WILLIAM BRADY Bread Versus Meat. Dr. Brady will answer fetters relating to health. Address htm care of The Eagle and enrlos CAN' one get as much energy, strength, endurance or staying power or work or play out of bread as one can get out of meat? How does bread compare with meat as food? Will bread sustain a man at hard physical work as well as treat does? Can a child get as good building material from bread as from meat? Is bread or meat the mor.i valuable food if the family can have either but not both? Can a man work as well on a bread diet as he can on meat? In short who. if anybody, should worry If all the butchers went out on strike? Let us size the two klndj of food up from several angles and see how they compare.

White bread, according to 198 analyses, In each hundred parts, 35.3 parts of water, 9.2 parts of protein. l.S parts of fat, 53.1 parts of carbohydrate (starch and sugar) and l.l parts of mineral matter, and has a fuel value of 1.216 calories per pound. Round steak, according to 54 analyses, contains In 100 parts 8.5 parts of unedlble refuse, 62.5 parts of water, 18 8 parts of protein, 9.2 parts of fat, no carbohydrates and 1.2 parts of mineral matter, and has a fuel value of 745 calories per pound. The protein (nitrogenous or albuminous part) Is the building mate rial. There is enough protein in half a pound of white nread to furnlsn the minimum essential requlremem In that material for a strong man for one day, according to the findings or Hindnede.

the great Danish nu tntion authority. Hlndhede found by actual experiments on men (not rats, guinea pigs or other animals) that 20 grams of protein per diem in a bread diet is sufficient for a man. In this country it has been commonly assumed, from experiments made upon the lower animals, that man requires a minimum dally protein ration of about 80 grams. (An ounce Is equivalent to about 30 grams). The quantity of protein in meat is about twice that in bread.

In this country Is has been assumed that the protein of meat Is more complete and more suitable for the needs of man than the protein of bread, an assumption based upon questionable deductions from experiments upon other aotmals than man. Hlndhede. ster careful experiments upon men, insists that the protein of bread and that of potatoes, snd that of milk and that of meat, has the same biological value; that Is, the protein from any of these sources will fully supply tho needs of man. Meat contains more fat than bread, but fat is not indispensable in the diet' of a healthy man. Meat cor-tatnslno carbohydrate material, and that Is essentia in the diet ot a man.

Banram overlooked no Ba eooaht to aid on artist and exhibited hit work, bat tha nrtM quit when people Ignored him to bo mauled and crnabed In trying to a look at Tom Thumb and other attraction. He determines to engage Jennr Llnd for an American tour and stages a great reception for her noon bar antral In America. The crowds continued outside the Irving House all day and every time shadow passed before Jenny Ltnd's window or what the crowd chose as her window, enthusiastic cheers arrested it. At 12:30 that night the New York Musical Fund Society, which had been preparing for this occasion for three weeks, began an Instrumental serenade. The musl- clans were escorted by S00 firemen in red shirts, bearing lighted torches.

More than 20,000 people watched listened and cheered. Broadway was completely blocked and the 800 tpluttering torches revealed figures on the roofs, in the neighboring win dows, and hanging to lampposts and awning frames. Barnum led Jenny Llnd to one of the hotel bal conies after the loud demands for her presence threatened to drown the music of the serenade. He asked the musicians to play "Yankee Doo die" and "Hall Columbia," and Jen By Llnd with admirable tact encored both those songs. The crowd cheered tnadly and she repeatedly waved her handkerchief.

At 1:15 the music was finished and she tried to go to bed, but the crowd was not yet ready for bed George Loder, head of the Musical Fund Soqlety, made a speech of welcome which, by common agreement, was mucMoo long. One of the news. paper crrrespthdents intimated thtt the serenade and the speech were offered in the hope that Jenny Llnd would return the compliment by gtv Ing a benefit performance for the New York Musical Fund Society, The New York correspondent the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch reported the following conversation Which he gathered in the crowd: "Sa-ay, Joe, don't you think Bar-num'll make a lose? Thousand dol lars a night's a big pile, and slngln' isn't dancln': Fanny Elssler was the gal for my money. "Qh; shut up! What the do we know about slngln'?" "I'll go in for her, too: but thought she was one of Barnum's hums, for I heered he said he didn't care If she hadn't no more voice than a crow, he knowed wed all swear she sung like an angel, If it cost us 1 10 to say we neerea ner, You know the time he showed the horse with his tall where his head ought to be?

"Well, there ain't no use of your talkln', Pete; Barnum knows what he's about. Why, s'pose he did lose $50,000 by her.

he'd more an make It up in the Museum. The glory of the thing's what he looks at." Excitement Unabated. But it did not look as If Barnum would lose his $50,000. The excitement kept up unabated for weeks. The small girl, Julia Knapp, writing to her cousin Susan in Greenwich, said: "They call her the new Messiah; we will send you a paper all about her.

I suppose you have heard of Dr. Webster; he was hung Friday last." Not only the common people besieged Jenny Llnd. The Mayor called upon her at her rooms, and she was vlsitea all day and part of the by people who used various claims to distinction as cards of admission to her private suite. Milliners, tailors and lurnlture dealers sent her articles which they had manufac tured and named for her; they were grateful for her autograph in return. Water carafes with her face and name were sold.

Songs and poems were dedicated to her, dances were named after her, and she conquered the kingdom of man when a cigar was called the Jenny Llnd. Crowds gathered outside the hotel to watch her enter or leave. Society called in large contingents and Barnum was fearful that the haut ton of Bleecker t. would monopolize his prize and thus make her repui-pent to the mnsscs. tor he realized that he was not in England with Gen.

Tom Thumb. But her reputation for kindness and simplicity won the admiration of the people, and ehopkeeers continued to send gloves, hats, shawls, chairs and gowns. On the day after her arrival in NVw York all the morning newspapers devoted their first pnges to the prima donna. The New York Tribune printed four columns on the firs: page concerning her reception, and a poem with 52 footnotes explaining Its Scandinavian allegorical allusions. The other newsspers gave her the same amount of spape and the interest in her wss maintained at the same high pitch during her entire stay In New York.

On the after her arrival. Bar num and Jenny Llnd vlrtted together with Benedict and Bellettl all tin public halls In New York to choose" a place ror ner nrat concerts. The sky was cloudy and rain was falling, but eager spectators were out in large numbers and followed the party from amusement hall to amusement hnll so that a contemporary was able to describe the tour of in. spectlon as a royal procession. Many Birthday Character Reading August 4.

The Borden Mystery. N' OT even excepting the famous Elwell case, the disappearance of Dorothy Arnold and the Burdell murder, the Borden mystery is probably the most unusual crime of its kind in the criminal annals of the United States both on account of the way in which the murders were committee and the apparent impossibility of the time element which entered into the case. On the morning or August V-1892, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J.

Borden, wealtiy residents of Fall River, were found murdered In their home, Mra Borden In a guest room upstairs and her husband in a room on the ground floor. The only other known occupants of the house at the time were Bridget Sullivan, a maid, and Lizzie Borden, daughter of the murdered man by his first wife. Several days before the crime, both Mr. and Mrs. Borden were taken violently ill and their daughter complained to a neighbor that she feared enemies of the family were trying to poison her father and stepmother.

On the morning of August Bridget Sulllvsn also complained of nausea and retired to her room for an hour or so. Upon coming downstairs about 9:80 she was told by Mrs. Borden to wash some windows on the first floor, the mistress of the house saying that she would attend to the arrangement of the guest room. This was the, last time that Mrs. Borden was seen alive.

Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Bor den returned from town and was teen to go upstairs to his room which did not communicate with the front part 'of the house containing the guest room. Shortly before noon Miss Borden discovered the body of her father In the parlor on the first floor, although no one, had heard him come downstairs and, In order for him to do so, It would have been necessary for him to pass through the kitchen where Bridget Sullivan Was at work. The body of Mrs. Borden, literally chopped to pieces with some hatchet-llke instrument, was found In the room on the second floor, though neither Bridget Sullivan nor Mies Borden had heard the slightest sound from this part of the house.

Though there was no evidence whatever against her Miss Borden was arrested but acquitted on the first ballot, the prosecution having utterly failed to answer any of the principal questions connected with the case: How had the murder of Mrs. Borden been effected without the slightest sound reaching the ears of Bridget Sullivan? How had Mr. Borden traversed the distance between his room and the parlor where his body was found without being seen by the maid? How, also, had he been killed without arousing the neighborhood? How had Miss Borden, if she were guilty, done away with her bloodstained clothing? And, Anally, bow could It have been possible for anyone else to have entered the house, to have committed the crimes and escape without being seen? These and a multitude of other question connected with this most remarkable case are all still unanswered. Tomorrow The Robbery of North of England Bank. the Memory Test CAN IOC ANSWER THESE? 1.

B. Trlpler, a zu-year-old speculator, Duiit a hell which he Intended to name for Jenny Lind, and which was to be used for her concerts in New York, but It was not finished in time. Therefore, Barnum, with the appro val of Jenny Lind and Julius Benedict, chose Castle Garden, the largest place of amusement in the city. for her first concerts. Barnum now realised that his audiences would be larger than even he had hoped, and he accordingly hired the largest avails me nan and made arrange ments for its alteration In order to provide more seating capacity and Increased standing room.

Barnum wrote in his autoblogra phy; "On the Tuesday after her arrival I informed Miss Lind that I wished to make a slight alteration in our agreement. 'What is (he asked In surprise. 'I am I replied, 'that our enterprise will be much more successful than either of us anticipated. I wish, therefore, to stipulate that you shall always receive $1,000 for each concert besides all the expenses as heretofore agreed on, and that after taking $5,500 par night for expenses and my services, the balance shall be equally divided between Jenny looked at me with astonishment. She could not corrtprehend my proposition.

After I had repeated it, and ane runy under stood its Import, she grasped me cor dially Dy the hand and exciaimel, 'Mr. Barnum, you ara a gentleman of honor. You are generous. It Is lust as Mr. Bates told me.

I will sing for you as long as you pleas' will sing for you In America in Europe Here we have a picture of such exceptional magnanimity on one side, and on the other such Joyous gratitude it is a pity that it is untrue. Concerning this change In the con tract Barnum was frank enough to add this warning In his autoblo graphical account of the incident "Let it be not supposed that the increase In her compensation was wholly an act of generosity on my part. I had become convinced that there was money enough In the enterprise for all of us, and I also felt that although sho should have been satisfied by my complying with the terms of the agreement, yet envious persons would doubtless endeavor to create discontent in her mind, ana It would be stroke of policy to pre. vent the possibility of such an occur. rence." This attitude is one which Barnum afterward dubbed "profit able philanthropy" in speaking of Ills own charitable endeavors, and we could admire his foresight and his compassion if other mn books did not make -him out to be inaccurate, to say the least.

Wonderfully Substantial For" An Angel. Maunsell B. Field, whose "MmO rles of Many Men and Some Women' has already been quoted In another connection, played an Important part In the negotiations between Barnum and Jenny Llnd. He was a member of the law firm of Jay Field and Jenny Llnd when she first came to New York presented a letter' of introduction to John Jay, Field's partner. Jay was In Europe, and when.

Jenny Llnd learned this, sho asked Field to visit her at the Irv ing House as she had urgent business for him. "Upon my arrival," wrote Field, "I mentioned whom I desired to see, and was at once accosted by a stranger who Introduced himself to me as Mr. Barnum. He offered to accompany me to Miss Llnd's draw- ingroom and I followed him upstairs, On the way he turned to me and said, 'I am going to introduce you to an angel, sir to an angel! While they "were waiting for Jenny Llnd to appear, Barnum poured ceaseless nralses of her into news car When she finally did appear, Field noted that she looked "wonderfully substantial for an angel. According to Field.

Jenny Llnd had left for America without any formal contract with Barnum, but merely on the strength of a memorandum executed by his agent. She wanted Field's advice In drawing up formal contract, and Barnum Jenny Lind and Field sat down to gether and discussed terms. Field ex ecuted the contract and It was signed the next day by Barnum and Jenny Lind. He did not state the terms of the contract but he wrote: "After a time Miss Llnd became dissatisfied with her contract, and I was sent for, to revise it. Mr.

Barnum made the required concessions. Again and again Miss Llnd desired ehaniros made In the contract to no own advantage, and every time Mr. Barnum yielded. Whatever his mo live, he was moat obliging nnd com rlalsant and although I have neve since met him, I have alwavs es teemed him for the good-nature nnd liberality which he exhibited at this time in nis nusincss reiauona wit; Miss Llnd. I believe that she re celved every farthing that belonged lo her and that he treated her with the most scrupulous honor.

Once upon a time, dear children, there was an eel, named Eeliza, who was quite stuck on her figure. And well she might be, for she had the straight front which all the girl eels In her set hankered for and she had practically no hips to speak of.

And besides she was slim and graceful when she strolled along, and when she danced, all1 her boy eat friends forgot to go home for days and days. But, alas, dear-children, Eeliza lpved to eat ice cream and chocolate candy and pastries of all kinds, and as If that wasn't bad enough she hated to take any exercise. So of course she began to get fatter and fatter. And life for her soon became Just one chin after another. Poor, poor Eeliza Eel.

All her boy friends began to go home nights right after work, and nobody took her out any more and fat eelessea would point to her and say in a whisper you could barely hear in the next block, "Well, thank the Lord I'm not as fat as her, anyway." And she grew fatter and latter. She tried everything except laying off eating the things that were making her fat, but, alas, the only result three more chins. One day she noticed somebody sitting In her lap. She looked closer and then screamed. It was herself.

The next day poor Eeliza Eel heard about those records that re. duce you to music. She bought a set and tried 'em. One of them she Just loved. It was the darllngest exercise for reducing the waistline and it was set to the jazziest tune you ever heard.

Eeliza played it over nnd over, going through all the motions witn enthusiasm. All day she played It and all night. She got so Infatu ated with the tune she couldn't stop. And soon her waistline began to shrink, smaller and smaller, as she played the record faster and faster. This kept foe- weeks, dear children, until one day the neighbors, who had gone nearly nuts listening to this same tune, noticed it had stopped.

They listened intently for three days but couldn't hear a sound. Finally the police broke Into Eeliza Eel's flat, and what do you suppose they found? Eeliza Eel had kept on madly reducing her waist until she reduced It all away. There in the middle of the rug lay the mortal remains of Eeliza Eel In two parts. There was no life In either of them. Eeliza Eel was a total loss.

And that's the end of the story. Gwan to bed. FROM THE 75 YEARS AGO. Al.PKN 8POONER, PBINTKR, Son. 7 Fl'LTON nnd IS JAMKS STS BROOK.
