Cooking Counts
State Board of Health Prints
Directions for Economical
Preparation of Food.


bad food well cooked, neither
can he keep healthy on good
food badly cooked, !" is the text
on which the State Board OF
Health bases an extensive bull
le,in on the preparation and
cooking of food, sent today TO
all those on the mailing list of
the Board.
"To resist the germs of di
sease," argues the Board, "a
mau must keep his body strong;
to strengthen the body a man
must eat nourishing and di
gestible food; to be nourishing
and digestible, foods must con
tain certain compounds; these
compounds in most cases are
not rendered suitable for eating
except by good cooking"
The new bulletin treats at
length of the composition of the
various foods, of the combina-
tions in which they may be
served and describes the funda-
mental operations in cooking
bread, meats and vegetables.
Emphasis is laid on the i'm
portance of studying, in this
day of high prices, the com
paratiye value of the various
foods and the percentage of
waste that must be paid for.
Many people," declares the
bulletin, seem to think that
because food is more expen.
sive than another, it is better,
and that the best is most cost
~ AS matter of fact, studies
have shown that if the cheap
and widely distributed foods
are well cooked, they are gen
orally richer in food values
than the more expensive dishes.
Salt pork, for instance left
generally as II food for the very
poores t-has three times
the food value of porterhouse
steak; pound of bread CON
tains seven times as much
available food rs a pound of
lobster, deemed a great delicacy
1t is because people do not
understand these simple facts
that they spend far more than
is necessary for food, and, at
the same time, get far less in
food value for the money than
by the purchase of better,
cheaper foods"
The percentage of parts
which cannot bc eaten in food
must be borne in mind in de-
terming its value. Porterhouse
steak contains an average of
1871 per cent waste in bone and
gristle; chuck rib beef, a very
common cut, contains 53.S per
cent waste. In the case of GER
tain vegetables after the peeling
or skin and the water are sub
tracted, there is practically no
food left OF tomatoes, for in
stance, % 3 per cent is water
and only 5.7is available food.
Cymblings contain 80 per cent
refuse waste and 40 per cent
water
In view Of the known demand
for a pamphlet on Good
Food a very large edition of
the Boards bulletin on the sub
ject has. been printed. Copies
will sent free Of cost to all re-
questing it from the Offices of
the Board in this city.

WAR NEWS

mans are trying to work
around the allies flank in Bel
ginm, while the French are aI-
tempting to apply the same
process to the Germans in AL
sace.
Almost all the encounters
that have gone before have
been mere reconnaisances. The
|defeat Of regiment here and
shere has been proclaimed as a
great victory, but in this great
arapple of hundreds of thous-
ands, most of these affairs had
DO significance.
Official announcements from
both sides have been extremely
candid so far. From the stand
point of the allies the important
feature in Saturdays develop
neuts is the great battle which
began in the morning on the
Namur Charleroi line. This is
being fought on the position
chosen by the allies.
Official Statement
a German official statement
aays that troops under com
hand of the Crown Prince of
Bavaria, fighting between Metz
and Vosges, took 10000 prison
crs and fifty guns. 1t adds that
DE French troops opposing the
Germans comprised eight army
corps
An official British statement
Explains calmly that nothing
rrsembling Il great battle has
been fought as yet and warns
he people against optimism.
Reports from the Austrian
ESeryan boundary says the
Seryians have won n battle on
the Drina, which military ex
perts consider highly probable,
Id although the Servians have
comparatively small army, it
has passed through two years
