Prof. James Rollin Stonacker of th? department of pyhslology at Stanford university, California, has decided that purely vegetable eaters are less durable than meat eaters. His conclusion is founded on unique experiments just completed. .Placing four rats in rotary cages with speedometers attached, the professor discovered that in twenty-five months a meat-eating female rat ran 5.447 miles and a meat-eating male 1,417 j miles, while a vegetable-eating- [ female covered 4-17 miles and a veget-able-eating male, 200 miles.

"CORNELL-PRICE PLAYERS.” The following was taken from the j Ypsilanti 'Mich.) Dy.lly Press, and j will give the ...eater goers of Dc-catur an idea of the attraction which holds! the boards aTThe Tcsso opera bouse I ihe week beginning Monday April 15: "Won highes' 'avers. —Ypsiiauti | theater goers evidently took heroic medicine, in heroic doses last week, I judging from -H-j reaction fpllowing the usual 'chronic’ apathy. ‘The Cor-!

nell-Price Players’ opened for a .veek ' of repertoire and .he size of the au- i dience increased nlghtiy. The next i plays were all popular, with nappy' < Hal Fr: e : i.-l Miss Florence Maderia, s the co-stars, taking stellar parts. The < compare was acellent throughout p and each and every member won high j favor. The specialties were new, and t proved a drawing feature, in which ! ( Mr. Price, the talented comedian, was | < ably supported by Miss Maderia. This little lady possesses a high soprano I ,

voice, of charming purity and sweetness, co which culture has imparted rare flexibility and compass. Her rendition of ‘Good Night, Dearie.' was a superb number. The theater was crowded for the Saturday matinee, and for the evening presentation of 'Across the Rio Grande.' Many were turned away for want of seats. Mr. Cornell has promised to play a return engagement next season.’ Democrat 5/V am Acv
