MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to e. Fl. 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 it worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
q broad field for investigation.

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

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their f1ocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
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 a 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,
$1776 per 100 pounds; October, SIT % !;
November and December, $16OS; jan
larry, $14.40. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as DOSSihle
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,SO7 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
34l,9OO, a decrease Of 1855 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS;

There is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ac-
compIish this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element in proportion to its means.
1t is a matter Of equality of bur-
den; a matter Of minute saving
and substitution at every point in
the 100000 kitchens, on the TO-
0C0,o dinner tables, and in the
100000 manufacturing, whole
sale and retail establishments Of
the country.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-02-08

Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrif &c dairy herds for beef
because of the lack Of necessary feed
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical
l. Unless the Allies fight they never yet have
fought defeat threatens Hungry men cannot fight
at their best, hungry nations. France, England
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat savings-They must have wheat. It is the
alone spare it to them. By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we
support those who fighting our battles And
can do without stinting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just good.
The Corn Of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's, a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. 1t has given in such bounty
as was never known before Tons of corn Train,
loads Of corn Five hundred million bushels and
above our regular needs, All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! It is the true American
food. The Indians hardest of races lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent For great SECTION f OF our country . It
fought it, history tells Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn something-Con 1t isn't one food. It's a

Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
corn's Infinite variety-How much do you know about
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing about it? Here few
of its uses:

make good dishes for dinner, supper lunch or break

When you are holding down a seat

when the other fellow is holding down
a seat in a crowded street car, and
you get on with your girl and she has

why the other fellow shouldn't give
up his seat except that he is an eight

Why is 1t that the fast young man
never uses his speed to go in the right
direction?
We are naturally SO lazy that al

There is something in womans

optimist is happy because a letter
doesn't contain a bill.

Today We Celebrate
Infant PIOdiGieS.

Infant Prodigies.
Infant prodigies are nothing un-
common, but probably the most re-
markable infant was Christian Hell
necken. who was born in Lubbock, Ger
many, 1877 years ago today, June 26,
1921. 1t would be impossible to be-
lieve the accounts of the feats per-
formed by this astonishing baby, If
they are not so well authenticated by
scientists of the highest attainments,
who could not possibly have been de-
ceived.
To begin with, little Christian was
less than twenty-four hours old when
he began to talk. He enunciated per-
fectly lengthy sentences, and while
this gift was at first initiative, within
a week of his arrival in the world he
could speak sensibly, and express per-
fectly the thoughts Of mature man.
BY the time he was q year old there
were few subjects of conversation be-
yond his ken-and yet he was a small
infant for his age! At thirteen months
he had mastered the Bible from cover
to cover, and could quote entire chap
ters from almost any book of the
Holy Writ.
After having absorbed the lore of
the old and new testaments, he turned
to history for mental pabulum. He
was intensely interested in history,
and at thirty months he could pass
the strictest examination in both an
cient and modern history, and at the
age of three was as familiar with
Latin and French as he was with his
native tongue. When a little past
three he was taken to the royal court
of Denmark, where his learning and
gift of tongues astounded not only
the ruler and the mobiles, but the fore
most scientific men of the country.
German, French and Danish savants
by the score put the child to every
possible test, and the explanations of
his precocity were numerous and con-
Trajectory.
Little Heinecken did not live long in
the world astonished by his powers.
He was of delicate constitution, and
was permitted to imbibe of natures
nourishment until he was past five.
The physicians then advised his
mother to wean him. 1t was a fatal
mistake, for within a week he was
dead.
OF other celebrated examples of in
FAINT precocity, one of the best known
was that of Mozart, who composed
minuets and played the clavicord at
the tender age of four. William Gull
len Bryant published a volume of
verse at fourteen, and had barely
passed his majority when he wrote
the immortal '"Thanatopsis." Byron
Shelly and others of the choice COM
pany of immortals were also youth
full prodigies.
