The sleeping cars owned by the Pull

EAT CEREALS TO CUT H. C. L.
Americans Urged to Follow Example of
BritOns.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 23.--
Citizens OF Great Britain have solved
the high cost of living problcm-dis-
covered the secret of keeping well fed
and increasing their bank accounts at
the same time-according to DR.. Alonzo
N. Taylor, professor OF physiological
chemistry, University OF pennsylvania,
addressing the twenty-third annual con-
vention of the American Association OF
the Baking Industry here today.
Choice cuts of roast beef and other
expensive parts of the daily menu IN the
pre-war days are now enjoying little
popularity in the British Isles, DIR. Tay-
ior asserted. The people, he said, are
living on practically the same rations
"that won the war;" the only change being
the larger quantities. Thrifty citizens of
the isles cling to the ''habit" of war diet
that includes so per cent of cereals in their
menus, he observed.
Americans, Professor Taylor said, can
reduce the high cost of living by follow
ing the food principles that find such a
wide vogue in Great Britain, without
reducing their standards of health, be-
cause the food value of the cereals equals
that of the meats.
Eat more bread and watch the bank
account grow" was substantially the
slogan Professor Taylor urged. Bread
is the cheapest but most wholesome of
foods.
To meet the British standard, Ameri-
cans must increase their bread con-
sumption 80 per cent, he said, in response
to inquiries from the delegates.
