partment of health has issued a
bulletin containing suggestions
for reducing the cost of living.
DR.. Charles F. Bolduan, director

wives said:
"Three heaping tablespoons of
maccaroni baked with cheese
contains as many food units as
one half pound of lean roast
beef.
''Three heaping tablespoons Of
baked beans contain the same
number Of food units as two and
one half ounces Of roast lamb.
Gone half pint of split pea
soup contains more food units
than six ounces of hamburger
steak. One pint Of bean soup
contains more food units than a
quarter of a pound of roast
chicken.
"A quarter of pound of boil
ed cold fish contains twice as
much protein as the same amount
of beef stew and more than three
ounces of boiled ham and four
ounces of chicken fricasse.
"Two heaping tablespoons Of
boiled rice contain as many food
units as two and one half boiled
eggs.
Cabbage, which is particularly
high in price at present contains
very little nourishment. 1t re-
quires a whole cabbage to pro-
vide the same number of food
units as one slice of whole wheat
bread.
"A cup of cocoa contains thirty
six times as many heat units and
fifteen times as mnch protein as
three heaping tablespoons Of
boiled cabbage.
"Three heaping tablespoons of
granuIated sugar contains as
many food units as two lamb
chops from which the fat has
been eliminated.
1.-TWO cubic inches of American
cheese contains more nurishmen
than a quarter of a pound o]
beef stew"

DIESEL SUBMARINE ENGINE
Practically Al the Worlds U-Boa;S
Are Enhinped With II

The Diesel oil burning engine is the
prevailing type used u submarines. The
submarines development in recent
years has hinged on the Diesel engine.
AID today one of the main things that
limits the size of the submarine is the
ability TO produce submarine Diesel
engine of sufficient power.
"The early submarine boats were
small affairs driven by gasoline engines
but this type Of engine was discarded
as soon as the Diesel made its appear
ance and today practically all OF the
worlds submarines use this type OF
engine for surface propulsion. There
are few high-speed steam submarines
i'm service in Europe, but these have
been built only because it has been I'M
possible 20 produce a Diesel of the pow
er required in the limits Of space ana
weight allowed by these boats.
"The Diesel type engine is the ilcaI
engine for submarine on account of its
low fuel consumption, compactness alb
sence of excessive heat radiation and
ease Of stopping and starting. This last
characteristics coupled with absence OF
smoke pipes. etc, is most important as
. it allows quick submergence.
Like the gasoline engine. the Diese
engine is built IN both TWO and foW
cycle engine being the more popular
Revolutions range anywhere from 800
/ to $50 per minute for the submarine en-
zines. but the tendency today is for
slow.speed reliable engine and speed!
Of over 400 revolutions per minute are
seldom met with
