needed that will take into account
round steaks with only 5 per cent fat

so per cent. To this end new figures

is likely to provide several starchy foods,
several animal protein foods. and sew
eral fat foods, whereas each require
ment of the body may be satisfied by
one or, at most, two foods. II there
is too much starch. the food is apt TO

The Government nutrition experts
believe that with the wide range OF
foods which are available to the Amer
lean housewife, there are many combi
nations which meet both the demands
of the body and of taste. Much Of their
activities have been devoted to the
preparation of recipes and menus
which satisfy these requirements, copies
of which may be obtained from the
Bureau of Home Economics, Washing
ton. D. c. The demand for this type
of information has become so general
that an imaginary radio character
known as Aunt Sammy" has been
created by the department, who broad
casts her cookery advice from nearly
100 broadcast stations over the country.
The so-called vegetable plate" has
received attention IN the Government
food kitchens in view Of the greatly in
creased consumption Of fruits and vege-
tables in recent years. The vegetable
meal, say the experts. must provide the
same variety of favors and textures as
the more usual meal Of vegetables and
meat. A good favor combination Is one
mild-favored vegetable such as po-
tatoes or Lima beans; one vegetable of
pronounced favor like caulifiower. cab
bage or onions: and one which is either
sour itself or which. like spinach or
beets, Is ordinarily served with vinegar.
Variety in texture is obtained by hav-
ing one vegetable with a crisp crust
like corn fritters or scalloped tomatoes
with a layer OF well Drowned crumbs:
second vegetable served with white
sauce, and a third simply cooked in
water. as peas or string beans are usu-
ally cooked. A raw vegetable. such as
celery or radishes, lends still further
variety.
Protein must be present on the
vegetable plate in the form OF
either beans or peas. or vegetable

much about the composition Of foods.
The average person was satisfied II the
food that appeared on his table three
times a day tasted good and kept him
from being hungry between meals.
But times have changed. Galleries,
protein, carbohydrates, iron and call
cium are household words applied TO
foods. Everybody Is trying to eat the
proper number of calories and to be
sure that he is getting enough iron 10
make red blood and enough calcium to
build bones and teeth. The tables on
food composition issued IS years ago by
the Department Of Agriculture are still
the best answer TO some Of the ques-
tions raised. Many new facts have
come to light since these tables were
published. however. and the Bureau OF
Home Economics is now bringing these
food figures UP to date.
Foods vary great deal more In
what they contain than even the scien-
lists used to think. Milk Is not just
milk. Every dairy farmer knows what
difference even per cent OF butter
fat will make in his creamery check at
the end Of the month. He knows also
only too well that every COW in the
herd cannot be relied on TO give milk
of a certain standard. So 1t Is with
apples. onions. pork, beef. poultry and
all the other foods raised on the farm
and many prepared in factories. They
may differ widely In the food elements
they contain.
These differences may count just as
much in food value as the change in
butterfat in milk does In dollars and
cents 1t is not possible TO say that a
pound OF beef or OF cheese or other
food contains so many calories. SO much
protein and all the rest without know
ing more about that particular piece OF
beef or cheese.
Meat Is one Of the hardest foods on
which to make general statements
about composition. 1t is not difficult 10
see why the carcass OF a very thin
steer. for example. that would have
sold as common must be entirely Diff
ferent In its makeup from one that
came from well fattened animal that
would have been graded good or

basis with the fat one. the thin carcass
might have nearly twice as much bon,
and Its edible portion only about one
