troops at Hankow, according to a
message received here from the scene
Of the battle at Kiukiang.
Direct communication with Hankow
is still interrupted and few details
are available.
Diplomats here do not believe that
foreigners at Hankow are in much
danger, as accommodation can easily
be found for all of them aboard the
ten or twelve cruisers and gunboats
OF the city, but 1t is feared they may
suffer heavy 57cperty loss If forced
to abandon thej- homes and places OF

From the governments standpoint

been awaiting the outcome OF the

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 much better meal
for the average person than big sir
loln steak. which. with trimmings
will cost fve 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 a
tenderloin steak at 2S 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 20
cents will buy meat enough, with vege'
/ tables added. to make savory and
nourishing stew for six persons; ana
| the entire cost, including bread. butter
coffee and vegetables, need not eX'
ceed 10 cents per person.
According to the Londan Lancet
there IS very little difference between
the nutrltive value of wheat and rye
One distinct advantage of rye bread
Is that It keeps fresh longer than
