1t is perhaps hard for US to rea-
lize that every fooc is composed Of
definite chemical substances which
have definite purposes in supplying
the needs of the human body. Is
such and such a vegetable starchy?
Or is it a muscle former? Is it
mostly refuse? Is 1t valuable be-
cause Of its mineral salts?
The men who made a study of it
tell US that every food contains pro-
tein or muscle food: starch and fat
or heat foods and ash or mineral;
then there is also waste or refuse
In the peelings. cores, etc, and a
large percentage Of water in all OF
them.
