which are brought about have beeu but
little studied. Pew persons know, for
instance, that in 100 pounds of uncooked
cabbage there are but 7)a pounds of dry

to 8 pounds are lost in the cooking pot.
Experiments with potatoes showed that
lu order to obtain tbe highest food value
potatoes should not be peeled before
oooking; that when potatoes are peeled
before cooking the least loss is sustained
by putting them directly into hot water
and boiling as rapidly ns possible.
Even then tlie loss is very considerable.
If potatoes are peeled and soaked in
cold water before boiling, the loss of
nutrients is very great, being one-fourth
