to suit almost any taste.

10 suit almost any taste,
Our nations future lies in the
chiId's ration today and there is no
ing wholesome and nourishing food
We have poultry and eggs and dairy
products, but too often they are a
scarce article on the farm table. The
housewife does not know the real val
ue of these articles of food, and the
food supply comes mainly from the
store where variety is obtained only
at considerable expense.
Just now, with the present high cost
of almost everything, it seems very
appropriate for the grange to take up
the study of home economics. Let us
learn what foods are of most value to
the body and how best to cook and
serve them; what variety OF cooking
utensils are most economical and at
the same time sanitary; how we can
serve our meals properly, yet save
work and countless other things to be
learned from this study. When the
housewife gains a fair knowledge OF
these subjects 1t will add greatly to
the health and enjoyment Of life in the
country. Farm life will be more at
tractive and will make the country a
good pIace to live and develop future
generations.

price that there Is great temptation
to exclude them from the diet. This
is an unsafe practice. The food elimi-
mated because of its seemingly high
cost may be the cheapest possible
source Of some nutritive substance
necessary to the health and welfare
of the body.
The only fair way to estimate the
value of food is to know first what
the body needs for food; second, how
nearly particular food meets these
needs; and third, whether some other
food will supply these needs equally
as we'll for less money, Real econ
omy comes then in using food to
supply that which it gives most abun
dainty and effectively and which can
not be replaced to better advantage
by some other food.
The needs of the body for food are
three; first, for energy; second, for
building material; and third, for body
regulating substances. All these
needs must be fully met before a
healthy well-nourished body will be
bhe result The value of food to
the body is measured by its ability
to supply one or more of these needs.
The cost of food is measured by
comparing it's cost as source of en-
ergy, building material or body regu-
lating substance with the cost of these
things in other foods.
Perhaps no food will give better re.

Rome had everything their own way.
But when the plebeians Tor, as we
