FUEL VALUE" OF FOODS
Things We Eat Have Heat-PrOducing
Power Even as Coal or Other
Fuel

The term fuel value" expresses
the quantity Of energy in the form
Of heat which a given substance can
yield when it is completely burned.
The unit of measurement employed
is the calorie. This is, in common
terms. the amount of heat necessary
TO raise the temperature of one pound
of water four degrees Fair. Since
the constituents Of food-stuffs fall
into several common chemical groups,
the method Of calculating the amount
of heat which a given food will yield
is based on the results of chemical
analysis of that food, together with
the results obtained by actually burn
ing known samples of the food con-
stituents. For example, it is found
that the classes of chemical sub
stances known as proteins and car
bohydrates yield Al calories per gram
G5.5 grains), while fats yield 9.3
calories per gram. If a sample of
milk contains per cent protein, 6
per cent carbohydrates, and per cent
fat, the total amount of heat which
these solids could yield would be 70
calories. If the analysis of a food
stuff is not made, the number of
calories it yields per gram can be de-
termined directly by burning a weigh
cd sample in oxygen, and noting the
amount of heat imported to a given
volume of water. The apparatus for
this purpose is known as calori-
meter.-C. E. Vail, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colorado.

1t was the last thing smith" had
expected, and it came with the sud
denness of the expected.
Smith" had been watching the girl
with bitterness in his heart, the bit
terness which he felt toward all hu-
manity. Even a criminal can feel the
pangs of exile, and smith" was shnk-
Ing the dust of his native land Off his
feet forever.
To be more precise, when smith
boarded the boat that ran across Lake
Michigan, a sherif's deputy was about
five minutes behind him. In front of
him lay Canada, and Smith" knew
that he had succeeded in throwing the
deputy of his trail long enough to en-
able him to reach the coveted haven of
new land without having to answer
any incOnvenient, not to say imperti-
nent questions about his past. In plain
er words. no wire had been sent TO
search the boat for him.
And smith had been disguised at
the sight of the girl. She seemed
somehow to remind him of that past
when he had not spent his days plan
ming to circumvent the law. She was
bright and winsome and free, and her
clear eyes, which looked upon the
world in friendly fashion, betokened
that she was at peace with 1t and
feared nothing.
She had looked in the same friendly
fashion upon smith," and Smith"
had muttered under his breath and
skunk away.
He was still looking at her from n
distance when, without any warning,

one of those unexpected things that

quickly. But two score of unfortu-
