MEAT LEADS AS FOOD
80 DECLARES BULLETIN OF AGRE
CULTURAL DEPARTMENT..
Protein in Beef and Pork Most Easily
eested--Just as Nutritious
Whether Fried, BroIed,
Roasted or Baked,

Washington.-A bulletin prepared
by DR.. Fl. S. Grindley, professor of gen.
eral chemistry at the University of H.
linois, and just issued by the depart.
ment of agriculture, shows that all
kinds of meat are more easily digested
and more completely assimilated than
any other class of food. The bulletin
(No. 1889 is one of the most sensa-
tional ever issued by the federal au-
thorities and recounts a series of ex-
gariments DR.. Grindley conducted on
q digestion squad" of which he him
self was member The net result is
10 dethrone bread as the staff of life
and set up the toothsome beefsteak
and succulent pork chop in its place,
for Dr. Grindley says the protein in
meat is much more thoroughly digested
shan that in vegetable foods
But this is by no means all, for, &C
cording to the doctor, the degree and
kind of work man does makes no
difference to the ease with which he
can digest meat diet. The clerk, the
society belle and the laborer toiling
with pick and shovel from morn to
night are placed in the same category,
and each is frankly told that meat,
and plenty of it, in all forms and
cooked in all manner of ways, is best
calculated to build up the wasted it's
sues and give him day by day the
strength needed for his own peculiar
task
Discussing the relative merits of diff
1erent kinds Of meat the doctor deliv-
ers a staggering blow to diet faddists. |
1t is commonly said that meats of diff |
Eerent sorts vary decidedly in digesti- !
bility; for instance, that red meat is /
less digestible than White meat, or
beef than pork, or that a cheap cut is
less digestible than a tender steak.
As regards the thoroughness of diges-
Gion, the results of the extended series
or tests reported show that such diff
Terences do not exist in any appreci-
able degree and that meat of all kinds
and cuts is to be classed with the very
Aigestible foods"
SO, too, with the different methods
OF cooking. Fried meat against which
certain classes of food reformers have
been accustomed to disclaim in hor-
ror, is found to be as nutritious and d.
gestible as boiled, or roasted, or broiled
meat
Inc net result Of DR.. Grindley's ex-
perlments seems to be to eat all the
meat you like, cook it as you like, and
y your pocketbook rebels at the prices
Of porterhouse use round steak or
aank steak. Whatever you do, as long
- you eat meat, your stomach will not

GIRLS TO BE RADIANT AT 100.
Radlun as Perpetual Beautifier Elk.
pounded by College Professor.

| Baltimore.-In lecture at Peabody
institute, Prof. William r. Brooks OF
Hobart college said that with the aid
tof radium young woman could re,
tain all of her freshness and beauty
Yer 100 years or more. But only rich
women can afford the experiment, for
Ehe professor pointed out that this
perpetual beautifier" costs from 5000
TO $500 a grain, else the purchaser
would only get something that resem-
Dled ordinary table salt in appearance.
II When Prof Wood of the chair of
experimental physics, who was pres
emit at the lecture, was asked about the
statement he looked puzzled for a mo-
lment. Then he said:
T. ~Oh, yes, do remember something
about it, believe he found that ra-
dunn retards the growth of the cater
Epillar into the butterfly, and he argued
9rom this that it might keep people
young. One might just as well say
Chat, because cigarettes interfere with
growth, use cigarettes. Seriously,
lam quite sure DR.. Brooks was joking
when he said what he did about beau
Nv and youth. Beyond doubt he did
not intend to be taken literally"
Then you do not know anything
about radium as a beautifier?"

POINTS ON HOME SURGERY.
Proper Treatment Of What May Be
Called Minor Accidents.

When a fishhook is caught in the
flesh. if it be embedded beyond the
barb, no attempt should be made to
withdraw it, but the point should be
moved forward until it emerges from
the skin. when it may be cut off by
means Of file or pair of pliers, and
the balance of the hook withdrawn;
or the line may be detached, the eye
cut off and the whole hook pushed
through the tissues.
If a crochet hook has been thrust
into the flesh-a not uncommon acct
dent-no attempt should be made to
withdraw it directly, but large knit
ting-needle or darningneedle should
be introduced alongside Of 1t and
placed against the hook, when both
may be drawn out together without
inhicting further injury.
Punctured wounds should be treated
by means of hot lamentations. Of poul.
tees of congresses of tepid water
Torn or confused wounds heal much
more slowly than cut or punctured
wounds. Torn wounds should be
thoroughly cleansed and the injured
parts drawn together by means Of ad
hesive plasters and bandages.
Care must be taken not to employ
too strong compression. Either water
dressing or lint saturated with sweet
oil containing ten drops Of carbolic
acid TO the ounce may be employed. If
the parts have been badly bruised, hot
lamentations should he applied,
Heat is essential in cases in which
considerable portions Of tissues have
been nearly severed from the body,
but have retained a sufficient amount
Of attachment to justify the attempt
to secure union.
For confused wounds, carhoiated
vaseline spread on pieces Of thin
cloth. constitutes an excellent dress
ing. If there be a disposition Of the
injured part to become gangrenous or
to slough. the parts should be kept
! immersed in water as hot as can he
borne for time, or treated with 70
mentations.
