Plans For Future Are Outlined BY
Mr.. Leigh Carroll, Gulf Division
Msnarer

Now that the second War Fund
Campaign is over, and the subscrip-
ton of the Chapters in the Gulf Divi-
sion have reached the splendid total
of over $4,300,000, one-fourth of
which amount will be returned to the
chapters on proper application being
made therefor and approved by the
Division Manager, it is proper at this
time to give consideration to the Red
Cross work of the future.
From this time on, the needs of the
Red Cross are going to be great, both
in the matter of supplies and attent-
ion to our troops abroad, their fami-
lies in the work of assisting the de-
vastated countries of our Allies, and
the care rehabilitation of their pres
ents itself is: care our Chapters prop
erly organized to do their share of
this work."
This entire Division is now well sup
piled with Chapters; in fact, we have
more Chapters than we really need,
and many of them are scarcely large
enough and strong enough to properly
do the work of Red Cross Chapter.
This question will be discussed later
at greater length-the immediate
question is "Are our Chapters pre-
pared to take up the work."

Yes; so are those of all Europe. But

fact that of all the allies Frances bur-

The usual daily artillery strafe had

tons of metal had been bowling above
our heads from both sides, far up and

Careful figuring, conducted very
shortly thereafter in one of the Red

whole party that if it hadn't been for

HOW TO BUY POULTRY
Government Warns Against Ice
Packed Chickens.
Worth 10 to f3 Per Cent Per Pound
Less Than Those Properly
Handled.

Washington. - Paying the same
price for wet-packed chickens as for
dry-packed involves heavy money loss
to the consumer, according to the
dressed poultry specialists of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
Government experiments have shown
that wet-packing broiler and sending
it to market on ice causes it to lose IS
per cent of its value and fowls lose
about 10 per cent. If dry-packed broil-
ers are worth 40 cents, wet-packed are
not worth more than So cents if dry
packed fowls cost 80 cents, wet-packed
one should not cost over 81 cents.
A chicken thrown into ice water to
remove animal heat and sent to market
in a barrel in direct contact with
cracked ice, it is pointed out, absorbs
water for which the consumer has to
pay chicken prices. The water also
dissolves out from the chicken valua-
bic flavoring and nutritive substances.
These 20 into the water at the bottom
of the barrel along with filth that is
washed from dirty feet and bloody
heads, and trickleS downward over the
poultry.
With a dry-packed chicken the ami
NAL heat is removed by hanging the
bird in an artiicially cooled room
maintained at nearly freezing tempera-
ture. The chicken is then packed into
a box containing II birds and sent to
market. The box is hauled in refriger-
ator cars and is kept by good retailers
in good ice boxes until sold. The bird
is never wet, has no chance to absorb
water or becomes washed out. A bird
should never be wet until it gets a
final quick rinsing off in the house
wife's kitchen. The practice of some
housewives Of soaking Il chicken after
it is dressed in IA pan of water, even
for an hour or two, helps TO leach out
valuable qualities.
