CONSIDER BOTH HEALTH
AND THE BANK ACCOUNT

In many American families meat
is eaten two or three times day;
IN such cases the simplest way OF
reducing the meat bill would very
likely be to cut down the amount
used either by serving it less often or
by using less at time.
Deficiency of prot..l need not be
feared when one good meat dish
day is served especially if such nj
trogenous materials as eggs, milk.
cheese and beans are used instead.
In localities where FISH can be OBJ
tanned fresh and cheap. it might well
be more frequently substituted for
meat for the sake OF variety as well
as economy. Ingenious cooks have
many ways of extending the favor"
OF meat, that is, OF combining a small
quantity with other materials to make
a large dish. as in meat pies, stews
and similar, dishes. j

are the utilization OF 1ef4-over portions
OF cooked meat; and the use OF the

The choice OF cuts should cores

the preferences of its members.
Careful consideration OF market con-
/ drtions is also useful not only to make
sure that the meat is handled and
marketed in a sanitary way, but also
to take advantage of any favorable
change in price which may be due,
Tor instance. to large local supply
OF some particular kind or cut of
meat.

RELIEF WORK STILL

tons Of the American commission for
relief in Belgium are proceeding as
usual The German action in ordering
Americans from the occupied terri
tories was SO promptly reversed that
the work was not interrupted.
The German authorities made no
attempt to detain the relief delegates
even when the order for their with
drawal was issued, anG every facility
was offered to ena1:e them to leave
the country without molestation.
The report that Brand Whitlock,
American minister to Belgium. had
been compelled to lower the Ameri-
can flag at Brussels, was received
here. but was not confirmed. and on
the lother hand news reaching relief
circles here from Brussels gives no
indications that Minister Whitlock
is not carrying on his usual functions.
The commission consented to the re-
versal of the German decision on the
definite understanding that its func-
TOMS and activities be continued I'm
restricted on the former basis. On
this assumption the control. of the
Americans over the relief operations
continues as heretofore and no
change will be made unless the pres
ence of the Americans is made i'm
possible by further German action.

WHY COAL IS SO HIGH

Atlanta. Ga, Feb 7.-That numer-
Gus factor besides the shortage of
cars have entered into the coal ia
mine now threatening Atlanta should
another cold wave come on the heels
of the recent succession of billiards
is the statement furnished to the COM
mission on car shortage in Washing
ton by President Charles A. Wick
ersham, of the General Managers As
ISOLATION OF the railroads of the south
east and concurred in by the Atlanta
Chamber OF Commerce after a thor
ough investigation of the situation.
Careful inquiry discloses:
First, that the scarcity OF foreign
and other labor at the mines has cur
tailed the output of coal;
Second, that the north and west are
buying unprecedented quantities Of
coal in the Allegheny district and pay
ing higher prices than southern deal,
ers. ST.
Third, that the recent extraordinary
cold weather in the South, extending
as far down as Florida, has caused ar
enormous and sudden increase in Goa
consumption in this territory.
By paying advanced prices, howev-
er, the Atlanta dealers have been able
to secure enough coal to make deliv.
ferries. and hence it seems certain that
the heavy consumption OF coal in the
north and west is principally respon-
sible for coal scarcity and high prices
