AMERICAN DIET CHANGING
Eat Eight Per Cent Less Meat Than
Twenty Years Ago

Whether it is because Of the increased
cost of meat or because peoples tastes
have changed, the fact remains that
Americans are eating 8 per cent. less meat
than they were 20 years ago. This is dis
closed in recent dietary survey made by
the United States department of
agriculture.
In this survey 1000 dietary records, each
covering a period of days, were collected
from ,425 families and 575 institutions in
46 states. Sixteen nationalities and many
occupations and incomes were represented,
as were also both urban and rural
locations.
From summary of 500 of these family
records il appears that last year the aver
age cost of food per man per day was as
cents, with an average return in food value
Of 1925 calories, 90 grams protein, is
grams fat. and 405 grams carbohydrate.
These figures are in fairly close accord
with the dietary standards ordinarily used
in discussing such problems of general
nutrition
A comparison of the foodstuffs pur-
chased by the 500 families with the
amounts of the same food purchased by
400 families about 20 years ago shows that
the amount of meat in the American diet
has decreased about per cent, and the
amount of grain products about II per cent
People are eating more milk, butter, and
cheese than they were two decades ago
for the amount Of dairy products consumed
has increased about 6 per cent. Four pei
cent. more vegetables and per cent more
fruit is being eaten now
Some Individual food habits undoubted
" need to be corrected, but, Judging b,
these studies, it seems fair to conclud
that the average diet SENS TO be adequate

success of the undertaking.
Crushed ripe tomatoes, water
melons, OF lines may be SUBJ
stituted for the lemons or or
anges, if necessary. In semi
arid regions water should be add
ed to the bait at the rate of4
gallons to 25 pounds of bran, as
in these climates the bait dries
out very rapidly and the extra
moisture is necessary in order
to attract the grasshoppers. 10
pounds of the mixture should be
estimated per acre.
The Criddle Mixture.
Fresh horse droppings, one
half barrel; Paris green, l
pound; finely chopped oranges
or lemons, 6 to 8 fruits; water
sufficient to make a moist but
not sloppy mash. This bait
must be mixed thoroughly be-
fore being distributed, and as
most people object to handling
this mixture with the bare
hands, pair of cheap rubber
gloves or a small wooden paddle
may be used for the purpose.
Both the poisoned-bran bait and
the modified Criddle mixture are
distributed over the invested
fields by sowing broadcast, eth
er on foot or from a light wagon
or buggy.
In applyin" the poisoned bait
in orchards, care must be taken
to advoid distributing it close to
the trees, because severe injury
to fruit trees occasionally results
from heavy applications of ar
senicals.
Proper time of day for applying
the Poisoned Bats.
The time of day chosen for
distributing the poisoned bats
has an important bearing upon
the results secured. In semial'id
regions the bait should be distri-
buted in late afternoon or early
evening, just before the grass
hoppers ascend the plants ON
which they usually pass the
night. Apparently they are
hungry and thirsty at this time
and greedy take the bait if it is
available. In the moister por-
tions of the country, such as
New England and Florida, the
bait is best applied in the early
morning. Do not be discour-
aged if the grasshoppers do not
drop dead Immediately upon eat
in" the poison as it usually takes
I "a hours or more for the full ef-
feet of the bats to become
apparent.

NEW IMMIGRATION RECORD.

Familiar conditions before the war are brought
to mind by the announcement that all immigration
records since the conflict were broken at Ellis
Island last week. Arrivals for the days totaed
1891, compared with an average of more than
$4,000 a week in 1907.
Renewal of the rush from Europe to this country
shows that the United States holds unbroken its
position as the land of opportunity. However, this
rush should find Americans critical than usual
While still maintaining the attitude OF sharing op-
nortunitv with the worthy-those who come here in
good faith from other countries with minds made
I'D to become American citizens and having qualities
for it-experence with number of ingrates during
the war and since not only justifes, but demands
strictest examination of all who come now.
We are inclined to believe that "breaking OF
immigration records" will not appeal as strongly
to this country as formerly. Just now the big
thing is to Americanize the aliens we have.

FARM BUREAU STARTS
BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

At a recent meeting Of the execu-

Farm Bureau Federation it was de-
cided to establish a bureau of tnves-
tigation as u part of the program OF
the County Farm Bureau and State
Federation.
The purpose OF thic bureau will
be to investigate and obtain informa-
ton Of all enterprises for which the
sale of stock is being pushed among
farmers Of this state. 1t will also
be the purpose to investigate and
eliminate any and all pure bred live
stock selling schemes which are not
operating on basis to the best inter-

breeder. Promotion schemes not un-

"MOsT BEAUTIFUL" MYTH.

Again the "most beautiful women" contest al
fronts the public intelligence Not long ago
theatrical manager proclaimed that he would have
as a feature of his show the "most beautiful girls
in America Now it is photographer from England
who announces his intention to aim his camera at
"the five most beautiful women" in our nation.
In either case, if those having wide-open mouth
in making this blatant assertion will close it enough
to see over it, they might at least point out their
route of inspection. indicating how they propose
to enter the homes of about 100000 voting
daughters and millions not yet OF voting age to
select the "most beautiful"
Also the British photographer might JOIN the
Broadway showmen in explaining the offensive as
sumption that it accords with the most beautiful
American women's sense of the proprieties to be
exhibited as a public sight.
When you see young blood prancing along the
street with red one in his buttonhole and poetic
smile on his face you may know he is just below

TEACHING YOUTH.

It NAV be conceded that there is room for great
differences of opinion touching the most enec1iVe
teaching methods. Very few persons will attempt
tn denv that the school teacher of the present day
will help to form the government OF seVenty-hVe
wears from now through the intelligence and
efficiency of the plan of instructing youth that Is
adopted and carried out. Believing that we wonder
what sort of citizenship and government this coun-
trv would have seventy-fve years hence were some
of the conclusions of Dr. David Snedden OF the
Teachers College, Columbia university, adopted
Dr. Snedden asserts that "the time is coming when
compulsory oral reading, oral spelling and oral
arithmetic will be thing Of the past for the pupil
who is beyond the third grade; after that these
subjects will be elective" This followed state
ment that "the student of the future will have
to be able to spell only $500 words, all that are
day."
Twenty-Five hundred may be enough, but no
matter what the number decided upon as the mini
mum requirement, the student should "know' them.
If he can get them before entering the fourth
grade we'll and good So with the other studies
mentioned What of the boys and girls
coming out of the public schools out Of high schools
and colleges even, does not impress confidence that
by present methods they get more training than
is necessary for them.
Further, we have been of the opinion that teach
ing was something than helping children to
know what they might inquire about. The old
fashioned idea, which ought to die very hard, is
that teaching is instruction in those things which
experience has proved that pupils should know
about for their and society's welfare Could
have educated people if the school children's
