VREELAND'S DRAMATIC LIFE.
The Conductor That Whitney Picked
to Be President of His Street Rail-
Ways.

George l.. Fielder, iu \in,ecs.
The career of VI. II. Nreeland is as
dramatic as a play. He began as
section man on the Long Island rail-
road, became brakeman then got
employment on what il now known
as the Putnam road. one dHy Will
liam c. Whitney was making tour
of inspection Oh this railroad With
other directors. He began to question
the officials of the company on the de-
tails of the roads business, To almost
every question. they replied tamely,
Guess you'd better ask Nreeland
about that"
"Who Is Vrceland?" said Whitney.
Hes the conductor"
Nreeland was sent for, and Whitney
found him "a tall, raW-buned man with
square jaw ana fine, regular white
teeth. which showed continually while
he answered II rapid fire of questions
Whitney hadn't talked with him lit-
teen minutes when he had him mark
ed Some time later Nreeland received
a telegram from Whitney asking him

and Seventh Avenue railroad that day

He reached the Office on time. He had

"Wel, Mr.. Whitney is waiting for

/ Nreeland was taken in and intro

West Houston Street and Pavonia Fer

president to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of John Crimmins. The

reason, however. why nuts should not
fill an increasingly large place I'm
dietaries. Very few foods supply the
needed nutrients in the proper pro-
portion to form a we'll balanced ratio l.
Foods rich in fuel constituents need
TO be combined with other foods OF
relatively high protein content. The
low percentages of carbohydrates In
nuts would seem to fit them as one
of the sources of food for diabetic and
other persons who find it needful 70
avoid foods containing much starch or
sugar.
THE CHESTNUT.
The chestnut differs materially from
the six nuts mentioned above as most
commonly eaten. 1t contains about
the same amount OF protein. only one
fourth as much fat and six on seven
times as much carbohydrates. In
deed. its high starch content explains
why chcstnuts are so little eaten
raw.
Peanuts have fuel value of only
ninety-siX caIories for each 0.0l pound
of protein. and hence have a relative
excess of protein. This is so unlike
other vegetable foods. with the eX-
ception of the near relatives of the
peanut. as peas and beans, that it is
of great Importance.
In this country nuts will probably
never. to any extent. replace the ce-
real foods. as is the case in some sec
tions of the old World, Not only
would the original cost prevent, but
the labor involved in Smelling and pre-

a serious obstacle to their extended
use.
While nut meats are generally eaten
without any previous preparations,
they may be used in a variety of ways.
Chopped nut meats are much relished
for sandwiches and nut salads are not
uncommon. The use of nuts in cakes,
confectionery, creams. etc, has al
ready been alluded to. Many at
tcmpts have been made to prepare
nut foods and to extend their use in
various ways. Peanut butter, as it is
called, is marketed to a considerable
extent This is said to consist of the
kernels ground, with OF without the
addition of small proportion OF
water.
Attention has been called to the
| fact that nuts form very concen-
trated food. They should therefore be
eaten with more bulky foods, and, eX-
| cept in the case of the peanut, with
| those richer in protein.
There are no reliable datWregarding
| the digestibilty of nuts. The belief
in their indigcstibility seems to be
widespread. and perhaps has some
| basis i'm fact. 1t is quite probable
| that if the nuts Were properly pre-
pared and eaten at proper times much
of this prejudice would disappear

| them at odd hours, or as dessert, wher
| sufficient food has been taken to meet
| the requirements OF the body, over
! taxes the digestive organs and places
! the nut under a reproach that is, al
| least in part undeseiNed.
There is a widespread belief that
| salt aids in the digcsJihility of nuts
and experience seems to bear out this
| opinion.

the original plan, and insisted that an
au-Canadian line was absolutely nee

extraordinary influence he had already
commenced to exercise over his assoc

into the work with all the strength
of his iron nature. His first task was
to attack the wilderness on the north
of Lake Superior.
Twelve thousand railroad nayvies
and from 1,500 to 1000 teams of horses
were set to work, involving the use
