postmarked Hell" says the kennebec

him. as it will be to the reader that
the place indicated is within the juris-

some curiosity as to the geographical
location of it. The letter did not smell

letter was written by friend who
was an assistant surgeon in the Unit

that visited Rockland some time since,
when the acquaintance was formed,
and was written at and mailed from
his native village in Norway. In the

SPLEEN AS A FOOD.
Not Only Edible, but Highly Nutri.
tious, Declares Boston Physician.

Hous' CeStsTcS oOstOn FnySiCian.
Declaring that red blood corpuscles
come from the spleen and also an
nouncing that spleens are edible, DR..
Edward I. Williams, graduate OF
Harvard Medical school. believes hs
has found the means of adding $1,000
90 pounds to the nations annual meat
supply. which should mean Il saving
of S5,oO0,0oo II year says a Boston
special dispatch to the New York Her
aid. His discovery, he believes, makes
II possible for the poor to obtain meat
at a cost not exceeding 10 cents a
pound.
DR. Williams was graduated from
the Harvard Medical school ia 1865
and several years ago gave up prof,
liable practice to engage in original
research. In humble rooms In Dudley
street. Boston, he has lived as re-
cluse, devoting his time to study and
experimenting.
Speaking of his work to one of the
few persons who ever gained admit
tance to his quarters, he said:
"In the work | have been carrying
on | think the most important discov-
cry | have made is in regard to the
Spleen for have found that it Is this
organ which makes the red blood cor
puscles.
while this may he 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 three quarters of grain Of
iron and one and one-half grains Of
phosphorus per ounce. which makes 1t
the richest possible food and particu-
larly valuable in all cases Of impover-
ished 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. I ate my
first spleen about five years ago and
found it quite palatable. The reason
spleens have never become an article
of commercial value in the beef indus
try is because they spoil so quickly.
There is little use in placing them on
ice, for after few hours they seem
to diSintegrate and fall apart and con-
sequently are not marketable"
DR.. Williams has found, however.
that spleens can be kept like other
meat if the albumen in them Is first
coaguated by cooking. He says he Is
negotiating with a sausage manufac-
turer to put spleen on the market put
up like sausages.

All LEONG GETS ONE
NIGHT To CONSIDER

Albert All Leong appeared under a
citation for contempt before Judge De
Bolt yesterday, the offense consisting
in refusal to pay alimony for the sup
rort of his wife and children, an attor-
news fees and costs, in divorce. Chas.
Creighton questioned the respondent on
the stand very severely regarding his
failure for year past to do anything
for his wife and two little daughters.
Albert said that with the exception of
a shirt and a pair of shoes he had not
got any new clothes in the year. Later
he said he had some clothes held at
the laundry for inability to redeem
the Washman's check. He admitted
that he had some arrangements with
friends to enable him to celebrate Chi
nese New Years.
Mr.. Creighton urged that the case
was one for severe punishment, even
if the last time. and a good way would
be to put him in jail over Chinese New
Years so that he would have a taste of
what he was subjeeting his wife and
little ones to on this festive occasion.
On his own showing he could borrow
81 or $3.50 from a friend here and there
FOR himself so that it ought not to be
impossible for him to raise a little to
give his wife and children a share of
their nations making.
Judge De Bolt, to give the respondent
a chance. continued the case until
o'clock this morning.
