Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miateilo
Weiners and bologna are thought to be a less expen-
sive source of protein than beef. In fact, the reverse is
true. It takes four 1.5 oz. weiners to equal the amount
of the protein that is in 3 oz. of cooked, lean beef.

White. The offering was received

Shivering is the result of your muscles' contracting to release chemical
energy which produces heat to warm your body. One estimate said that
if all this energy were collected, It could boll a litre of water for one
hour.
Good dietary sources of potassium are bananas but also baked pota-
toes. Potatoes that are baked contain more potassium than boiled pota-
toes because much is lost In the water they are boiled In.
