Drinking Water With Our Food.

From Popular Mechanics.
It is a trifie disconcerting to be told
that when the thrifty housewife expends
from 20 to 2S cents per pound for the
best cuts of beef about 60 per cent of the
sum is being paid for water. Yet such is
the case, about 60 per cent of the bulk OF
uncooked beef or mutton being water.
The flesh of pigeons is about 20 per cent
water, that of fowls and ducks 60 per
cent, while the really fat goose may have
as little as 80 per cent of water in its
composition. The flesh of fish varies con-
siderably in the quantity of water con-
tained. the figures ranging. according to
the kinds Of fish, from 10 to 50 per cent.
