Daily Food Needs of a
Man at Muscular Work

According to a recent bulletin of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, the following combinations indi-
cate the daily food requirements for n
man doing muscular work: al
One and one quarter pounds of bread,
having about the same food value as Il
pound of such cereal preparations as
wheat or rye -four, oatmeal, cornmeal,
rice. etc. re ut
Two ounces, or one-quarter cupful. of
butter, oil, meat drippings or other fat;
two ounces, or one-quarter cupful, of
sugar or one-third cupful of honey or
sirup or an equivalent amount Of other
sweet.
One and one-quarter pounds of food
from the following: Fresh fruits and
fresh or root vegetables.
Twelve ounces of food from class
which may be called meats and meat
substitutes "-thdt is. moderately fat
meats, poultry. fish, eggs, cheese. dried
legumes deans, SOY beans, peas, len
ills, cowpeas and peanutsj. Milk also
belongs among these foods, but be
cause OF the large amount Of water il
contains half glass, or four ounces,
Of it would be required 10 equal III
ounce Of any one of the others.
A man who works hnrd ont OF doors
all day probably would need more food
than this. and one who sits all day at
his desk would need less.

Much More City Property
Sold This Year Than in
1916 Not a Modern
House Vacant.
Active Demand for Farms
and Suburban Tracts
Low Prices and Nearness
to States Leading City
Attract Buyers.
BY WALTER E. PIERCE.


Real estate conditions in and around
Boise are improving rapidly and the
prospects for an active 1918 season
are good.
In city property there was far more
activity than during the preceding
year. although the local realty mark ct
has been dull. To illustrate: One
firm sold seven modern residences.
whereas last year there was practi-
cally no movement in that direction.
Other firms have also made city sales
during the past year that in 1916 did
practically nothing in urban deals.
Farm and suburban tracts have been
IN good demand. One firm sold 16
farms and six suburbans and all real
estate dealers report a good business
In those classes of property.
The price of farm and suburban
tracts around Boise are lower than
elsewhere, fact that has attracted
many buyers.
The general conditions in Boise are
reflected in the fact that there is not
q desirable modern house that is va
cant and less desirable places are be-
ing taken. There are but few vacant
business locations.
