Walnuts as Food A I,ondon medi cal Journal recently published Borne lnt<-reatlng facta concerning wslnuts as food. According Io thia authority, "Jo large walnut kernels contain ns much food value as two and three-quarters pounds of lean beef.” With beef worth approximately 20 cents a pound this means that each walnut Is worth about 2 cents as food product as compared with beef. That these facts will great ly encourage the production and con sumption of walnuts Is hardly to be expected. There la some consolation, however. In the thought that when meat has become a luxury to be In dulged only by the rich, the general eonsumer can keep his dinner very well— somewhat like Peter Pumpin- eatcr's wife In a walnut shell. »
