The main nutrient which we buy
food for, protein, Is greatest In the por-
terhouse. But it is nearly equaled by
the flank. and when we compare the
refuse Of the two we see that there is
less refc se in the flank and more fat.
But comparing the rump, which is q
much cheaper piece, we see it has quite
as much refuse and third less protein
value. Now, many housekeeper with
a sense of economy would purchase the
rump because it sells for 6 cents or 8
cents a pound less than the porter
house; or, again, she might purchase
the porterhouse, which sells for some
times 10 cents more than the flank.
But the really true economy would be
to purchase that meat which sells not
for the lower price, but which has the
most nutrient ION the dollar" we
might say, and this would certainly be
the flank. In other words, given dol
lar or any number Of dollars, on what
can 1t be spent to get best value?
Every food has a certain per cent of
waste, and this per cent Of waste must
be known in order to do really econom-
ical buying. 1t frequently happens that
the higher priced foods without waste
are less expensive than the cheap food
where there are bones, gristle, skin,
parings, peel, etc, paid for. Marketing
along this new line is being carried on
in some Of our high schools, where
girls are given a definite sum for week
ly expenditures and are asked to figure
how best to nourish some imaginary
family for that amount. How many
older housekeepers are following this
new and scientific marketing? Per-
haps the new arithmetic will have such
examples as these: If one pound of
cheese costs % cents and yields a %
per cent protein value and one pound
Of rib roast costs 80 cents and yields
only Is per cent of protein, how many
pounds of the most protein value can
you buy for dollar? Arithmetic based
on actual practical problems might do
more to interest girls and to bring up a
new race Of scientific housekeepers.

ABOUT FOOD VALUE
How to Buy Nourishment Is Told
by an Expert.
COMPARISON OF NUTRIENTS.

The High Cost of Living May Be Re-
duced by Simple Arithmetic and a
knowledge of What the Different
Foods Contain Both of Nourishment
and of Waste.
How much is it a pound?" INQUIRIES
the housekeeper, whether she pur-
chases meat, flour, cheese or coffee
On the pound value she bases the cost
Of her housekeeping and the cost
Of the meals and living Of her family.
One would think to hear her that, If
meat costs % cents q pound or cheese
y cents or coffee 80 cents, just in
so many cents does she get an equiva-
lent In nourishment But this is totally
wrong. The price per pound in nowise
represents the price of nourishment to
the body.
The housekeeper who Is really trying
to solve the high cost Of everything
will first study nutritive values. She
can do this by the aid of government
bulletins and several small volumes
which she can buy. She must know
how much nutrition she gets out of her
meat, her sugar, her cheese, her coffee,
before she knows the actual cost of
feeding her family. In other words,
she must learn to buy not by the pound,
but by the food value.
Let US compare porterhouse, the
rump and the flank. From actual fig
ures we see that the food values of
these pieces are not the same; neither
do they contain the same amount of
waste:

Hot Water BAGS,

A few precautions taken with a new
hot water bag and continued through
out its life will greatly prolong its days
OF usefulness. To begin with, buy the
bag from a reliable dealer Most bags
are guaranteed and are replaced with
new ones If there is any defect. These
guarantees, Of course, are not good If
you treat the bag harshly. But as soon
as you get new bag home fill it with
hot water, screw in the top and look
1t over carefully to see that there is no
leak and no other visible imperfection.
If there Is none and If the bag is of
good quality it is your own fault II you
cannot tear up the guarantee as not
needed. -

Colored wells are being worn to a

gray on navy. Black and white combi-

New York Sept. 1S.-Further persis-
tent liquidation has left its imprint OF
the price level Of securities this week.
Indications are present that this selling
has to some extent at least been of for
eign origin. Sweden appears to have
Leen one source, following the disclos-
ures Of the use by the German ambassa-
dor q BuenOs Ayres Of the Swedish dip
IOmatic service to send unneutral mfor-
nation to his government. 1t is quite
desirable to emphasize that information
regarding all these foreign sales is not
tangible. But it is well known that
Swedish interests have, like those of
0ther neutral countries, been realizing
enormous profits from their dealings
With belligerent powers during the war.
Hence it does not appear unreasonable
10 believe that they invested substan-
tial amounts of these profits in Ameri'
car securities. Certainly no better ave
nues for investments were present.
The liquidation of a purely local char
meter appears to have been a response
TO the continued uncertainty resulting
fro mthe various influences that have
become such important factors in the
general market situation. For instance,
railroad traffic statements, If comparl-
sons are made with the corresponding
figures of a year ago, suggest, in nearly
all instances, remarkable increases in
expenditures, increases sufficient to cut
down to extremely unsatisfactory pro-
portions the equally remarkable I'M
provement in gross earnings that has re-
suited from the uneXampled movement
