How TO Plan Without Reducing
Nutritive Value of Food. and at
the Same Time Lower the Cost

HOUSEWIVES in many cases can
reduce the cost of supplying
their tables without reducing the
nutritive value Of the food served by
giving more thought than usually IS
given to the selection, preparation and
combination of foods. In fact, where
carelessness has been the rule land
carelessness is not related TO the size
of the income) the specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture say careful planning may make
possible both a reduction of cost and
an increase in nutritiyeness and pala-
liability as well as help the country
at this serious time in our history.
IL any changes are to be brought
about in the menu To which family
has been accustomed, however, by
eliminating certain articles or substi-
tuting less expensive ones, care should
be taken that the resulting diet is ra-
tional-that is, that Z does not.contain.

Should Eat a Variety.

In general, habit and custom, shaped
by normal appetites, have led TO the
general adoption of adequate and va
ried diets in most families where the
means are sufficient for any range of
choice. Thus when meat, a food rich
in nitrogen, is eaten, potato. rice, bread
or some other starchy food and fruits
and vegetables and perhaps foods of
the other types usually are served with
it. If persons food habits are good
he will eat a reasonable quantity of
all the foods provided and obtain a
varied meal and not a one sided one,
as might otherwise he the case.
The list of foods given at the end of
this article are intended to show differ
ent types of food and different exam
pies of each type. If the foods COM
bined in the diet are chosen according
TO these types-that is, according to
the purpose each group serves in the
body-and are eaten in proper proper
ton, the meals will furnish all the
kinds of nourishing elements which
the body needs. The five types or
groups are.
