Protein and It's Value.

Every farmer knows that nitrogen 10
one OF the chemical elements which
neither his crops nor his stock can do
without. The same Ia true Of nitrogen
In human food. It Is absolutely NEG
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 Gay, and
a 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.

COSTLY FOODS ARE
NOT ALWAYS BEST

The nutritive value of an ar
ticle of food and its 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

Every fly that this year contamin-
ates and destroys food or spreads ILL
ness is an enemy of America In even
greater degree than in the past. AS
a fly hunter, abiding to the tendency
of the insect to spread disease. ex-
pressed it recently, the fly is q verit-
able "Germ-Hun." Every fly de-
stroyed means a contribution, be it
ever so slight, to the cause of Amer
lea efficient.
The best time to swat the fly, of
course, is early in the breeding season,
before the young ones have become
grandparents. Flies killed in the
spring prevent hordes later on. But
it is a never-ending battle, and in
late July and early August vigilance
becomes more than ever necessary.
Work to kill flies even at this time
may prevent abundant reproduction
before cold weather. In fact, there is
no closed season in hunting flies. A
swat in any day of the year is
meritorious swat, and even fly buzz
ing around a window-pane in midwin-
prey.
Controlling the Fly.
Careful screening of windows and
doors during the summer months does
not decrease the number of flies, but
at least it lessons the danger of con-
tamination of food. This applies not
only to homes, but with equal force
to stores, restaurants, bakeries, dali
ries, and every. other place where food
is handled. Use of sticky fly papers
to destroy flies that have gained &C
cess to houses also Is well.known, and
f1y-poison preparations are common.
Many OF the commercial fiy poisons
contain arsenic. and their use in the
household is attended by considerable
danger. especially to children. This
danger, according to specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. is lessened by the use OF weak
solution OF formalin. An effective fly
poison Is made by adding three tea
spoonfuls of the commercial formalin
to a pint of milk or water sweetened
with q little brown sugar.
Flytraps may be used to advantage.
Their use has been advocated not only
because of immediate results, but be-
cause of the chances that the flies may
be caught before they lay their first
batch of eggs, thus reducing the NUM-
bers of future generations. Many
types of fly traps are on the market,
and as rule the larger ones are eff
fective. The United States department
of agriculture on request will send
directions for making fiytraps, not only
for household use, but for catching
flies and destroying eggs around sta
bles and other breeding places.
Preventive Measures.
Ely papers, poisons and traps at
best are only temporary expedients.
The most logical method of abating
the fly nuisance is the elimination or
treatment of all breeding places. 1t
would appear, specialists say, from
what is known of the life history and
habits of the common house fly that
It is perfectly feasible for cities and
