Tho Value Of Foods,

A comparative study of tables, com =.
piled on dietetio subjects, is full Of
surprises to the uninitiated. 10 isnot
generally known. for example, that
raw cabbage requires only an hour
and q half for digestion, while the
same vegetable boiled takes four hours
and half, and ranks. consequently,
as one of the slowest to digest among
foods. Raw sweet apples, soured pigs
feet, fresh trout, boiled rice, venison
steak, fresh salmon are all desirable
foods from a digestive point OF view.
Roasted pork ranks highest on the
other side, taking five hours and q
quarter for assimilation, and Compel
ing with it closely in the same way
are roasted wild duck. boiled pork,
fried beefsteak, fowls, and, what is
surprising, vegetable soup. In food
values, too, statistics dispel many
carefully cherished notions. Oysters
and milk, to illustrate, ore credited
with, respectively, only twelve and
thirteen per cent. Of nutriment, while
raw oils lead the list with ninety.fv
per cent. Raw oucumbers and melons
add little nourishment to the human
frame with their trihing percentages
OF two and three.

pressed the belief that the stirring devel-

tiaso. the shipping of Spanish prisoners
to Spain, coping with the yellow fever
situation end preparations for the next
aggressive campaign. No reports from
General Shafter or Admiral Sampson were
received during the early part of the day
A dispatch was received late last night
stating that the entire number of fever
cases up to that time did not exceed 500
Thi slowered the estimated by one-half
from that given in press dispatches and
was a source Of satisfaction TO the au-
thorities. Colonel Alden, acting surgeon
general. said the situation was much less
serious than would appear at first glance,
for while the aggregate of 600 seemed
large. it was relatively small when it was
remembered that there were D. 600 troops
at the front. Surgeon Arthur Of New
York has been given carte blanche TO get
together at the earliest moment large
number of contract doctors and nurses
familiar with fever cases. They VIII go
