BEEF OR CABBAGE.
Relative Values for Producing Energy
to Be Determined.

Washington, May Ito determine
whether roast beef produces more en-
ergy in the human body than cabbage,
whether baked beans in this respect
surpass potatoes, and so on through "a
long list of foods, the department of
agriculture is conducting a series of
novel experiments. The instrumental
ity being employed is a machine known
as a calorimeter and human being
who submits to the torture" of being
I'D and sitting in a glass cage while
the food energy is recorded.
Around the inside of the calorimeter
which is a glass, alright compartment
about the size of a small steamer state
room, runs a system of pipes filed
with cold water. The temperature of
the water is carefully noted, the
heat generated by the body in the pro-
cess of assimilating the food causing
the water to become warmer. Only one
kind of food is given to the subject at
a time. One experiment requires sew
eraI hours, or sometimes longer, ac-
cording to the time required to digest
the food.
The experiments so far have been to
determined the relative heat producing
energy of fatty and starehy foods.
Several months will be spent in making
the tests.
