Urges Vegetarian Diet and Gives
Pointers. to Those Who Must
Have Meat-Much Nutrition
In Cheap Steak.

Chicago.-"Don't make a junkshop
Of your stomach" is the warning of
the Chicago health department In the
weekly bulletin issued the other day.
The editor of the bulletin advocates
a vegetarian diet. but for those who
must have meat with their meals he
points out way to get around the
high cost OF living problem.
THE cost of an article of food is no
true guide as to its real nutritive
value" he says. For example, glass
of pure milk with bread and butter, an
egg and dish Of fruit, costing all
told 25 cents, is a much better meal
for the average person than big sir
loin steak. which, with trimmings.
will cost five times as much"
"The trouble with many people is
they are willing to pay high prices for
food that while it tickles or pleases
their palates, is Of no more value than
that costing much less.
"a pound Of protein or fat from
tenderloin steak at % cents a pound
contains no more nutrition than the
same AMOUNT from shoulder or round
steak at less. than half the expense.
Even in these days of high prices rs
cents will buy meat enough, with vege-
tables added, to make a savory and
nourishing stew for six persons; and
the entire cost, including bread, butter,
coffee and vegetables. need not ex-
coed 10 cents per person.
