor- mally dry conditions, clearing the scalp of dandruff and fleckS of dry cuticle, giving the hair itself a heal thy gleam.
 Dry Skin Is Blown Away
 One of the most interesting treat mentS is a de luxe dry shampoo which not only cleanses the hair, but leaves it glossy and easy to manage. Also, it stimulates the scalp and frees it of every single fleck of dry cuticle.
 A stream of air, with 30 pounds of pressure behind it, is used first of all. The hair is parted, then the compressed air is trained on the scalp along the part. This removes dandruff as effectively as a long, drawn out peeling process. The parting and blowing on of air con- tinue until every inch of the scalp is clean and shining.
 Then paper eyeshade is placed across the customers forehead and into her hair is poured several handfuls of what the beauty people are pleased to call "medicated wood fibre" It's sawdust, really nice clean SawdusS which has been treated with medicated lotions.
 Anyway, the wood fibre is rubbed on the scalp, massaged and brush- ed through the hair until every strand is perfectly clean and as perfectly polished. Afterward, the air compressor business is used again to blow away all the sawduso. A woman who has a bad cold and doesn't want her hair washed would love this dry shmpoo treatment. So would anyone whose scalp is so thickly covered with dry cuticle that plain brushing no longer seems to do the trick. And, of course, it does give dry hair an exceptionally nice shine.

CAR LOAD OF COLORED
PEOPLE CRASH INTO TREE

A car full of colored folk came
to grief, one day last week, when
they tested the strength Of one Of the
Eastern Shores sturdy pines against
the mechanical power Of resistance in
their automobile.
The crash occurred on the Snow Hill
road just north Of the intersection of
the bypass with the Pocomoke-Snow
Hill highway. The tree is still stand
ing firmly rooted, but the car and it's
occupants are in a more or less di-
lapidated condition.
The car carried a Florida license
plate, and not much is known of
those concerned in the accidents. Am
balances were called into service and
the injured rushed to the Peninsula
General Hospital. So far as can be
learned, there has been no fatal re-
suit Of the smash-up.

Has Suit Case Stolen From Auto
While Visiting The Kent And

Mr.. Edward Merrill, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Merrill, this city, was both
fortunate and unfortunate about ten
days ago.
Mr.. Merrill, with his wife, was en-
route from Ocean City to his home in
Wilmington. They decided to stop at
the Kent and Sussex Fair grounds at
Harrington, Del. While seeing the
sights there, their car was ransacked
and suit cases containing clothing
were taken therefrom.
Afterwards, they saw announced in
a Delaware paper that a car which
had been stolen had been recovered
at the Fair, the robber, arrested, and
q description Of some suit cases also
recovered, led Mr.. Merrill to believe
they were his property.
He then proceeded to Dover where
he got back his stolen goods in part,
altho' little the worse for wear. The
thief was taken in charge by the po-
lice.
