bOU|LLON CUBES HALF SALT

tious and Economical. Says De-
pnrtmcnt Of Agriculture.

Washington. Dec. 1O.-Thc belief of
many people that bouillon cubes are
concentrated meat essence and of high
nutrtive value, has been shattered by
recently issued bulletin Of the de-
partment of agriculture which says
that while they are valuable stimu-
lants or flavorlng agents they have
little or no real food value and are
relatively expensive in comparison
with homemade broths and soups.
This bulletin CNo. 27) compares the
contents ana food value of houlllon
cubes with meat extracts ana home
made preparations of meat.
The ordinary commercial buuillon

they range in price from 10 to 90

cubes are buying salt at a high price.
The cubes do contain a small amount
of protein tmusclc- building materiaD
in addition to their stimulating prop
critics, ana the makers of most of the
cubes make no advertised claim hat
they are concentrated beef broth or
essence. However, many housewives
believe that they are and that they
possess high nutritive value. especial-
ly for invalids. This is not the case.
The fact that the cubes sell for from
one to two cents each, and each cube
makes cup of broth, misicads the
housewife into believing that she il

really she is buying it in an cxpon-
siVc form.
According to analysis of these cubes
besides the common salt which consti-
tutcS from ~ to - per cent. of the total
weight, the amount of meat extract
ranges from eight per cent. in the poorest
