ADDS SPLEEN TO LIST OF FOODS
Boston Physician Declares Hitherto
Discarded Organ Is Edible.

Boston Physician Declares Hitherto
Discarded Organ Is Edible.
Declaring that red blood corpuscles
come from the spleen and also an
nouncing that spleens are edible, DR..
Edward 7. Williams, graduate of
Harvard Medical School, believes he
has found the means of adding 50,000,-
900 pounds to the nations annual
meat supply, which should mean a
saving of $5,00O,OO0 year. His dis
covery, he believes, makes it posi-
BILE for the poor to obtain meat at
cost not exceeding ten cents a pound.
DR.. Williams was graduated from the
Harvard Medical school in 1865, and
several years ago gave up profita-
BILE practice to engage in original re-
search. In humble rooms, in Dudley
street, he has lived as recluse, de-
voting his time to study and expert
menting.
Speaking of his work to one of the
few persons who ever gained admit
tance to his quarters, he said:-
"In the work l have been carrying
on | have made is in regard to the
spleen, for have found that 1t Is this
organ Which makes the red blood cor
puscles.
while this may be matter of con.
siderable interest to physicians and
specialists still what is of far greater
Importance to the average man or wo.
man is that have discovered spleens
are good to eat, and extremely palata
BILE when fresh. The average spleen
contains 3-4 of grain of iron and
1-2 grains of phosphorus per ounce,
which makes 1t the richest possible
food and particularly valuable in cas-
es of impoverished bloods or nervous
debility.
"The spleen Is really the iron gland
of the body, and contains more phos
phorus than any other organ with the
exception Of the brain. ate my first
spleen about five years ago and found
it quite palatable.
"The reason spleens have never be-
come an article of commercial value
in the beef industry Is because they
spoil SO quickly. There is little use
in placing them on ice, for after a
few hours they seem to disintegrate
and fall apart, and consequently are
not marketable"
DR.. Williams has found, however,
that spleens can be kept like other
meat if the albumen in them is first
coagulated by cooking. He says he Is
negotiating with sausage manufac-
turer to put spleen on the market put
up like sausages.-Boston correspon-

MOTORS VS.. HORSES.
Their Relative Value in Military Ser

Their Relative Value in Military Ser
vice.
The relative merits of motors and
horsed vehicles for the requirements
of army transport and for employment
as heavy baggage wagons have been
studied with great care abroad, and
repeated trials of special motors have
been made under tho conditions like
ly to occur in actual warfare in the
open field. AS the result of these
tests certain necessary structural al
terations have been formulated involv-
ing tHght off tie ground for crossing
ditches and ploughed fields and ex-
ceptional strength in the frame, as
also the rsuck of spare gear needed,
with other essential conditions for
suc, purposes. 1t has, we believe,
besn definitely determined that as
weight carriers motor wagons are for
army purposes greatly superior to
horsed vehicles, especially in hilly
country and over very rough ground.
Colonel the Right Hon. Sir J. II. A.
Macdonald has recently been discuss
ing the use of motors for the convey
ance of troops in war time, and he
has given some striking illustrations.
Of the advantages gained over railway
transport under certain circumstanc-
es. He selected Dorking for the point
of concentration and taking an ordi-
nary train travelling between London
and Dorking> the period occupied in
the journey Is set down in the time
table at an hour AMI twenty minutes.
He asserted that motor vehicle
could cover the distance, driven with
care and consideration" in one hour
and a quarter; the motor could then
return light to London in an hour and
five minutes, and could repeat this
performance many times in the day.
Assuming that the 1900 motor omni-
buses that will shortly be available
in London could be pressed into the
transport service, each OF which
could cover this distance in two hours
and ten minutes and make six double
Journeys of this length, he showed
that with the modest unit of load OF
thirty men per vehicle this fleet OF
omnibuses could convey 100000 men

and Dorking in. thirty hours, leaving
