fed upon the food or foods, the d. gestibility of which are to be deter mined. In the experiments at the University of Illinois. the diet of the subject consisted chiefly of beef, to- gether with bread and milk.
 The natural digestion experiments teach the fact that the nutriments of beef are almost completely digested The average results of SO experiments show that the proteids, the most var uable food constituents of beef are practically completely digested and that about 96 to 9S per cent. of the fat of medium lean meat are digested by healthy men, doing active work.
 The results of the experiments indi- cate plainly that the different methods of good cooking have little or no in fiuence upon the digestibility of the 1 cooked meat That is to say, natural digestion experiments point to the conclusion that fried beef, when prop erly cooked, is as completely digested

The minimum losses were as fol- lows: Total loss in weight 10.61 pounds, water SGT pounds, protein 030 pounds, fat 003 pounds and min eral matter 015 pounds.
 In large number of experiments the average losses resulting in the roasting of 100 pounds of beef were found to be as follows: Total loss in weight 23.47 pounds, water 14.68 pounds, protein 0.15 pounds, fat S.52 pounds and ash 0.12 pounds. It is thus evident that the nature of the losses is quite different in the roasting of meats from that occurring when they are boiled. In the latter. the greater part of the loss is due to water, but in the former the main loss is dis tributed between the water and fat.
 The losses of nutritive material in the pan-broiling of meats are very small as compared with the losses which take place in boiling and roast ing.
 There are two methods which are commonly used to determine tho di- gestibility of foods. They are actual or natural digestion method and the artificial method. The latter consists in treating weighed quantities of the food with very delute acid solution. Tn the actual or natural digestion ex- periments the subject of the experi- ment, usually a healthy, strong man, is
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-09-01

as is boiled or roasted beef, when prop erly cooked. However, artificial di- gestion experiments indicate clearly that rsw meat and meat. cooked by boiling and roasting are more rapidly and easily soluble or digestible than broiled or fried meats.
 It has also been plainly shown by these investigations that fat beef is not as easily or rapidly digested s4s lean beef. For example the average coefhcient of digestibility of three samples of very fat beef was only s0.45 at the end of one hour, while the average coeficient of digestfbility of three samples of lean meat was s5.52. This difference was also noticed at the end of the second hour, the ratio being then as S7.66 is to s979.
 Tn a considerable number of the natural digestion experiments, the sub jects who were strong. healthy, young men lived almost entirely upon meat Tn living for three or four days at time. every other week, upon a diet consisting almost exclusively of me4t, they experienced no detrimental or ih- furious results. They were no mOrf ineonvenienced in making meat thf chief article of their daily diet thz9 when bread or any other food was used as the main constituent in the diety No disorders in the proper workings ot the body were observed. It does not necessarily follow from these expert nsuts that a continuous meat diet would not finally produce effects of an injurious nature In fact, the results of the experiments at the University of IllinOis have led to the tentative conclusion that a judiciously mi;sed diet Is most advantageous for the average indivi6nsI

President Signs Order Fixing Com.
 pensation For Advisory Board.
 OYSTER BAY, N. r., Sept. 1.-Presi. dent Roosevelt has signed an impor- tant executive order fixing the com pensation of the members of the ad- visory board of engine CTS of the isth- milan canal and the amount the gov ernment will pay them for personal expenses. Each member of the board will receive $5,000 on the completion of the report on the canal plans which the board is to make. Following is the text of the order:
 It is ordered that each member of the advisory board of engineers upon plans of the Panama canal shall be allowed 5000, payable upon the completion of the re- port of the board. In addition thereto he shall when on duty with the board be al- lowed SIS per day for personal expenses his return thereto. including Sundays and holidays. He shall also be allowed the actual cost of transportation incurred by him in travel on duty in connection with the board : to Include cost Of ticket by railg way or steamer, sleeper or parlor car ac- commodations. baggage transfer, cabs and porterage.
 It Is further ordered that the allowances of 5000 to General Davis and General Abbott shall be increased by the amount of their retired pay for the time during which they are employed upon the work of the board. 1t being my intention that those members of the board shall receive the same compensation for this work as the other members and this increase being made to provide for the usual deduction of retired officers pay.

 he knew some of the remonstrants when they hadn't a good suit of clothes to their backs" whereupon Commissioner Walter reminded him that no personalities would be allow ed He continued. saying that his
 reason for applying for license for this place was that he wished to in- stall his son in there with another young fellow. Both are popular and he was sure they would do good business. He assured the commits sioners that only first-class place

 Attorney Russell replied. He said "that 1t was sure that the more molas- ses the more flies, but the more flies meant more drunkenness, more drunk enness meant more noise, more noise
 meant more policemen more police men meant more taxes and more tax es meant more kicking from the tax payers, and so on. Jolan Hurley. olic

 Well. remarked Commissioner
 Walter, facetiously, isn't that the

 cept the law business?"
 Mir Russell replied in the negative

 Mir Brennan asked Mir Russell

seeds appendicitic, and that bananas were bad for the digestion. We have been flooded with a mass of literature on pure foods and "back-to-naturee diets, but the statements made have lacked scientific verifcation.
 Some time ago, Prof. Atwater, of Wesleyan university, Middletown, Conn, began a series of important nutritive investigation which at once showed the significance of the food problem. About 1896, the depart ment of chemistry of the University of Illinois also began series of in- quiries into the problem of nutrition. The work is under the direction of Dr. Harry s. Grindley, professor of gen. eral chemistry. These investigations have developed new methods of re- search, and now present very large and promising field both for the scientist and the economist.
 The ultimate, fundamental, under lying object of the nutrition investiga- tions is the study of flesh as food for man. In order to attain the above object the work comprises first, study of the value of meat as food and sec ond, a study of the injurious results produced by the consumption of flesh. The specific subjects studied are chem ical composition, fuel value, digestibil- ity, economic value, methods of cook ing meats and influence of the con sumption of meat upon the health. Of all the work so far accomplished, the results obtained in the study of the cooking of meat and the digestibility of meat are of most interest and prac- tical value
 Meats in cooking lose much weight The amount, character and value of the food nutriments thus lnst is ap ir1- portant economic question. While in a pTivat9-fal- y it may not be necessary to- consider such a question, when large numbers are to be fed, it will be recognized that those meats which shrink least in cooking, other things being equal, are the most desirable. Tn connection with these researches 15O elaborate experiments have been made for the purpose Of determining the amount, character and economic value of the losses which occur when meats are cooked by the methods in common use. The results of these ex- perfments have shown that the great est loss in weight which occurs in cooking meats by boiling, and pan broiling IS due to the removal of water. Tn the roasting of meat the chief loss is due to the removal of both water and fat The losses of uutritfye material in the pan-bOiling of meats are very small as compared with the losses which take place in boiling. roasting and sauteing. The re- suits of a large number of experiments in which meat was cooked by boiling have proven that in cooking 100 pounds of beef by this method. there is upon an average the following losses: Total lOsss in weight S4-35 pounds. water 30.T5 pounds. protein 1-41 pounds. fat Izi pounds and min eral matter tash) O.4s pounds The same experiments demonstrated the maximum losses to be as follows. Total loss in weight 50z0 pounds. water 45.S2 pounds, protein 2.sZ pounds. fat s-5s pounds and mineral matter 0.70 pounds

Chicken Cholera.

This disease is indicated by the white portions of the droppings as- suming a yellowish green cast. How ever, a bad case of indigestion will give about the same appearance and thus this symptom is not a sure one. We are certain, however. that there are few cases of cholera to be found, most of the so-called cholera being in- digestion due to the feeding of too much corn at time of year when the fowls cannot get anything of sue culent nature to balance 1t up.

This scratching shed proves place for exercise during the snowy months. Chaff is scattered on the floor and the grain thrown into t. The covering of mesh wire is better than a covering of glass.

HOUSEWIVES WORK TO HARD.

HOUSEWIVES HOdh IO IlAIhD'
 I hold that this class of women in America (the hard working house. wives) is not only hard worked, but is far too much oVerworked. The number of house servants in the Unit ed States is not half so large as that in little England. This entails an enor- nous amount of household work to be done by untold thousands of American housewives. know it; I have seen it for years. In factories. in public libra ries, in postoffices and other State of fees, in private offices and in the in- finite number of schools, American wo- are working very hard, frequently to the detriment of their constitions. But herein is found the gear difficulty in summing up correctly the state women in given country. The hard worked, the overworked women are of the same type and class all the world over. They do not constitute the distinctive type of womanhood of country. We must estimate them, not by what they are actually doing, but by what they are aiming at. The very American house wife. whose husband has heretofore been unable to give her sufficient 'help" will,, as soon as her husband is finan- cially successful, turn out type. to- tally different from what she has been. It is this ever present tendency toward the distinctive American woman type, even in the lowliest of American house. wives, that constitutes the essential feature in American womanhood. As in England there is no bourgeoise proper, not because there are no middle class families, of which. indeed, there is no lack, but because in every English middle class family there are an ever present desire and a restless ambition to get socially out of that middle class; even so there is in America no real bourgeoise woman. owing to the un- mistakable, ineradieable tendency in every American woman to reach the type of that American woman whom my critics think they can restrict to a limited number with worldly inmlina- tions.-From Success. fl
