pounds. in both food and body, are
proteine, fats. carbohydrates, mineral
matters and water.
Now, the body may be considered as
a machine. and the food as its fuel,
the energy of which is turned into
heat and power; but this is not all, for
the nutritive ingredients of food also
build all the organs and tissues of the
body and keep them in repair.
And it is not muscular action only
which consumes material-material
. that must be resupplied through the
agency of food, for it is expended with
the exercise of every thought and
feeling. Therefore, as Prof. Atwater
expresses it. THE chief uses OF food
are to form material of the body and
repair its wastes, and to yield heat
and furnish power" To find out, then,
the degree in which food answers the
body's needs, the chemist first reduces
the body into it's component parts,
which are: Water. 60 per cent; min
eral matter or ash. to per cent;
proteine, Is per cent; fats, 10 per cent,
and carbohydrates, about per cent,
the remainder being refuses, and then
he proceeds to ascertain how nearly
the food can establish and maintain
these proportions, and at the same time
supply heat and power.
1t is not to be understood that the
food must contain these elements in
the same proportions as they are touno
in the body; it is sufficient, that us
ingredients are such as to repair the
body's waste by forming new material
in the proper proportions, and to give
the requisite energy and with the least
tax upon the body in the operation or
appropriating the constituents OF the
food to its uses. For, as can be read
ily understood, food might have a
high tissue building or heat and power
furnishing quotient, and yet be in
digestible to an extent THAT would
so tax the body as to greatly impair
the value of the food. Again, the
food might, its elements considered as
a whole, give a high percentage OF Au-
tritive value, and yet fail in the es-
sential of proportion. For instance, 1t
might fall short in the production Of
heat and power, though an adequate
tissue builder-and seven-eightS of the
food consumed, it is estimated by 50
high an authority as DR.. S. A. Knapp,
is expended in the production of en-
ergy.
Still another thing must be consid-
cred in determining the value Of food,
and that is whether or no it contains
refuse, and to what extent. AS an
example: The hens egg contains IL 2
per cent. of refuse (shelD, and 65.5
per cent. of water, both non-nutrients,
and beef contains 1873 per cent. of
refuse (bOnes, etc.,, and 81 per cent.
of water, while rice has no refuse,
and only 1878 per cent. of water. So
it is to be seen that in estimating the
value of a food the more important
are its energy furnishing constituents,
its digestibility and it's degree of free
dom from non-nutrients. In these, rice
