Heroic South Carolinian Would Have

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Washing
ton Times today printed the following
editorial on the death Of Col David
DuBose Gaillard:
"A few months more of life and
Col. Gaillard would have been made
brigadier general. His name is on the
list of those who are to receive
through congress the thanks of the
nation.
I'VE can no longer pay him this
personal tribute. If the nation wish
ed honor him yesterday it wishes it
no less now that he has made the full
sacrifice his able devotion to his duty
entailed. The fitting way to do it, the
way for which he would be most deep
ly grateful, is to make generous pro-
vision for those who were dependent
upon him."

NOT ESSENCE OF MEAT.
Homemade Broth More Nutritious
and Economical Than the CONNER
Ciul Meat Extracts.

Washington, d. G., Dec. S.--The be-
lief OF many people that boullion
cubes are concentrated meat es-
sence and of high nutritive value, has
been shattered by a recently issued
bulletin Of the Department of Agr-
culture which says, that while they
are valuable stimulants or navoring
agents they have little or no real food
value and are relatively expensive in
comparison with homemade broths
and soups This bulletin (No. 27)
compares the contents and food val
ue of bOuillon cubes with meat ca
tracts and home made preparations
Of meat.
The ordinary commercial bouillon
cubes, according to this bulletin, con-
sist of from 1-2 to 3-4 table salt. AS
they range in price from 10 to 90
cents an ounce, purchasers of these
cubes are buying salt at higher
price. The cubes do contain a small
amount Of protein (muscle building
materially in addition to their stimu-
lating properties, and the makers of
most Of the cubes make no advertised
claim that they are concentrated beef
broth or essence. However,, many
housewives believe that they are and
that they POSSESS high nutritive val
ne, especially for invalids This is
not the case. The fact that the cubes
sell for from / to cents each, and
each cube makes a cup of broth, mis-
leads the housewife into believing
that she is securing meat extract
cheaply when really she is buying il
in an expensive form.
According to analysis of these cubes
besides the common salt which con-
stitutes from 40 to ~ per cent of The
total weight, the amount of meat en-
tract ranges from s per cent in the
poorest brands to but 2S per cent IN

ingredient is plant or vegetable extract
which constitutes from 3 to 80 per
