PROTEIN FOODS.
Issues Bulletin Telling How
to Choose Food with This Element.

to Choose Food with This Element.
Since protein is one Of the most i'm
portant food elements which the body
needs and in most forms Is expensive,
housewives should take particular care
in the selection Of foods rich in protein
in order that they may provide this
substance in their diet economically, say
specialists Of the U. s. department of
agriculture. The principles underlying
the choice of such foods are discussed in
Farmers Bulletin 1924. Foods Rich In
Protein" recently published by the de-
partment Protein, the bulletin points
out. is the only form in which the very
important element nitrogen is furnished
to the human body. The substance is
absolutely necessary for the building and
repair Of body tissues.
The best known foods rich in protein
include meats. fish. eggs. milk. cheese.
legumes. nuts. etc. The proteins of the
different foods very somewhat in char
acter. 1t does not make much differ
ence from which materials older persons
get their supply Of protein. though a
variety Of kinds usually Is considered
desirable. In the case Of children. how
ever milk Is the very best source of pro-
tein.
Housewives may solve the problem Of
furnishing the needed protein Of the diet
economically. says the bulletin, by learn
ing how much protein Is provided by the
different foods vary somewhat in char
ing the kinds which will furnish what
the family needs for comparatively low
cost and with little waste. For the as
sistance of housewives in making such
comparisons. tables giving the amount OF
the protein in a pound Of various pro-
tein-rich foods. and also the percentages
of protein in the different foods are in
cluded in the bulletin.
In discussing the relation Of the pro-
tein food consumed to bodily health. the
| bulletin points out that healthy persons
should not make the mistake Of assum-
| ing that 1t is necessary to measure their
/ food as carefully as doctor measures
| his medicines or even the food which he
prescribes for an invalid. II the body is
In good condition 1t adapts itself to the
ordinary variations in its food supply
The danger comes when, day in and day
out. the body gets too much or too little
food, or when the kinds provided are moi
the most suitable. While there is nc
need to measure exactly how much pro-
| diet as a whole is to be healthful and
economical the person who plans 1t ought
to know in a general way how much
protein and other nutrients are needed
and how much is contained in the differ.
ent food materials. and then choose &C
cordingly. The bulletin contains recipes
for the preparation Of economical dishe,
rich in protein.

shortage and the subject Of rising
prices. They are of one opinion that
prices can be brought down little un.

great export demand, they believe. will
maintain prices at high level until lonG
after the war has ended.

CHEAPER MILK FOR
CONSUMER, PERHAPS
Many Reasons to Expect Lower Prices.
Say Food Administ ration Officials.


Washington, Sept. 12.-Cheaper milk
for the consumer Is indicated as the
hope Of the food administration In n
statement issued tonight forecasting
reductions in cattle feed costs.
A voluntary arrangement between
producers and distributors whereby
milk prices may be cut Is discussed
as a possibility when the administra-
ton completes it's investigation of
milk production and distributing costs.
Semi annual contracts between pro-
ducers and distributors are about to
expire and both sides have been ad-
vised to make monthly contracts in
the future in view of an apparent ear
ly reduction in dairying costs. The
situation will be more clearly defined.
1t is declared when the new crops
are on the market
There can be no doubt" said the food
admnisti atoms statement, that the very
high prices of feeding stuffs during the
last few months has borne hard on the
dairymen, but there are many reasons to
expect much lower rangeo Of prices later
in the fall The promise of large corn,
oats and roughage crops the rigid embargo
on the export of cottonseed cake and the
agreement with the millers by which mill
feed will be reduced should all tend to re-
duce the cost of animal feed"
