FATS OTHER THAN LARD NEEDED
FOR A LIFE.SUSTAINING DIET

(By DR.. Leonard Keene Hirshberg,
ABB, MA, MD. Johns Hopkins
University
Perhaps there is no ration more
necessary to human health and hap
piness, which Is also such an abomi-
nation to the palates of many per-
sons, than fat. The very individuals
who at times need this element of the
diet most frequently can not abide it.
There is a substance interviewer
with most fats which makes for
growth, health xigor and life itself.
Whether this is vitamine Or some
thing else, the large fact is quickly
evident to dietitians that deficiency
of oils and greases in any ration is
soon followed by more or less phys
ical disaster to those deprived of it.
The vitamine or DEMONSTRATING sub
stance presented in such animal fats
as butter, butter-fat, yolk of egg,
cream, cod liver oil and such animal
fats as goose skin, beef tut and the
like Seems to be absolutely wanting in
olive oil, corn oil and other vegetable
fats.
The proof of this is obtain,ea by, the

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there Is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to E. Il. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus. Of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served In very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds oul
American Creole and southern cuisine
a broad field for Investigation.

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve,
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their focks and
herds in order to meet EurOpe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today Is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th.
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September
$l7.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIT "a
November and December, $l8.08; Jan
larry, S1440 The effect OF these price,
was to drive beef animals on the mar
kst as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle a.
wen as the quality have shown al
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14,SO7, 900 head o
cattle in 1913, she now has only II,
s41,9OO, a decrease of l6.6 per cent
And France is today producing onl,

and one-half gallons before the wal
Denmark and Holland have beef
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for bee

Close study Of ths European mea

dairF products rather than In the pro

GIRLS HELP FRANCE
Red Cross Worker Tells Thrilling
Tale of Experience.
full Spirit of the French
Soldiers.

Chicago.-Miss Gladys M. Spencer
OF Highland Park, H., told $50 girls,
ranging from seventeen years of age,
her experiences as Red Cross worker
In France, and girls everywhere will
be thrilled over her talk.
"Once while was very close to the
front lines with my ambulance" she
said, II was put in charge Of several
other machines and ordered to return
the wounded to the base hospitals. 1t
was then that I had my first real good
opportunity to observe the wonderful
spirit of the French soldiers. They
remain quiet no matter how much
pain they are in, and there is very lit
tie grumbling. Always you can find
smile. And they are going to win the
warI"
1t is difficult to realize that tender
ly reared American girl handled her
self with so much poise in a shell-shat-
tered area. The group Of girls she was
addressing were preparing themselves
to face the same dangers, and thou
sands of other American girls and
women as nurses are more than doing
their bits.
"On another OCCASION" she con-
tinued, 81 drove my ambulance to a
freight house to remove some large
boxes. Only old men were left to lift
the boxes, or men convalesclng from
wounds. The boxes were too heavy
for them, so three other women and
myself pitched in and loaded the cars.
1.-THE spirit Of the entire French peo-
pie is sunny. They are delighted over
America, and they firmly believe that
with our help the Germans will be
thing of the past in very short time"

A most interesting talker was Mrs.
Powell of the miscellaneous depart
ment. To point the moral of her talk
which was Follow Directors" she
exhibited a soldiers sweater knitted
| 1O-year-size, some wristlets about the
same circumference, socks made
tight enought for a seven-year-ol girl,
and one sock ribbed and banded with
shades of pink. Of the sox she said
nearly 40 per cent did not have the
proper Kitchener toe, and in that con-
nection remarked that all methods of
warfare had changed. Soldiers had
to learn new ways els it possible
we grandmothers can't learn new
ways too?'

county to know that the record besides

Tuesday afternoon round table dis
cussions began. Very interesting was
the talk of Mr.. Hilton, supervisor of
the supply department. He explained
the difficulties in getting supplies
heretofore, and said that while much
material was on the way, freight de-
lays were frequent. He stated that no
new allotments would be made until
the goods were in the warehouse, and
he knew that henceforth the Red Cross
Dollar would do a much great serv-
ice. 1t was impossible to give exact
dates for future allotment Tolerate
Cooperation" is needed on all sides.
Proper organization of chapter ter
ritory was topic of much interest
to Latah county delegates, since this
chapter organization seems to fill out
the requirements. Under civilian re-
lief the need of effective organization
was discussed. The soldiers and sail
ors insurance and allotment was fully
threshed out, and it's understanding |
was helped by an excellent diagram. |
There was a discussion on the re-
education and rehabilitation of dis
abled men. An institution for such
is already established in New
York The division advises all ques-
ions on such matters should be re-
erred to it, since the Red Cross
keeps trained experts to cooperate
With the war department at Washing
