Steve*h- son is a well known young minister Harvard Professor Says Sunlight, Air and Water can be Used to Make- Foods. Is Synthetic Article. New York, Oct. 7—That nutritious foods can be made from three ele ments—-sunlight, air and water— is calimed by Dr. Winthrop John V. Osterhout, professor of botany at Harvard University, fellow of the American Association fon the Ad vancement of Science and 6T the American Academy of Arts and Sci ences, who yesterday gave some of the practical results of liis recent ex periments in synthetic chemistry. Synthetic food making is as yet confined to the laboratory stage, Pro fessor Osterhout _said, but that is usual witli most “discoveries of this kind. Speaking of this method of producing food he said: “Analyzing food, we learn that the three chief coibponents are- sugar, fats and protein^- Until recently It was impossible to manufacture sugar synthetically, but now we have solved the riddle in several different ways. Iron rust, exposed to the prismatic rays of. the sun through water, makes formaldehyde, since the rays of' the sun, acting upon the rust as a con tact agent, mixed with the carbon diovide of the air, and water, makes this powerful chemical. From form aldehyde certain forms of sugar may be obtained. Other, ways of making sugar synthetically are through the employment of ultra-violet rays, ra dium and electricity, been'to observe the process by which the plant transforms the carbon di oxide, gas and water together into sugar, and later into starch, either of which forms can be preserved. "So much for obtaining sugar. Pro tein is composed of certain acids. It has been found possible® in the' lab oratory to take the carbon dioxide jjf the air, water and anfimonia, which is also found in the air in small Quan tities, to form a simple kind of pro tein. Now, through the combination of sugar and protein, both of which have been manufactured in the lab oratory, the necessary fat is obtained, witk the resultant nutrious food. “Of course one of the greatest ob- of the A. R. P. church, and has re cently accepted a call extended to him by the church at Clinton. The congregation has recently purchas ed a manse, where Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson will soon be at home to their friends. ■ AOTIUE ^ of the FOUNTY TREASURER. • The Hooks of the County Treasurer will lie open for the collection of State, County and Commutation Road Taxes for the fiscal year, 1919, at the Treasurer’s office from October 15th to'December 31st, 1919.
