institutional dietaries. economical
menus for the household. and the
los of living. These are constantly
bringing out the facts that diet GUS
toms are subject to wide inequalities
in different parts of the world and in
different strata of society; and they
further make 1t clear that food
habits are not so fixed as was n
supposed, but are varied to meet
economic charges and alterations
incident to the shifting of population.
The changes in the nutrition of the
masses lie in the cities, the country
districts adhering more closely to the
dictates of tradition. 1t is in the
cities that the most noticeable of the
modern changes in dietary customs,
such as the increasing consumption
of meat and the Introduction OF
ready-to-eat foods. have first taken
hold on great numbers of individuals.
Furthermore. the questions of diet in
large institutions almost always need
to be solved with reference to local
market conditions.

LEAD AND ZINC IN OKLAHOMA.

Oklahoma was the only one of the
central states which showed a larger
output of both lead and zinc in 1913
than in 1912. The value of silver.
lead and zinc produced at mines in
Oklahoma for the year 1918. accord
ing to J.. P. Dunlop. of the United
States Geological survey, was ST.
S55,217, compared with $1.101.042
in 1912. The increased yield of lead
and zinc in 1913 was due entirely to
operations in the Miami field. Drill
ing operations were conducted over
a wide area and resulted in finding
some extensive bodies of mineralized
ground. the sinking of new shafts,
and the erection of concentrating
plants.

because of low passenger fares and
the increasing cost of service, much
of the passenger service is operated
for the convenience of the public at
a positive loss, and the whole pas

ating expenses. Hence the justice of
making a reasonable increase in the

RAILWAYS AND PARCEL POST.

Weighing of the mails is now in
progress for the purpose of getting
an estimate for contracts between
the railroads and the government
Many persons have wondered what
action the present official department
has taken since the parcel post act
became effective, and what portion
of the increased reyenue would go
to the railroads. The matter is dis
cussed in the New York Commercial
in a manner which indicates 1t be-
lieves the railroads are not getting
enough of the profits. as follows.
On February II last. the Rail
roads committee vas advised by the
Postofice department that it had
made a recommendation to congress
that ION eou of the increased
weight of mails due to the parcel
post. the postmaster general should
be authorized to add to the compen-
sation of the railroads not more than
one-half of one per cent. This would
have added only s254,00O to the mail
pay of all the railroads in the country
but congress has not ever given them
this trifiing sum, though the post
master general estimates that the
current years revenue from the par.
eel post will be not less than sixty
million dollars.
Ralph Peters. president of the
Long Island railroad and chairman OF
the committee on railway mail pay,
points out that in Great Britain the
railways receive ffty-five per cent OF
the revenue from the parcel post.
Before the establishment of the par
eel post the railroads in this country
received for transporting the mails
at least one-ifth of the p~ostoffice
revenue. Assuming that their SER
vice is no greater in handling the par
Gel post than with other mail, this
increased evenu of $50, 900, 900, to
the p~ostoffice departent should in all
fairness mean increased payments to
the railroads of at least s12, 900 900.
Nevertheless. the appropriation bill
passed by congress provides no pay
ment to the railroads beyond the pro-
won already made that five per cent
might be added to the pay of rail-
roads on which there had not been
a weighing since January 1913.
1t must be remembered that the
railroads are not only losing money
by carrying the parcel post matter
practically free of charges, the five
per cent. addition being hardly worth
counting. they are losing venue by
the decrease in their express bust
ness. This is burning the candle at
both ends" with a vengeance. Con
gress intends to do something, but 1t
is a matter of record that congress
has sometimes failed to authorize the
payment of this country's just debts
for more than half a century. This
claim for more pay for parcel post
service is SO clear that the joint con-
%gressional committee should make its
report on the subject promptly.
