In structor to Determine Increase In , Nitrogen; Meat Is High Priced. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 12. Boarding house mistresses in the vicinity of the University ' of Pennsylvania have been wondering the last few days why several of their student guests were eating meat to the exclusion of many other foods, '-hey finally learned that members of the freshmen class are cooperating with Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor of the medical staff, in an experi ment to determine the increase of nitrogen in the blood following the eating of large quantities of flesh. These are dark days for the board ing house proprietor who has a house ful of medical students. Since the test started they have been calling for dou ble portions of meat at every meal and have been leaving potatoes and other vegetables untouched. Meat be ing expensive and vegetables cheap it is easy to see experiments of this sort are not popular with these women. A few days ago Professor Taylor told his, class of his plans for this experiment. There was nothing "com pulsory about the tests,' and only those who wanted to do so vnderwcnt the experiment. "A large number of young . men volunteered to go on the diet, however, and after eating meat for 24 hours; their blood was tested for nitrogen. , . . The students complain of no ill ef fects. One youth, who lives m a Lo cust street boarding house, after eat ing meat for a day found that the ni trogen in his system increased from 9 to 19 grams. Doctor Taylor con ducted the recent uga.r tests at the university to establish accurate sugar indexes f6r determining the presence of pituitary gland diseases.
