Monday ; Before Mr. W. A. Guess . ALMELEY LABOURER'S DEATH FROM BURNS . INQUEST AT WEOBLEY . The District Coroner ( Mr. C. E. A. Moore ) conducted an inquest at Weobley Union Work- house on Monday , on the body of George Stokes , aged 75 , an agricultural labourer , of The Batch , Almeley , who died in the infirmary on February 23rd , after receiving severe burns at his home two days before . The Vicar ( the Rev. E. H. Beattie ) was the foreman of the jury . FOOD , AND HOW TO SAVE IT . A series of short Articles written at the re- quest of the Food Controller by E. I. SPRIGGS , M.D. , F.R.C.P. II . WHAT FOOD IS .- ( Continued ) . The three kinds of foodstuff - protein , car- bohydrate and fat now claim our attention .. It will be remembered from the last article True Economy It is to your advantage to that we need food for two purposes to pro - place your orders for clothes vide energy for warmth and muscular activity , and to provide material to replace our losses . Protein . The living part of our bodies , and well ahead of your require- of all animals and plants , contains protein . It differs from other foodstuffs in being partly ments . formed of nitrogen . Nitrogen is part of all live matter ; there is plenty of it in the air , and in the earth , but in forms which we can- not use . It is the plant which takes it from the earth and the air , and builds it up into protein ; the animal eats the protein of the plant , and so obtains its necessary nitrogen . We see then that protein is essential . We must have it . We die if we do not get it . It is requisite for repair and growth . But that is not all , for protein not only re- 3 REASONS . I. Prices are advancing rapidly , not only of Cloth but of Linings and the many sundries used in the making of Clothes . II . Owing to the high prices and places the daily loss of nitrogen but it also scarcity of pure Botany Wool Yarns , does its share towards providing energy . manufacturers are adulterating their Many foods contain protein . Those which products with lower grade wools and contain enough of it to be of value in the diet mixtures - therefore new goods although are the following : - Percentage more expensive are inferior . of Protein . FOOD . Cheese 25 Beans , peas and lentils ( dried ) 24 Meat Oatmeal 15 to 20 15 Fish Wheat flour Barley meal . Bread Peas and beans ( fresh shelled ) Nuts Milk III . Labour being scarce makes it difficult to cope with orders in the busy season so promptly as usual , obviously , 10 to 15 early orders secure best attention . 25 . 11 10 8 7 6 4 . The most important protein foods in daily . life are meat , fish , cheese , bread and milk . Other foods which contain a good deal of pro- tein are peas and beans , oatmeal , barleymeal and nuts . It is easy to see why cheese , as mentioned in the first article , can replace meat in the diet .. There are several foods which can do the same . We could , indeed , do with out meat , though we are not asked to do so .. There is , however , no need for any healthy person to eat meat more than once a day . The amount of protein which a man should that is three and a half ounces . have in his food is about 100 grammes per day , When we are a little further into our subject we shall , see how much of the common foods it takes to give that quantity . It may be said here that so many of the foods we eat contain protein that if a man gets enough food he generally gets enough protein . It is only when he is obliged to live entirely on foods containing very little protein , such as prepared rice , that his diet is deficient in that respect .

ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCES . Mary Price , address not given , was brought up in custody charged with obtaining 5s . by false pretences from Mr. R. Lewis , of Kerieth , West Hill , Bromyard , on Thursday . Prisoner called and asked to see Miss Moore ,, who is a paying guest at Mr. Lewis's . said she told a remarkable story of how , driv- ing from Malvern to Bromyard , she met with an accident at Suckley . The few shillings she had in her pocket at the time she had given the boy to take the pony back to Malvern , while she , having friends in Bromyard , walked on there in the hope that they would lend her money to get back . She gave her name Mrs. Bomford , of Cornforth Hall , near Upton Snodsbury . Having heard Miss Moore mention the name of Bomford as that of people she knew , he lent her 5s . on the promise that she would return it on the Saturday . The money not being forthcoming he acquainted the police , with the result that the woman was arrested on Sunday last at Knightwick . The as This being the adjourned . Licensing Session the case of the license of the Dukes Arms came up for renewal and in answer to the Chair- man Mr. Arthur Garrod , the landlord , stated that the hole in the wall of the passage had been closed up , and the Chief Constable ( Mr. Richard Jones ) stated that this was satisfac- tory , and the license was therefore renewed .
