CHEESE NOT HARD TO DIGEST
Commonly Regarded as an Appetizer
and Seasoning--Very Satisfactory
Meat Substitute.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture0
Cheese is commonly regarded as an
appetizer and seasoning for other
foods, but ii is also a very satisfactory
substitute for meat. II is rich in pro
TEN and energy and contrary TO pre-
valling impression, It is easily digested
Extensive digestion experiments car
ried on by the department Of agricul-
ture have demonstrated that more
than % per cent of the protein Of
cheese is digestible and 90 per cent
Of its energy is available. As compared
with meat II has advantage Of being
able to keep long In storage and con
tains much food In n small volume.
A pound Of cheese supplies more than
twice as much energy rs pound Of
fowl or round steak, aud almost twice
as much protein rs the same amount
of fowl or ham. Cheese therefore, IS
usually cheaper food than the meats.

The so-called egg substitutes which
under various trade names are being
sold to housewives will in no sense
take the place of eggs in baking or
cooking, say the specialists of the
bureau of chemistry, United States
department of agriculture. They have
analysed and made baking tests with
most of the preparations which are
claimed by manufacturers to do the
work of eggs.
These preparations are sold usually
In small packages containing from
one to four ounces and priced at from
10 to 35 cents package. 1t is
claimed that each package will take
the place of from II to As eggs, If
these preparations would take the
place of or do the work of even one
dozen eggs, their purchase Would help
to reduce the high cost of living, but
unfortunately for those who are mis-
led by the alluring claims on the labels
or in advertisements, they do not DO
the work of eggs in baking or cook
ing.
Price Is Excessive.
The average price paid by the con-
sumer for the so-called egg substi-
tutes is approximately 6 cents an
ounce or at the rate of about 81
pound. Since these products consist
essentially of starch or powdered
cereal product such as wheat flour,
sometimes artifcially colored yellow
to initiate the appearance of eggs,
the consumer pays a price far in eN-
cess of their food value or intrinsic
worth.
Baking tests showed that cakes
