II DOZEN
EGGS TO
EACH man

The Dallas (Tex) News says: There
has been an enormous increase in the de-
mand for fruits and nuts, for FISH and
eggs. for milk and butter and cheese,
for poultry. and for proprietary cereal
foods.
Fifty years ago the only cereal food
known, besides the products OF wheat and
rye -four and cornmeal, was oatmeal, and
that was imported and was rare and cost
ly. Now no breakfast table Is without
some form OF mush or grits
A thorough investigation OF the sub
feet shows that Americans eat S per cent
less meat per capita than % years ago.
But We eat more wheat poultry, eggs and
cheese In 1850 our consumption OF eggs
was go dozen for each 100 persons.
Now IL IL 100 dozeH for each 100. We
eat II dozen apiece. and the hen has as
sumed an important place In economics.
In 1850 We consumed 43O bushels OF wheat
for each 100 persons.
Now the consumption IL 623 bushels for
the same number Corn and potatoes show
a similar increase. while I'm 40 years the
consumption OF oats as human food has
creased fourfold.
one Of the most notable changes Of
diet is that IN favor OF fruits. They are
used the year around. They are fine
either fresh from the trees or cooked. and
are kept dried. evaporated canned or pre-
served the year around.
There In no more wholesome or pala-
table dish for the supper table than a
properly selected and prepared dish "
stewed peaches or apples. The banana
has gained continually FOR tho last 20
years. our bananas now cost us sScoo,ooO
IA wear
