Little Iron in Spinach.

Berlin.—There is a notion among physicians as well as toymen that spinach is the vegetable which is richest in iron. This Idea is erroneous, says Prof. Haenset, a German scientist who has completed a series of experiments showing that it Is cabbage lettuce which contains the greatest amount of Iron, while spinach comes lowest in the list Professor Haensel maintains that imtatoes are more ferruginous than spinach. Food specialists say the human body requires dally a quantity of iron, estimated at three-quarters of a milligram.
