I SANDWICHES Are EXPENSIVE FOOD 1 "rvrylTH a view to seeing that 2 fW 0Ur Dodes get 6 Dest i kind of nutrition science is weighing" and measuring everything J we eat the lunches our children Y carry to school, the food we get at V .home and the meals served us at s; hotels, restaurants and qulck-luncn S counters. Hardly a day goes by that s the diet experts do not advise us v that our stomachs and pocketbooks 0 would 'be better off if weate less of o some kind of food or abandoned It h altogether. ?! Sandwiches are in demand wher-X wher-X ever large amounts of sugar and y alcohol are consumed. The latter S; lead to a lowering of tho protein in s the diet, which can be partly made , up for by the albuminous sandwich, o Still another reason for the in-h in-h creased consumption of sandwiches ! is found in the growing tendency y, among many classes of the popula-$1 popula-$1 tion to eat outside the home. The sandwich naturally gets a prominent place on the menu of the public eating eat-ing house where economy of time In serving and eating food is an important im-portant consideration. In a slice of bread 100 calories or heat units are distributed among the different food materials as follows: Protein, 11; fat, 8; carbohydrate, 86. In the sameamount of bread and butter the division is: Protein, 6; fat, 58; carbohydrate, 87. The proportions In the ordinary meat sandwich are: Protein, 16; fat, 53, and carbohydrate, 32. But even though sandwiches did not contain an excess of animal food or did not by their concentrated form encourage us to ruin our digestions by eating too, faBt there is still another an-other good reason why iwe should not make them a regular article of diet. It has been calculated that ' 25 cents properly expended will buy In a public eating house 3,990 calorlss containing 108 grams of protein. El The same amount spent for sand- Mj wlches will buy only 1,140 calorics IB containing 30 grams less than one- H third as much. H
