EGGS AS FOOD

Philadelphia Record: The egg is
pure food. Albumen is the chief in
gredient in an egg. About six
tenths of all eggs is the white,
three-tenths the yolk and one-tenth
the shell. And of the white of an
egg eighty per cent is water, fifteen
and one-half per cent dry albumen
and four and one-half per cent salts,
etc.
Even more albumen is contained
in the yolk-seventeen and one-half
per cent. The yolk has so much oil
(twenty-eight and three-fourths per
cent? that it is really an emulsion.
Albumen is an organic element,
mostly carbon, with a small per
cent. of sulphur, and containing hy-
drogen, nitrogen, oxygen, etc. Near
ly all the essential elements Of ami
