WASHINGTON, ID. C., July H.
The most practical means of reducing
table expenses without decreasing
the wholesomeness and adequacy OF
the diet lies in increased use Of cereal
foods, especially boiled grains, mush.
es and breads made OF corn meal and
cereals other than wheat.
Cereals contain most of the import.
ant food elements which the body
needs and yet are comparatively in
expensive. They are primarily a
source of starch, needed by the body
to yield energy. They furnish also
considerable quantities of protein, one
of the most important and usually one
Of the most expensive food elements.
needed to build the body and keep
it in repair. In addition, cereals fur
nish mineral matter, fats, fiber, and
especially if part of the bran is left
in, little known substances which reg
ulate body activities.
Cereals, therefore, may be used as
the relatively inexpensive basis for
meals. 1t then becomes necessary
only to eat with them comparatively
small quantities of higher-priced foods
to make up a proper balance among
the needed elements.
Cereals interchangeable
When animal foods or other nitro
genous foods, fruits, and vegetables
also are used in the diet, the various
grains may be interchanged freely as
availability, cost, or preference die
- 10
is practically the same. Protein, fat,
and mineral matter vary somewhat in
the different kinds, put so slightly
that the difference need not be con-
sidered in the ordinary mixed diet. In
such a diet, therefore, corn or oatmeal,
for example, may be satisfactorily sub
stituted for wheat when the latter is
scarce, without detracting from the
wholesomeness of the meals.
Forms of Cereal Food
The most common form in which
cereal food is consumed is bread. The
food value of bread, however, comes
from the cereal of which it is made.
and it makes little difference whether
we get our cereal ration in baked or
boiled form. If cereals are to be made
a more important feature Of the diet,
mushes and boiled grains, as we'll as
baked cSughs, should be eaten in
greater quantity. Practically any Of
the cereals may be used in making
some type of bread. Wheat has been
most used because its gluten makes
possible the raising of the dough with
yeast, Flours and meals of other
grains, however, may be made into
baking powder breeds and many OF
them can be substituted tor some Of
the wheat flour in making yeast
breads.
Breakfast foods should be chosen
carefully if economy is desired, since
the form in which the food is pur
chased largely determines tive cost.
Meals from which mus, Is may Be
made may BE obtained for f. ants
a pound, while special! prepared
grains cost up IS cents OF ey>N more
per pound. Eulk breakfast cereals,
such as oatmeal. commonly .ay be
purchased at lower prices than the
same kinds put up in cartons.
One way TO lessen the cost Of break,
fast foods is to buy whole grains from
a feed store and grind thcm rOarsely
in a coffee or other hand mill The
cracked grains, when sailed properly.
boiled thoroughly, and served with /
butter or sugar and cream or milk.

Enola Damage Case in
Court For Five Years

Carlisle, Pa, May Is. = A decision
by Judge Gillian, of Franklin county,
who specially presided in court here
for the case, is expected to settle the
long drawn-out suit of j. S. Bitner
against John Strickner, an action in
volving damages by drain water to
a property of the former which has
been in the local courts for nearly
five years. Both men are residents
of Enola. The prothonotary's costs
alone amount to over 5000.
Many cases were struck off the
list in the opening of the May term
of common pleas court yesterday.
Judge Sadler ruled that jurymen who
did not answer on the opening day
must give valid reasons for their
dereliction of duty. Judge Gillian
yesterday heard another of the cases
involving the Carlisle Deposit Bank
directors on which L. NJ. Biddle, Jr.,
is trying to secure n place and to-
day presided at the hearing of three
cases brought against rne New Cum

Destructive Fire Burns
Over Cove Mountain

Duncannon, Pa, May Is. - One
of the most destructive fires that has
ever burned in this district is still
raging on the upper half of the Cove
mountain horseshoe. The fire started
yesterday about ten o'clock and has
since spread rapidly over the entire
mountain, both on the Cove and
Duncannon sides. At midnight the
flames were close to the reservoir
that supplies Duncannon with water.
Reports that the Neal estate was
threatened were without foundation,
as the dam separates the farm from
the mountain on the one side and
on the other the mountain is several
miles away.
The timber burned was owned by
Duncan and Wills and the Duncan
non Iron Company and was of little
value. When the timber was taken
from the mountain several years ago
every tree that would make tooth
picks was cut and hundreds of cords
of wood piled up that have never
been removed. Since the cutting,
low underbrush has grown up and
made the mountain side tinder for a
forest fire, A small party of men
are fighting the fire, but little head
way has been made towards con-
quering il.
