FLAVOR Of FOOD

BY MOST COOKS
Electric Cooker ConserVes
Values That Otherwise Go
"Up the Chimney"

Henry T. Finck, who has been
called Americas most noted epicuie,
estimates that from one.half to
nine.tenths of the average person s
food allowance is spent for flavor.
DIR. J. l.. Henderson and DR.. Gra-
ham Lusk, of Cornell, he points
out, have demonstrated that a dime
day is enough to keep body and
soul together, and what more we
spend goes chiefly for flavor. But
without flavor, he contends, app
titcs would not be stimulated, m"a's =
would not be enjoyable, and di
gestion would be decidedly impair
ed.
In our methods OF cooking W"
should take more pains to conserve
this valuable factor. Often the eX'
pensive flavor in vegetables ar"
wastefully drained away. The
piquancy of meats is dissipatcd
throughout the whole house. W.
cook away" the enjoyable part
of the food, the part which mul'
tiplies many-fold its nutritive value.
But where the electric oven. or
the electric fireless cooker is en-
ployed. this difficulty Vanishes. us

every bit of the f.avorous part
Of foods-without which the nutri'
tive part would be an indigestlb'c

cents OF every dollar which YOU
spend for flavor, cook the electric
way.

ELECTRIC CURRENT USED
TO KEEP FODDER GREEN

Experiments are being made
abroad with an electrical mcthcd
of keeping fodder green for IA
period Of some months. An alter
mating current Of high voltage Is
run through the stalks which
kills the bacteria which would
cause decay. The charge is con.
tinurd for three or four days, the
current gradually rising. and it Is
claimed that after the use OF this
process the fodder will keep fresh
FOR a long period.
The cXperimentors estimate that
tho use OF such electric silOs
will raise the energy consumption
of cultivated land to four times
its ordinary value.

Horse Association Acts
to Preserve Public Roads

The Horse Association of America has
camped Son the trail Of the motor truck
used in the business Of transporting
freight and passengers over the public
highways for profit. A letter on the
subject was sent to every candidate for
the Legislature this year in eighteen
States saying the taxpayers as whole
re-entitled to have part of their burden
for road tax shifted to those receiving
profit from the use Of the highways so
that the contribution of motor truck
owners for road upkeep will be raised in
proportion to the expense created by
them.
The Public Utilities Commission Of
Colorado recently analyzed this matter
in denying a permit to establish a motor
bus line in that State. The applicant
wanted to operate only in the summer
when he could count on the minimum
Of cost and the maximum of profit,
using a highway fifteen miles long that
cost $500. 900 to build. The hard headed
ommissioners--Grant E. Halderman. a.
P. Anderson and +. p. Lafnon-found
that all the motor trucks in the district
paid only 1919 in taxes for the main
tenance OF this road. while the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad paid $SS,023
for the same purpose, though 1t did not
use the roads at all. On the contrary, IT
had to maintain its own road to COM
pete with the motor trucks using State
roads.
In making their decision the Commis-
sioners found that under weather com
dtions producing softened roadbeds the
passage Of a single loaded truck will do
greater damage to highway than
would the passage Of hundreds of ordi-
nary cars.
