BREAD IN THE HOME If home-baked bread were uniform ly well made it would be used more extensively than at present in place of more expensive foods, say spe cialists in the United -States Depart ment of Aftiitullure, and this would be a distince economy. From the standpoint of nutrition it makes very little difference whether breadstuff s .vyq served in the form of bread or in rne rorm ot Draktast cereals, side dishes with meats, or desserts. A man engaged in moderate muscular work can profitably consume about three-fourths of a pound a day or brea ffs in any one of these forma. This quantity is the equivalent of 1 pound of Laked bread. As a matter of fact, however, it is not probable that in the average family this quan tity is consumed and the deficiency is made up by the use of more expen sive nibirtances. Of course, bread alone not sufficient for the mainte nance of health, but from both an economical and a hygienic point of view it should be used more exten sively than it usually is. In a new publication of the depart k. t, Farmers' Bulletin 807, detailed directions for the making of bread in the home are given, together with a number of convenient recipes for homemade biscuit, rolls, and bread in eh rice or potatoes are used with Hour, ihe bulletin also gives a ncoio ard. by means of which it is suggest ed the housewife can estimate the rr. it cf her product. AN OUNCE OF MEAT "Many a Micklc Makes a Muckle" An ounce of edible meat lean meat fat and lean, suet or fat trimmed from steak, chop, or roast seems hardly worth saving. Mr ny households take just this view of the mater do not trouble to put aich an insignificant scrap into the ice box or soup pot do not bother to rave for cookery a spoonful or two of drippings or a tiny bit of suet or fat. Yet if every one of our 20,000,000 American families on the average wastes each day only 1 ounce of edible meat or fat, it means a daily waste cf '1,250,000 pounds of animal food 456,000,000 pounds of valuable animal food a year. At average dressed weights, it would take the gross weight of over 875,000 steers,. or over 3,000,000 hog.3 bones and all to provide this weight of meat or fat for each gar bage pail or kitchen sink. If the bones and butcher's waste arc elim inated, these figures would be in creased to 1,150,000 cattle and 3, 700,000 hogs. Or, again if the waste were distrib uted according to the per capita corv sumption of the various meats (ex cluding bones), it would use up a combined herd of over 538,000 beef animals, 291,000 calves, over 625,000 sheep and lambs, and over 2,132,000 hogs. Millions of tons of feed and hay, the grass from vast pastures, and the labor of armies of cattlemen and but chers also would be scrapped by this meat-waste route. But every household doesn't waste an ounce of meat or fat every day? Very wellj make it one out of a hun dred families, but keep in mind that all meat allowed to spoil and all meat and fat rendered inedible by impro per cooking, scorching, or 'burning must be counted waste. Make it av ounce every other day or one a month. Such waste still would be unendurable when meat is scarce and when fat ;s J of such vital food importance to many nations. Waste of meat or fat is inexrusab.. Every bit of lean meat can be used in soups, stews, or in combination witn cereals; every spoonful of fat can be employed in cookery; every bit of dripping and gravy can be saved m ! easily and used to add flavor and nourishment to other dishes. The United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, or your State Agricultural college will tell you how to use bits of meat to make appetizing and nutritious dishes and how to use left-over fat in cook ery. To stop advertising is to be for gotten. Men whose names you once heard every day., you now think of once a year. And yet they are still there. They only stopped advertis ing. From Mrchants Journal and Com merce, Richmond, Virginia.
