SECRET OF GOOD
DIGESTIVEACT10N
Unidentified Stomach Secre
tion Keeps Body From
Starving On Full Rations
Is New Medical Theory
By HOWARD W. BLAKE8LEB
(Associated Press Science Editor.)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 17. (ff)
People who starve eating lull meals
were described at a symposium on
"nutrition and deficiency diseases.'
held at Harvard medical school as
part of the Harvard tercentenary.
Two newly recognized causes of thU
starvation were explained. One Is a
mysterious "X fsetor," believed to be
a still unidentified stomach secre
tion, which some persons lack. An
other Is protein starvation.
Diet Fads Hit.
A group of more common 111 feel
togs due to diet was explained by
Oeorge B. Mlnot, M. O., who perfected
the liver treatment for pernicious
anemia, aa larROly due to Ignorance,
stupidity and Xaddlsro.
Or. Mlnot asserted the medical
world here and abroad la excited
about the "X factor." Its discoverer,
William B. Castle, M. D., associate
professor of medicine at Harvard, saM
that lack of this digestive secretion
results In pernicious anemia, aprue,
a tropical and occasional northern
disease In which fat Is not digested
pellagra and "less well defined con
dltlon."
, When the "X factor" Is missing,
the pepsin and hydrochloric acid ana
ether known digestive torments con'
tlnue to work normally. But one
or more of the substances In food
essential to health are not extracted
It Is believed, said Dr. Castle, that
the "X factor" Is tlio only unknown
digestive substance.
Liver Value Parallel.
Certain diets appear to supply It
automatically, aa liver In osse of
anemia.
Chester M. Jones, M. D., assistant
professor of medicine, Harvard, re.
ported any of several causes of pro
tein starvation may lead to muscle
wasting, weakness, swelling of the
lower limbs and tendenoy to abnor
mal accumulations of water In tho
tissues. Two common causes of pro.
teln starvation In "civil life," said
Dr. Jones, are bad economtc condi
tions and constitutional ausceptl
plllty,
other street attreotlons. The gam

2 BALLOT PROPOSALS
L BE
Ashland city council will hold a
apeclal meeting tonight to decide
whether or not the following two pro
posals should be placed on the No
vember election ballot:
1 -Shall the park board be sbol
lshed and Its dutlea tranaferred to
the city council?
3 Shall the members of the com
mon council be allowed to sell goods
or services to the ' city during their
terms of office?
The special meeting was called
when the ballot proposals came be
fore the council at lta regular meet
ing Tuesday night. Another ballot
proposal waa adopted at the regular
meeting. It said: "Shall the olty't
liability in cases of accidents caused
by the disrepair of streets, sidewalks,
etc., be reduced to a maximum of e&o.
provided the city has been notlfed
of such a condition and has had
ample time to make repalra?"
The propoaal that council men be
permitted to sell to the city created
a controversy. 8. S. Da vies, candi
date for the comtvll, shouted disap
proval, declaring that such a provi
sion would pave the way for "graft
and apectal privilege."
Councilman Ralph Kooeer scoffed
at the possibility of graft, aaylng that
aalee would have to be made under
competitive bidding. City Attorney
Frank J. Van Dyke volunteered that
the proposal wa contrary to com
mon law. He said, however, that
while moat cttlea have lawa prohib
iting officials from dealing with the
city, the laws generally are not enforced.
