Protein and Its Value.

Every farmer knows that nitrogen is
one Of the chemical elements which
neither his crops nor his stock can do
without. The same is true Of nitrogen
in human food. 1t is absolutely nee
essary for the building and repair Of
body tissues and can be obtained only
from the food substance or nutrient
known as protein.
The foods usually classed as rich in
protein are milk, cheese, eggs, meat,
poultry and fish; dried legumes, such
as peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans
and peanuts. Wheat, oats and some
other cereals also furnish considerable
protein.
A man at moderate muscular work
is believed to need about three and
One-half ounces of protein a day, and
q family consisting Of father, mother
and three small children needs about
twelve ounces a day. Real economy
in the use Of protein foods lies not in
leaving them out of the diet, but in
choosing and combining kinds which
will supply the total amount needed
as cheaply as circumstances permit.

Too Much

You don't know Simon Trout?
No?
Well, he is common, ordinary NOR
tal like myself. Possessed of the same
little 'frailties and virtues that make
an otherwise uninteresting existence
possible.
Simon Trout is a business man, the
same as myself. After hours, in the
cafe, over a cup of Herr Schmidt's
hot coffee, we discuss life as we find
it.
do you know" Trout was saying,
that the world isn't the same any
more as it used to be-"
I nodded.
"No, sir, Klein, it isn't a bit the
same. Do, you know, L believe there
isn't half enough sunshine in the
world"
Now, as a matter of course, I was
extremely well aware that there are
times and places when a great many
people are perfectly satisfied with the
amount of sunshine in circulation, but,
as matter Of friendship, l agreed
with him that there was a woeful
dearth of sunshine.
mot half enough sunshine" I said.
II mean sunshine in peoples hearts.
Do you know, / think we. as rule,
are entirely too much taken up with
our own affairs We have no time
for sentiment, or beauty, or art, or

strong, but I agreed with him.

on DUTY Elsewhere.

An Irish soldier had just lost an eye
in battle, but was allowed to continue
in the service on consenting to have a
glass eye in its place, says an English
payer. One day, however, he appeared
on parade without his artificial eye.
Nolan" said the officer, ''you are
not properly dressed. Why is your ar
tificial eye not in its placer"
'Sure," replied Nolan, ST left it in
me box to keep an eye on me kit while
I'm on parade.''-Youth's Companion.

Barley Saves Wheat.

Not many years ago barley was used
more extensively than wheat for bread
making in many European countries.
Now it is coming into American favor
as wheat substitute.
Barley flour is very satisfactory for
hot breads. Try this recipe, tested
by government specialists, for barley
drop biscuits:
2 cupfuIs barley cupful Of milk
-four 4 tablespoonfuls fat.
III feaspoonfuls Of 6 teasp0onfuls bake
salt. ing powder.
Baked in a sheet this makes a good
shortcake.

COSTLY FOODS ARE
NOT ALWAYS BEST

The nutritive value of an ar
ticle of food and it's price sell
dom have any relation to each
other. An expensive cut of beef
is not necessarily any more sus-
tanning than a cheap one. 1t
usually tastes better or can be
cooked by easier methods. But
care in cooking and seasoning
will make inexpensive meats at
tractive and much better than
costly ones poorly prepared.
With fruits and vegetables
the price is often determined
by the season. A vegetable out
of season is much more expen-
sive than one in season, but it
is no more nutritive.

Sumatra. Tobacco Products. United

The inspiring cause OF the ad-

plungers are taking very little part
In the market and the ordinary pro-
fessional traders gre conservative.
There Is not much public interest.
The short interest is nominal. The
big buying f. by the very greatest

and Is based on the revolution that
has taken place in the government
Of the United States in regard to
the big business.

For the movement OF the tobacco
