be noted that each of these figures Is

In the five year period the total
valuation paid upon by the mining

When one takes these figures and

we have been paying &c per cent more

SOME COMMON FOOD PALACES

cause of its high calorie value. Eggs,
with four times as much water as
honey, contain thirty-three times as
much protein, or tissue building ma
terial, and meat, with three times as
much moisture. contains forty times as
much protein as honey with its higher
calorie value -due entirely to 81 per
cent of sugars.
This is by no means to be construed
as an attack on honey. On the con-
trary, as a source of energy sweets are
thought to be more readily available
than starches and fats, and honey has,
besides, the advantage due to it's
slightly acid quality, the mineral in
gradients present and the wholesome
and readily digestble nature of its
sugars (cane, grape and fruit as well
as a possible slightly laxative effect.
It is well not to juggle food values"
with fuel values" You must know
what's in it" before you can judge Of
the value of food.

Moreover, sweets should not be
taken in concentrated form on an empty
stomach. and it is generally conceded
that they promote decay of the teeth
two more items that prevent such
body fuel from substituting for con-
structive foods in the ration. Again,
honey contains much less water than
meat and eggs and milk another rea-
son for its higher calorie value and for
its use in smaller quantities.
The digestive organs would not toll
crate a sweet like honey in the guam
titles that they would milk and eggs
and fruit-another factor that makes
the "calore value" for a given weight
most misleading when comparatively
used.

a wonder tale of a sweet or fatty or
starchy food that takes the place" of

concentrated food in the ration be-

hav. been buying pasteurized milk for
my family In the belief that II II safer than
raw. Lately | have heard that In some
ways II Is really more dangerous. Is this
right
Pasteurized milk represents the less
er of two evils-but it has its own
dangers. II you are unable or unwill-
ing 10 pay the price of good, fresh, safe
milk. known TO be from clean, healthy,
inspected cattle. and carefully handled,
then pasteurization is "Hobson's
choice" Heating the milk at So de-
grees c. $50 degrees F. for twenty
minutes will kill any disease germs
present and not destroy "the life" of
the milk. II does destroy, however, the
Tactic acid ferments which cause sour
ing, and as souring is the natural dan
ger signal, other processes of deteri-
Grafton may go on without warning.
Then. too, the Tactic acid ferments
are a good thing in themselves. Too
often pasteurization is relied upon to
cover careless, dirty methods of hand
ling and neglect of proper refrigera-
ton, in which case the last state may
in time be worse than the first. It is
not the ideal-it is an expedient. a
most desirable precaution in many
cases, if properly carried out and safe
guarded.
For invalids and the infant, We think
that raw, certified milk from inspected
cattle, handled so as to keep the bac-
terial count down to a minimum no.
900 bacteria per CO., held az tenn
perature of 30 degrees F., and deliv-
cred within twelve hours, is a boon
above money and above price.
For the general consumption of the
healthy adult. a good pasteurized milk,
held at the same low temperature and
carefully handled. is probably an eco
nomic necessity and is safe and whole
some. Milk from diseased cows, han
died in a dirty and careless fashion and
depending on pasteurization instead of
ice for its preservation, is a dangerous
proposition.
This is one of the many cases in
which the modern homemaker must
fall back on city and health officials for
protection, and so her home duty takes
her perforce outside the home.

was sounded on the institute pages
some weeks ago we were told that this
was a straw man; that no one really
made this mistake.
Just recently, in a rather well pre-
pared article on honey submitted for
publication, not by mere unframed
home woman, but by writer on food
subjects, the following statement was
made:
at is shown that seven ounces OF
honey is equal in food value to twelve
ounces Of round beefsteak, one quart
of milk, fifteen ounces of Goldfish, ten
eggs, eight oranges or five bananas.
Each Of these costs more than the
honey, and yet they are all regarded as
essentials =. Surely in the interests
