healthy persons should not make the
mistake of assuming that it is neces-
sary to measure their food as care
fully as a doctor measures his medi-
cines or even the food which he pre-
scribes for an invalid. If the body is
in good condition 1t adapts itself to
the ordinary variations in its food
supply. The danger comes when, day
in and day out, the body gets too
nuch or too little food, or when the
kinds provided are not the most
suitable. While there is no need to
measure exactly how much protein
is obtained with every meal, IL the
diet as a whole is to be healthful
and economical the person who plans
II ought to know in general way
how much protein and other nutri-
ents are needed and how much Is
contained in the different food ma
terials, and then choose accorolngly.
The bulletin contains recipes for the
preparation of economical dishes
rich in protein.
