VALUE OF
SAUERKRAUT
BY DR.. CIlas. A. L. Reed

Sauerkraut IL not only easily
digested but assists in the d1ges-
ton Of other food materials. It
is a matter Of common knowl-
edge that sauerlxraut is one Of
the most common and Mighty
valued foods Of the Gernanic
Peoples.
, 1t follows without the saying
that in a country so dominated
by the scientific spirit az Ger.
many. every feature of the food
value Of sauerkraut would be re-
duced to the last analysis.
In the first place, the appro.
priation Of sauerkraut is thor.
oughly scientific in that the cab
bage Is really conserved in its
own Juice.
This Juice IL drawn out Of the
cabbage by the action Of per
cent Of common salt which as
scientifically known, has the
power Of attracting water to
itself.
The cabbage thus Talked. sailed
ana packed is kept under pressure
in a temperature Of 81 degrees
Fahrenheit, a little yeast may be
added to start fermentation, but
ordinarily this fermentation is
started by the bacteria that are
already in the cabbage.
The result Of the fermentation
IL to soften the fibers Of the cab
bage and thus render them more
d1gestible by the Juices on the
Gastro-intestinal tract.
In the process Of fermentation
there IL developed q certain
amount Of Tactic acid which IL
first-class disinfectant for the IN.
testines.
With many individuals the taste
for sauerkraut has to be cult
waited, but all persons who. either
have q taste for It from the start
or who have acquired such o
taste. find II very pleasant.
Physicians have found the acid
juice taken by itself very valu.
able for stimulating the appetite
and thus promoting digestion az
well as disinfecting the intestines.
But there is another angle to
the sauerlSraut question that is
not frequently taken into account.
Cabbage is very rich in Vita
mines B that are soluble in water
and which are therefore largely
washed out Of the cabbage by its
Juice that is attracted from the
fibres by the salt. =
This explains why the Juice Of
sauerkraut is very valuable and
ought not to be- thrown away.
Several observers have found
that either sauerlIraut or sauer-
kraut Juice has a wholesome Of.
fect In stimulating the appetite
during hot weather.
Many Germans add a little
milk, or sour cream, or jogurt in
the preparation Of the sauer.

A few days ago I received
q marriage announcement from

times. Is it proper for me to

the gift at that address after

She held up her white arm on

1t hurt I closed my hand tighter

which his jealousy had driven

AS I spoke, the parallel be-

my mind. Bonnie's philandering
Is criminal. It has not ceased

Bonnie has no legal or ethical

friendship with Park. Perhaps
in his Tnind-if he would stop
and use it-Bonnie realizes this.
But because Mabel is Mrs. Buch-
anan, the man who does not
respect his own name thinks he
has a right to shut his wife into
a clustered and lonely seclusion.
