VALUE OF CREAM.
As Compared With Meat.

One Of the most Valua BILE items i'll
ones dietary is good, rich cream The
remark is frequently made that cream
is too expensive t. use freely" Such
people think they must have meat
every day at 10 and % cents per pound,
and do not realize that cents worth
of pure cream for breakfast will do
more to put on flesh than % or 80 cents
worth Of meat. An ideal portion of
breakfast is that obtained from say,
four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts and a
little, pure. thicll cream. This is one
of the most delicious dishes imaginable
and is served without cooking or
trouble of any kind and cannot be
cqualed in point of food value for the
human body. The Grape Nuts, con-
sistinS largely of grape sugar, have
passed through processes similar to the
first act of digestion and are there
fore most easily digested. and in COM
binaflon with cream, they render the
cream itself easy of digestion.

Marvellous Immunitr,.

The most remarkable feature of the
war thus far has been the little loss of
life on the American side. We have
won superb victories and accomplished
heroic achievements, captured and de-
stroyed ships of the enemy and bat
tered down massive forts and fortifica-
tons, causing the loss of hundreds of
lives. vet barely half a dozen Ameri-
cans have been killed in action. These
hombardments but in cable cutting
skirmish and a harbor reconnaissance
by a little torpedo boat. We can hard
ly be too thankful for the preservation
of Americans from death. 1t would be
difficult to find in history any sue
cesses equivalent to those we have won
achieved at so little sacrifice on the
part of the victors.
1t is indeed an astonishing record,
without a parallel in history which
these seven weeks of war present.
Where the fighting has been heaviest
we have not lost a man. Dewey sailed
into a hostile harbor, engaged both
fleet and forts and destroyed both.
Not a man was killed on our side.
Sampson bombarded the forts at San
Juan and SO crippled them that, as he
reported, he could have taken the place
without difficulty. Again there was
not a man killed on our side. Hobson
took his ship past the batteries into
Santiago harbor and there blew her up
to blockade the channel. Ii was a
most desperate undertaking, but still
again not a man was killed on our side
Finally Sampson has blown to bits the
forts at Santiago, hsisted "Old Glory"
over one of them, sunk a Spanish war
ship in the harbor and. made himself
master Of the situation after terrific
bombardment of three hours duration.
Again not a man was killed on our
side. On these occasions hundreds Of
Sraniards We're killed and hundreds
more wounded, by their own admis-
sions, though we cannot know the ex-
act loss. No doubt the poor marks
manship of the Spanish gunners ac-
counts for the most part for the
Phenomenal immunity Of our forces,
They have wasted ammunition enough
al Manila and Santiago to have sunk
all our ships and sailors.
OF course such Il clean and gratifying
record as this cannot be maintained if
the war continues for amy considerable
time. y land campaign at Santiago or
Havana must result in losses in battle,
in addition 10 those who die Of sick
ness in the camps. At Chickamauga.
Tampa ana Camp Alger, there have
been very few deaths, considering the
conditions. and with proper attention
TO sanitary details it is hoped this good
record may be kept up. When the
army sees active service deaths are
bound to be more numerous than thu
navy has experienced. But this is
primarily i naval war and it is hoped
in the weeks that remain before pcaae
is 4 reality our navy may lie az
fortunate as in the past seven weeks of
constant activity. Not a ship yet lost
or damaged, ana only half a dozen men
killed. while one Spanish fleet has been
sunk, another securely bottled up. and
the third and last one frightened into
huggins the home shores 5000 miles
away.
