Proteins.
The body hi need of food to re
build the tissues as they break down
a function which can be fulfilled
only by certain typei of food. Thus,
even if we could consume relatively
large quantities of sugar, or butter,
or cornstarch, these foods would not
repair the waste in body tissue and
death would result eventually. The
foodstuff which we call protein must
be supplied for the purpose of body
building. Many of our common food
materials, such as bread, cereals and
some vegetables, contain larger or
smaller amounts of this body-building
foodstuff, but of typical pro
teins we-have only seven or eight.
These are meat, fish, eggs, milk,
cheese, dried beans, dried peas ana
lentils. If one remembers this list,
it is fairly easy to discover whether
or not a menu contains protein.
When we think of the necessity of
supplying protein to the diet, two
questions naturally arise First, how
much protein is necessary? and sec
ond, is there any difference in kind
of protein? The first question is the
older, and has a double importance,
because proteins are expensive foods
and' they meet a different fate in our
bodies than other foods do. After
digestion, moat foods are eventually
burned in the body to give heat and
energy. The final or "end products"
of most digested foods are, therefore,
carbon dioxide gas and water, which
are given off largely by the lungs
and skin, Proteins, on the other hand,
are different. They produce in our
bodies, end products of carbon dioxide
and water, but in addition they pro
duce substances vJhich must be car
ried away through the kidneys.
Therefore, if we eat more protein
than is necessary to keep the body
i in good condition, we impose upon
: the kidneys which must eliminate the
' extra end products. If these extra
end products are not properly elimi
nated, certain diseases may result
eventually, auch as gout and rheuma
tism. Therefore it is a very vital
problem to know how much protein
to furnish in the diet; and it is not
very encouraging for me to tell you
that authorities do not agree. Chit
tenden of Yale is the mm who
stands for a relatively small amount
of protein , each day other authori
ties claim that as much as most peo-
fie eat ordinarily is none too much,
think, however, the tendency is
toward a smaller amount of protein.
Certainly none of us ever need more
than one kind of meat at a meal, or
one meat and fish at a more formal
meal, where servings are not large.
Also, meat once a day is probably
sufficient, with another kind of pro
tein for breakfast or lunch.
The last statement brings us to the
question of the value of different
kinds of protein. To the earlier stu
dents of .food, protein was protein;
but today, we value proteins accord
ing to the simpler substances of
which they are built chemically.
Thus, while gelatine Is a protein or
a "near protein," It will not sustain
Co-operation

rience ihat may be helpful to
others meeting the same problems.
life, and while corn contains a true
protein, which will support life, it
will not promote growth in young
animals or children. Thus we value
milk protein not so much for the
amount which is oresent as for its
I very satisfactory quality. The best
I way to be sure of supplying satisfac
I tory proteins is to vary the kinds
I which one offers on the table.
I Thus at the present time of in
complete knowledge of body-building
foods, one can offer the following
definite suggestions:
Eat very moderately of proteins,
because they are expensive and be
cause excess amounts overtax the
system. ' , i . .
Eat various kinds of protein until
we are sure of just which ones are
satisfactory from the standpoint of
the needs of our bodies.
Why firulta "Jell."
"Why ia it that some fruits will
make Jelly while it is not possible
to get other juices to jell? What is it
that makes this difference? Is there
anything that can be, added to these
fruits that won't jell; to make them
do so? Miss H. N."
To jell successfully, a fruit . must
contain a substance called pectose,
and also some acid. Certain fruits
are lacking in one or the other, e. g.,
the strawberry lacks pectose, There
fore if we use part apple juice, which
contains pectose, we can make straw
berry jelly. I am informed that there
is on the market a commercial prep
aration of concentrated apple juice,
which contains a known per cent of
bined with fruits which will not jell,
pectose and acid. This could be com-
Tasty Nut Recipes.
Nuts should be included among
fruits, but really they have a very
much higher nutritive value and they
are much richer in fat than any vege
tables; but they have one drawback,
inasmuch as they have a dense, com
pact cellulose framework that makes
them difficult of digestion unless mas
ticated thoroughly. This objection is
obviated in nut butters by the very
fine grinding to which they are sub
jected and which breaks up the cellu
lose, to that it could not possibly in
terfere with any healthy digestion.
Some nuts are greatly improved by
cooking, but others develop a dis
agreeable, rancid, oily flavor when
subjected to heat; and all nuts are
the better far being chopped finely.
The jflavor of the different nuts de
pendjs on the .kind of oil they con
tain, but many have in addition some
special component with marked
aste. For example, the almond con

tains cyanic acid; the chestnut sugar,
and so on. As nuts have a high food
value, they should not be eaten in
large quantities or with an otherwise
heavy meal; in fact, they are quite
sufficient in themselves to serve as
a substitute for meat.
A good example of this vegetarian
use of the nut is the following recipe:
Nut Roaat
Two cups bread crumbs, one cup
pecans, one cup filberts, one tea
spoonful chopped parsley, one table
spoonful chopped green peppers, one
'apple chopped, one onion chopped,
one cup of milk, one-half cup chopped
celery, one egg, salt and pepper, two
tablespoonfuls butter.
Put the bread, nuts, parsley-and
pepper through the mincer together;
grind up the apple and stir it into
the rest of the ingredients. Beat the
egg, add the milk and seasoning and
stir into the dry ingredients. Melt
the butter in a frying pan and pour
half into the mixture; fry the chopped
onion in the remainder and pour o..
the top of the loaf, which should be
Jiut into a well-grcased tin and baked
or forty-five minutes in a slow oven,
basting occasionally with butter and
boiling water.
Nut bread is generally much liked
by children and forms a very nutri
tious piece de resistance. For adults
it is only necessary to chop the nuts,
for at least they are supposed to have
sufficient sense to masticate their
food; but when making the bread for
children it is safer to run the nuts
thruogh the finest blade of the
mincer.
Nut Bread.
Four cups of flour, four teaspoon
fuls of baking powder, one cup of
sugar, one-quarter teaspoonful salt,
two cups of milk, on; cup of walnuts
and one tablr spoonful of lard. ;
Mix and sift the dry ingredients,
add the milk, melted lard and chopped
liUts. Beat thoroughly and pour into
well-greased tins. Leave it standing
or about thirty minutes and then bake
une hour in a moderate oven.
Although nuts have such an. amount
of nutriment, they are mostly! used fo
cakes, cookies and sweets of various
kinds. , ., ,
Nut Wafers. ' ,
Six tablcspoonfuls of flour, one cup
of chopped nuts, one cup brown flour,
two eggs, vanilla.
Beat the eggs to a froth, then add
the flour and sugar gradually, beating
well between each admixture. Chop
the nuts, which may be either mixed
or of some one particular kind, and

teaspoonful is the usual amount, but
it is better to use the very best make,
in which case one-half spoonful is
ample. Pour the mixture into a large

Nut Butter.
When using any of the nut butters
tr pastes for sandwiches you will find
them excellent if both brown and
'white bread are used. Cut one slice
of the brown to two of the white.
Spread the nut butter on both pieces
of white and put the brown between,
press well together and then cut into
fingers. These look very attractive
when piled on a pretty white doily.
Nut butters also are good on plain
