HUTRlTIvE QUALITIES OF FoOD.

The excessive dearness of all kinds of
food, remarks the Philadelphia Ledger,
should induce not only habits of economy in
its use, but should lead to the adoption of
those articles of food for the table which are
the most nutritious in their quality, and which.
fortunately for the laboring classes, are the
cheapest in price. The Baltimore Patriot
gives the following result of strict chemica,
analysis.by which the comparative quantities
of nutriment contained in the principal ar
ticles used as food. have been tested. 1t Is
shown that white BEANS corn meal, wheat
-four, barley meal and rice, are the very best
kinds Of food, and most of them are the very
kinds which are the cheapest to purchase
and use:
II is proper to state that the articles were all re.
duced to perfectly dry state by evaporating the
water they contained, aud then subj jecting them to
careful chemical analysis. The following table,
food, aud fruh, shows the quantity of nutritive
matter and of water 10 each article, and, by com
pairing one article with another, shows Tie COM
