Analyzing Waste Food.

America leads all other nations to analyzing the value of the foods we eat and the best way to make them nourish us. Scientists have found that we often get little of the real value of our foods so that a great deal goes to waste. It Is exactly as if we took just one squeeze out of a juicy orange and then threw it away. The new sci* ence has been developed largely since the outbreak of the war. Many interestlng experiments have been carried on in Teachers’ college In New York which are being watched by scientists all over the world. Some tests are made with white rats, others with hu* man beings. The war department has utilized this Infqrmation In flx-f ing the rations for our soldiers. In al few years people will look back upon our wasteful, unscientific habits of to* day with amazemenj.—Boys’ Life.
