A quart Of milk, three.quarters Of .
pound Of moderately fat beef-sirloin,
for instance-and FIVE ounces Of wheat
-four. all contain about the same amount
Of nutritive material, but we pay very
different prices for them, and they have
different values for nutriment. The
milk comes nearest to being perfect
food. It contains all Of the different
kinds Of nutritive materials that the
body needs. Bread made from the
wheat -four will support life II con-
tains all the necessary ingredients for
nourishment, but not in the proportions
best adapted for ordinary use. A man
might live on beef alone, but It wonld
be very one sided and imperfect diet,
but meat and bread together make the
essentials Of healthy diet. Such are
the results Of experience, and the ad-
vancing science Of later years explains
them. This explanation takes into &C.
count not simply quantities Of meat
and bread and milk and other materials
which we eat, but also the nutritive In
gradients or "nutrients'"s which they
oontain.-New York Ledger.
