Washington. April l3.-Dr. W. ID. Bige-

day that the canned roast beef was a
wholesome and nutritious product, even
more nutritious than fresh beef because
of the preponderance of protoids.
Prof. Mallet. professor OF chemistry, at
the University of Virginia, presented a
contrary view. He expressed the opinion
that chemical analysis was not a
sufficien test of the character of foou
product, saying that various conditions
necessarily must be considered. He did
not regard the canned roast beef as . de.
sirable ration.
