To Go Through And Win

A French woman writing to an Am

that every woman in the home, like
every man at the front, must be ready
TO do her best to go through and win.
Further on, the letter reads: You

We CAN DISPENSE WITH

WHAT THE BODY REQUIRES
Or. J. II. Kellogg,
Battle Creek SanitarIum.

There are three kinds OF foodstuffs.
These are fats carbohydrates and
protein. Protein Is the material that
goes TO build up the tissues OF the
body while the carbohydrates (starch
and sugar. are used for fuel Protein
furnishes. the repair material OF the
body. Starch and fat are to the body
Just what coal Is 10 the locomotive.
while protein Is TO the body just what
the iron bolts, brass washers, bearings
and things OF that kind which we put
into the locomotive at the repair shop,
are to the engine. So we do not re-
quire much protein. We have
enough protein In our food. In the or
binary foods of the American bill OF
fare without any meat at all.
II everybody would cut meat
out OF the bill OF fare entirely. they
would all be better of provided they
would take a proper assortment OF
other foods including milk. eggs or
nuts. We ought TO use peanuts and
soy beans. Add those to the bill
OF fare and you do not need meat
at all Twenty years ago the Assistant
Secretary OF Agriculture, Mr.. Dabney,
wrote me that the time was coming
when meat would be scarce and high
and we ought TO have vegetable sub
stitute. Abound of almonds contains
fifty per cent more protein than a
pound OF meat.

The call for wheat grows moro and
more urgent and Americans now rea
lize that wheat is as much a part OF the
real fighting program OF the country an
ships and guns. II has been said that
brains will win the war. Thinking
ahead on the wheat question has led
many citizens to demand that wheat
be taken over by the Government and
held in hand 10 meet any shortage
that may arise from submarine sink
ings. That would be Germany's meth
cd, the brains OF the rulers In that case
would win; but America is depending
on democracy to win-the brains OF
ell her people. Your brains must win.
Thousands OF men and women have
given up the weekly allowance OF
