The stuff a man is made of, according to Dr Charles Mayo, the eminent American surgeon, comprises fat enough to make seven bars of soap, iron enough for a medium-sized nail, sugar enough to fill a salt-shaker, and lime enough to whitewash a chicken-coop- There also is phosphorus enough to make the tips of 2200 "matches, magnesium enough for a dose of magnesia, potassium enough to explode a toy cannon, and sulphur enough to rid a dog of fleas. The value is said to be about 4s IJd. Funds are being raised to complete the restoration of the chapel at the Old Palace, Croydon, where Queen Elizabeth sometimes worshipped. Her private pew still exists.
