In your issue OF the 18th inst. IAN American
Lad asks some OF your readers to answer him
the question: Has not this young man the right
to marry a girl on this income" The income. I
believe. Is IS per weak. |. for one. would say:
Has he tn. right Yes. Should he do So No.
Eight dollars 4 week Is no Income for any man to
try to keep himself and wife on, and the girls who
could keep a house in any sort OF condition know
II: therefore. II he did marry, he would probably
get a girl who married Just for the curiosity OF
being q wife. and being able to talk TO her friends
Of my husband" My advice to 'Carios''-l he
iieve that Is who An American Lad has refer
ence to-is. wait until you are getting nearer SIS
a week then get a good American girl, he a good
husband to her, and you will fnd that there is
nothing Ike married life. THE Drake.

wonder. He can outwrestle his son OF
seventy-one at side holds. with the Nell

Albun,en Diet II Necessity.

Recent tests and experiments with
articles of food made by Studemund,
RoScnhcim and Munich have resulted
in some interesting knowledge Stude-
mund employed a large number Of re-
cruitS, by which he established the fact
that 113 grains of albumcn are neces-
sary to maintain health and strength
in a person of ordinary activity. Ros-
enheim and Munich used dogs in their
experiments. They feed them we'll but
on substances which contained but
small quantities of albumen The
dogs grew weak, lifeless and exceed
ingly frail. as if they had been starving
for weeks. These observations demon
strate the necessity Of meat diet, be-
cause, aside from leguminous plants,
vegetables contain but little albumen.
Albumen is contained in bread, fruits
and potatoes and in large quantities in
leguminous plants. Roast beef con-
tains 81 per cent Of albumcn lentils
20 per cent, rye and wheat bread 6 to
per cent. potatoes 1 - per cent, ap.
pies. pears and plums one-half per cent.
