Nutrition Nuggets.

The chief value. in meat extracts
lies in their stimulating qualities and
their f1avoring extracts. These eX-
tractives from meat have a tendency

thus aiding digestion. If the chief point
is one OF adding to the nutritive value
of thte diet. beef juice is more valuable
than beef extract.
The chief reasons for cooking veg
etables and fruits are these: First,
to soften the woody substance or Gel
lulose, as it is called; second, to
burst the covering of the starchy
grains: third. to add to the flavor;
and fourth. to make the products
more digestible.
In the ordinary diet we find two
types of fat; first, the fat which is
naturally a part of the food eaten.
and second. the fat that has been re-
moved from the food, such as meat
or milk, and which is added to food
during cooking. Either type offers
fat in a form easily utilized by the
body. although there are, of course.
differences in the degrees of diges-
tibility.
We usually think of butter as be-
ing merely fat. This fat, however,
acids, all of which contribute to the
food value of the butter.
|. Vegetables and fruits are our most
important sources of the vital neces-
sary mineral salts, without which the
body cannot be completely nour-
ished or maintained in health.
1t is not sufficient to know the
composition OF food products. We
must also know the effect of each
element contained in the food on the
human body. Finally. we must know
the place of the food as a whole in
producing a well-rounded dietary.
One of our greatest authorities
tells US that there are three main
points to remember in feeding in
fants and children suffering from
acute infectious diseases. This au-
thority bids US remember first, the
great need of water second, the fact
that digestion is very much impaired
and third. that fats are not SO easily
digested as starch or protein foods.

by a servant in livery almost
as pictorial as the uniform of

card Of Count de Bonelle was taken
to Miss Agnes Springstreet. to whom
the count was paying court.
The Springstreets were ambitious
for this younger daughter. Before
Josiah had won his pile, his elder

dominate money on one side and dis

result.
A new maid to Miss Agnes, named
Dolores, had been engaged the day
before this visit Of the count. Dolores
was certainly a curious person. for
when her mistress vent to join the
count the maid looked at the counts
card. Then she stole downstairs and
from the refuge of a heavy curtain
spied upon the lovers. Their endear-
ments affected her strangely, for she
hurried upstairs again and> dressing
hurrriedly for the street, told another
| maid she had been called out unex-
pectedly.
Having an apartment in a neigh
boring hotel, as he said, the count

he left the mansion he met the maid
nearby.

Denison Bill In Conflict
With Transfer
Proposal

WASHINGTON, March 22.--The
House committee on interstate and for.
efgn commerce today favorably reported
the Dsnison bill creating corporation,
capitalized at 5000 900 for the opera.
ten Of the Warrior. Mississippi barge
line services.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The
joint congressional reorganization COM
mittee will, together with its report,
submit a bill removing the international
and waterways service. including the
Warrior river, from the war department
to the department of commerce.
The sessions of the committee have
been executive and no statement Of
what has been determined is author
lid. There is no question, however, but
that the foregoing is true.
Between the Denis0n bill and the
bill to be submitted by the joint COM
mission, there is an obvious conflict,
which, until eliminated, will leave the
Warrior suspended in jeopardy.
The idea prevails, however, that as
soon as the Denison bill reaches the
Senate it will be so amended that
wherever the war department appears
the department of commerce" will BE-
substituted. Such substitution would
not be displeasing to the warniest con-
gressional friends of the Warrior, al
though it would mean the elimination
Of Col. T. Q. Ashburn, who is regarded
az the ablest supporter of the Alabama
enterprise in Washington.
Uidner the terms of the Dehison
measure, Ashburn would have become
the direct representative Of the Secre-
tary OF War as head Of proposed cor
poration and his rank weuid have been
that of brigadier general.
That which renders Alabamians I'M
easy as to the Warriors fate 10 the
highly controversial nature of the plan
Of the joint commission. To it's every
proposal there is sharp opposition. 1t
it certain that before it can be written
into law indefinite time will have been
consumed. 1t is regarded as highly
improbable that the accomplishment will
be an event of this session of Congress.

DENIES
HE INTERPRETED
IN TAX REFUNDS
Says Bureau Welcomes
Amy Investigation OF
Constructive Purpose

WASHINGTON. March 22.--Secre-
tary Mellon declared in a statement to-
day that he had never interfered or
attempted to influence the department
Of internal revenue in its decisions on
any tax case.
Issued in connection with the hear
ings conducted this week by Senate
committee investigating the internal
revenue bureau, the statement added
that the treasury welcomed any insesti-
Cation of the revenue bureau which
has for its purpose the investigation of
conditions with q view to constructive
suggestions for an improvement in the
administration"
Referring to testimony given before
the committee, the secretary said its
news value rs obviously conferred in
Sensational general charges made by dis
charged employees rather than the re-
markable ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the bu-
reau in view of the conditions with
which il was faced after the war"
1Unqunliffedly False"
Charges that preference has been
given 20 companies in which he is fl
nAneinlly interested. Mr.. Mellon de-
elafed were '-preposterous and I'M
qualifisdly false"
The atatement follows in part:
Considerable publicity has been
given the amount Of refunds of taxes
allowed By the government and vague
and general charges have been made
that large sums Of money have been
returned to the taxpayers Illegally and
uninstlf. The elements which have in
fact affected the amounts of refunds of
taxes are the completion of the audits
By the bureau Of taxes for high war-tax
years, decisions of the supreme court
On disputed Questions Of tax liability
and the better recognition by the tax
payer Of his rights.
at should be borne in mind that
since 1911 there have been about $20,-
total refunds are only $202, 00O, 900, or
/ per cent Of the amount collected. The
additional assessments made BY the bu-
rean as result Of audit Of returns are
el1ht times the amount OF the refunds.
In other wofds, there IL an additional
assessment In favor Of the government
Of 81 for every 10 cents Of refund in
favor Of the Taxpayer.
TAe Gulf Case
The charges have been made that
preference has baef given to companies
In which the Secretary Of the Treasury
IL financially interested. Such a charge
Il preposterops and unqualifiedly
false. The Gulf Refining eompany's
case, to which 30 much publicity has
been directed, was settled before be-
came Secretary Of the Treasury. No
evidence has Been pFoduesd by any one
at any time from which a reasonable
inference might be drawn that diserfm-
nation was being made in favor Of ariy
taxpayer.
The treasury welcomes any inves-
tixati0n Of the bureau Of internal rev
enuA which has for Its purpose the in
vestigakioa Of conditions with a view
to constructive Suggestions for an Ina
prOvement In the administration Of the
bureau in the interests Of the govern.
