Different Kinds Of Food.

~ cRrclul compiler OF fuct3 rs 10 the
cffeots of different kinds of food on the hu.
man system says:
The -four which contains the most gluten
or muscle making food is not ory the most
nourishing but tho most economical. Bread
should be raised with yeast, not with
soda. Saleratus is within itself an active
poison.
Next to wheat, rye is the best of cereals,
contains more heat producing, but less OF
muscle and brain producing olcmcpts
than wheat, and the sumo is true of Indian
corn.
Buckwheat is inferior to wheat in its
nutrtlvo clements; contains moro heaters,
but not half of tho muscle and brain
food
Oatmeal is rich in food for muscle and
braps. La one pint Of oatWeal Cruel there
is ns much Of muscle making material as in
i've gills OF unboted meal Cruel, or in three
quarts Of fnc -four Cruel!
Rice contains a little nourishmcnt. II
helps out u meal with hccis.cak, etc., and
ia good in somc cases OF sickness when The
stomach is weak aud little nourishmcnt is
needed.

good powers of digestion. Two pounds Of
beans will help to do more muscular work
than three pounds of wheat, aud more hr,in

contain less by twonty per cent. Of ihcr
requisite of heaters, and for that rcn*oY
they require to be eaten with polk or plcuty
OF butter. Grcea bcans are not az nutr-
tious as dry, because starch is not formed
in them.
Peas contain nearly the same elements
and in tho same proportion US beans, but
they are moro easily diyestcd. They re-
quire plenty Of butter as + heater.
Starch, sugar aud tut arc the chief heat
ing principles Of food. Potatoes contau
large proportion Of starch, and this
makes them valuable in connection with
other food.
