THE VALUE OF FLAVORS.
We Could Not Get Along without Theis
Presence in Our Food.

Y
Presence in Our Food.
Chemists tell us that cheese is one
of the most nutritious and at the same
time one of the cheapest foods. It's
nutritious value is greater than meat,
while it's cost is much less. But this
chemical aspect OF the matter does not
express the real value of the cheese as
food. Cheese is eaten, not because of
it's nutritious value as expressed by
the amount of proteids, fats and carbo-
hydrates that it contains, but always
because Of it's flavor. Now physiolo-
gists do not find that flavor has any
food value. They teach over and over
again that our foodstuffs are proteids.
fats and carbohydrates. and that food
flavor plays absolutely no part. But,
at the same time, they tell us that the
body would be unable to live upon
these foodstuffs were it not for the
flavors.
If one were compelled to eat pure food
without flavor, like the pure white of
an egg, it is doubtful whether one
could, for a week at time, consume
needs. Flavor is as necessary as nui-
triment. 1t gives zest to the food
and thus enables us to consume it
properly, and, secondly. it stimulates
the glands to secrete. SO that the foods
may be satisfactorily digested and as
simulated The whole art Of cooking.
the great development of tiavoring
products, the high prices paid for spe-
cial foods like Holsters and oysters
these and numerous other factors con-
nected with the food supply and pro.
duction are based solely upon demand
for flavor. Flavor is a necessity: but
it is not particularly important what
the flavor may be. This is shown by
the fact that different people have such
different tastes in this respect. The
garlic of the Italian and the red pepper
of the Mexican serve the same purpose
as the vanilla which we put in our ice
cream; and all play the part of giving
relish to the food and stimulating the
digestive organs to proper activity

HE MOUNTED HIS AUTOMOBILE.

He was always a slow going chap
Till he mounted his automobile;
lie never had ginger nor snap
Till he mounted an automobile;
But his nature was changed and he cast
OF his easy old ways of the past
And became undeniably fast
When he mounted his automobile.
He SHE'D at the things in his way
Till he mounted an automobile
lie would loiter and dawdle all day
I'LL he mounted an automobile;
But he went with a whiz and whir
Over child, over chicken and cur,
AS If urged by some sharp. cruel spur,
When he mounted his automobile.
