John (.eland Henderson, Inc. TESTING OF FOODVALUES. Scientific Experiments to Deter mine Energy Producing Force.' CEREALS, MEATS, ETC, USED, Tests Conducted by Department of Agriculture on Human Subjects In a Respiration Calorimeter Result Applicable to Coat of Living. Just as the mechanical engineer finds It Important to determine the en ergy producing value of the different kinds of coal tar for engines, so the department of agriculture at Washing ton has concluded It will be worth while to find out what kinds of food are the most valuable to the human system. ' Does a pound of roast beef produce more energy than a pound of nuts or an equal amount of cabbage? Is It better to partake of lard or beef suet than butter? Mow much are fruits worth when It comes to producing force enough to enable a man to swing a pick all day or throw a sledge? If one bad to make up a ration for a set of men au army ration, for instance Just how would one go about to obtain a food allowance that would give the persou using It enough energy to en able him to perform the work expected of blm? Food Expert In Charge. Of these and similar questions the office of experiment stations of the de partment of agriculture is conducting a most interesting and probably val uable series of experiments. Or. C. F. Langwortby is in charge. lie Is bd expert on the subject of food values and Is dehing deeply into this prob lem, one that promises to become more and more important as the cost of liv ing increases. That the data being obtained will be of much value for scientific aod prac tical use there is little or no doubt The instrument that Is being used to experiment on man Is a respiration calorimeter. It was used with success in obtaining Information on the nutri tive value of foods which was utilized in preparing a publication on the use of meats in the home. A million and quarter copies of this work have been distributed. The respiration calorimeter consists of an air tight copper chamber 6 by 6 by 7 feet, so arranged that a man may lire in it in comfort for periods of a few hours to a number of days or even weeks. The copper chamber is surrounded by a zinc wall and an outer protecting wall and is supplied with a current of fresh air. It is fur nished with a bed and other articles for the comfort and convenience of the subject of the experiments. Subjects For Tests Changed Often. Dr. Langwortby does not experiment with a single subject. He has no class, as Dr. Wiley had with his "poison squad," but be changes subjects fre quently and experiments with a num ber. The length of time for which a subject remains In the calorimeter varies. One or more remained in the chamber two weeks. Sometimes a stay of an hour or two Is sufficient to obtain the necessary data. By the method pursued the respira tory products are measured and ana lyzed as well as the food eaten and the energy given off by the body, which Is eventually recovered In the form of heat. With the aid of the factors which can be measured it is possible to study the relative nutritive value of different kinds of food and the re lations of various kinds of food to mus cular work of varying kind and in tensity. In other words, this respira tion and beat measurer permits the investigator to determine the value of food for the body just as an engineer finds out what coal Is best for his en gine. The nutritive value of cheese as an economical article of diet is being studied. It Is also proposed to find out the relative value of butter, lard, beef fat, olive oil and other edible and cull nary fats as sources of energy In the body. The food value of cereal prod ucts and meat and meat products Is being gone into. Other subjects of study relate to the value of fruits and preserves, evaporated fruits and other fruit products, nuts and nut products and vegetables. The respiration calo rimeter is csentlai for the measure ment of factors which are at present imperfectly understood. In Memory of Harriet Beecher Stowe. A movement has been started at Washington for the appropriate cele bration throughout the United States n June 14, 1911, of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe. In honoring the mem ory of the author of "Uncle Tom's Cab in" the Beecher and Stowe families, have heartily concurred. The negroes of the United States will figure promi nently In the celebration. Flowers For Model Tenemente. An Innovation at the opening of the new Bishop Potter model tenements in New York city the other day was that 200 window boxes filled with starlet geriinlums and trailing vines were placed In the many windows of the new house. These boxes were obtained through the New fork city branch of the National I'lant, Flower and Fruit guild. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS FOR WEEKJUST ENDING Furnished ly the Hood Ulver Ab stract Company.

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by consti tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by au inflamed condition of the mu cous llniug of the Eustachian tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing, and when It Is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation cau be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal con dition hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an In fla tiled condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, Ohio.
