Tomatidine is an improvement
over any of the three compounds
from which the hormones now
are produced. Production of hor-
mones from compounds derived
from animal nerve tissue and soy
beans require many more chem
ical steps. The third compound,
derived from Mexican yams, re-

but is more expensive because the
Mexican yam does not grow widely
in this country.

and Expenditures Committee.
Mr.. Nemeth said that the new
total real estate assessment of
approximately 5000 million would
provide with a tax rate of Salt
per 500 of valuation, the same
revenue as the $3.63 rate pro-
vided last year, when the total
assessment was approximately
STA million.
Mrs. Florence Cannon, board
chairman, predicted Monday that
the $3.63 rate will be reduced "at
least a dollar"

corps and son of lady-in-wait-

Although the marriage was not
forbidden, it was not fully ap-
proved by her mother, and the
