HUSBANDS RETURN FILED.

Mr.. Dellinger's Response to Charges
Made by Mrs. DellinGer.
In connection with the proceedings for
writ of habeas corpus instituted last Friday
by Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Dellinger, who
seeks to have the court compel her hus-
band, Frank M. Dellinger. to restore to her
the infant child OF the couple, the husband
today filed his return. The cause will be
baugh.
In his return Mr.. Deilinger says he took
the child away with the full consent Of its
mother and grandmother, kept 1t at his
residence, 1904 School street, Mt. Pleasant,
one night. and then conveyed 1t to the res
idence of his sister In Woodstock. Va.
Mr.. Dellinger begs leave "in order that
the court may understand the matter clear
ly, to set forth the most remarkable and
astonishing conduct of his wife," He says
he loved his wife and was proud Of her,
but that the 25th OF last month he returned
wife and child both absent. There was q
letter from Mrs. Dellinger, in which she is
said to have declared among other things:
LAS told you before that never loved
you and never could. think Il much better
for US to part than for me to live with you
and deceive YOU"
The assistance Of the police In locating
his wife and child was sought by Mr.. Del
linger, SO he says, but he was unsuccessful
Finally, Mr.. Dellinger says. he found them
In Armory Square. He took the child to
the residence OF Mrs. DeHinger's mother
Mr. Dellinger that his wife had been to
New Jersey with another man. and he con-
tends that she Ia an improper person to

when Attorney Edward G. Niles, for Mrs.
Sarah Holmes. and Attorney John w. Pat
terson. for Mr.. Holmes, appeared before
Justice Clabaugh and requested an order
dismissing the cause in view of the recon-
Citation OF the parties. The request signed
by the two parties to the suit set forth,
among other things, that each has forgiv-

every ground for divorce.
James Ottoway Holmes is said to be one
Of the wealthiest colored men In the Dis

his wife last June, setting forth that they
had been married the 10Th day Of June,
1876, and have two children, both girls,
now living. He alleged infidelity as the
ground for divorce. Mrs. Holmes filed an
swer. in which she denied all her husbands 8
charges. On the same day motion was
filed for alimony and counsel fees, Mrs
Holmes asking the court, through her at

was recovered by the crew OF the police
boat. A number Of colored men, friends
and relatives of the unfortunate young
man. expressed a willingness to take the
body, and requested that 1t be towed up the
river to a point near the Chain bridge. The
men on the boat were advised that his en-
ployer would not defray the funeral ex-
penses and the body was then turned over
to Magistrate Donaldson. who received 1t
the second time. For some reason the
magistrate did not see his way clear to
have WashinSton's native state bury his
body, and last night the police here were
notified that the body had been abandoned
In boat on the Virginia shore.
This morning the police boat made an
other trip to the river and brought the
body to the District shore. The superin-

servations on the constituent parts
of the potato root" Einhof, in 1905,
published analyses of the potato. as
did also Vauquelin in 1917. In Amer
ica, analyses of the potato were re-
ported some so years ago by EN-
mons. These Investigations were use
full at the time. although they were
not made by the methods generally
followed to-day. This was necessarily
the case, as the subject of the chem
istry of nutrition is Of comparatively
recent growth. In later years many
studies of the composition and food
value of the potato have been made
in this and other countries.
The edible portion is made up of
1873 per cent. water, 20 per cent.
protein (total heterogeneous matter),
OIL per cent. fat, 1874 per cent. carbo-
hydrates principally starch). and one
per cent. ash or mineral matter. OF
the carbohydrates, o. per cent. is
made up of crude fiber and materials
which in some of their notifications
constitute the cell walls of plants and
give them rigid structure. The

sition of food materials, represent

tive tract, rather than chemical COM
position, which determines food
value. The digestibiiity of potatoes
has been frequently studied. Some
years ago Rubner kept a Bavarian
soldier who was used to eating large
quantities of potatoes on a potato
diet for two days. The potatoes were
boiled and eaten with salt or with
vinegar and oil as salad. The car
bohydrates, the principal nutritive
material in the potatoes, were quite
thoroughly assimilated. AS is usu-
ally the case, the digestibility was de-
termined by deducting from the total
nutrients present in the food the
quantities excreted in the feces. The
protein was not we'll digested. SINH
lar results were obtained by later
German investigator. though in this
case the protein was somewhat more
thoroughly digested. In this expert
ment about three-fourths of the
crude fiber present was found to be
digestible. A number of experiments
on the digestibility of potatoes were
also made in st. Petersburg by Rus
sian Investigator with three healthy
men. Each test was divided into two
periods. In one simple mixed ra-
ton was eaten; in the other the food
consisted of cooked potatoes only
baked, boiled or fried in oil. It was
found that SO per cent. of the total
dry matter (Which in the potato con-
sists largely of starch) was digesti-

TINE potato, called in different
regions white potato, Irish po-
tato. English potato, or round
potato, was first introduced into Eu-
rope between 1880 and 1855 by the
Spaniards, and afterwards by. the
English about the time of Raleigh's
voyages to Virginia. It is commonly
believed to be native Of Chill. Wild
potato plants closely resembling
those cultivated to-day are still found
there. though it is fact worthy
of mention that, as the potato has
been modified by cultivation, it has
largely lost the power of producing
seeds, and the cultivated potato diff
fers from the wild in seldom pro-
ducing seed-bearing fruits. When
first visited by Europeans, the aborig-
ines in Chill and adjacent regions cul-
tivated the potato for its edible tu-
bers and had apparently long done
SO. 1t was probably introduced into
the United States, especially into vir-
GINA and North Carolina, toward the
end of the sixteenth century. 1t is
not surprising that the new food
stuff should have grown rapidly into
popular favor when we remember it's
prolific yield, superior keeping quail
ties, ease of propagation and agree
able flavor.
The valuable qualities of the pota-
to were speedily recognized, and
there are early records of attempts
to determine it's food value by means
of chemical analyses. In 1895 Pear
son reported Experiments and OBJ

trogen, Al per cent. In experiments
on the digestibility of potatoes by
man, recently made at the Minnesota
agricultural experiment station, it
was found that 71.9 per cent. of the
protein and SO per cent. of the car
bohydrates were digested or assimi-
lated. In this experiment the pota-
toes were eaten with some eggs, milk
and cream, SO the conditions may be
assumed to be about normal. How
far the digestibility of any food is
influenced by the foods eaten with it
is a matter on which little reliable in
formation is available.
The experiments cited above show
little, if anything, regarding the ease
or rapidity of digestion, and, indeed,
trustworthy data of this sort regard
ing any food are not abundant. Ac-
cording to some investigations made
a number of years ago by Beaumont,
and which have been frequently
quoted, roasted or baked potatoes re-
quire somewhat less time than bread
for digestion in the stomach (conver-
sion into chyme); boiled potatoes re-
quire the same time as bread, namely,
3h hours. Too much Importance
should not be attached to these diff
ferences, as no account was taken of
digestion in the intestines. AS the di-
gestion of starch takes place in the
intestinal tract after the food has
left the stomach, this is matter of
great Importance in the case of
starchy foods like the potato. The to-
tai length of time the potato remains
in the body probably does not vary
much with the different methods of
cooking.
According to statistics obtained in
the large number of dietary studies
made in this country, potatoes con-
stitute about 1917 per cent. of the to-
tai food consumed by the average
American family, and furnish not far
from 3.9 per cent. of the total protein
and ten per cent. Of the total carbo-
hydrates.
The potato is staple article of
diet in almost every household. The
universally and extent of its con-
sumption would seem sufficient to
prove it to be wholesome and nu-
tritious food. The statement, how
ever, is frequently met with in popu-
lar articles that potatoes are not
wholesome. So far as can be learned
this is purely gratuitous assump-
ton. While it is possible that there
are persons with whom they do not
agree, or who for some reason are
compelled to forego starchy foods,
there is no reason to suppose that po-
tatoes are not as rule a useful and
wholesome article of diet.
The potato is essentially starchy
food, and eaten alone it would fur
nish very one-sided, badly balanced
diet, which would probably prove un-
wholesome to most people, as it has
been estimated that man in health,
performing a moderate amount of
muscular work, is best maintained by
diet furnishing daily O.25 pound
protein in addition to fat and carbo-
hydrates enough to make the total
fuel value $500 calories, while a man
without active physical labor might
be we'll nourished with O.2O pound of
protein and 5000 calories of energy.
When the potato is eaten with meat,
eggs, fish, ETC., which are essentially
heterogeneous foods, q well-balanced
diet, which is most conducive to
health and vigor. il secured.

layer, and flesh differ somewhat in
composition, they all resemble more
or less closely that of the whole tu-
Der.
The principal ways of cooking pc.
tatoes are baking, boiling and fry
ing, or some notifications of these
processes. The objects sought are
principally to soften the tissues and
render them more susceptible to the
action of the digestive juices and to
improve the flavor. Just why cook
ing changes the flavor as it does has
apparently never been made the sub
ject of investigation. In potatoes, as
in other foods, the cooked starch is
more agreeable to the taste than the
raw. Possibly also there are volatile
bodies of more or less pronounced
flavor, which are removed or pro-
duced by the heat of cooking. The
physical condition of the potato is
much affected by heat. In the raw
potato the separate starch grains are
Enclosed in cells with walls composed
I of crude fiber, material resistant to
digestive juices. If potatoes were
eaten raw, the digestive juices would
not reach the starch as easily unless
the cell walls happened to be rup-
tured mechanically, as in mastication.
Heat, however, expands the water
present, ruptures the cells and breaks
up the starch, expanding the gran
ules, which, when raw, consist of
tightly-packed concentric layers, to a
mass of much less solid structure.
In considering the nutritive value
Of any food, the digestibility must be
taken into account, for It is what the
body can absorb from any given ma
tsrial as it passes through the diges-
