Cooked Meat..

Boiled meat may lose some Of its
best foodstun properties: If, too much
water is used in It's boiling or If it is
taken from the water In which it Is
boiling, instead Of allowing 1t to re-.
main and recover by absorption some
OF Its valuable properties. Eight
pounds Of beef after it is boiled will
weigh six and half pounds. After
it is baked it will lose two pounds and
six ounces. After it is roasted It will
lose three pounds and ten ounces. 9th
er meat loses almost in the same pro-
portions when 1t is cooked. 1t will be
noticed that roasting meat causes it to
decrease considerably more than boil
Ing One great trouble. of course, in
boiling meat is that it loses nearly IS
per cent Of its mineral matter and IL
per cent Of its fats and nearly 8 per
cent of its proteids. Housewives
should not worry over this. however.
when it isl Known that there is great
er percentage Of nutriment in cooked
meats. Notwithstanding the loss by
