SANDWICHES Are EXPENSIVE FOOD

sandwich naturally gets a prominent
place on the menu OF the public eat
ing house where economy Of time III

portant consideration.
In slice Of bread 100 calories or
heat units are distributed among the
different food materials as follows:
Protein, II; fat, 8; carbohydrate, Sc.
In the same amount Of bread and
butter the division is: Protein, g;
fat, 90; carbohydrate, 81.
The proportions in the ordinary
meat sandwich are: Protein, 10;
fat, SO. and carbohydrate, 80.
But even though sandwiches did
not contain an excess OF animal food
or did not by their concentrated form

other good reason why We should
not make them regular article OF
