FOOD VALUE OF EGGS.

Eggs contain about 29 per
cent of protein, about the Same
as in cheese, average messt and
fish and a little more than in
peas and beans and nuts. For
a man doing hard labor beans
or chuck steak would be prefer
able to eggs as a source of pro-
teIn from the point of both
physiological and household
economy, although none of
these is necessary, since corn
or whole wheat bread contains
sufficient protein. The egg Is
easily digested and combines
fairly we'll with toast, which
supplies the carbohydrate and
bulk, but with meat, beans and
most other foods the egg is in
compatible and its retention in
the stomach long beyond the
period of It's digestion often
leads to serious results. The
yoik contains a large percent
age of fat, easily assimiIated,
with all the mineral elements.
Tho diet of cornaro, whose life
was prolonged from IS. when
physicians said he must die, to
1o2, was almost. exclusively
grape Juice and uncooked eggs
compatible and easily digested.
The popular notion about eggs
is that they are good because
they are nutritious, but whether
they are good or bad depends
largely on what other foods are
taken with them. =

MUSHROOMS.

Frequent cases of poisoning
from eating mushrooms, fresh
and canned, are reported. There
are more than 5000 varieties of
mushroom, only a few of which
are edible Some poisonous va
riettes resemble the edible so
closely that ii is not safe for
one unacquainted with their dis
tinguishins features to eat them
as they may be found in the
fields Since the mushroom has
been cultivated extensively for

and battle cry Of which will be mo COM

In his statement he said
Il see that in Pennsylvania and Mary

Taft or myself, who gets the most votes.

In certain of these states, as under

primaries to see whether my name or
that of Mr. Taft shall be put on the regu-
lar ticket instead OF being nominated by
petition, it being the intention Of the
party beaten in the primary to nominate
it's electors by petition This is an right
and proper but SO far as I have any say
in the matter, I shall not assent to any
arrangement by which under any cir
cumstances my supporters or electors
supported by them shall cast their votes
for Mr. Taft
Il make my appeal to all progressives
no matter what their past affiliations may
be who genuinely believe in progressive
principles and who believe as | do that
both Of the old party organizations are
completely under the dominion of the
bosses and of special privilege and that
both the Chicago and Baltimore platforms
are fundamentally unprogressive and re-
dictionary platforms showing that it is
hopeless TO expect from either of the old
parties under present conditions any real
and far reaching progressive movement
Therefore, ! hope that IN every state the
progressives without regard 10 their past
party affiliations may have the chance
to vote at the polls for electors who. in
