Nutritious Foods,

Prof. Atwater, who has devoted
himself to the study for number of
years, declares that there is no single
perfect food, the nearest approach to
it being milk, says What to Eat No
food, however. contains the essential
condiments in right proportions. and
thus we have to get what we want by
combining our foods. 1t will be a great
shock to many thrifty housewives TO
learn that beef and eggs are among
the greatest of all econor ic mis- AXES.
A single dollar spent in wheat -four
will weld as much nut1 ton us $50
spent on sirloin of beef. Sugar ranks
next to wheat -four as an economical
food, for a dollars worth of sugar con-
tains as much nutriment as six dollars
worth of milk, Sl2 worth of eggs. or
$40 wolhh of oysters. In proportion to
their cost, oysters are almost the least
nutritious of all foods. Beans and
potatoes run close race for he third
place among valuable and cheap foods,
and the fourth place is shared between
fat, salt pork and cheese made from
skinned milk.

PICTURE BUYERS WARNED.
Noted COunterfeiters of Paintings
Are Hard Mt Their Shady Work
in Europe.

In anticipation of the rush of half
informed picture buyers at the Paris
exposition the counterfeiters of paint
ings by well-known artists are. hard
1t work. Mr. Thurber. of this city. re-
ports the Chicago Chronicle. has been
notified by correspondent in Amster-
dam that that city and also Brussels is
full of spurious old masters. and the
case is instanced of a picture that was
soN year ago which has turned up
again bearing the name of more
famous painter than its author and
priced accordingly. From another
source it is reported that two of the
most famous falsifiers of pictures in
Europe are rushed with orders for
their specialties.
The London picture factories are
turning out old English paintings by
the dozen. Everything that will bring
a good price is being counterfeited.
They are principally sent to Paris.
where shady dealers are quick to pick
them up, but not a few are sent to
America.
The dealers who do not scruple to
forward this dishonest traffic dc not
as a rule sell the pictures themselves,
out they are peddled about by ire
sponsible but glib and well-dressed
persons, who always tell the same
story. The picture belongs to some
private owner who is pressed for
money, but who desires to avoid pub
licity. For this reason his name can
not be given. He could sell to deal
er, but the dealer would want to make
too much profit. He would want to
pay $1,000 and charge $4,000. The
owner prefers to sell to a collector of
taste and Judgment for $4,000. He
will even, being in straits for cash, take
$4,000. Finally. after much parley, the
picture is sold for 5000. and the new
owner congratulates himself on hav-
ing obtained masterpiece by a famous
painter for one-third its value. This is
sample case, though the figures are
usually smaller. 1t is easy to give
a painting the look of age. 1t is only
to mix dirt with the paints and with
the varnish. Bad varnish dried quick
ly produces deep cracks, and these
can be made to appear old cracks by
putting another coat of varnish over
them. There is a sure way of avoid
ing being caught by such tricks; it is
to buy of responsible dealer and pay
the actual value of the work.
