Careful Buying Reduces Food Cost

'eThe housewife who would reduce the cost OF
food must first Of all know how to select the
foods which are really cheap. That is, she must
know which foods give the greatest return IN
nutritive value for the money spent. 1t is not
enough to consider the cost Of pound or quart
or Dozen" said Miss Hildegarde Kneeland in a
lecture during Farmers Week at the University
of Missouri. "She must consider also the fuel
value Of the food, how much tissue-building pro-
tein is present, how rich it is in mineral matter.
She will then find that the cheapest fuel foods
are the cereals especially cornmeal, wheat flour,
and oatmeal; sugar, molasses, and the cheaper
syrups cottonseed oil, lard, and crisco, the dried
legumes (peas, beans, and lentils), potatoes and
the cheaper grades of dried fruits. Since the
greatest part of our food is needed for fuel, the
economical housewife will use these freely. She
will find that the cereals and dried legumes are
also the cheapest source Of protein, and with
milk and cottage and American cheese can sup
ply most of this tissue-building material. The
more expensive protein foods, meat eggs and
nuts, can then be used frequently. Mineral mat
ter can be obtained most cheaply from milk,
whole cereals, potatoes and dried fruits and le-
gumes, and these can largely replace the fresh
fruits and vegetables and eggs.
"A great deal of money is often paid for flour
which does not increase the nutritive value of the
food The housewife can save here by buying
oil, lard, crisco and cleo for butter; cane syrup
for maple dried fruits and vegetables for fresh
ones; and by using domestic products such as
cheese, sardines, and macaroni instead of the
imported brands
"Thc possibilities of saving by buying in large
quantities are usually overlooked. My ordering

One of the greatest blessings a

possible Women are great sufferers
from blood disorders and hence their
compilations are marred because Of
this fact.

AFRICAN EMPIRE
ANOTHER DREAM
German Colonies Organized
Primarily for Purpose of
War of Conquest
ADMISSION MADE
BY COLOGNE GAZETTE
Colonies of Other Nations Were to Be
Seized Allies Have Been Able to
Make Use of the Africans, Who Are
Good Soldiers.

LONDON, Nov THE Cologne Ga
zette publishes a leading article on the
subject OF German colonial troops, which
* specially interesting as showing the
views OF the influential people whom this
paper represents with regard TO the ere
alton OF great African army. The Ga
zette admits that the German African
colonies were organized militarily for the
purpose of carrying on war Of conquest
against the African colonies of other
European powers.
With reference TO French statements
that there We're 10000 perfectly equipped
native troops in addition to strong Euro
pean reinforcements the paper says there
were 5000 European troops.
The article SAYS it was great pity the
German colonial army was not five times
as large, for in that case the allies
would not have been able TO bring such
vast numbers of colonial troops to the
European theatres of war Experience
J in this war, it says, shows that the East
African native, is sufficiently trained and
| led by Europeans, makes an efficient sol
| der, while the Southwest African makes
an even better one
In order TO prevent her colonies being
| overrun further Germany must make full
use of these resources of man power. and
such natives as have not hitherto beer
subject to Germany must come under hel
rule, while all foreign colonies which
made war against German colonies must
| become German property. Germany
must have a standing colony army in or
der TO strengthen her position and at tho
| same time weaken that of her enemies.
