CARE FOR
Chicago Board of Health Issues
Warning Bulletin.
Urges Vegetarian Diet and Gives
Pointers to Those Who Must
Have Meat Much Nutrition
In Cheap Steak.
Chicago. "Don't mako a Junkshop
of your stomach," Is tho warning of
tho Chicago health department In tho
weekly bulletin Issued the other day.
Tho editor of tho bulletin advocates
& vegetarian diet, but for those who
must havo meat with their meals ho
points out a way to get around tho
high cost of living problem.
"Tho cost of an articlo of food Is no
true guide as to its real nutritive
value," ho says.t "Eor example, a glass
of puro milk with bread and butter, an
egg and a dish of fruit, costing all
told 25 cents, Is a much better meal
for tho nvorago person than a big sir
loin steak, which, with 'trimmings,'
will cost flvo times as much." .
"Tho trouble with many people is
they aro (willing to pay high prices for
food that, whllo It tickles or pleases
their palates, Is of no moro valuo than
that costing much less.
"A pound of protein or fat from a
tenderloin steak at 28 cents a Tound
contains no moro nutrition than tho
samo amount from sbouldcr or round
stoak at less than half tho cxponso.
Even In these days of high prices 25
cents will buy meat enough, with vege
tables added, to mako a savory and
nourishing stow for six persons: and
tho entire cost, Including broad, butter,
coffeo and vegetables, neod not ex
ceed 10 cents per person.
"According to the Londan Lancet,
there is very little dlftorenco between
tho nutritlvo valuo of wheat and rye.
Ono distinct advantago of ryo bread
Is that It keeps fresh longer than
wheat broad. Ryo bread also has dis
tinct laxatlvo properties.
"Tho effect of deep breathing as a
mental stimulant Is very pronounced.
Two minutes' exercise of deep breath
ing will romovo all feelings of slug
gishness, provided, of course, that tho
exerclso bo taken In a room with the
wlndpws wide open, or, better still, In
tho open air.
"Tho mouth Is tho seat of many of
tho communicable disoasos. For this
reason mouth sanitation Is Important.
A clean mouth and sound tooth aro
big factors In promoting physical
health. Oral hyglono, ns It Is called.
Is becoming an important and recog
nized branch of medical school Inspec
tion. It Is well understood that proper
care and attontlon given to tho mouth
meanB that tho child will bo hoalthlor,
better ablo to assimllato its food, mako
bettor progress in its studies and bo
less llablo to attack from tho usual
epidemic diseases of childhood.
"During tho months of January and
February of this year 13,458 phy&'snl
examinations wero mado of children In
the publlo Bchools. Of this numbor
5,350 wero found to requlro treatment.
Tho principal ailments, and to which
parents woro urged that Immediate at
tention bo given, wero as follows:
Diseases of tho eyo 1,040
Dad teeth , 5,245
Enlarged glands , 1,738
Defective hearing 174
Defectivo nasal breathing RC3
Adenoids 599
Affected tonsils 2,550
"To properly nppreclato tho valuo to
tho child of medical school Inspection
when properly done it should bo clear
ly understood that any ono of tho
minor defects noted and for which
treatment was urged amountH to a se

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "1ACK TO THE LAND" CRY
IS EFFECTIVE.
Traveling through tho state of Iowa
tho other dsy, and Iowa Is no excep
tion to tho story about to bo related,
tho writer was shown a farm that waa
offered tlireo yoara ago for $250 an
acre. That appeared to bo a high fig
uro for land upon which tho owner
deponded upon tho crops of corn, hogs
and cnttlo that could bo rniscd upon
it. But It wasn't, A low weeks since
tho farm changed hnnda at $325 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down In In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
lino in Minnesota, tho samo experi
ence was met with. And then atten
tion is directed to Canada, which has
been tho Mecca of bo many hundred
thousand Americans during tho past
few yearn. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has tho prico of lands Increased,
but In Western Canada, during thd
past fow weeks, farm lands havo In
creased from thrco to flvo dollars an
acre, with tho prospect of a similar
ndvanco during tho next throo months.
Tho reason for this Is very npparont,
nnd In a few words it mny bo pointed
out thnt tho lands aro worth a great
deal moro than tho present prices.
Tho Northwestern Agriculturist of
Minneapolis, a pnpor that was ono ot
tho first of tho American farm papers
to discover tho real merits ot tho
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: "Tho reciprocity ached
ulo would encourage Amorlcan farm
ers to movo to Canada, whero tho vir
gin soil will- produce greater crops of
grain with less labor than can bo pro
duced In our own farms in tho North
west Tho result will bo to ouhanco
land values in Cnnnda," This paper
Is afraid land values in Canada will bo
enhanced at tho expenso of land
valueB In tho United States. In faco
of tho fact that land values in tho
United Stntos aro Increasing the rea
soning scarcely holds. Tho reason for
tho advanco In valuo of Canadian
lands la partly accounted from tho
fact, admittod by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produco "groator
crops of grain with lcsa labor," But
that is not tho only reason. During
tho past twolvo months 320.0Q0 pco
plo havo mado Canada tholr homo and
theso aro mostly of tho funning class.
They want farms, nnd tho demand as
well as tho woalth of tho soil is regu
lating tho prico. A study of tho In
creaso in tho acroago of land put un
der crop last year, which can bo had
from any Canadian govornment repre
sentative, will provo tho. point, that
tho domand is Increasing at a greater
ratio than oven tho most sanguine
would havo predicted.
