For a Man.

A man who does fairly hard musc1- lar work would be likely to get the food which his body needs if supplied daily with such combination of foods as the following:
 One and quarter pound bread (having about the same food value as one hound of such cereal preparations as wheat or rye flour, oatmeal, corn meal, rice, etc.)
 Two ounces, or IA cup, of butter oil, meat drippings, or other fat. Two ounces, or IA cup, of sugar: or 1-3 cup of honey, or syrup, CT an euuival- ent amount of other sweet.
 One and one-quarter pounds If food from the following: Fresh fruits and fresh or root vegetables. Twelve ounces of food from a class which may be called "nAeats and meat substitutes;' that is, moderatelv " fat meats, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, dried legumes Oceans, soy beans. peas, lentils, cowpeas and peanuts) Milk also belongs among these foods. but because of the large amount of water it contains, half a glass, or 4 1 ounces of t would be required to equal an ounce of any one of the others
 A man who works hard out of doors all day probably would need more food than this, and one who sits. all ! day at his desk would need less. The ! amounts given are suitable for a man | who, like salesman in store, walks about more or less and does more or less Of such work as lifting. For a Family of Five.
 A family consisting of a man and a woman, who do moderately hard muscular work, and three children say, between and 12 years of age would get the food they require if supplied daily with
 Four and one-half pounds of bread, having about the same food value as pounds of wheat or rye flour, oat- 1 meal, corn meal, hOminy or rice; or about 34 pounds Of such cereals and or 6 medium-sized potatoes. l Three-fourth cup of fat (butter or butter with oil, beef drippings, or other fat)-a weekly allowance of 2 12 to pounds.
 A little more than one cup of sugar, l or weekly allowance of pounds :: or an equivalent amount of some other sweet, such as 1-4 cups of syrup or honey day, or 3-4 pound of dried figs or raisins day.
 Four pounds in all oi fresh fruits and fresh or root vegetables. One of the two following, the choice depending on the age of the children:

Washington, D. C., March 24.- Adults and children must get sey- eral different substances from the food they eat or they will miss some thing which is essential to bodily ef- ficiency and health, according to the nutrition specialists o1 the United States department of agriculture. The housewife, therefore, who plans her meals or attempts to save money on food without some knowledge of these substances and of the five simple groups of foods which supply them is very liable to omit from her meals some food essential for the growth of children or necessary to supply the family with the energy they need for their daily tasks Attempted economy which entirely omits certain foods may we'll prove very poor in- vestment because of it's ultimate ef- feet on the well-being of the house. hold. Price, individual preference for certain foods, and even the fact that hunger is satisfied after a meal, are not safe guides. Tomatoes at ten cents apiece in winter are no more nutritious than they are at five cents quart in summer. child might crave much more sugar than would be good for him. A bulky diet of po- tatoes or bananas might make a per- son feel he had eaten enough, but would not furnish him with the ele- ments that his body needs.
 To plan out meals in the interest of family efficiency and economy at the same time, the housewife fo.- tunately does not need to do elaborate sums in calories or to have any in- innate understanding of such terms as protein and carbohydrates. All she needs to do is to classify the food she uses into five simple household groups laid down in recently issued farmers bulletin sos, published bv the office of home economies, United States department of agriculture. The purpose of the bulletin, which is the first of series of simple pamphlets dealing with the economical use of foods, is to enable the average house. wife to plan her meals effectively, even though she has no special train ing in chemistry or dietetics.
 The substances which the special ists find are needed in the daily diet to maintain the body may be grouped under seven heads: Mineral sub- stances. protein, starches, sugars, fats, cellulose and certain little known but very important growth stimulating substances.
 Days Food Requirements.
 That these essential substances are not difficult for the average house. wife to provide is shown by the fol- lowing combinations, which the spe- cialists believe indicate the daily food re"ni'o",o~ts of normal individuals:

BANK OF ENGLAND
 REAPS GOOD PROFIT

(Correspondence Associated Press.)
 London.-The Bank of England, which is now working night and day on the war loan, is not, as many peo- pie think, a government institution. It is a private company, and reaps a good profit by acting as the nations banker.
 The remuneration paid to the Bank of England for the management Of the national debt was fixed in 1906 as q yearly sum at the rate of 325 pounds per million pounds of such debt up to five hundred million. and 100 pounds per million pounds above this amount. On this basis assuming g total war debt of 2,500, ,00o, 900 the banks remuneration will reach about 250,OOO pounds annually from this source alone. in addition to the 165,- 900 pounds in respect to the old na- Ifional debt, which. at the beginning 0l the war. was about $50 million rounds

STOCKS YIELD ALL
 ALONG THE LINE
During Last Hours Trading Steels, Coppers and Ship
 ping Came Back

New York; December 1S.-Apart from the additional ground yielded by many securities, especially bonds, today's ses- sion of the stock exchange was mean ingless. The market lapsed into abso- lute somnolence after the first hour, by displayed moderate activity toward the end, when steels. coppers, shippings and 8 few speculative specialties showed gains of 1 to 3 points.
 Overnight events and developments of the day contributed to the extreme dull ness by the negative character. Disap- pointment was again expressed at the absence of definite word from Washing ton concerning the railroad problem and rumors of new foreign offerings in the coming year accounted in part for the lower records of existing issues of that class. Recessions in the international bond list ran from fractions to almost 2 per cent for Anglo-French 5s and PA per cent for United Kingdom issue of 1921 per cent.
 Call loans eased perceptibly, although 6 per cent was again the ruling rate, but time funds lost none of their flrmness.
 Liberty bonds were active, the As at 971S to 97, and the 31as at 9S.50 to 9S.SS. Total bond sales, par value, aggregated s4, 725.000
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.

COTTON JUMPS UP
 FOR ANOTHER GAIN
Reports From Private
 Sources Indicate Very Small Ginning Figures

New York, December 1S-A further ad- vance of about 30 points was followed by subsiding volume of business and re- actions in the cotton market today. Jan uary sold up to 29.46c during the early trading. reacted to 29.23c and closed at 29.34c, with the general list closing steady, net unchanged to 2 points higher.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points on a renewal of yesterdays buying movement and sold about 29 to 32 points net higher during the early trading on all months except December, which worked about points above last nights close. The circula- tion of notices estimated at little short of 2OOO bales seemed to cause some scat tering liquidation of the near months while the advance of 1 cent a pound from the recent low levels, attracted realizing in the later deliveries. This checked the upward movement around 2s97c for March and 28.S6c for May, while falling off in ttb volume of busi- ness suggested that the scattering short interest had been pretty well absorbed. There may also have been little southern selling on the advance, but or ferings from that source were very little in evidence and the reactions during the afternon seemed chiefly the result, of scattered realizing. March eased off to 2S.S6c, and May to 2S64c, closing a few points up from the lowest on renewed covering or trade buying.
 According to latest reports, private re- turns indicate a ginning of about 10,115,- GOO bales prior to December 13. The small ginning returns were attributed to bad weather in part. Southern advices indi- cated no change in the spot situation. The trade buying around the ring was chiefly for May delivery.

GRAIN PIT WAS
 LOOKING UPWARD
Oats Go Up on Export Ru- mOrs, While Provisions Go
 Off on Hog Shipments

Chicago. December 1s.--Corn prices developed strength today owing more or less to an unexpected falling off in country advices of shipments. The market closed firm. A c to 1sc net higher, with January $1.21A and May s119M 9119A Oats gained 1sc to Ic. Provisions underwent a setback of 20 to so cents.
 At first the corn market had downward slant as a result of con tinued mild weather. The fact, how ever, that as yet no decided enlarge ment of the number of arrivals had taken place tended to make sellers cautious. notwithstanding that a gov- ernment order which stops the manu- lecture of industrial alcohol from any kind of corn except sample grade was generally construed as a bearish fac tor. Later the scarcity of rural notices of consignments led to good deal of comment and during the last hour there was a somewhat vigorous up turn in values, the consequence part ly of announcement of a sharp de- crease of North American available supplies of oats.
 Signs of export business at the sea- board helped the oats market to ral- ly from early depression. The main sources of the temporary weakness were heavy deliveries on contracts here and local sales to go to store.
 Overabundant supplies of hogs broke the provision market.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December B-The trend in cotton here today was higher, with out any pronounced strength developing. The main supporting influence was the estimate from a private bureau of only 10115,O0O bales ginned thus far from this years crop, indicating an output for the last ginning period of only 410oOo bales, as against 1,146,0O0 the preceding period, and 4S7, 900 for the same period last year. On this showing the market rose 27 to 33 points over yesterday close Toward the end of the day there was realizing from the long side and the market sagged from the highest lev els, closing at net gain for the season of 12 to 14 points.
 On the opening call January was points off, but before the decline reached other months, the ginning estimates reached the ring and there was an im- mediate advance. The rising tendency was held until about the middle of the day. when realizing sales were met.
 A further stimulant to the market was the report from the interior of a some- what better spot demand and signs of a revival in the inquiry locally, leading to

WHAT THE SAVING MAY BE

W AA~N AAAL AJ&h A~NN AA%A eDA@
 Tn a recent communication made for
 the ears of men of science, MT. Cooper
 estimated that the great body of con-
 sumers in the United States would if our water powers were sufficiently devel- oped now be enjoying a saving of at
 least s50,000,0O0 annually in their power
 bills. But even more important than
 this there would be, according to M-. Coopers estimate, at least 100000 work ing men who are now occupied in talk ing coal from the coal mines, coal which, when burned to produce energy, finds its way to the ash pile. That coal , after it has produced energy is gone forever, whereas water power if oc- cupied in similar employment is not lost, for our water powers are mex haustible.
 At least 100000 working men who are now miners would be available to the government for other purposes.
 In the communication just referred to MT. Cooper asserts that had our water powers been even in some small part developed, say about the equivalent of 5.000, 600 water horse power, no industrial class in the United States would receive greater benefit than the farmers. For the farmers would no longer be anxious lest the supply of fertilizers be used up without any prospect of replenishment. There are some $274,000 900 worth of rail- way equipment now hauling coal which would be available for other and equally important services
 Some of the best authorities are strongly inclined to agree with Mir Cooper in the assertion he has recently
 made that today it is even more im- portant to conserve labor than to con- serve coal.
 MT. Cooper does not make this as a general statement without any proof. For he makes use of the latest govern ment statistics that are available in- cluding those of the bituminous coal mined in 1915. In that year nearly 450,
 600 tons of bituminous coal were mined. This entailed the employment of about 550,000 miners. Therefore, the mining of coal is at the rate of 1.2s em- ployes per annum for each 1000 tons. of coal. More than three-quarters of the coal was shipped on cars which required S00000 gondola cars and 27.000 locomo- lives. Approximately 100000 men were employed in this service by the railroads. If therefore our unutilized water horse power had been actually conserved and put into employment it would have
 saved the necessity of mining 2S0,000 tons of coal. And the net saving in the way l of labor of all kinds would be approxi- mately 740.000 men for other industries. | Now that President Wilson, who is un- derstood to have been recently informed | In general way of these statistics, has | recommended to Congress that it take up the question with intent to enact leg l islation which will not only protect pub. lie interest, but also make available this
 water horse power. the chances are
 deemed excellent that before this Con- gress adjourns legislation of this kind l will be put upon the statute books.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 1S.-(Special) Today's market was firm with buying orders from western and Wall street houses and scattered long selling from the south. Spinners appeared to be do- ing little. their usual course of ac- tion at this season of the year. Lo- cal traders, in view of the rapid ad- vance of the market yesterday, ex- pect a steady to firm market this week. There were more Decembers for sale today on the advance. our Liverpool cablegram states freight just allocated provides chiefly for cot ton already bought awaiting ship ment. Don't anticipate consequently in- creased demand south" This probably refers to some disposition of freight room by the English government ship ping board.
