N Al EAT is one of the chief tissue
IW building foods. 1t is also one
H of the foods most commonly
found on the average table.
No matter how high the price scars, 1t
Is demanded at least once day as the
principal dish in the bill of fare of the
average American family. Until re-
cent years 1t was considered almost
essential to life and was the last food
to be sacrificed if change In the diet
was recommended for reasons Of
health. At the present time people
are gradually finding out that meat is
not necessity in any bill Of fare.
They are learning there are other
foods which contain quite as much OF
the tissue building properties, and
cheese, beans, eggs and nuts are sub
stituted for the meat dish. Still, beef.
lamb. pork, fish, poultry and game
continue to be favorite foods In many
homes. and one or more Of the number
is prepared for the table every day.
Universally used as 1t is, meat of all
kinds is the food most often spoiled in
the cooking, or, to make the state
ment little more specific, 1t is the
food material in which the scientific
principles of cooking should be and are
not most carefully observed.
Composition Of Meat.
Meat is composed of bundles OF
muscle 6bers bound together by a
flmy substance called connective It's
sue. There are also in all kinds of
meat more or less fat. water and min
eral matter, besides the bone, sinew,
blood and skin. Albumen. a substance
similar to the white of egg, is found
in the blood and muscle, and this Is
the principal proteid of meat. The ex-
tractive. or the favor Of meat, is also
one Of its valuable properties. 1t is the
extractives which give some kinds OF
meat. beef especially, stimulating
value, and they also aid In the diges-
tion of the muscle fibers. The amount
Of tissue building material. or proteid.
averages from 10 to 20 per cent in diff
ferent kinds of meat. and the fat va
ries considerably, from to 60 per
cent, according to the animal and the
cut. Uncooked meat contains a large
amount Of water, usually more than so
per cent.
Meat is cooked to make 1t more pala-

any germs which it may contain. I'm

as a snowflake. Mrs. Bowser came
forward with puzzled look on her
face, and he silently handed her A tele-
gram he had received In the afternoon.
1t had been sent from a town in In

She passed upstairs, and after a few
more slghs Mr.. Bowscr began pacing
the room. AS he passed the fireplace
he noticed the gas bill for the month
on the mantel. He picked 1t up, looked
ut the figures, started back and then,
Fastening down the hall, called up the
stairway:
"By the great horn spoon, woman,

middle of the block he met his family |

pounds of bones rose before him, and
with wild warwhoop he sailed In.
