f.We, will start the year Of 1922-23
with a deficit Of $500 100000" said
Mr.. Houston. I'VE face, in addition.
the fact that many sources of revenue
arc declining so we will have to look
around for new sources to tap without
placing greater burdens on the treas

raced the engine and let he clutch
out TO get n quick pickup.

myself In the doorway OF the grocery

MILK AND MEAT AS RIVALS
Rising Prices May Yet Force People to
Turn TO the Fluid 10 Sus-
tain Life.

As the price Of meat scars upward.
many people are forced TO be part

ton, us meat essential TO human we'll
belng3" arises again. The commit
tee on food and nutrition OF the Ma
tional Research council has issued m
Interesting report on the relative value
Of meat and milk.
Eighteen per cent OF the protein and
energy Of grain used In feeding a COW
goes into the milk, and Is therefore
recovered for human consumption;
whereas only 3h per cent Is recov-
cred In beef. As for the mineral ele-
ments In hay and grain, not much IL
stored in the tissues, but a great
amount goes into milk.

pressed public may decide to let milk
