States Race .to Fill Quota for - First, National ArmyQuick Action Seen. WASHINGTON. July 25. The race beween states for the honor of being first to fill their quotas under the selective draft bill was on today n earnest. Calling up men for physical examination begun this morning in several regions. Meanwhile details of the machinery for actually calling the accepted men into service and sending them to their mobilization camps are being worked out. Provost Marshal General Crowder has already ruled that the claim of the navy attaches to any registered men as soon as the local selection board has posted him as accepted. Subject to Military. From that time on. unless exempted, he will be subject to military law and the articles of war. Failure to appear when called will bring the military forces of the provost marshal general in search of the missing man and he will be tried for any violation of regulations before a court martial. This ruling was necessary in order to enforce the prompt compliance of all accepted men with the army orders. It appears probable that the accepted men. when the mobilization order for the new army is given, will be first assembled in their selection board headnuarters. Their distribution among the sixteen cantonments. General Crowder said today, would be governed by two rules first, the section of the law requiring that they be assigned, as far as jiracticable, to duty with troops from their own state, and, secondly, the location of the nearest cantonment to reduce the transportation problem as much as possible.

NATIONAL BREAD ECONOMY WHAT IS MAN'S BEST FOOD By Harry Everett Barnard, Ph.D. State Food and Drug Commissioner of Indiana, member of Indiana Stat Council of Defense, author and lecturer on food subjects.

Farmers feed their stock by rule and know to a fraction ot a cent how much It costs them to produce a quart of milk or a pound of beef or pork. It 16 not possible to estimate in the same way the cost of feeding the human family, for the value of the product is determined by the ability of the consumer to do work instead of in Increased weight - - - We have learned by many careful experiments Just how much food it takes to keep the average man or woman in health and efficiency. And we know by analysis the value of our different foods in doing this important work. The table below lists the purchasing power of 10 cents spent for staple commodities. It also shows the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates that each 10-cent portion of food furnishes, as well as its energy or calorie value. Ten cents will huy.

This table is full of surprises. The first Is the great difference in food value of staple foods. We see at a glance that potatoes at 90 cents a peck (until this year an unheard-of price) are much cheaper than eggs at 36 cents a dozen. .

h. e. Barnard. -phe value of meats is also shown. Beef, ven at the lowest price, costs most. This is due to the fact that It is less fat. But what it lacks in fat it gains in protein content. The most striking thing in the table is the great value of bread. Ten cents spent for bread, even at its present high price, will buy 1,500 calories of energy; nearly five times as much as can be bought as steak, and six times as much as when spent for eggs. Bread today is cheaper than potatoes at normal prices. Indeed, it is our cheapest staple food. But better than that, it is the best bavced food we can buy at any price. With the exception of milk, it is the only food listed that contains protein, fat and carbohydrates in well-balanced proportions. Whether wheat is cheap or dear, bread at almost any price is cheap food whn compared with meat. There is no denying the fact that the well-fed man Is a lover of good bread. The stale bread delusion has cost the consumer as well as the baker, a great deal of money. It Is foolish besides. When bread is first baked, it contains nearly 30 per cent of moisture. After a time some of this water escapes. The bread dries out, or as the baker says, "goes stale." . As a matter of fact, the bread Isn't stale, it is Just as wholesome, Just as sweet, Just as satisfactory as the moment when it left the oven and every loaf that is returned to the bakery to be fed to horses by that much increases the cost of bread. Bread three days old, when properly kept, is Just as good as when a day old. Why shouldn't it be? Bread baked in the home is always used up before the next baking. It does not dry out because it is wrapped, and placed in a bread box. where its moisture content is conserved. The average housewife doesn't like to cut her homemade loaf until it is a day old. tor its texture is then firm, instead of spongy. Because bread is such a wondarful food, it is the first thing to which the government turned in the accounting ot our supplies necessary because' ot the present war. For two years the world has produced lees wheat than it has eaten, and this is why far-seeing men at the head of the government are urging the most careful economy In the use of bread stuffs, so that we may have the maximum quantity to send across to those who are doing the fighting in the great war. Today there esn be neither excuse nor tolerance for the waste of a crumb of bread. Housewives must look to their larder. Bread that is eaten is put to Its best use. but bread that Is wasted In times like the present becomes party to a crime. In cooking, the use of toast for a garnish or decoration, un less it is eaten, should be discouraged. Cutting more bread than the. family will consume at a meal, la wasteful. Crusts and crumbs must be carefully saved and untllized in other dishes. Only by such practices instituted at once can the United States hope to escape the necessity of dark, coarBe breads, that are being eat,en in Europe and generally known as "war bread."
