Why Men Eat More Tliar. Women.
That men eat five or sli-per cent
more than women not because tbey
are gluttons, but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears as a result -f an Investiga
tion made In the nutrition laboratory
of the Carnegie Institute at Washing
ton by Francis G. Benedict and L. E.
Eames, says the Literary Digest The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have a smaller propor
tion of active tissues than men of
the same weight and more Inactive
material, such as fat. The Investiga
tion disclosed that the average wom
an generates only 1,355 heat units in
the 24 hours, as against 1,638 pro
duced by the man, or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound of
body weight. When croups were com
pared, after careful selection of Indi
viduals of nearly the same height and
weight, the men were found to pro
duce about 12 per cent more heat than
wonwo.

Cottonseed Meal a Good Food.
Cottonseed meal as a human food Is
being urged by Dr. G. S. Fraps, state
chemist and chemist to the experiment
station at the agricultural and me
chanical college. Cottonseed meal Is
urged as a substitute, not for flour, but
for meat, providing the same elements
necessary for the proper support and
development of the human system as
does meat
"Cottonseed meal flour Is now be
ing used extensively In Texas, and In
view of the high price of meat and
the general financial condition of the
people of the state, this flour should
come Into a much wider use," says
Doctor Fraps. "It Is palatable, and It
eaten In the proper ration, makes an
excellent substitute for meat."

Japanese manufacturers are making a determined effort to obtain as
much as possible of the trade formerly held by Germany. Some time ago the
government made a display of German toys that sold well In America, and
the Japanese have turned their attention to duplicating these articles. The

FROM MANY WITNE8SES.
In summing up a complete refuta
tion of the statements sent out by tbt
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers as
sociation In an article on ' Facts About
Prohibition In Kansas," Governor Ar
thur Capper says:
Let us call the witnesses and see
what tbey think of prohibition In
Kansas. If anyone should know, they
should know, for they live with It and
under It'
The governor of Kansas says pro
hibition Is a great success.
Every state ofllclal who has apokea
out says prohibition succeeds.
More than 700 editors and newspa
per men of Kansas in state conven
tion, unanimously endorsed prohibi
tion. Every political party In Kansas fa
vors the prohibition law.
No minister has ever opened hi
mouth in favor of return of license;
neither has any schoolteacher.
The president of Kansas Retailor
says prohibition pays.
The president cf the State Bankers'
association believes that prohibition
is a tremendous asset to Kansas.
One hundred and sixty-six banker
have filed their testimony In favor of
the law with the Temperance society
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
and only six could be found In all the
state who doubted the wisdom of this
legislation.
The president of the Kansas Medi
cal society believes In prohibition.
The president of the Commercial
clubs of Kansas has Bald that prohibi
tion has added real value to every
acre of Kansas land.
The supreme court has testified in
the following strong language to tho
benefits of the prohibition law:
"The prohibitory law is well en
forced throughout the state. It Is as
generally well enforced as any other
criminal law. The enforcement of tho
law distinctly promotes social welfare
and reduces to a minimum economic
waste consequent upon the liquor traf
flce and allied evils. The saloonkeeper
and his comrades have been excluded
from effective participation in the poll
tics of the state."
And to completely settle the ques
tion for all time the legislature of
Kansas, not by a majority, but unan
imously passed at its last session a
concurrent resolution affirming in no
uncertain language Its belief in the ad
vantage of prohibition.
FOR WHAT OTHER PURPOSET
"The moving picture show has be
come - powerful factor In arousing the
prejudice of thoughtless and weak
minded people against the liquor in
terests, and particularly against the
saloon," says the Liberal Advocate, a
liquor dealers' organ.
"In virtually every blood and thun
der and crime film produced there is
sure to be a scene depicting a bunch
of lowbrows plotting some villainy
from burglary to murder while lick
ing up liberal libations of liquor to
give them the proper amount of cour
age to accomplish their deed.
"Each day thousands of these films
are portrayed to millions of men.
women and children In every part of
the country, and those who know no
better, and many who ought to know
better, soon becoome Imbued with the
belief that liquor is only manufactured
aud saloons established for the pur
pose of increasing lawlessness and
crime."
PAYS NOTHING BACK.
This from Billy Sunday:
"The saloon comes as near being a
rat hole for a wage earner to dump
his wages in as anything you can find.
The only interest It pays is red eyes
and foul breath and the loss of health.
You go In with money and you come
out with empty pockets. You go In
with character and you come out ru
ined. You go in with a good position
and you lose It You lose your posi
tion In the bank, or in the cab of the
locomotive. And the saloon pays noth
ing back but disease and damnation
and gives an extra dividend In delir
ium tremens and a free pass to per
dition. And then it will let your wife
be burled In the potter's field, and
your children go to the asylum, and
yet you walk out and say that the
saloon Is a good Institution, when it
Is the dirtiest thing on earth. It
hasn't one leg to stand on and has
nothing to commend It to a decent
man, not one thing."
BILL BOARDS IN LINE.
By its action in refusing to accept
further advertising contracts for whis
ky or distilled and spirituous liquors,
the members of the Poster Advertis
ing association place themselves In
line with the 520 daily newspapers
and scored of, magazines in the United
