DRAFT FOR The CANADIANS

Call for Radical Change in ReVe-

Washington, July 25.-Plans for the
war revenue bill were overturned to-
day by the estimates for war expendi-
lures a%ggregating more than $4,000
900, 900, principally in anticipation of
assembling a second army Of 100000
men under the selective draft. Sec
rotary McAdoo, at a special meeting
Of the Senate finance commission, re-

is preparing estimates to cover addi-

until the detailed estimates Of all de-
partments are submitted. The com
mittee p|igeon-holed a report on the
measure which it had planned to sub

The new estimates, including $5,0OO,-
900 additional for the shipping board
and S1OO,O 900, 900 for the navy depart

Cottage Cheese Saves Meat Bill.
The U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture is making strong eff
forts to awake the people Of the
country to the necessity Of food
conservation. AS a part of this
campaign, attention is called to
food substitutes, many of which
are both palatable and nutri-
tious. The virtues of these, how
ever, are not generally known.
Cottage cheese is an inexpen-
sive meat substitute. 1t contains
a larger per cent of protein than
most meats do. In every pound
of cottage cheese there is APP
proXimately One-ffth of a pound
of protein, nearly all of which
can be digested. Meats, on the
other hand, ordinarily contain
less protein and have a consid-
cradle amount of waste, such as
bone, gristle, etc. A pound of
cottage cheese supplies protein
requirements for the ordinary
adult who is not engaged in
hard labor for one day.
The following tables show the
value Of cottage cheese as COM
pared to various meats. For
supplying protein, one pound of
cottage cheese equals:
1.27 lbs. sirloin steak
1.09 lbs. round steak
1.37 lbs. chuck rib beef
1.52 lbs. fowl
las lbs. fresh ham
1.44 lbs. smoked ham
1.55 lbs. loin pork chop
1.31 lbs. hind leg of lamb
1877 lbs. breast Of veal
In addition to protein, energy
for performing body work must
be furnished by food. AS &
source of energy also, cottagt
cheese is cheaper than mos
meats at present prices.
