New State House Not Needed
Mr.. EDITOR

MIR. EDITOR
AS one who has served four terms in
the Legislature, and hence has had full
opportunity to judge of the matter, OPP
pose the erection of the new state house
building. upon which question we are to
vote al the coming March town meetings.
We do not need it. A comparatively
inexpensive addition to the present build
ing tor library and storage of papers will
answer all requirements 1t would cost
a full half million beiore fully completed,
as such things always take about double
what they first call for. Montpelier in
huences are at the bottom of the measure,
since it would add to the attractions OF
the city, cause lot of money to be spent
there, and stop further talk about remov-
ing the capital to more central place.
They would favor it if it were to cost a
million.
When l oppose the erection of new
building, am sure that voice the SEN
timents of the large majority of the
members of the last H louise of Representa-
tives. M. !. HAPGooD,
Peru, VT, Feb. IA, 1914.

How does fish compare with meat in
respect of nutritive qualities-as, for
instance, oysters with beefsteak?
Different kinds of meat differ in food
value. veal being much below beef,
pork or mutton. Fish also vary in
food value, oysters being among the
least nutritious. Scientists regard food
as fuel and measure food values by
calOries or heat producing qualities.
According to this standard. they rate
loin steak at 1,025 calories to the
pound: round steak. 500 calories; fresh
mackerel. $40; fresh Goldfish, 800; oys-
tiers. 225.
