Use of Protein---Rich Foods mn Cookery | Health and Happiness, Number 51 From Farmers Bulletin 824, “Foods Rich in Protein,” United States Department of Agriculture. The Value of a Nut Crop. Scientists have made known to us the nutritive value of nuts, and food experts have advised them as a sub- stitute for meats. In simpler days, says the Detroit Free Press, the bag of hickory nuts was a part of the win- ter’s store and its contents an accom- paniment of the apples served to the evening’s passing guests. The black walnut and butternut trees that were split into fence rails by the pioneers | of southern Michigan are still lament- ed by their descendants; they would be worth “big money” now, but had! | to make way for the crops that must occupy the land. It is not generally known that prior to the war the United States import- ed about $13,000,000 worth of nuts every year, although nut-growing has become a growing industry in several States. English walnuts, pecans and peanuts are the kinds we grow com- ' are good reasons why America should 1 butter, peanut oil, peanut candy, salt- | ed peanuts grow in favor yearly. The highest priced nuts came from France, previous to the war, from a section which has been ravished by the war, the trees cut for trench build- ing or destroyed in wantonness. There supply her own market with nuts, and it is a growing market, witha con- stantly advancing price. The crop is not perishable, and, since our meat suppy is lessening, eventually there will be money in it. Why do we not see to it that our state highways, the great arteries of interior travel which absorb so much of our farm land, are planted with nut trees, which would not only beautify them, but also increase the wealth of the community? Just a little endeav- or on the part of the individual far- mer would not only preserve them on his premises. We must learn to sup- ply our own needs, in every particu- The Potter-Hoy H’d’w Co.

Fig. 7—Meal containing the same amount of protein as that in figure 6, but partly from one chop and partly from eggs and milk used in soup, custard, and sponge cake. This meal includes the same quantities of bread and butter and of vegetables as in figure 6. Only one chop is used, but the protein (2nd also the energy) thus lost is made good by using a milk soup in place of the clear soup, and serving baked custard and sponge cake instead of fruit and frosted cake for dessert. Protein usually is introduced into meals in two ways: First, by means of dishes made up principally of a protein-rich food such as meat, milk, or eggs, and, second, by dishes or combinations in which a small proportion of protein-rich food is used with materials from other food groups, as when milk and eggs are used in the preparation of soups, vegetables, cakes, etc.; when cheese is served with pie or other dessert; or when nuts are served as dessert, are used in making bread, cakes, or puddings, or are added to salads. Most people realize that they are introducing considerable protein into their meals by the use of meat, fish, beans, etc. Few realize, however, how large an amount is introduced in small quantities by means of soup or dessert. “ This is shown by figures 6 and 7, representing meals which furnish equal amounts of protein. That in figure 6 consists of clear soup, bread and butter, two pork chops, potato and tomato, pineapple, and frosted cakes of the so- i called butter-cake type. The meal in figure 7 includes the same quantities of bread and butter and of vegetables. Only one chop is used, but the protein | | 1st—Their effect on prices; 2nd — As a return to investors. When profits are small as compared with sales, they have little effect on prices. Swift & Company’s profits are only a fraction of a cent per pound on all products sold, and if eliminated entirely would have practically no effect on prices.

(and also the energy) thus lost is made good by using a milk soup in place of the clear soup, and serving baked custard and sponge cake instead of fruit and frosted cake for dessert. Other ways of introducing the same quantity of protein by material of different kinds can easily be found. For example, in a breakfast of 2 eggs and 3 ounces of toast (yielding as much protein as 2 ounces of uncooked cereal), with fruit, butter, and sugar, the eggs would provide the greater part of the protein. If for the two eggs there were substituted 2 cups, or 1 pint, of milk, the meal would provide just as much protein. The milk might be served as a beverage or on a cereal breakfast food; or be used in making such dishes as cereal mush, muffins, corn bread, or milk gravy. In this case protein equal to that in two eggs might be distributed through several dishes. | In 2 lunch consisting of 4 ounces of fish, with bread and butter, a salad I of fresh vegetables, and boiled rice and honey for dessert, the greater part of I the protein would be supplied by the fish. If 2 ounces of ordinary cheese or | one-fourth cup of cottage cheese were substituted for the fish, and a cup of custard (4 ounces) were substituted for the fruit, the lunch would supply just | as much protein. | In a dinner consisting of 4 ounces of roast beef, with bread and butter, vegetables cooked without the addition of milk or other protein-rich food, and a fruit pudding for dessert, the greater part of the protein would be supplied by the meat. If a soup made from 1 ounce of dried beans were served, one- | | 3 SEER ELE El El El Elle Elle Cl Ele ElElUcUSUSUSUSLE Swift & Company paid 10 i per cent dividends to over 20,000 i stockholders out of its 1917 profits. .

It is funny, though, that both sun- stroke and heat exhaustion may be caused by the very same thing—work- ing too hard on very warm days or in very hot rooms and walking in the sun without either parasol or hat. In sunstroke the face is very red and the skin dry and hot, but in heat exhaustion the face is pale and cov- ered with a cold sweat. You can First Aid Lessons BOYS and GIRLS “| lants” we know about)!

JANSON’S Port Arthur, Texas, is begin- ning a campaign to turn itself into a city of palms. Trees of uniform spe- cies are to be systematically planted on all the streets and boulevards; the School Board will co-operate in lay- ing out the school grounds with walks and palms; and the railroads will help by planting palms in their train yards and around their property generally. Tt is a delightful, but not a new, scheme in town improvements. Lon- don has for years been planting palm trees in its streets, and there are cer- tain other English towns, like East- bourne, which have their own partic- ular variety of tree. Salt Lake City, Utah, made a specialty years ago, of Lombardy poplars, but thereby hangs a tale. At the time of their planting, Brigham Young was a nurseryman with an overabundant supply of these tall and graceful trees in stock. So an ordinance was adopted authorizing the planting of the city with them. And now Salt Lake City and its en- virons reproduce something of the quaint charm of France, or Northern Italy. A suggestion for enthusiastic civic workers looking to the future of their town. “Chocolates PERFUMES FINE LINE TOILET ARTICLES AND SUNDRIES Green’s Pharmacy Co., ws The largest and oldest Drug Store in Centre County \ \WhTROUE 830% ING., BALTINGAR #0), Delightfully Cool OT to have worn a Palm Beach suit for hot weather is not to have enjoyed one of the least expensive luxuries of summer attire. !
