VALUE OF CANNED MEATS.
Report Of Department of AgricuIt-
ure on Nutritive Qualities.

WASHINGTON, Jan. SIN view of
the statements which have gained wide
circulation regarding the nutritive
value of the American canned meats.
tending to injure foreign and domestic
trade in these goods, Secretary Wilson
has called upon the Director of the
Office Of Experiment Stations for a
statement of the conclusions of scien-
tific experts on this matter. This
statement is as follows:
The high nutritive value of American
canned meats has been established re-
peatedly by thorough and impartial
tests conducted by scientific experts.
Some years ago DR.. w. o. Atwater,
Professor of Chemistry at the Yves
leyan University, Middletown. Conn,
began extended Investigations of the
nutritive value of foods. Later this
work was continued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture with funds appro-
priated by Congress for the purpose,
the investigation being assigned to the
Office of Experiment Stations, and Pro-
fessor Atwater's services secured as
special agent in charge.
In a communication to this depart
menti Professor Atwater says:
1T is unfortunate that the public at
large have so little appreciation Of the
nutritive value of canned meats They
are really cooked meats Invested of
the inedible portions, bone, gristle, ETC.,
which are found in fresh meats. In
the cooking and canning, which is of
the nature of boiling rather than roast
ing, water is expelled, but the amount
Of nutritive material removed is very
small indeed, so that a pound of or
binary canned meats have on the aver
age< much more nutriment than the
same weight of the fresh meat from
which it is prepared. The removal of
the bone and part Of the water, while
SO little nutriment is taken away
leaves the meat in a less bulky and
more concentrated form, so that pound
for pound the canned meat has a
higher nutritive value than the fresh
meat. In a large number of ANALYSES
of fresh and canned meats, collected
at Chicago during the Worlds Fair
and in other parts of the country be-
fore and since that time, and analysed
under my direction, the proportions of
the nutritive ingredients in the canned
meats have been found to be larger
than in the ordinary fresh meats. This
is especially true Of the protein com
pounds, which are used by the body
to build up its litrogenous materials, as
blood, muscle and bone Among the
analyses referred to, some of the
largest proportions of protein were
found in the boiled meats. Such pre-
pared meats, made of good material
and properly canned, or otherwise pre-
served, are worthy of the very high
esteem in which they have long been
held"

the outcome uncertain. The nervous

LEILA SETON WILDER
in the country. of which Mgr. Seton. Of
New Jersey. is connection. and on
the distan side descenda from Roger
Williams. She is a deSCendent of the
famous Seton family. several members
of which had their heads chopped off
and their estates confiScated for their
loyalty to Mary Queen of Scots. IN
the New York branch of this family
is now held a painting of herself Civ
en- by the unhappy Queen To David
Seton. who was Controller of the
Revenue in 1875
Possibly some of Mrs. Wilder's love
of politics comes from the old adher-
ents of Queen Mary. for her home Oh
the Decatur plantations is rendez-
vous, and Mrs. Wilder a favorite house
party hostess of national and State
politicians, and the woman planter is
not without that political influence so
dear to the soul of the true Southern
woman as she yields it in drawing
room and across the dinner table
Mrs. Wilder persistently declines to
enter clubdom or champion woman
suffrage. "All the political power |

my men friends will exercise for me-
and its n heap more fun than those
Western women have who run for Of

ways find two or three men TO vote
my way for me.
Among Mrs. Wilder's possessions ia
the old bank in Decatur. under which
she hopes some time TO discover =
buried treasure. The bank was built
in 1882 for a State bank. During the
civil war it was used both a. ~pi-
tai and fort, and was one of the five
buildings left standing at the close OF
the struggle. Several veare ago an old
soldier wrote to Mrs. wilder saying
that he knew of a large sum of money
being hidden in the bank. but he was
too poor to come to show where il /!
was unless his fare were paid IL
was too fiehv a story to notice, but :
later Mrs. Wilder's brother-in-law. who
was in the war, said that while camp !
ed at Decatur he heard money was
buried in the bank. and was supposed
to be the proceeds Of the robbery of /
a government pay car near Decatur.
Of course Mrs. Wilder is not tearing
down a stone bank for nothing. but /
any one who can locate the buried /
treasure will get q hearing from it's
owner.
