Atlanta Physician Believes He

Problem.

Casting about for a solution Of the higi

The goat
Or, being exact, the kid, because as ar
| article of food the kid is far preferable
| to its ancestor.
The flesh Of the kid could be substi
tuted for all other meats, declares DR.

need very little animal food, and ths
kid as a food is equal to any other meat
And as Southern people need little OF
the meat, they would not become tired

carried out, according TO DIR. Visanska-
because the cost Of raising goats is far
cheaper than the production of any other
animal whose flesh Is suitable for hu-
man food.
As PaIatable as Lamb.
The kid is as palatable as the lamb,
and possesses the same nutritive value.
So why not let the kid chop replace
the lamb chop on the table Of the home,
ana thus deal the high cost OF living a

questions asked in the same breath by
DR.. Visanska-
The reason kid flesh ought to be
cheaper thanu.lamb is that goats are
able to live almost anywhere while
sheep need a good pasture. with all other
conditions favorable. The goat can be
placed on the sandhills Of Georgia and
win thrive on a pasture 50 scanty that
sny other animal would scarcely be able
to exc a bare living.
Then the goat is hardy and needs
practically no looking after. In fact. in
olden times the goat used to be placed
amcng the sheep to guide them. and
now, in some parts Of the country, are
used in that way.
Goats are very prolific. They multi
ply with nearly the same regularity as
do rabbits They far surpass the sheep
In this particular.
Kid Alone Can Re Used.
DR.. visanska thus demonstrated how
cheap the production of the kid ought
to be, and then declared that Southern
people req lire 50 little meat that the
kid alone could be used

and fruit ought to be the article of food
used by Southern people. with as little

cost Of living would be greatly reduced.
he says.
The cost Of lamb Is now from Is to 30
cents a pound, according to the quail
ity, while the cost of kid would be only
from 10 to 20 cents q pound.
To pay Is cents for q roast Of kid,
after being accustomed to pay So and
40 cents a pound for porterhouse and
5 cents less for sirloins, would be a
great satisfaction to most people. In
fact, II would save them about half their
meat bills, which Is now one OF the
largest items Of the workingman's 5
monthly budget Of bills. Then there are
other uses for the goat Upon investiga-
tIon, 1t is found that the goat could be
developed into an indispensable domestic
animal.

ultimate military policy be carried out.
BLACK France" That Is the latest
Gaelic phrase used to denote Frances
black colonies in Africa and her negro
soldiers there. The average Frenchman
thinks of It with thrill OF pride, but
there are those who fear that the country
is brewing for itself a pot OF trouble.

creasing native African soldiery and
the proposed importation of them into
France.
The falling birth rate has made dras-
tic action necessary. No attempt was
made to conceal the fact that this was
the cause for returning to the Three
Year Military Service Law just passed by
both the Chamber Of Deputies and the
Senate. But even with that addition,
Frances standing army is not big enough;
something else had to be done. That
thing seems to be the formation of the
mightiest negro legion the world has ever
seen. Senator Ge.yais Is fighting for
100, 600 black men. but others say that
eventually there will be under the tri-
color of France an army of native Afri-
cans 1000 strong.

law in 1910. There are 5000 Of him al
ready, say dispatches from Paris.

men ready to take the field at an instants

increase.
The only remedy for the situation, it is
argued, is to introduce the negro into the
military scheme. There are millions of
negroes in Frances African dependencies.
