WHAT DOES A "CAL0RE "MEAN?
HERE IS THE ANSWER, SIMPLY TOLD

by our food fuel. In order to make
sure that we are stocking our body
engine rightly we must be able to
say both how much energy our food
yields called its fuel or energy val
ue) and how much energy our bodies
use. This is where the calories come
in, for we can measure both food
energy and body energy in calories.
Facts Simpi6ed
How scientists have learned to do
this is a really wonderful story in
which famous men all over the world
have been playing their parts for a
century, marvelously accurate appar-
atus has been developed and all sorts
of interesting facts have been dis
covered. Thanks to it all, the scien-
lists now really know what are the
energy values of our common foods
and what are the energy needs of all
sorts and conditions of men. And,
best of all, they know these formerly
mysterious things so well that they
can make them of practical use to
plain, everyday people who don't I'M
derstand much about science.
Heat and calories are sometimes
measured in other ways than by cal
cries, just as weight is measured in
Kilograms instead of pounds, and
length in meters instead of yards.
In questions of engine fuel another
and larger unit called the British
thermal unit, is usually more owen
lent than the c%alorie, while in deal
ing with some types of mechanical
work the unit called the foot-ton is
often used. But for questions of
human food and body energy the
calorie is almost universally chosen
as the most satisfactory measure.
Sometimes when the material meas
lred yields so many calories that we
to discuss them in tens of thou
sands, the 100-calorie portion is used
instead, just as dollars are used in
of cents in reckoning prices.
This %100-calorie portion means sim +,
,ly the amount of given food which !,
would yield 100 calories of energy. !
Thus we find that the sentence at
he beginning of this story really
.oes mean something. 1t means that
he family described in it probably :
ses up body energy at the rate of :
bout $4,000 calories a day and :
eeds food fuel of the same energy :

(From Jan. Farm Bureau Bulletin)
A record that will interest Farm
Bureau readers throughout the
county, and one that should open
the eyes of a good many concerning
the Importance of cows and chickens,
is that kept by Mrs. Ed. Eskildsen,
Malta, during the months of April,
May, June and July. Actual rec
ords are always of interest and for
this reason we publish the record be-
low:
Mrs. Eskildsen has 80 barred rock
hens; from these she raised 20 chicks
supplied a family of three with eggs,
and in addition to this, sold the fol
lowing amounts.
April, 799 eggs sold at 3Oc and
35c per dozen, $16.35.
May, SAG eggs sold at Soc and
40c per dozen, S22.35.
June, 1872 eggs, sold at S5c and
4Oc per dozen, $3.50.
July, 634 eggs, sold at 35c and
40c per dozen, $3.50.
For May, June July and August,
she gives the following record for
two cows: Fed skim milk to two
calves, supported a family of three
with milk, butter and cream, and
sold the following amounts of butter:
May. S6.4O; June, $500; July,
$11.63; August, S16.85.
This makes an average Of $28.81
per month for thirty chickens and
two cows, in addition to what is re-
to feed a family of three, be-
sides raising 20 chicks and producing
enough skim milk to feed two calves.
These figures are, no doubt, very
interesting, and prove what can be

which is better. If you have, send

HOW HOUSEWIFE CAN FIGURE
OUT CHEAPEST FUEL
FOR THE BODY
Tables Prepared by Department of
Agriculture Furnish Way of
Computing Food Values

"a family consisting of father,
mother, and three children requires
about a hundred and twenty 100
~calorie portions for an adequate
daily diet"
How much would that have meant
to the average housekeeper 10 years
ago? She probably could not have
told whether calories were Islands
or canned goods" as Mr.. Dooley said
of the Philippines. Lately, however,
they have been talked and written
about so much that she at least has
a vague notion that they are in some
way connected with the value of
food to the body and that the more
calories she can provide for her fam
lily, the better it will be nourished.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has recently published
some tables which make it easier for
her to count the calories" as well
as the cost of the food she buys. She
can use such tables without knowing
anything more about calories, just
as she can use electric light without
understanding the kilowatt hours
that appear in the monthly bill, but
calories are neither so mysterious nor
so complicated that she cannot easily
understand what they are.
The word calorie comes from
"calor," a Latin word meaning heat.
A calorie is a unit for measuring
quantities of heat just as a yard is
a unit for measuring length or a
pound for weight. Roughly, a cal
orie equals the amount of heat re-
quired to raise the temperature of
a pound of water 4 degrees F.
Heat and Energy Similar
But that isn't the whole story.
What we call heat and what we call
energy are really different forms of
the same force. The heat of the sun,
the strength of the winds, the
warmth from the fire, the pressure
Of the expanding steam or exploding
gas in the engine, even the flowing ]
in the plant and the contraction '
If the muscles in our bodies-all
,hese are due to the same universal
energy showing itself in different
ways. Coal is made up of substances :
leld together by this same energy, !
md so is gasoline or any other kind :.
# fuel. When the fuel is burned, !
he energy is set free in the form of !
leat which in its turn may become ,
he force that drives the machine. '
n this last form we call it mechan- !
cal energy, and we know that a given l
mount of heat will yield an equiv =
lent amount of mechanical energy. u
'hus our calorie may represent
ither enough heat to raise the tenn :"
erature of one pound of water 4 Il
egrees F. or enough mechanical 4
to lift one ton about liz feet. =
Now, food is fuel for our bodies y
nd the energy stored in it can be d
eleased in the body and used for 2
it warm or for the work of y"
lie muscles, much as gasoline is re-
.ased and consumed in the motor.
he more we exercise our muscles n,
lie more mechanical energy we re- tt
ase and the more must be provided ly

If some great act of heroism was

only necessary to keep at hand a

are many who neglect it. Chamber

Here's an Example

To illustrate: Suppose the market
mar tells her that sirloin steak is
so cents a pound. She writes $50"
opposite sirloin steak in the third col
umn. Then she looks in the second
column and finds, opposite sirloin
steak, 40 per pound" She divides
so by 10. The quotient is 5. Five
cents, therefore, is the price of a 100
calorie portion Of sirloin steak. In
exactly the same way she can find
the cost per 1~O0-calorie portion of
any food. And what is more, if she
in the habit of thinking in 100
calorie portions as well as in pounds
and bushels, she will very soon know
how much such a portion of steak or
or macaroni represents, and

Choosing Cheap Fuel

Body fuel, like other kinds of fuel,
costs money, and the problem is to
get the amount needed for the small
est sum possible, which means choos-
ing food rather carefully. A man
running a sawmill in the cypress
swamps of Louisiana or the Michigan
woods would have to pay a lot of
money for enough anthracite coal to
run his steam engine, but he can
take fuel from the sawdust heap and
the slab-pile, and so save money.
Much the same situation exists
with regard to the fuel for the
human engine. If our family of
five bought it's 100 1~00-calorie
portions all in sirloin steak at so
cents a pound the cost would be Sc
a day. If it bought them all in white
potatoes at $3.50 a bushel the cost
would be only $1.2O a day.
How to Use Calorie Tables
Other things than body fuel are
necessary in human food. Not all of
the necessary body fuel may be safe
ly be taken from potatoes, nor yet

all Of it from beefsteak. Scientific
Investigations have shown that of the
100 100-calorie portions necessary
for the family of five, about "a
should come from vegetables and
fruits, SO from milk eggs, and meat,
80 from cereals and legumes, II
from sugar and sugary foods, and IS
from fats and fatty foods, If these
amounts are used as a guide in plan
ming the meals of a healthy family
there is little need to worry about
their getting the right kinds and
quantities of foods.
Now a 10O-calorie portion of some
meats costs a good deal more than a
100-calorie portion of other meats.
This is the case, too, with vegetables
and fruits, cereals, fats and sweets.
The cheapest food per pound is not
always the cheapest food per 100
calorie portion. In this day of high
prices the housewife is interested in
knowing what foods that will ade-
quately feed the family can be
bought cheapest-fgured on a sus-
tenance basis rather than on a pound
or pint basis. And that is what the
tables prepared by the Department
of Agriculture do for her.
By using the tables, she can deter
mine the price of a 1%00-portion cal
orie of a particular food. All she has
to do is to insert the price per pound
or bushel at the proper place in the
third column and divide it by the
corresponding figure in the second
column.

The price of soda fountain prod
uots took hike the first of the week,
likewise the prices charged by the
cleaners and pressers. These two
lines have been about the only
things that have not advanced be-
fore, but the climbing. costs made an
increase necessary. We note that the
increase did not seem to hurt the
business of either line, as most folks
realized that an increase in price was
coming to them.
