Shall We Kill the Calf?
BY. J. OGDEN ARMOU Chairman Food. Fuel and Conservation
Committee. Illinois State Council of Defense

There is a calf problem in this country and it has mot been solved
BY the plea to the American housewife to stop buying veal. Nor would
a law stopping the butcherng of calves present the solution.
More calves were slaughtered during the past year than any previous
ycer. Thousands upon thousands of young animals capable of being deyel-
oped into good beef at a profit were vealed. Millions of pounds of meat
were thereby wasted. Whether the waste as actual or theoretical, this
fact stands out and stares us in the face: The present world meat shortage
might have been considerably aleviated had a wiser policy in the han
ding of calves prevailed during the past years.
There are two general kinds of calves and they require totally diff
ferent treatment. There is no excuse for the slaughter of beef calves
and there is no justification for the maturing of all dairy calves. The
problem is to raise all beef calves to maturity and to prevent the waste
If food by extended feeding of excess dairy calves. 1t is a waste of food
to raise dairy calves that Ire not to be kept for dairy purposes. There
is just as much need for saughtering excess dairy calves when they reach
the veal age as there is for encouraging the farmers to mature their beef
calves.
1t is difficult to discuss calves without touching on baby beef. Baby
beef is economic from every angle. A great many of the beef calves which
were sent to the Fort Worth and Kansas City markets turing the past
year were of the type that would pay if matured as baby beef. They aver
age around three hundred pounds, and in the hands of capable farmers
who had the necessary feed available, they could have been made into
eight hundred to one thousand pound meat animals before they were two
years old and at less cost than three years olds, because young animals
will make flesh out of a greater proportion of their feed than will older
animals.

the banks of the streams. With the
melting of the snow and ice in the
spring, all of this filth will be WASHED
into the streams and carried to our
waterw0rks. This will test the filter
plants TO their capacities, many of
which have too small a margin to care
for an excessive flow of filth. Break
dowIss will occur and the people must
be prepared TO protect themselves by
boiling water for domestic purposes
upon the first indication of trouble
with their local water supplies.
In view of the above, the question
ought TO arise in tne peoples minds,
with all the money that is being spent
in the identifying of our cities, wheth-
er or not it would not be wiser K use
this money for the charging and i'm
proving of the publication plants so
that our waters may be safe, and wait
a little longer for our boulevards and
parkways. We certainly must use all
known ways, and where possible, de-
wise new ones, 10 protect the health of
the young population and to conserve
what we now have from unnecessary
destruction.

Washington's Death Was
Caused From Diphtheria
According to Physicians

In most histories it is stated that
George Washington died from pneu-
monia or quinsy, but Or. J. A. Nydeg-
ger of the United States public health
service sends to the Medical Record
a letter written by DR.. Cullen Dick of
Alexandria, Va, on January 10, 1900,
which shows hat "he undoubtedly
died of diphtheria."
The letter recounts the circum-
stances of Washington's last hours, the
consultations of the physicians in at
tendance, of whom Doctor Dick, the
writer of the letter, was one, and tells
how Dick urged that the sufferers
trachea (windpipe) be cut open so as
to permit him to breathe. The other
doctors would not consent to this.
They had bled their august patient in
vain, and would not eve give a name
to the disease from which he was dy-
ing. 1t appears that Doctor Dick was
reluctant to acknowledge that there
had been an outbreak of Group in
Alexandria, and he would use only the
term 'infiammatory quinsy" for that
with which Washington was afflicted.
Doctor Dicks description of the dis
ease, to which he proposed TO give the
name "cynanche laryngea," was one of
diphtheria he did not use that word
perhaps because it had not yet been
invented.

Blue for Iinoeric.

Pale blue lingerie is coming into

of so much pink. Pale blue Is not a
very satisfactory tint for underwear
after the first Washington the color
turns q dingy drab.
White lingerie. with pale blue rib
bon, is really much prettier and inf
nitely more satisfactory in the long
run. White negligees are most beauti-
full when made of rich materials. Moth
ing. for instance. could be lovelier
than q peignoir of embroidered white
crepe de chine or a warm room gown
of white velvet touched with fur. A
golden yellow costume worn In a popu-
lar play this season and draped in
simple folds has offered inspiration fer
many an enchanting tea gown.

NEW COAT OF MAIL
Entire TUNES of furnished Silver,
Dropped From Neck to Knees.
Warrior-Like Corsage Is Embroidered
With Pearls, BriIliants and Flashes
of Steel-JeweI Headdress.

Not only Cheruit, but many other
French dressmakers, have lent their
ear to making a pronounced fashion
out of silver tissue. Two years ago,
observes q prominent writer, we grew
excessively weary of evening gowns
made of superimposed pieces of tulle
on a metallic foundation, and wien the
thought of silver and gold tissue pre-
sents itself as a fashion, we turn away
from it in a petulent manner.
But watt This revival of a coat of
mail for women, the warriors uniform
of ancient days which no modern fight
er would touch, is another and a more
pleasing thing than the evening gown
of metallic cloth.
Entire %tunics, in the twelfth cen
fury fashion, are made of furnished
silver dropped from neck to knees, or
longer, over skirts OF blood red or mid
night blue satin or velvet. Except for
the costliness Of the material, the tu-
mics have all the simplicity of primi-
tive dressing. Their introduction into
the early spring fashions has brought
about a quantity of silver used in ev-
cry way.
Nine. Simone of the Theater An
tome in Paris, is wearing, l hear, a
wonderful gown which is being copied
for this country. 1t is Of silver cloth
faced with red, hanging in panels on
the ground over a slim, tight skirt that
clings to the figure as she walks. The
warrior-like corsage is embroidered
with pearls, brilliants and flashes of
cut steel. To it she adds q warriors
headdress made of the same jewels as
In the cOrsage and mounted on silver
cloth.
Wherever silver can be flicked in
n out of a frOck to enliven it, the
designer loses no chance of trying out
her ingenuity through this channel.
When she abondons the Russian blouse
Of gold and bronze metallic cloth,
which drops over q skirt of bronze
satin, she takes the same material and
uses it in bands, cuffs and high, wrink-
led collars that enclose the chin like
a fence.
1t is a strange idea, this bringing
out of a new coat of mail for women
as the spring approaches. Is it a rec
ignition of their first victory toward
suffrage and the fact that they may
be counted as warriors today in civic,
national and war work?

APPEALS TO ALL
TO RAISE CHICKS

In line with the big campaign tO,con-
serve food that is being conducted by
the food administration, the United
States department of agriculture is
making Il direct appeal to every family
to produce food in so far as it an.
]. w. Kinghorne of the federal de-
partment of agriculture is in charge of
the middle Western states in the gov
ernment's nationwide campaign to
stimulate poultry production, with
headquarters in Chicago.
In an interview Mr.. Kinghorne made
the following statement outlining the
nations needs and the big aid city and
suburban jewellers can give in supply
ing them:
I'm hundreds of ammunition plants
in various parts of our country skilled
mechanics are working day and night,
turning out shells to pave the way for
democracy.
Contrast this with the possibility of
every city and suburban family that
has the available ground establishing
stiIOllltL III hiuIllllO1 Dldnl 10 DTO-
duce shells filled with q most valuable
and nutritious food. In other words,
producing eggs.
The part that the American hen
can play in winning this war can be
materially increased by the establish
ment of thousands of backyard poultry
plants all over this country. That
food will win the war; is brought be-
fore our attention daily, and the rea-
son why food can and will play such an
necessary and important as ammuni-
ton TO obtain ultimate victory.
That poultry and eggs can be pro
duced more quickly and by a larger
number of people than any other form
of animal o is the all-impOrtant rea-
son why Uncle Sam is making q ma
tional effort and a strong appeal TO
every city and suburban dweller to
produce poultry, and especially eggs.
"The equipment for such an enter
prise need not be large or costly. A
lot 25X30 feet is ample to accommodate
Il flock OF twelve TO twenty-five hens,
which should produce sufficient eggs
for the average family. BY building a
simply constructed poultry house out
of dry goods or piano boxes, and sup
%plementing the regular feeds with
table scraps, eggs can be produced at
but little cost. Thus the backward
flock will not only help in reducing the
cost of living and make possible strict
~ fresh eggs, but at the same time il
will fill n national need us q source of
food production"

The Woman of Forty and
What She Should Do and
Not Do to Hold Her lob

The woman Of forty and over must
learn to obey orders in an office.
The woman of forty and owe must
forget the rules OF her former employ
ment and yield to those of the new job.
The woman OF forty or over should
be neat.
The woman of forty and Over must
demand no especial consideration be-
cause of her years.
These are just a few of the warn
ings offered the middle-aged woman
seeking employment by Mrs. Alice Nc
Bride of the Woman's Association of
Commerce of Chicago.
She has given them to Miss Eliza
beth Bennett, temporarily of the m
ployment bureau of the women's di-
vision of the state council Of defense,
and applicants for work will be with
all due delicacy informed that these
be good rules to follow.
'ToO often I've seen the m~iddle-aged
oma lose track of herself, as it were,

Dh' tIS put up Will HcI just 81 lODS

flee. She need not be q raving beauty
If only she be neat and prepOssessing.
And she need not think that a bit of
cosmetic, a bit of powder or a good
cream are only the young woman's pre-
rOgative. The older woman needs TO
look well and must see to it that she
does.
But most of all, the middle-aged
woman finds it difficult to adhere TO
rules in an office, and too often she
irritates by saying, AT my last place
we did so and so.'
Now, then. all the employer cares
about is having his own rules carried
out and the woman employed will do
