ducers. On the other hand. France,
having removed import duties and re-
strictions, has already imported large
quantities of frozen meat, and has ar
ranged for still larger imports in the
near future. This change of policy is
so marked, and it's effect likely 10 be
so far-reaching, that it can hardly fall
to influence materially the course Of
the whole frozen meat trade for some
time to come. Formerly France kept
out frozen meat to protect her farm
ers. Now that country is admitting
frozen meat, not only to supply mill
tary requirements, but also to pro
tect her focks and herds from undue
depletion.
In Germany, the pressure Of de
mand for army requirements has prob
ably been met thus far from domestic
sources. supplemented by captures
from France and Belgium, and impor-
tation from small neighboriug states,
who appear to have slaughtered stock
freely; but on the other hand the
Russian supply of cattle and feeding
stuffs and the limited receipts Of
frozen Australian mutton and beef
have been cut Off. In effect the value
of meat in Germany does not appear
to have been seriously affected up TO
the present, but indications are not
wanting 10 show that greater economy
in consumption is now being called
for.
Austria is practically selfcontain-
ed in respect of meat requirements az
though Roumania. Serbia and other
Balkan states provided some welcome
supplies in normal times. These are
now probably missed and heavier IL
roads are being made into her Own

Dunkirk, F'rance.-(Corres pondence
of The Associated Press. THE ac-
tivities OF the highly efficient German
sharpshooters have been responsible
for a large proportion of the casual
ties in the French and British armies
during the past two months. Lieuten-
ant H. G. Vouzier of the French army,
writes Of these sharpshooters:
During the past three weeks have
lost more men by the sniper than /
did in three stir engagements. Our

of grass; one Of my men fred into one
of these tufts, and q sniper fell into

yards to the right was another tuft
which we demolished with a fusillade
of shots. When it was dark we found
there two dead Germans, who were
warmly clad and wrapped in rugs.

Why and How to Cook Yege-
tables.

In a recent bulletin on "The
Cooking Of Vegetables" by Miss
Louise Stanley, associate pro-
fessor Of home economics at the
University Of Missouri, Miss
Stanley points out that the chief
reason for cooking vegetables is
to make them more digestible by
softening the cellulose and by
causing the starch to swell and
assume a gelatinous consistency.
When starch is changed in this
way it is said to be hydrolyzed.
Hydrolyzed starch is digestible
raw starch is indigestible. Those
vegetables which have no starch
or relatively small amounts Of
cellulose can be eaten raw.
Miss Staney further emphasi-
ses that many housekeepers
make the mistake Of boiling veg
etables in a large amount Of wa
ter and draining off the water in
which mineral salts and sugar
from the vegetables are present.
When the water containing these
constituents is drained off, a
large amount of the nutritive
value Of the vegetable is lost.
The most serious waste in throw
ing away the water in which the
vegetable has been cooked is the
loss Of mineral matter which is
necessary to build bone and pre-
vent the decay of teeth.
1t is desirable that strong flaw
ored vegetables lose a part of
their flavor. Fully as satisfac-
tory as the method of pouring off
water is the plan Of cooking the
vegetable in an uncovered vessel
and allowing a part of the flavor
to pass Off in steam.
