old. On the authority of Dr. Bernard,
the New York Evening Mail thus summarizes
corn meal:
Based on food value, com in the form of
meal or hominy is the cheapest foodstuff obtain
able today.
Again Dr. Barnard tells us three cents worth
of lorameal contains as much nutriment as 91
cents worth of eggs at 60 cents a dozen. 0 r 56
cents worth of round steak for which you pay
30 cents a pound.
1 at 3 cents a pound is equal in food J
value to six pounds of potatoes, for which the
housekeeper today pays 20 cents.
It is equal to a pound of cheese for which she
pays 25 cents, 30 cents or more.
It is equal to six pounds of bananas, eleven
pounds of oranges, fourteen pounds of cabbage.
The com that we cook into com cakes, that
we eat as hominy and mush, costs onjg one-
tenth as much as our breakfast foods. •
Cornmeal and hominy contain twWe as much
fat as any other cereal except oats, and the
world knows the worth of oatmeal.
The food trust will have accomplished a good
thing if Its prohibitive prices bring the people
back to first principles—to‘‘homeralsing,” as
they knew it at the hearty, healthful table
with cornmeal bill of fare.

A REAL ESTATE DEAL.
TIETON TO HAVE PLANT.
From the Bainbridge Democrat.
The people of Tifton and Tift county have
completed arrangements whereby orre hundred
tholUalad dollars has Been subscribed for the
immediate erection and operation of an up-to-
date packing plant.
This, statement sounds smaller than it really
is. It is, in truth, the concluding chapter of the
beginning of an era of stock and hog-raising
that will mean thousands of dollars annually
to the farmers off that county and those adja
cent and at the same time the concentration of
« business that will bring a splendid wholesale
trade to Tifton.
The erection of the Moultrie plant started
the people of that section to give the live stock
more attention. It brought to the farmers' ^oor
a plant that would use their product and use
it at market prices. It has fully demonstrated
the wisdom of the promoters, and it has estab
lished the fact that other sections even so close
to Tifton, need a similar plant
Once upon n time there was

but always obliging editor
promised to give the matter his at

This the prinjer agreed to do. and.
in a revised edition, the line ap.
