Arguing Hist a workingman can
ea*ily live on vtt cent* u d*y and avoid
meat. Dr f ranklin White, Harvard's
expert on diet*, today said :
■ It is not only pos.-ible to live on 20
cent* a d*y, hut to do It would result
tn better health. 1'eople are complain
ing of the high cost of food, but it
seem* a* if most of u* lorget Hie really
cheat! food. Take corn meal, for ex
ample. which cost* tluee cents n
pound. A third of a pound, or a cent*
worth of corn meal will make n largo
quantity of mush, probably more than
the average appetite demand*. With
oleumargnrino ami some cheap syrup
It make* a satisfying, iiowtlshing meal.
Two cents’ worth of syrup would give
the sugar clement. A man cowld do
hard labor on auch a meal, the entire
cost of whim would bo about four

••Another cheap ba*la for a full meal
i* the potato To he sure, the potato
by itself is not appetizing enongli. but
a man can use boiled potatoes and get
his ifavor from a smoked herring It i*
not generally appreciated, 1 fear, that
a herring D a better value for one’s
money in 1'» vor * n, l f 001 * value thatn
is a more gxpensive fish, such i»** a cdd.
