INTERCHANGEABLE FOODS.

Let Cost Determine What Source of , Starch to Um—Potatoes as a ,z Source of Starch. Rice, wheat, and corn, the common starch foods eaten in the mixed diet usual in most'families, are relied on mainly as sources of energy to the body, and have about the same value, pound for pound. Therefore if rice, wheat flour, cracked wheat, corn meal or hominy cost the same per pound, they are equally cheap fuel foods. -Such foods, therefore, can be freely Interchanged if foods like meat, milk, eggs, qr beans and fruits or vegetables are eaten also. 1 Most wheat breakfast foods and wheat pastes, like macaroni or spaghetti, also have about the same energy value as wheat flour, corn and rice. They differ very much in appearance and also in bulk, according to the method of manufacture, and the cost can not be judged merely by the size of the package to be obtained for 5 or 10 cents. Now that the law requires net weight to be marked on the outside of every packhge, it is easy to reckon how much the food material actually costs a pound. Thus if the net weight of a 10-cent package of breakfast food is 8 ounces, a pound, or 16 ounces, would cost 20 cents.

As a general rule —and very justly —the simpler preparations, which it has taken less time and labor to put up, cost less than the more elaborate ones. Those sold in bulk usually cost less than those sold in cartons. Each housekeeper must decide whether the variety and convenience of the more expensive kinds compensates for the extra cost In any case before she can choose wisely she must have reckoned how much the package goods cost per pound. Leaving aside cost of preparation and comparing rice with ready-made wheat bread, it appears that rice at 7 cents a pound is about as cheap a source of body fuel as bread at 5 cents a pound. If bread costs 8 cents a pound, rice costing up to 10 cents a pound is a cheaper source of energy. Bread costing 9 cents a pound would furnish energy as cheaply as at 12 cents a pound: • Corn bread usually costs much less per pound than wheat bread, and so furnishes energy at a still lower co|t in the . above comparison than wheat bread.

A pound of potatoes yields hardly one-fifth as much body energy as a pound of rice, cornmeal, or wheat. This is partly because they are much more watery and partly because a largo proportion is discarded with the skins. Part of this loss is inevitable because the skin itself is not usually considered good to eat; but the more carelessly potatoes are pared, the more of the valuable edible substance goes with the skin. A bushel of potatoes weighs 60 pounds, a peck 15 pounds. When potatoes are selling at 51.20 a bushel, or 30 cents a peck, they therefore cost 2 cents a pound. If their value is one-fifth that of rice, they furnish fuel at about the same cost as rice at 10 cents a pound and at about twice the cost of‘com meal or hominy at 5 cents a pound. When potatoes cost >2.40 a bushel, or 60 cents a peck, they are about twice' as expensive as sources of fuel as rice at 10 cents, and four times as expensive as com meal or hominy at 5 cents a pound. These comparraons show that, merely for providing fuel, potatoes are often more expensive than rice, and practically always more expensive than com meal or hominy. As was pointed out above potatoes often are relied on not merely as a Source of fuel, but also a's a source of some of the mineral matters needed by the body. They are usually among the most economical of the vegetables which serve this second purpose, because they supply a generous amount of energy as well as the building materials.

LIME IS NOT APPLIED AS FOOD FOR PLANTS.

Lime is not an important direct food for plants, but its chief functions in the soil are to neutralize acidity and to promote bacterial activities. Leaching is the greatest source of loss of lime from. soil. Crops of corn, oats, wheat, clover and timothy in a five-year rotation at the Agricultural Experiment Station at Wooster on land receiving complete fertilizer and liine removed only about 106 pounds of calcium per acre in this time. To furnish this calcium in the plants only 265 pounds of limestone would be needed in five years. Applications of two tons of ground limestone, however, have been profitable on the Experiment Station farm. The lime is needed to correct acidity in the soil and to make conditions otherwise favordble for crops to thrive besides adding a small amount of calcium as plant food. Leaching causes the greatest loss of carbonates and basic calcium from the soil, experiments at the Station have proved. Applications of one to two tons of limestone are therefore needed about every five years on land deficient in limestone. The early American colonies made several attempts To grow alfalfa, but without great success. George Washington grew trial plats of alfalfa on his Virginia farm, and Thomas Jefferson gave considerable attention and care to its cultivation. Their efforts, however, proved unsatisfactory, since they did not understand all of the requirements for the successful growth of the plant The Bureau of Soil* is cooperating with cement mills, blast furnaces, and wool scourers with the object of enabling them to recover potash as a by product wherever this proven to be commercially feasible. j

F. McCOLLY NOT CAPTURED; ONLY INJURY TO KNEE

American Expeditionary Forces, October 19, 1918. My Dear Mother: — I received your most welcome letter of Sept. 30th. Was sure glad to get it. lam sorry you have not received any of my letters, as I have written every week and sometimes two or three times. I also send you the paper every week. Do you get it? I will continue to write to you every week. I received your first letter to the Garden Service in fifteen days, this one in twenty. Tell George Hohn not to be surprised if he sees me drifting in some time between now and 1828. lam sorry to hear Floyd has been sick. My knee is about the same as ever, but my nose arid ears are • just as good as ever, although I can still hear the roar of the cannon. If you believe all you hear you will not last very long; don’t let any-body-tell you that I have lost any part of my body or that I was captured by the Germans, because I was not even close enough to get captured. I am in the Field Artillery. I don’t go right in the enemy’s front lines, but I would if I could. And as fpr my whole self, I am all together yet, thank God for that. But I have to walk with a cane and I have to wear glasses, too, outside -of that I am all right, so don’t worry if somebody tells you lam not altogether. lam not going to the front any more, so there is no chance for the Germans to get at me. They have got lots of things about me around through that country that never happened to me, and I don’t think will happen in this war. I am feeling as well as my circumstances will permit. I will close for this time and write Floyd a letter, hoping this finds you well. Good-bye. Your affectionate son, FORD E. McCOLLY. October 19, 1918. Dear Brother: — I received your most welcome letter today. Was sure glad you took a notion to write as I like to hear from you just as. well as from the rest ofthe family. I am sorry to hear of you being sick. I hope you are alright again by now. I gather from your letter that the boys around town scrap just as ever. I imagine that the boys you named in your letter would be too much for one of your size, but maybe you have someone to help you when you get in a scrap. You had better go easy because your brother that used to help you out is a long ways from you now. You guessed right, my knee is very sore most of.«the time. lam sorry to say that I can not send you any souvenirs from the battle field, but I will bring some to you when I come home, and I don t think that will be very long to wait, so do not get in a hurry, Fll bet the old town is changed some by now. I ■ sure would like to be ‘back in the old town just now. I would like to see what things look like. How would you like to see me come in some of these days? Are there any nice girls around there that are not marry ed yet; if not, I guess I’ll have to bring a nice French girl home with me. I There sure are some nice ones in this country. Well, I must close for this time, hoping you are well. Good-bye. „ Your brother, •

REASON FOR DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT

A very prominent south end Democratic physician is reported to have given as his explanation for the late Republics nlandslide, that all the Germans and pro-Germans voted the Republics nticket. There as a world of difference between the loyal citiizens in this county' who may be of German descent and anyone who is proGerman. It was such remarks as this that helped very materially in driving votes from the Democratic party. . » All the Republicans ask of the Democrats is the same loyal support as they were given when in control of the United States congress. j

J. T. Rizer, a competent printer at Crown Point, recently bought the Kirlin Journal, moved there and em- ' barked on the stormy sea of country journalism. The venture proved disappointing apd last week he suspended operations and moved back to Crown Point. To show his utter con- ( tempt for the situation, before leaving Kirklin he pounded his machinery. into scrap iron, improvised a big hell j box into which he emptied all the: type, and then disposed of the outfit for junk.

PUBLIC IS MADE VICTIM OF GIGANTIC NEWSPAPER HOAX

The most gigantic newspaper hoax in the history of the world was perpetrated Thursday through the overanxiety of the United Press to score a beat over its competitors. There are three important news distributing bureaus in the United States—the Associated Press, the United Press and the International or Hearst service. * The announcement by the United Press that the German envoys had signed the terms of armistice 'and that hostilities had 1 ceased at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon prompted newspapers receiving the United Press report to issue extra editions heralding the false news.- iSome newspapers which receive both the United' Press and Associated Press service were led astray and issued extras because they failed to await the confirmation of the rumor, by the Associated Press. As a result, millions of ’people were duped. In every large city the wildest sort of demonstrations took place in the streets, churches were filled with devout individuals offering up their thanks to. Almighty God, and business was generally suspended. The disappointment of these untold millions is more easily imagined than described and when official denial of the story was made by the state de- ; partment they were loath to believe and insisted that the real truth was being suppressed. At least once previously the United Press has been guilty of'a similar offense against the reading public. On that occasion it spread as authentic the report of the death of Pope Pius X several hours before he really expired.
