They are a very important constituent of . our food, differing from all other compounds in their composition, ow- Ing to the presence of nitrogen. The human body is composed of eighteen per cent. protein. Eggs, meat, milk, cereals, peas, beans, lentils are all protein foods. Protein coagulates upon the applica- tion of heat, acid or ferment. Some proteins are entirely soluble in cold 'water. The compounds of protein are divided into three distinct classes, namely: Albumens, gelatinoids, ex- tractives. The white of an egg is the purest for of albumen. It is found in the form of a thick, white, viscuous liquid. Albumen is .also found in meat, as casein in milk. It is in the form of gluten in wheat and cereals and as legumin in peas, beans and lentils.• It dissolves readily in cold water and coagulates upon the application of heat. Gelatinoids. The second class of protein com- pounds are the gelatinoids. Gelatin is found in the connective tissues, which are their leading constituent. It is also found in .!neat; tendons, cartilage and bone; also existing in all bodily tissues. They are a very im- portant element in the body. The en- t tire wall cells contain large propor- tions"of gelatin. It is very import- ant that the manner of cooking food be of such a nature that every particle of this valuable substance be retained Proteins. in in the food. Extractives, The third class of proteins is extrac- tives. This extract is the flavoring which is found in foods. Great care must la taken while cooking foods that nothing impairs this flavor or destroys its value as an important element of nourishment. Extracts are soluble in cold water. Protein is soluble in cold water and coagulates upon the application of heat, so that care and judgment should be used when cooking various protein foods. Meats. Two methods are employed to `cook meat for food, First, where it is the object to ex- tract all the nutriment of the meat -iia - to the liquid or broth, as in soups, meat teas and broths. The meat is cut into small pieces or chopped fine, added to the cold water and brought slowly to boiling point. Then it is placed in a position where it will sim- mer or cook at a temperature of 165 degrees Fahr. This method extracts all the nutriment from the meat. Second, searing or coagulating the surface of the meat. The !meat is put to cook in boiling.water or steam from five to ten minutes and then processed at a simmering temperature, or the surface of the meat is brought in con - act with intense heat for the same purpose, coagulation, or searing the entire surface. It is then processed as directed in the preceding recipe., The second method preserves all the nutritious elements in the meat. 411 Canning Peaches. 'Freestone peaches, give the best re- sults. Albertas and Crawfords are the first choice. Make: a syrupof two pounds of su- gar and five pints of water. Boil this for five minutes, then. cool. Split the peaches in half and remove the (stones.

This method prevents the delicate y�. thsseenearele from „becontieee tneed ; while removing the stones, Dropping the peeled peach into the prepared syrup prevents discoloration.

Spiced Peaches.—Prepare and peel the peaches just the same as for can- ning. Let them stand in the stock syrup while preparing the spiced syrup. Spiced Syrup.—Six sups of sugar, five cups of water, juice of one lemon, Place in a saucepan and stir well un- til dissolved.

To use the stock syrup left after the peaches are ah -in jars: Plaae all the peach peelings in a large preserving kettle and add the stock syrup (the syrup used to lay peaches in while peeling them). Place this on the fire to cook until the pomace is.,very soft. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. Strain and bottle the same as for fruit juice. Or, to four quarts of this juice add quarter peck of apples, washed and cut into small pieces.. Do not peel or core the apples. . Cook until the mixture is soft and then drain as for jelly. Measure the juice and then return it to the kettle. Bring it to a boil and then cook fo five min- utes. Add an equal measure of su- gar. Stir until well dissolved, then boil for eight minutes. Pour into glasses and store as for jellies. Note.—A safe and reliable method of cooking jellies is to use a ther- mometer, Cook to 222 degrees Fahrenheit. a hot day comes.

Total Cost of Three Former Wars is Now Spent in One, Hundred Days. On Friday, August, 3rd, the Great War reached "the Kitchener limit." How much longer is it going on? . Compared with other wars,by length alone, it is by no means a re- cord—yet. But when considering cas- ualties and cost, all other wars pale into insignificance. Take money first. The total cost of the Boer War was £211,000,000; the Franco-German War cost £316,000,000; Russia vs. Japan £174,000,000. The money spent in these three• Wars, if poured into British coffers, would last us about a hundred days. tt As for the loss of life, 22,450 men fell in the whole of the Boer War; 90,000 in the Franco-German; and 55,900 in the Russo-Japanese. What the final figures for the pre- sent resent upheaval will be nobody can say. One wonders whether, when they en- ter into history,they will be .realized, Probably not. Print is cold.. Diet For Hot Days. Many heat •prostrations would more properly be termed "food prostra- tions." Meat is "heating." Protein foods in general—meat, fish, fowl, eggs, etc.— have what is called a "specific dy- namic action"; that is, they stimulate the production of heat,, aside from their regular fuel value. In general, therefore., the quantity of meat eaten shciel.d be somewhat less in summer than in winter. A moderate amount -of lean meat is permissible, or its equivalent in eggs, cheese, milk or other meat substitute. The need of reduction in summer time also applies to the total quan- tity of food intake. There is not so great a heat Ioss from the body in hot weather and, therefore, less fuel is required. Enough food should be taken, . however, to maintain normal weight, endurance and a general feel- ing of well being. - Pastries, cakes, sauces and gravies are good things to- cut out when the hot days came. Hot breads, particu- larly with syrups, are especially liable to' cause trouble. Foods .rich in fats are not only slow of digestion themselves but retard the digestion of other foods taken after ; them. They are high in fuel values and therefore liable to furnish more heat -producing elements than are needed in the hot weather diet:" Foods easy of digestion should be chosen, as the muscular relaxation re- acts on the digestive tract, rendering it necessary to lighten its task. Only a few simple articles should be taken at one meal. --When there is any doubt about the ripeness of fruit, it should be cooked and eaten in moderation. Some ripe fruit is a valuable element in the daily diet, in hot or in cold weather, as it contains materials necessary to the body welfare. Colcl desserts of gelatin, cornstarch and tapioca are generally easy of di- gestion. Even frozen milk or fruit, jeices may be taken, if used in mod- eration and only once or twice a week. Intensely cold beverages should not be gulped down while a person is overheated. Cool beverages, how- ever, take body heat to warm them in the stomach and are, therefore, useful in lowering the temperature, as they carry off the heat when the water is excreted. Hot drinks are sometimes useful in cooling off a person, because they in- duce a perspiration; which increases the heat loss from the body. This device' for losing heat will not work on a:humid day, however, as the per- spiration will not evaporate, and in that case the discomfort from the heat is increased rather than decreased,. Eating habits in cold weather should not be changed abruptly when Tokeep a: steak, chop or any fresh meat without ice from Satuida� instil, Sunder of sifteew side cabbage leaf under and over the, meat, wrap in wax paper and set in a. cool place.

Many are the stories of daring aerial combats as well as equally reckless and foolish "stunts" perform- ed in the air that are coming to this country every week from the great war centres and aviation training schools of Europe. Among the spectacular air combats was that which Robert Mesinger, a noted German air pilot, met his death. According to the Frankfurter Zeitung, the German had shot down four of the allied aviators before he met his own fate, During the fight one of the allied aviator's aeroplanes caught fire, and the latter, realizing that he was unable to escape death, rammed Messinger's machine, with the result that both aviators fell to the earth from a great height. A story is told of an exploit by the wonderful French airman. Guynemer, who has accounted for so many Hun aviators. In this case the daring Frenchman was indulging in a bit of recklessness entirely uncalled for. He was up in the air trying otit a new type of machine and finding that is re- sponded perfectly was ready to alight. Some Wonderful Exploits. He tilted the aeroplane so that it shot toward the earth at terrific speed and at a treacherous angle, aiming for the roof of a hangar. Those who stood by thought he had lost control of the machine and was about to meet his death, but when close to the han- gar he changed his horizontal control and the machine just grazed over the roof. To snake the performance the more spectacular, he concluded by looping the loop when the machine -was clear of the hangar and then landed on the Another youthful, French aviator, ending an acrobatic flight, swooped down so close over the heads of sev- eral aviators who were seated in their aeroplanes, that thei were obliged to crouda to avoid being hit. Such reek- petrator of this foolishness received a The torpecloplane, invented by Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, U.S.N., re- tired, has appealed to the German aviators to the extent that they have adopted or appropriated it, and by clever work have demonstrated that the American naval aerial forces will find it a useful instrument with which to invade German naval and submarine bases.

Used by the Crusaders in the Fight for the Holy Land. The Red Cross has always denoted self-sacrifice and service. It was the emblem of the cross of Christ and was used by the crusaders as they waged war for the possession of the Holy Land. In this early time two great orders were formed, "The Order of the Knight Teinplars" and "The Knight Hospitalers" (or Knights of St. John of Jerusalem), who vowed to live and fight and die at soldiers of "Bon-Opto Ts Hastening the leyeglass- the cross, remaining poor and unmar- less Ago in Bespectacled Boston," vied, like the monks.
