X Eighth Lesson Proteins are necessary foç. body building .and repairing waste tissue. They are a very important constituent of our food, differing from all other compounds in their composition, owing owing to the presence of nitrogen. The human body is composed of eighteen per cent, protein. Eggs," meat - ,: milk, "cereals, peas, oeans, lentils are all protein foods- Proteiri coagulates upon the application application of heat, acid or ferment. Some proteins are*- entirely soluble in cold water. The compounds of protein are divide^ 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 cla^i of protein compounds compounds are the gelatinoids. Gelatin is found in the connective tissues, which are their leading constituent. It is also found in meat; tendons, cartilage and bone; also existing in all bodily tissues. They are a very important important element in the body. The entire entire wall .cells contain large proportions proportions of gelatin. It is very important important that the manner of cooking food be of such a nature that every particle of this valuable substance be retained -Proteins. in the food._ Extractives. The third class of proteins is extractives. extractives. This extract is the flavoring which is found in foods. Great care must l e 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 J Protein is soluble ijj 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 extract extract all the nutriment of the meat into into 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 'simmer 'simmer 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 contact contact with intense heat for thé 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. Enter the Canning Peaches.

P IMPLES and skin eruptions always seem to come where they are the most noticeable, and consequently most embarrassing to the person so unfortunate as to have them. The most satisfactory treatment for pimples and skin eruptions is Dr. Chase's Ointment, applied at night after bathing the skin in warm water. Instead of clogging the pores, as do powders, Dr. Chase's Ointment cleanses them and promotes the healthy action of . the pores of the skin. By its antiseptic action this ointment destroys poisonous germs, and thereby prevents the development of eczema. Théi'è are scores of ways in which Dr. Chase's Ointment is useful in every home. - PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS. Miss Carrie Altwater, Bittern Lake, Alta., writes :--"I was entirely cured of pimples a-ad blackheads some months ago by using Dr. Chase's Ointment.

SHAKESPEARE IN GERMANY. Hun Newspapers Boast Love of Great English Dramatist." German newspapers announce with considerable pride that, despite all the bitterness of the war, the plays of Shakespeare receive first place in the theatres of Germany. Despite the fact that England has barred Wagner's Wagner's music and France has torn German German paintings from the walls of the Louvre and Italy has desecrated the Goethe Memorial, Germany looks upon art as sacred and in its cities are heard the works of Gounod, Bizet, Molière, Molière, Puccini and Verdi; also George Bernard Shaw-and Leo Tolstoi. Of "294 performances given in the Frankfort theatre, 1916-1917, fifty- five were devoted to the works of Shakespeare, only thirteen to Schiller and twelve to Goethe. In Frankfort, Shakespeare is revered even more than Ooet 1 \ and throughout Germany during s war Shakespeare's plays are produced in larger numbers even than in England. The German newspapers explain that in art no nationality is taken into account. Shakespeare is regarded in Germany not as an Englishman, but as one of the world's greatest poets and dramatists. Germans look upon Shakespelare almost as their own flesh and blood, they declare. From Greece to Belgium. King Alexander, the King of Greece, has sent the following remarkable remarkable telegram to the King of the Belgians: "On the occasion of Belgian Independence Day, I beg your Majesty to accept the hearty wishes of my people people and myself for the triumph of the cause of justice and right, for which Greece is proud to fight at the side of her Allies, assuring your noble and heroic jeonle the fullest -reparation for the unjust sufferings they continue to bear with courage and patience, which rightly merit for them the sympathy sympathy and admiration of the civilized world."
