the problem of how to divide the
food dollar so that their families
are well fed. We find vountless
people who continue with the food
buying practices they used when
meat prices were more reasonable.
These people must cut financial
corners elsewhere.
The first fault lies in the home
makers limited knowledge of
meat. Steaks, and particularly
round steak, and chops head the
list of cuts demanded by American
homemakers. This results in a
great deal of the animal carcass
there is little demand.
This column would find it i'm
possible to change marketing prac-
tices in meat, but we can offer a
way to keep your family well fed
and reduce prices somewhat.
We have always been in favor
of adequate protein and recognize
that one-half of this should come
from animal sources. But animal
sources are not meat alone. Milk,
cheese, fish and eggs are excellent
sources of animal protein at less
cost than meat. Milk and vege-
table proteins such as dried beans,
peas, and peanut butter may well
make up the protein allowance at
breakfast and lunch. Many fami-
lies will enjoy Welsh rabbit, cheese
souffle, or macaroni and cheese for
dinner. Some fish may be purchas-
ed more economically than meat.
These are the contributions OF
some popular protein foods listed
in average servings.
Cheese, 2 o., 1870 grams; eggs
1, 6.3 grams; milk whole, 8 o., 81
grams; milk SKINNED, 8 o., 8.2
grams; peanut butter, u cup, zoo
grams; haddock, 1 average serving,
17.2 grams; round steak, u lb.
22.1 grams; dried beans cooked, /
cup, 1876 grams; dried peas cooked
Y cup, 1871 grams.
The protein allowance for mer
is 70 grams, for women go grams
The amounts for children vary
from 40 grams at one to three
years to 100 grams for boys six
teen to twenty. From this you may
determine the protein adequacy Of
your family's meals.

In Current Series

gence officer serving in the Japan
ese war area. He can also speak
with authority on the latest devel-
opments in modern warfare and
weapons, which he describes as be-
ing of a biological, meteorological,

NO Immediate
CRISIS IN COAL
FOR HOMES HERE
Situation Here Shows no Turn
for Worse Despite Gloomy
National Picture
Additional Shipments of Coal
During Past Week Bolsters
Supply Locally

Additional coal shipments received
during the past week by local deal
ers have served to bolster Bluffton's
coal situation which has been serious
for the last ten days.
While several cars of coal received
here over the week end have not
been sufficient to end the emergency,
nevertheless the overall situation loc-
ally is no more critical than it has
been, which is viewed as encourag-
ing in the face of a steadily de-
teriorating condition nationally be-
cause of the strike-ridden mining
operations.
Continued fairly mild winter
weather is doing much to prevent a
crisis, dealers pointed out and total
stocks now, estimated at somewhat
in excess of $50 tons are held suffi-
cient for all immediate needs.
A scale of rationing, however, will
be continued in order to spread the
existing supplies with deliveries to
patrons limited to one and two-ton
loads.
Local industries have sufficient
supplies of coal on hand for their
immediate requirements, it was in
dicated the first of the week.
