Here is where his grandfather, General Philip Benner, located as ¢ arly as 1790, who at one time was considered one of the wealthiest men in Pennsylvania, He owned thirty-two farms in addition to a charcoal furnace, rolling’ mill, forge, grist mill and saw mill, the latter being among the first industries in the county. He, at that time, took his iron on pack horses to Pittsburg. At the close of General Benner's life Mr. Waddle was about 14 years of age, and for sometime was employed in the industries of that vicinity, As he grew to manhood he be came one of the most prominent citizens of the county.

The market price of fish is not al ways a true Indication of its economic | value in | authority, | ness to its the familly dietary, says an Supply and demand, near. market, and many Benson amount of waste Involved In dressing the fish and the amount of nutrition that It contains measure its value, For example, cod usually costs about half as much as salmon, but f(t talas little more than a third as much nutrition. Besides, the waste in dress. ing the salmon 1s very little, while the waste from the cod is relatively large. The result is that in the end, all things considered, salmon is less expensive than cod, The waste In skin and bone 1s great In most fish in cod 6 per cent, in haddock 85 per cent, If the same price were paid for a salmon and cod 052 per cent of nutrition would be obtained from the salmon and 19 from the cod. There is a large percentage of water in the composition of fish—from 50 to 75 per cent on the average. Salt cod contains 67 per cent of water, haddock 40 per cent, oysters 77 per cent, Com- pared with meat, fish contains much more gelatin and fewer extractives, That Is, bolling Is the most expensive and the least attractive way of cook ing fish, the 8 In and fla vor in bol ng bel: BE ET | a t re ea f } f ¥ Long i ‘ i r. are 1] F } - [10] re 1 f } h PF | ’ f r Pt dig dark fles} alt n | } e per | ENE f } ) p a" 5 y es abe in }) 1 1 ] ine ’ ) ing f ng The a brain food ‘ r ‘ | ith- out f b net ot V ©1 ‘ ’ » } Oe ‘ \ 5 { - oN, NY s ’ of \ wl & Wl y fis! f1 , re t the gl ‘ A a rr les d i" ve should be f bolled. the lob ier k % [ t the bods _ . 4 vol ’ ¥ . ta [ # 1 t 1a n : i IR it ‘ ¢ f a fs) deg { 4 na tore a fo was ty ' ter of 1 A Place of Safety.
