HOW TO CHOOSE PROTEIN FOODS
ECONOMICALLY

Washington, d. c., September 12-
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 pro-
vide this substance in their diet eco
nomically, say specialists of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture. The prin-
ciples underlying the choice of such
foods are discussed in Farmers Bull
letin 1924, Foods Rich in Protein,
recently published by the department
Protein, the bulletin points oi!, is the
only form in which the very impor-
rant element nitrogen Is furnished to
the human body. The substance is
Lsclutely necessary for the building
and repair of body tissues.
The best known foods rich IN pro-
TEN include meats, fish, eggs, milk
chess. legumes, nuts, etc The pro-
tains Vt thc different foods vary some

much difference from which materials

tein. though a variety of kinds usual

very best source Of protein.
Housewives may solve the problem
of furnishing the needed protein OF
tue diet economically, says the bu'le'
tin, by learning how much protein is
provided by the different kinds Of

which will furnish what the famil.

with little waste. For the assistance
Of housewives in making such com
parsons, tables giving the amount o
the protein in a pound of various pro
tein-rich foods, and also the percent
ages of protein in the different foods
are included in the bulletin.
In discussing the relation of thu
protein food consumed to bodil!
health, the bulletin points out tina

The Surprise.

The battle of Cambria has upwrenched the deep
rooted opinion that present-day warfare, partic
ularly on the Western front, surprises such won
smashing victories in other times practically
impossible. General Byngs sudden blow took the
Huns completely unawares, not simply at points
here and there but throughout sector of some
thirty-two miles, and sent them flying in panic
from, positions they had considered impregnable
The surprise was effected, as far as know,
by merely emitting the intense bombardment
which usually precedes the infantry dash. The
task Of clearing away the barbed wire wilderness
and of other preliminary destruction was entrusted
in this instance to the redoubtable Tank, and we'll
did the jolly monster do its duty Hardly less i'm
portant than the presence of the Tank it appears,
was the absence great scarcity of the enemys
airpanes. The Germans hardly would have been
caught completely off guard If their aeronautic
service had been altogether adequate.
These two factors. then--the demolishing Tank
and supremacy in the air-may be considered as
important il not indeed decisive elements in the
success Of the great surprise-thrust; and as the
Allied air supremacy increases the bewildered en-
envy should prove more and susceptible to
just such coups. Every fortress, runs the pro-
verb, is impregnable until it is taken. Every Inn
possible. yields soon late to resolute courage
and skill. We we're told that the Germans never
could be disodged from the vast burrows OF con-
crete and steel into which they had settled, that
the Hindenburg line never could be broken, that
sharp surprises and open field fighting were no
more to be expected. But all these impossibilities
have stirringly to pass. VINO can say that
the Kaser's fleet will not yet be beared in VIII
helmshaven, or that American troops will not
cleave victorious way across the fiery reaches OF
the Rhine?

The Nation Spy Problem.

President Wilson has just issued order that
will limit the activities of German spies and may
ultimately so handicap their movements as to
make spying a rare and dangerous game All
alien enemies must register under regulations
prescribed by the Federal authorities, they cannot
travel except by special permit and at time will
they be permitted within hundred yards OF
docks water fronts, railway terminals and Gov
eminent property of any character. Commenting
on the Presidents order the Albany Herald says:
That this will solve the problems arising
out of the activities of secret agents of Ger
many in the United States is great deal
more than the Government reasonably
hope for. Germany's agents have had free
rein in the country since the war began, and
curbing their activities is one Of the most
difficult problems, and at the same time one
of the most important, confronting the
country The executive order issued yester-
day is only the beginning of measures that
will be necessary in order to cope with the
activities Of German spies in the country
There will have to be many more tightenings
of the screws before it will be possible for
preparations to proceed safely and without
serious Interruptions. Now they are threat
ened at every STEP
The Herald undoubtedly is right. There must
be tightening of screws all along the line and in
such manner as to leave no doubt of the Govern
ment's determination to out for all time the alien
traitor and spy The day is past when we can en-
dure menace to munition and manufacturing
plants. to our international shipping and to the
hundreds of industries essential to the safe con-
duct of the war. In Europe they give spies and
traitors long prison terms execute them.
America will be very loath to do this last, but
American lives, American homes and American
industries must no longer be endangered by agents
of enemy country.
