CHARTS On
COST OF LIVING
Department Of Agriculture Makes
Exhaustive Study
COST Is ONLY ONE
DOLLAR PER SET

Washington, Sept. 2i.-The re-
cent wide spread discussion of
the high cost Of living has arous-
ed great interest in all phases Of

Of Agriculture on all subjects re-
lating to food and nutrition.
The Department has recently
issued q set of charts on the COM
position of food materials: these

Autographs in six colors, and
show in the case of each material
the protein, fat, carbohydrate,
ash, and contents and the fuel
value expressed in calories. The
percentage composition and fuel
value are given in figures and
the relative proportion of each
constituent Is represented graph
ically. For example, in the
case of whole milk a glass of
milk is shown; 81 per cent of the
figure is colOred green to repre-
sent the water contents, 3.3 per
cent red to representthe protein,
1 per cent yellow to represent
the fat, 5 per cent blue to repre-
sent the carbohydrates, and OF
per cent drab to represent the
ash content. The fuel value of
80 calories per pound is repre-
sented by printing in solid black
nearly one-third of a square one
inch on each edge. since one
square inch represents 1000 Ca
lories. The figures given for the
percentage composition of the
various materials are average
figures based upon as many

the west includes $4,000 tons of foun-
dry grades for radiator manufacturers
and 10000 tons of basic for steel
plant at Middletown, o.

the market with many small equip

That Cabinet Members May
Become Personal

BOISE. Idaho, Sept. 1S.-"It is true

resign without waiting for the report
of the congressional investigating com

read the dispatch referred to Ballinger

Yes, I read every word of it. But
1t is absolutely without foundation as
far as am concerned"
When asked whether he had broached
the matter to any of his cabinet col

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-The gauntlet
flung, the banner flown. the field
picked, Theodore Roosevelt has now
but little more than a week before the
actual shock of conflict with the old
guard in the republican state conven-
ton at Saratoga.
The colonel returned to New YORK
this morning from Syracuse, where ne
sharply joined issue yesterday with MS
critics IN his speech at the state ralr
mOtored from the city to SaSamoS
Hill, where he arrived shortly before
noon, and spent the rest OF the day
with his family.
Roosevelt refused to discuss his
plans for the fight at Saratoga, or TO
say whether he believes he will be
successful. His references to Pres1-
dent Taft in his Syracuse speech, IN
which he gave his approval to a num-
ber of the most important acts of the
administration, are regarded. however,
as throwing some light on his proba-
BILE attitude toward an Endorsement OF
the administration by the Saratoga
convention.
What action he will take in case an
attempt is made to indorse President
TAFT for a denomination in 1912 is a
subject on which he remains resolutely
mute. Reports that he would resist
such an Endorsement have brought
forth no statement from him, except
that he will have nothing TO say on
that point unless the question be
raised at Saratoga
