E1os vs.. MEAT.-Would II not be wise
to substitute moro eggs for meat in our
daily diet? About onr.third Of tho
weight Of an egg Is solid nntrinCnt. This
Is more than can DO said Of meat. There
are no bones and tough pieces that have
to be laid aside. An egg Is made up Of
ton parts shell, sixty.purts white, and
thirty parts yolk. Tho white Of an egg
contains eighty.six per cent water! tho
yolk ifty.two per. cent. Tho average
weight OF Nh egg Ia about two ounces.
Practically oil egg Is animal food, and
yet there Is none OF the disagrGcable work
Of the butcher necessary to obtain II. The
