RED CROSS

ers who may become i'll or worn out in

In Norway any such American con-
valescents will be the guests of the
Norwegian Red Cross, and will be sent
to the most suitable Norwegian health
resort for a period of six weeks or
more at its expense.
Similar invitations were long ago ex-
tended to the European belligerents
although Germany and Russia are the
only ones who have sent nurses here
in response Germany has thus far
sent 500 nurses to Norway while 60
Russian nurses are now here or a
months vacation.
A visit from even a small American
Red Cross unit would be regarded as a
great event in Norway, which regards
itself as a little closer to the United
States than any other Scandinavian
country. Norwegians frequently re-
mark that there are more Norwegians
in the United States than there are in
Norway, and that therefore one coun-
try is much their home land as the
other.

The old idea that woman has no

LIQUOR AND FOOD.

The curtailment of beer manufac
ture in belligerent countries, as Il
food conservative measure, flds SGT
entitic defense in a recent report from
a British brewing expert. To the ar
gument that the by-products Of beer
manufacture, without reckoning tie
beer itself, were foodstuffs almost as
valuable as the original barley, he r.
plies as follows;
A quarter" OF barley, about $50
pounds, produces, in addition to five
barrels of bee some 400 pounds Of
wet grains AZ pounds of culIns
and poultry-food and is pounds Of
brewers BARN. The whole product
weighs about a ton-more than four
times the weight of the original grain.
But this added weight, explains the
expert, is all water.
The barley was worth, as food,
about SIS. The resulting grains are
worth s1.5C and the culms and poultry
food less than 81. The element of
most value, the starch contained in
the barley, has been turned by fer
mentation into alcohol, carbonic acid
gas and yeast. The gas, OF course, is
worthless. The yeast is almost en-
tirely SO. The food value Of the alco-
hol, which constitutes S,to per cent
Of the beer, is questionable. 1t is gen.
orally regarded as a drug rather than
a food
Thus, according to this authority
the actual food value obtained from
the grain, even including the admitted
nutriment contained in the beer, is so
much less than the value Of the grain
In the form Of -four. that using it for
brewing purposes is intolerable waste.
And the argument is much stronger
in the case of whiskey.
Germany has been acting on this
theory, and England is coming around
to 1t. II the present food scarcity thu
world over continues, this severely
practical argument against alcohol
will accomplish more for the cause Of
temperance than any quantity of NOR
