Proper Quantities of Animal Protein in Diet Both Cure and Preventive.

TAKES HEAVY TOLL OF LIFE

INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH Industrial research Is a very excellent thlnjf, In its proper place, and within reasonable limits, hut It eem to he coin;; altogether too far in the bands f the Japanese. Operating Under a governmental prant for research, a Japanese savant has created a machine some 1120 feet by 20 feet in dimensions which he declares will hatch l.oOO.OOO egg at a time, with a live chicken to every egg. With becoming modesty he describes the contraption as "the most comprehensive machine in the world." That the professor has dared to let word get about respecting his Invention would seem to be proof positive that there Is no agricultural bloc In Japan. Possibly we have arrived at an era of yarns. It would Feein that hard times stimulate the Imagination, says the Nation's Business. When the world gets to feeling poor it fails to speculating upon the production of gold from thin air, lead or silver dollars, and upon the branches of the printing art as exemplified In slips of paper with which one can fill his empty pockets at will and purchase blue sky or suburban mansions, as the spirit may move him.

The last of the liapsburg rulers has died in exile and poverty, having been, according to recent reports. perhaps too highly colored, for some time past a charity guest of a generous Maderian innkeeper. Fate has pursued tho Hnpsburgs relentlessly, says the New York Tribune. Maximilian, emperor of a day, was stood up against a wall at Queretaro and shot by the Mexicans. The beautiful Empress Elizabeth was assassinated. Her son Rudolph, the heir apparent, perished in a sordid suicide pact. Ferdinand, the next heir apparent, was murdered with his wife at Sarajevo, a crime Interwoven with the beginnings of the World war. Francis Joseph died peacefully, but left behind him the memory of having guided Austria-Hungary to her ruin. Now Charles, the last of t: emperor-kings, dies destitute and under detention, after the inglorious failure of his two filibustering expeditions Into Hungary.

According to reports, electricity has conquered at least one-third of the cultivated area of Sweden, and if the ratio of present Installations continue It will be but a matter of a few years before the entire country Is run by electricity. While one may sigh for the picturesque qualities of the old type of farming, one must not forget that the use of electricity Is quite as wonderful and picturesque. Tltis harnessing of a natural force to forward the comfort of man Is a miracle that Is taken too much for granted" in thi modern age. It is a marvelous thing to contemplate, and one of the chief splendors of the remarkable modern life we lead.

Russia Is In danger of swinging so far back from collapsed communism as to become the most thoroughly cap-italistic-controlled nation on earth. This Is the observation of Charles 1'hlllp Norton, former adviser of the Jtussian-American Chamber of Commerce. He is back from a long tour of the Lenin-Trotzky domain. What he predicts would be a logical reaction. Human nature runs to extremes. Ko abstainer as . rabid as an amateur drunkard the morning after. In time, though, he reacts, tries the poison again.

Scientists of United States Public Health Service Give Results cf Many Years' Study of Disease Need Egg Meat. Pellagra, a mysterious disease which has caused widespread illness and taken a heavy toll of life in the l.'nited states and many countries of Europe, is caused primarily by lack of animal protein in the diet, and is both preventable and curable by proper quantities of animal protein being Included in the diet, it is announced by the t'nited States public health service. l)octors Coldberger aad Tanner, surg'.'on und past assistant surgeon, respectively, reporting the results of many years' study of the disease, assert that forty grams per day of h. ef or milk proteins in the diet will, for practically all normal individuals, prevent the contraction of pellagra. T!ie necessary forty grains of animal protein are contained in about :i h:.!f pound of beef, or three pints of mliU. Must Get Enough. Thus it does not suilice," say the report, "merely to include mill; or meat in a diet to prevent pellagra. The quantity of either f these or of other like foods, alone or as supplements, must be considerable to be effective. This may help to explain some of the instances of pellagra in individuals, (including some of those very rare ones in nursing Infants), who are alleged to have had a good' diet. They dhl not consume enough for their particular needs The following selected quotations set forth the logic of the situation as expressed by (Joldbergrr and Tanner: "There is now at hand a considerable and convincing body of evidence In support of the view that diet is the primary controlling factor in the prevention and causation of pellagra." "To begin with, account must be taken of the fact that no unequivocal evidence of the transmissibility of the disease has yet been adduced Of. outstanding significance are, on the one hand, the demonstration that pellagra may he completely prevented by means of a suitable diet, without intervention of any other known factor, hygienic or sanitary, and, on the other, the absence of any sound evidenee that the disease is preventable by any other means." Referring to experimental work on a group of convicts, the report states, 'At least d of 11 convicts who volunteered for the experiment and who subsisted on a diet consisting principally of the cereals, wheat, maize, and rice, with pork fat and some fresh vegetables (sweet potatoes, turnips, cabbage, greens), developed evidence wbb'h exorienecd observers recognized as tint of pellagra : whereas of a large number of controls, none presented any evidence Justifying even a suspicion of the disease. The Protein Factor. "Thus, by a process of e:: !;i:;'in we are led to conclude that of the known dietary essentials the protein factor alone was concerned in our failure to prevent the development of the cases herein cited. And if our interpretations are. as we believe, sound, (and if all dietary factors essential in human nutrition are known) the further conclusion may properly be drawn, namely, that the dominating role of diet in the prevention and causation of pellagra must be referred primarily to the character of the protein supply. "Some of the perplexity and confusion will also bf prevmted if it is not forgotten tiiat the biological quality of a protein and its adequacy in relation to pellagra may, and doubtless frequently do. depend on the plane of intake. In our experience, a supplement of not over -10 grams of milk or beef proteins will, for practically all normal individuals, adequately supplement a pellgf.icing mixture of proteins from -y.c, wheat, rice, and wpcas. hut -0 grams (representing somewhat over a pint of milk or a quarter of a pound of round steik) may not do so."

Aristocratic Girl Gathers German Refugees From Wastes of Siberia Ha3 Already Repatriated Thousands of War Prisoners. Stockholm. A refuge of rest and physical rehabilitation where the human wrecks of (Jennan war prisoners from Russia and Siberia may be treated and salvaged is Indng purchased by Miss Klsa Brandstrom, known throughout central Europe and Russia ns "the angel of Siberia' Miss Brandstrom Is negotiating for a village in southern Germany which she proposes to tum Into a human reclamation camp for the derelicts that once marched proudly under Hindenburg and other Teutonic military leaders against the Russians and were captured and sent to Siberian concentration camp. They remained in. Siberia till long After tie world war was over, and there are still thousands of them left, free to return home If they could. Rut they have neither the means nor the physical strength to do so. Miss Brandstrom Is a young Swedish Red Cro-s nurse, the (laughter of the late (Jen. Kd'vard Brandstrom, for many years Swedish minister to Russia under the czar's regime. Leaving her comfortable home in Stockholm and the aristocratic social set in which she had been brought Up. she led a small Red Cross expedition Into western Siberia and has succeeded In repatriating thousands of German and Austrian war prisoners. Rut she found that when the former soldiers reached their homes they wvg-e unable to assume their former places in society. They were wrecks. So she has collected a considerable fund and hopes to purchase a village and have it ready for occupancy this autumn. As to the war prisoners still wandering about Kussia and Siberia, many of them never will be found, and none of them will ever he able to get hack without outside aid. Miss Brandstrom proposes to continue rounding up these waifs and bringing them to her haven of rest.

The economic revival in Relgium is accompanied by an extraordinarily active intellectual revival, according to a survey by Walter A. Mtnitgomery for . the United States bureau of education. It is pointed out that all universities and schools are crowded far beyond their capacity, and that the minister of science and art is even contemplating restoring entrance examinations to universities to eliminate those wiu are less fitted for higher studies. No fewer than live or six literary reviews have been lately founded in IVlgitim. and a generation t of new writers, including pome re- J markable younger poets, is coming to the fore, it is said. i
