The imperial German health authori-
ties have been engaged in experiments,
the object of which was to ascertain
whether a healthful bread could be made
of a mixture of rye flour and peanuts.
incidentally it was discovered that the
refuse left after tht oil has been ex-
tracted from peanuts contains 90 per
cent Of albummous matter. Such being
the case, bread made with an admixturo
of peanuts or peanut refuse would GER
tainly be highly nutritious, inasmuch as
the nutritive element of any kind of
bread is mainly afhuminous.
Wheat and rye flours have only about
II or II per cent. of albuminous matter
in them. When oil has been extracted
by pressure or otherwise from a vegota-
BILE substapce, the residue is called coil
cake" All oilcakes are largely albumi
nous. Flaxseed oilcake contains more
than 30 per cent. of such elements, and
the oilcake Of cotton seed is about the
same. 1t is generally supposed that pea
nuts are very indigesuble. Another
question involved is whether they could
be grown more cheaply than wheat,
which would seem TO be very doubtful.
