NEED OF HIGHWAYS SYSTEM

Is system of highways which will

highways will include trunk lines with
expensive concrete or brick surfaces
for the very heavy traffic, including
trucks and automobiles. Less used

the governor of Connecticut was iona

the consultation on the state of the

consult Brother Jonathan" meaning
his friend, Trumbull. This advice was
followed and Trumbull devised the
mean of procuring what was required.
The story was told in the army, and

PARTY Is SAFE TN LABRADOR
Message Received Indicates Explorers
Have Traversed the Peninsula
From South to North.

The peninsula of Labrador has
been traversed from the south to the
north for the first time by a scientific
exploring party, according TO an an
nouncement by DR.. w. j. Holland, d.
rector Of the Carnegie museum. at
Pittsburgh, following the receipt OF a
telegram from st. Johns, Newfound-
land. announcing the arrival at that
point of the expedition. which under
took the journey.
The expedition was Jointly financed
by the Carnegie museum, the National
Geographic society and Alfred Mar
shall Of Chicago, who was a member
of the exploring party. In addition TO
Mr.. Marshall, the personnel OF the ex-
petition included w. B. c. Todd, the
curator of ORTHODOXY in the Carnegie

of mammals In the same Institution.
They took with them a number or

Credit for Telescope Given
to Dutch Spectacle Maker

The first telescope has been attrib-
uted to various scientists and invent
ors of the early part of h seven
teenth century, including Calico, jan
sen, Jacob Adrianz and Zacarias
Tausz; but documentary evidence
points to a Dutch spectacle maker,
Hans Lippershey, rs the man who dis
covered the germ of the idea.
In the archives of Holland Is a Pc
tition, presented October 2, 1908, in
which Lippershey asks for what would
now be called n patent for an instru-
ment for seeing at a distance. The
senators were given Il demonstration
of the cOntrivance in the turrets of the
princes palace. and the committee
was so much impressed that they gave
an order for three telescopes. The
price paid was 900 forms, or about
1870 each. A few months later the
senators refused to give Lippershey
the monopoly he desired on the ground
that lit appears that many other per-
sons have a knowledge of this new
invention" The lenses OF these first
telescopes were made of rock crystal.

Food Which Will Provide the
Most Protein at Smallest Cost

Condensed milk contains about 1
ounce of protein per 12-ounce can.
Whole-milk cheese contains about 4
ounces of protein per pound.
Cottage cheese contains about 3
ounces of protein per pound.
Dried legumes:
Beans contain 8 ounces of protein
per pound.
Cowpeas contain 3 ounces of protein
per pound.
Peas contain 4 ounce of protein per
pound.
Peanuts contain 3 ounces of protein
per pound.
Nuts:
Almonds contain nearly 2 ounces of
protein per pound.
Walnuts contain q little over l ounce
of protein per pound.
Cereal foods:
Wheat flour contains . ounces of
protein per pound.
Cornmeal contains IA ounces of pro-
teln per pound.
Oatmeal contains 2 % unces of
protein per pound.
Bread contains IL ounces of protein
per pound.
In considering the amount of pro-
tein supplied by certain foods, one
must make n distinction between the
cooked and the uncOOked state. Dried
legumes and cereals, for example.
usually take up considerable water
during cooking. and this become more
bulky and dilute. A pound of baked
beans supplies the body with about
One-third as much protein as Il pound
of raw beans. Oatmeal takes up SO
much water in cooking that Il pound
of boiled oatmeal has only about one
eighth the food value of a pound Of
raw. A pound of raw beans or oatmeal
would have practically the same total
food value after cooking as before, but
their weight would be greater. In the
same way. Il cupful of raw beans or
oatmeal would make several cupfuls
when cooked.
When eggs are beaten, as In making
omelets and m~cringues, air is forced
into them and they become more
bulky. In this way a given number of
eggs can often be made to serve more
persons than If they are prepared with
out beating; but each person gets less
eggs. If meat Is made into stew, 1t
goes further, because the water adds
to the bulk of the dish but the finished
dish has much lower protein and fuel
value than the original meat. When
meat is cooked without water, as In
roasting, broiling or frying, there is not
much change in its composition.
A h~ousekeeper In choosing foods at
market rightly compares them in their
raw state but when she Is considering
them rs they are actually served at
meals, she must remember these differ
ences in cooking. They should also
be considered in choosing dishes at
restaurants. Changes in cooking
cereals are discussed in another bulle-
tin of this series.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Because protein is SO important TO
the health of the body. 1t is not con-
sidered desirable in diets consisting OF
the ordinary combinations of food ma
terials to cut down the quantity in the
daily food below 80 ounces per adult
man and proportionate amounts for
women and children.
How then can the housekeeper re-
duce the cost of food and still provide
enough Of this necessary but expensive
material? The best way Is TO earn
how much protein is provided by 1if-
ferent kinds of food and then choose
the kinds which will furnish what the
family needs for the lowest cost and
with the least waste. This task will be
easier If the housewife will group in
her mind the foods which are rich In
protein and her consider ways of sub
stituting less expensive for more ex-
pensive ones.
The lists given below include some
Of the more common foods In which
protein Is abundant and show in Il gem
erai way the amounts and proportion
OF protein in the different kinds as
they are purchased that is, including
refuse, such as bones and gristle, egg
shells, etc.
Approximate amounts OF protein in
common food materials:
Fresh meats:
G contains from . TO 3 ounces of
protein per pound.
Veal contains from 2 to 8 ounces of
protein per pound.
Mutton contains from . to az
ounces of protein per pound.
Lamb contains about pa ounces of
protein per pound.
Pork contains about 2 ounces of pro-
TEN per pound.
Poultry-chicken. duck. goose, tur-
key, ETC., contain from Q TO 2A ounces
of protein per pound.
Game-squirrel, rabbit, wild birds,
etc, contain from 2 to 2H ounces of
protein per pound.
Prepared meats:
Corned beef contains 2H ounces of
protein per pound.
Dried beef contains 4 ounces of pro-
TEN per pound.
Pork sausage contains 9 ounces of
protein per pound.
AIMED chicken contains 4 ounces of
protein per pound.
Fresh fsh-cod, haddock, halibut.
mackerel, perch, salmon, shad. etc.
contain from 1k to 21a ounces of pro-
TEN per pound.
Dried fish contains from 2h to g
ounces of protein per pound.
Eggs contain . ounces of protein Der

Dairy products:
Whole milk contains about | ounce
of protein per quart.

of a revival of the cotton growing In

ton to the fact that the republic Is the
original home Of one of the parent cot
tons Of the world. Cotton thrives In
the country when skilfully cultivated.
but the industry has thus far been neg
lected for others more profitable. The
consul general advances a strong point
when he says that a by-product of the
cotton industry-cottonseed oil cake
would be a great help TO the cotton
