BREAD AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
Would BE Used More Extensively u
Home- Baked Variety Was Always
Good, Say Government Experts.

If home-baked bread were uniformly
well made, 1t would be used more ex-
tensively than at present In place OF
more expensive foods, say specialists
in the United States department OF
agriculture, and this would be q dis
tinct economy. From the standpoint
of nutrition 1t makes very little differ
enc whether breadstuffs are served In
the form of bread or In the form of
breakfast cereals, side dishes with
meat, or desserts.
A man engaged in moderate muscu-
lar work can proftably consume about
three-fourths of a pound n day of
breadstuffs in any one of these forms.
This quantity Is the equivalent of n
pound of baked bread. AS a matter
of fact, however, 1t is not probable
that in the average family this guam
tity Is consumed and the deficiency is
made up by the use of more expensive
substances. OF course bread alone Is
not sufficient for the maintenance of
health, but from both an economical
and a hygienic point of view should be
used more extensively than II usually
Is, declare the experts.

will have several other regular Of
