TO PLAN YOUR MEA

Housewives In many cases can re-
duce the cost of supplying their
tables without reducing the nutritive
value Of the food served by giving
more thought than usually is given
to the selection. preparation, and
combination of foods. In fact, where
carelessness has been the rule (and
carelessness is not related to the size
of the income), the specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture say careful planning may make
possible both a reduction of cost n
an increase in nutritiveness and pal.
ability. IL any changes are to be
brought about in the menu to which
a family has been accustomed, how
ever, by eliminating certain articles
or substituting less expensive ones,
care should be taken that the result
ing diet is national; that Is, that 1t
does not contain, on the one hand,
too great a proportion Of foods of any
n type, such as meats and meat
substitutes, Of starch, sugars, and
fats, or vegetables and fruits. and
that, on the otheer hand, 1t is not
deficient in any Of these types of food.
In general. habit and custom, shap-
ed by normal appetites, have led to
the general adoption of adequate and
varied diets in most families where
the means are sufficient for any
range of choice. Thus when meat
q food rich in nitrogen-is eaten DO
tato, rice, bread, or some other
starchy food, and fruits and vege-
tables, and perhaps foods of the other
types. usually are served with it. If
a persons food habits are good, he
will eat a reasonable quantity of all
the foods provided and obtain a va
ried meal and not a one-sided one, as
might otherwise be the case.
The lists of foods given at the end
OF, this article are intended to show
different types Of food and different
examples of each type. If the foods
combined in the diet are chosen ac-
cording to these types-that is, &C
cording to the purpose each group
serves In the body-and are eaten In
proper proportion, the meals will fur.

Household HELPS and Hints

nish all the kinds of nourishing ele-
ments which the body needs. The
five types or groups are:
/. Foods depended upon for min
eral matter. vegetable acids, and
body regulating substances, such as
fruits and ~succulent vegetables.
2. Foods depended upon for pro-
TEN. such as milk, eggs, meat, and
dried legumes.
3. Foods depended upon for starch
such as cereal breakfast foods, fours,
meals, and foods made from them.
A.. Foods depended upon for sugar,
such rs sugar, molasses, syrups,
honey, jams. thick preserves, dried
fruits, sweet cakes and desserts.
5. Foods depended upon for fat.
such as butter, cream, salad oil and
other table fats, lard, suet, and other
cooking fats and oils, salt pork, and
bacon.
In order that the meals may supply
all the needed nutritive elements, one
must make SURE that all groups are
well represented; not necessarily at
every meal, but when the family diet
is considered day by day and week in
and week out. Quantities should vary
particularly of the energy-yielding
foods, for persons engaged in differ
ent pursuits necessitating different
amounts Of exercise. The heavier
the work the more food is needed.
In planning meals in accordance with
the method here suggested, choose
only few dishes and make sure that
the different groups are representing
in the daily fare. Foods in groups
l and 2 are less expensive. as a rule,
than those in group 2, and for this
and other reasons should be used
freely as the basis OF the diet, with
sufficient amounts Of foods from group
~ ohu ~, W IOuuu OuL tuS meals
Remember that the materials used In
cooking or served with foods flour
eggs, milk. fat. sugar, etc. add their
food value to the diet. Remember
also that 1t is not necessary to sup.
ply all the types of food at every
meal, providing enough Of each is
supplied in the course Of the day
For example. II the foods which are
depended upon for nitrogen (meat
eggs, milk, etc. are found In abund
ance at breakfast and dinner, 1t Is
not necessary to include them at sup
per or lunch, or if a person prefers
a light breakfast, he may leave out
the ni%trogen-rich food and perhaps
some Of the other foods in the morn
ing and make up for it at the moor
and evening meals.

EGGS

Nowadays eggs. in the city al
least. can rarely be considered a
cheap food of themselves, but eggs
are indispensable in cookery, are
easily prepared for the table and
easily and thoroughly digested. Most
seem to demand something
they regard as "solid" food in their
meals and this means either meat or
q meat substitute. AS a matter of
fact. a slice of bread or a small serv.
Ing Of butter or lump and a half of
sugar has the same fuel and energy
value az an egg. though not SO much

.ein. As q substitute for meat. eggs

Duplex Truck a Success
in Road Building

Duplex 4-Wheel Drive, Motor
Trucks are playing an important
role in the construction of roads in
various sections of the United
States, according to reports which
are being received by H. M. Lee,
president of the Duplex Truck
Company of Lansing, Michigan.
County road commissioners in
several States have declared in let
ters to Mr.. Lee that the cost of
operation of Duplex trucks has been
so low, in comparison to teams of
horses and mules, that the saving
effected has been sufficient to cover
the cost of the trucks.
w. j. Sutcliffe, Duplex distributor
in Waterloo, Ia, asserts that Du-
pleX truck gave a remarkable dem
onstration recently and out-per-
formed q big tractor which was be-
ing used in road building work.
Mr.. Sutcliffe's letter follows:
I'VE surprised the natives a little
yesterday when we went out and
hitched onto a road leveler that was
here giving the county commission
ers a demonstration. They were sur
prised when they unhitched their
40-60 tractor that was going along at
snail's pace, and we substituted
the Duplex. In a mile travelled we
gained a quarter of mile on the

Many Touring Parties
to Western Coast

If inquiries received by Don Lee,
Cadillac dealer at San Francisco, are
an indication, the coming summer
will be a big season for motor tour
ing to the Pacific Coast.
Mr.. Lee reports that he is in daily
receipt of letters asking information
about the roads of California. Judg-
ing by the inquiries tine early travel
ers will take the Old Trails Hight
way, but those who start in June
will favor the Lincoln Highway.
Each year the number who travel
to the coast by one route and return
by another is increasing. In thiS
way the motorist usually makes the
run between San Francisco and Los
Angeles, with a chance to visit the
Yosemite on the way south and see
the Lake Tahoe country on the trip
over the Sierras.
$50 many Cadillac owners made
the trip last year" says Mr.. Lee,
that the arrival of car from New
York or Chicago was no longer a
matter of notice. Last season it got
to be almost a daily occurrence in
our garages about the State. One
afternoon in Los Angeles, four
rans-continental Cadillacs came
into the garage within two hours.
This year should see more eastern
ers in California than ever before"

usersTand they follow these orders.
If they run through a motorcycle
squad and smash them right and
left 1t is all in the days work-and
the motorcyclist knows it. II a huge
motortruck would simply bump
cyclist off the road and let it go at
that, the case would not be so bad
but they usually hurl the rider fifteen
or twenty feet ahead on the road and
then run over him.
Under no conditions can a motor
lorrie train stop without orders. Tons
of high explosives, or equally precious
foodstuf, must go through at any
cost once they are started. SO a very
important part of the motorcyclist's
the early stages of the war believe
the motorcycle sections were allowed
to ride pretty close to the front. but
it was later found advisable to leave
the motors behind when the lads went
up for the lighting"
When asked. in the light of his
actual experience. what the biggest
lesson is that America has to learn
concerning the motorcycle in military
service, he replied that motorcycle
service in war is not a circus or a
carnival, it's a business and a bloody
business at that and you have failed
to grasp that idea. You could hardly
be expected to understand it for you

dispatch riding is now considered
rather tame by our boys. They pre-
fer the machinegun motorcycle serv-
ice, as it is there that they get ac-

Motorcar Pays For Itself
in Hands of Busy Man

'An automobile owned by an alert
and active man pays for itself quick
ly," says Jno. ID. Mansfield, general
sales manager for the bort Motor
Car Company. Estimating conser-
vatively, a half hour each day is
saved the typical businessman
through the. use of his car. In the
course of a working year of 312
days this means 156 hours, or about
three weeks of his working time. 1t
is not necessary to remind Mr..
Busyperson that a lot can be done in
three weeks.
Figure out what your own time
is worth and you realize the import
ance of a half hour saved, but go a
little further. Consider the thing
from the standpoint of public well
fare. With three million automo-
biles running in this country, an ag-
gregate of one million, five hundred
thousand hours time is thus saved
each day.
Based upon six days work of nine
hours per day. what does it amount
to when you reduce this gross saw
ing of time to actual money value?

lion automobiles represented only an

The motorcycle has not only full
filled but exceeded all expectations"
says Capt. Louis Keene. an English
officer now in the United States on
special detail, who brings with him
the most comprehensive and valuable
fund of information that has so far
reached this country concerning mo-
torcycles in European warfare.
Capt. Keene spent two years behind
and in the trenches in France, and
during most of the time was in
charge of a motorcycle machinegun
battery. That the motorcycle finds
its greatest importance in modern
military tactics as machinegun unit
is the contention of Capt. Keene
Il do not for moment wish to be-
little the great service of the dispatch
riders. for there are heroes among
them by the score, but | cannot avoid
the conclusion that in the final analy-
sis II is the motorcycle machinegun
unit that weighs heaviest in the sales
for victory" he says. I'VE consider
one machinegun equal in fighting
strength to 100 men, and when it is
possible to move such a weapon
quickly from point to point by means
of the motorcycle. you will under
stand that the combination is a Won
derfully strong one"
\ surprising bit of news revealed
by Capt. Keene is the fact that more
motorcyclists have been killed so far
by the motor lorries of their own
army than by enemy bullets. Trans
port trains have orders to get through
at top speed, regardless of other road

trucks have been used by the COM
missioners in the hardest kind of
service. Mr.. Blizzard says:
I'VE can cheerfully recommend

Chalmers Driven 6O3
Miles in City Traffic

Under conditions that were un-
favorable, Paul Gee. Chalmers dis
tributor at Grand Rapids. recently
drove Chalmers seven-passenger
touring car sos miles in and around
Grand Rapids in twenty-four hours.
The car was locked in against low
and intermediate speeds, giving the
driver access only to high and re-
verse gears.
Gees run was remarkable. Three
newspapermen, American Automo-
bile Association representatives,
checked all the details. An official
stamp was placed on the seal bind
ing the gears and the gasoline tank
was filled and sealed. The. start was
made from the Chalmers service sta
ton in Grand Rapids. No set course
was followed, the car plunging
through the heavy traffic up the
heavy grades of the city and through
the heavy going of the outskirts.
Paul Carlton, a Chalmers salesman,
relieved Gee at the wheel and dur
ing the major part of the afternoon
and evening four other persons were
passengers.
At s p. m, the day of the race a
stop was made for gasoline and
checked. All through a heavy down.
pour of rain. so fierce at times that
the driver could not see the road and
was forced to stop, the contest con-
tinued. Gee and Carlton were wet to
the skin, but they hung tenaciously
TO their work and again at s a. m.
more gasoline was taken. About noon
it was evident that a great Chalmers
performance had been made, and at
$50 p. m. as the car poked its nose
in the garage. the speedometer show
ed to the newspapermen that the
motor had travelled sos miles. Dur
ing, that time the average consump-
ton of gasoline was 1872 gallons to
the mile. This was low test gas.
From every standpoint the run
was remarkable. The conditions all
the way were far from ideal. In criss-
crossing the city locked in high gear,
all sorts of impediments to speed
were met with. And the heavy going
assisted materially in holding down
the average. Without the rain and
muddy streets and roads the mark
of sos miles would easily have been
bettered.
This test, which is exclusive high
gear driving, is most severe on the
clutch and back axle parts of the
car. It was convincing test of
Chalmers endurance.

Austria-Hungary. who left Vienna a
month ago after the breaking of dip
lomatic relations between that coun-
try and the United States and reach
ed New York Thursday. gave out q
statement with regard to his person
al observations in the zone of North
ern France evacuated by the Ger
mans.
The trip, which took him up to the
very firing line, was made about two
weeks ago. Mr.. Penfield character
lied the behavior of the German SOL
diers against the population as bar
barity and fiendishness," and their
destruction of fruit and shade trees
as systematic numbering of nature"
With regard to conditions in the dual
monarchy, the ambassador is unable
to speak at present as he has not
reached, Washington, but he does not
hold out any prospect of immediate
collapse.
