COPPER IN FOOD FOUND TO BE GREAT HEALTH HELP

ANEMIA CASES MAY BE CURED BY RED METAL Experiments on Rats Yield Astonishing Results, Scientists Report. MORE VITAL THAN IRON New Discovery May Change Ideas on Dietetics, Stock Feeding. By Science Service ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 12. Copper, the red metal, is an essential factor in the diet to keep the blood red and the body vigorous, a group of University of Wisconsin chemists, headed by Dr. E. B. Hart, announced here this morning at the meeting of the American Society of Biological Chemists. Copper may become acknowledged as one of the more essential requisites in human nutrition and livestock feeding. The Wisconsin experiments indicate that it exerts a tremendous influence on anemia in rats, a disease similar to anemia in children who have been fed exclusively on milk. The malady in both rat and child is caused by a blood stream. More Important Than Iron A shortage of iron has been credited with being responsible for the disorder, and although iron compounds are still limiting factors, their effectiveness, according to Wisconsin investigators, depends on | the presence or absence of copper.l The investigations covered four, years, and Dr. Hart was assisted by his colleagues, Drs. H. Steenbock, C. A. Elvehjem and J. Waddell. Because milk is notoriously low in iron and hemoglobin is rich in the mineral, it has always been assumed that the way to correct anemia was to add iron to the milk diet. In the case of animals this plan proved ineffective. The daily feeding of iron, administered as chloride, sulfate, acetate, citrate or phosphate, all prepared from pure iron wire, did not check the decline in the hemoglobin content of the blood. Rate suffering with anemia were not improved. However, when a supply of iron was obtained by feeding dried liver, or the ash of dried liver, corn, or lettuce, the hemoglobin was raised to normal and the stricken rats immediately restored to health. Liver Cures Anemia In ashing the foodstuffs, the investigators noted a pale, bluish color, the typical hue produced when copper compounds are burned. Observation of this peculiar color, in addition to the fact that copper is | known to be present in the respira- j tory pigment, bemocyanin. of certain Crustacea, led the chemists to j use copper sulphate as a supplement! to pure ferric chloride in the whole j milk diet. Striking cures resulted. Rats, so j anemic that their days appeared to j be numbered, recovered jmmedaitely | and the hemoglobin in their blood was brought to normal. “What about pernicious anemia in man?” the chemists asked. Patients suffering with anemia have been told to eat liver, advice which lias evidently made a wide impression, judging from the rise in price of What was once poor man's meat, i However, some sufferers And liver: unpalatable, especially when eaten in large quantities. Harvard University scientists have prepared a liver extract which has proved exceedingly efficacious in abating the disease. In the Wisconsin experiments, this product was ashed and fed the anemic rats. When fortified with ferric chloride, it also proved effective in correcting the ailment. Thus this product which has been most successful in treating man corrected the deficiency in rats. Copper’s role in plant and animal tissue is not clearly understood. It is found in milk in small quantities. Its function in produc-

THREATENING COLD ENDED QUICK WAY

Relieved in Few Hours When Doctor Advised Home Use of Pleasant Method In one's own home it is now possbile to get quick relief—often in a few hours—from a stuffy head cold, cough or chest cold. For doctors who realize the danger of neglecting colds during pneumonia weather are recommending for home use a hospital certified remedy that has brought sure relief to vast numbers of Indianapolis people, yet is inexpensive and pleasant to take. Miss Marie Dixon, for example, caught a severe head cold which she neglected for several days. It was mild at first, but grew worse,, spreading to her chest. Fearing more serious complications then, her father called the doctor, who prescribed double strength doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin hydrate and other ingredients which hospitals have found to be the most effective to end colds. Relief began almost immediately. In a few hours the "feverish,” grippy feeling was gone and after a good night’s sleep her head and chest had pleared up almost entirely. In another day or so, her doctor reports, she was as well as ever,

ing hemoglobin is, as Hart stated, idle to speculate. Hemoglobin may not contain copper, at least no evidence to the contrary has yet been produced. In this connection, copper may act as a catalyzer, an agent which stares an action without being changed itself. It may promote the building of hemoglobin. Iron functions in a similar manner in the production of chlorophyll, the green pigment of vegetation, although it is not a constituent of the chlorophyll molecule. Experiments with the use of copper in the diets of anemia patients will be undertaken in the near future at certain leading hospitals. If this organic substance plays the part in the human system that it does in thp life of white rats, nutrition specialists will probably give as much consideration to the copper content of foodstuffs as is now paid to some other elements, such as phosphorus, calcium, and iodine. Future experiments at Wisconsin will also approach the problem from this standpoint, as the copper content of animal feeds is known to vary widely. NEGRO IS SOUGHT IN THREE CITY BURGLARIES Descriptions Given by Two of Victims Tally, Say Police. A Negro was believed responsible for three north side burglaries late Wednesday, but police so far have failed to take him into custody. Donald Black, 645 E.

Meridian St., collector for a furniture store say a Negro leaving the back yard of Walter Evans, 4625 Kenwood Ave. Casey found a rear window broken. Both descriptions tallied. Mrs. Ulysses Lotz, 2236 N. Illinois St., returned home late Wednesday to find S3O in cash and a sls watch taken from her home. Mrs. Henry Haag, 17 E. Regent St., valued sixty chickens taken from her coop at S6O.

with no trace left of the cold. Note: See other cases reported daily —all certified by the attending physician. Doctors recommend Cherry Pectoral because it not only stops coughing spells but penetrates and heals inflamed linings of the breathing passages. Absorbed by the system the medication quickly removes phlegm, helps reduce the "feverish,” grippy feeling and drives out the cold from nose passages, throat and chest. .Tust a spoonful of Cherry Pectoral today and you will feel like a different person tomorrow. At all druggists, 60c and, twice as much in $1.0(5 hospital size.

DEFER THEFT CASE Witness Fails to Identify Accused. M micipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron today took under advisement a petit larceny charge against Carl Cox, 2110 College Ave., when the State’s principal witness faltered in his identification of the youth as the one who cashed a stolen $43 pay check. The check was stolen from Harry Jones, 961 W. Twenty-Seventh St., Murray Body Corporation employe. Cox also works at the Murray body works. Cox, detectives charged, bought $9 worth of ties, shorts and socks at a men’s clothing store and received the change. Robert Brewer, 1601 Fletcher Ave., a clerk in the store, identified Cox as the youth who cashed the check and picker articles he had sold Cox from colthing belonging to Cox and several other youths with whom he rooms, detectives said. But on the witness stand Brewer was not sure Cox was the man who had cashed the check and was not certain about the clothing. District P. T. A. in Session TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 12. Dr. Thomas R.

DENEEN VICTORY BOOSTS G. 0. P. STUCK FOR 1828 Crushing Defeat of Smith, ‘Big Bill’ Is Popular; Aids Lowden. BY PAUL R. MALLON WASHINGTON, April 12.—A bulky new figure in the person of Senator Charles S. Deneen will be welcomed into the inner council of Republican leaders here as a result of his smashing victory over William Hale Thompson in the Illinois primary battle for control of the Republican party of that State, council leaders said today. Deneen will take to the Kansas City convention a bloc of at least forty-seven delegates instructed for former Governor Frank O. Lowden. He won them against Thompson's slate of delegates pledged to seek re-election of President Coolidge. Thompson will have only fourteen delegates. Republican leaders here generally were more gleeful about the Deneen victory than about any recent political happening. They have never played politically with Thompson and were fearful of what he might do with his Coolidge pledge delegates at the convention. To fill their cup of cheer, they were also thankful to Deneen for the defeat of former Senator-Elect Frank L. Smith of Illinois. Generally it had been feared Smith would be re-elected and would come down to the Senate next session with credentials for his seat, and those who voted last spring and again last December to oust Smith because of his primary campaign expenditures were worried that they would be faced with the political necessity of voting against him annually. The Curtis-Watson-Dawes group in the Senate is expected to work in harmony with Deneen, and some of their cohorts have even suggested the possibility that he might be considered a possible compromise presidential candidate in event of a deadlock in the convention. Neither are the Democrats displeased. They foresee the possibility of a split in Illinois Republican ranks in the November election. They talk about the possibility of Thompson joining hands openly or secretly with George Brennan, Democrat leader of the State, to put At Smith over if he is the Democratic nominee. in return, they say, Brennan might give Thompson some local support.
