FRANCE JUST RIGHT
Expert Dietitians Devise PaIata'
bic Menus for Soldiers in
Hospitals and Canteens.

France is much interested In Ameri-
can cooking, which is truly a crafty
ing compliment to nation which
prints its fashionable menus mostly in
French. The two hundred and more
American Red Cross canteens dotting
both the French and American lines of
communication have been success
with the Poilu as well as the Yank,
and that we'll known French organiza-
ton for the wounded, known as the
Bien-Etre du Blesse, has opened a
number of model kitchens in French
hospitals, usually in charge of anna
teur dietitians, who consult a profess
sional dietitian provided by the Amer
lean Red Cross, who goes about
among these hospitals and offers sug-
gestiOns and advice.
Three hundred trained dietitians are
| now in service in hospitals, canteens
or kitchens on Red Cross hospital
| trains in France. The American Elk.

For the double purpose of providing

Red Cross has established a number o
farms and dairies in connection witt
hospitals. Besides their great practi
cal value they have given an enorInou
amount of entertainment to the men
The French government, more than in
Z terested, has loaned some thousand
. of cows, and altogether it is a sehem
; which appeals to everybody
But it is not alone for the soldier
that the Red Cross does some of it

The American Red Cross in Franc
thinks in terms of huge figures, mai

MANY LIVES SAVED
IN MINNESOTA FIRE

Heroic devotion to duty on the part
of Red Cross workers in northeastern
Minnesota saved hundreds of lives,
soothed untold pain and fed, housed
and comforted tens of thousands of
homeless refugees in the awful forest
fires which devastated district of 100
square miles.
The Duluth Red Cross Immediately
formed a committee, opened the armo-
~, the churches and the courthouse
as a temporary refuge for the victims
The canteen service in Duluth and also
in Superior, Wisconsin. served hot
meals The First Aid Department or
the Nursing Service had physicians
and nurses ready to meet all the in
coming trains, and the Motor Corps
secured all the roads leading out OF
Duluth, bringing in hundreds of peo-
pie who were exposed to extreme peril,
and worked for 24 hours without
pause for rest.

Soldier FARM COMMUNITIES.


The plan Of the federal government

the United States reclamation service,
and DR.. Elwood Mead, consulting en-.
ginecr Of that services at a meeting re-
Gently held in Springfield, Mass, to
discuss the possibilities in New Eng
land
The great waste areas of Massachus-
ctts were mentioned as promising fields
for such undertakings. The first pro-
position is for the several states to
purchase the lands and he federal
government to pay for thc reclamation
of these lands and their preparation
for cultivation, and the soldier settle
mcnt board (whethcr n federal or state
organization IS not stated) shall make
arrangements for repayment to the
state Of tho cost of the land The see
oud plan would be on cooperative
basis and the soldier settlement hoard
shall pay twenty-five per cent of the
cost of reclamation and shall have the
option, under the supervision Of the
secreary of the interior, TO control the
preparation Of the land as homes Only
tracts Of 10000 acres and 100 homes or
more would be considered The national
government would appropriate $25,OOO,O0O
or more to carry out this work
That is the plan, but it does not APP

ousiy in these columns. Tracts OF
10000 acres would he available in but
few states and what there are would

UNIVERSAL MEMBERSHIP.

The purpose of the Red Cross Christ

possible words. is to see that every
man and woman in every city and COM
munity throughout the United States,
and wherever Americans may be, has
the opportunity TO join the Red Cross
or to renew his or her membership.
Nothing short of universal membership
is the goal. A 1919 Red Cross men,

each member of the family enrolled.

doctor called it tonsilitis, which meant
that her throat was very much
swollen.
"She was in bed for quite number
of days, for her throat was very sore
and it was very hard for her to Swal-

seemed very big, and her throat seem
ed to be so narrow that it wouldn't
let her swallow.
But after q day or so the very,
very bad soreness went away and she
found there was one sort of a very
nice dessert which she could eat most
easily.

Banking Up, Vermont Houses
(Bv Daniel l.. Cadv.A

(By Daniel l.. Cady.)
\ house without suller wall
Is Jest no kind of house at all;
\ mud or CLAIBORNE, sill
Would be tabu III Underhill;
They always excavate the spot
Beneath building in Charlotte;
You find. Jest as you s'pose you would,
Vermont foundations pretty good
But here's the gall inside the cup,
They everyone need banking mp
No underpinning ever cost
Enough to wholly block the frost:
Unless you pack it round with leaves
The cistern pump will have the heaves;
The spuds and turnips turn TO stone,
The headcheese harden into bone;
Your wife's preserves all go to waste,
our cider lose that claret taste
You'll lack the means to dine or sup
Unless you bank your buildings up.
It's quite a little labor-quite,
To bank house and do it right;
You've lost the boards you used before
And have to 90 and hunt for more;
I've seen old hencoops, sheepraeks, doors
Yes Sir: and parts of stable floors.
The pen that held the fatted calf,
All utilized in this behalf
I'll bet 'twould bother Bertha krupp
To bank the whole Of Hinesburg up.
1t gets SO late before you start
The ground is like a miser's heart.
The stakes you drive with stinginl
whacks,
Do nothing, much, but dent the axe;
At last your temper gets so tense
1 You yank the piekets off the fence;
Before the leaves your house encase,
There's nothing loose around the place
1t amt like touring in "Hup,
This banking of building up.
The boxing" done, the boys begin
To rake the leaves and pile EN- in;
The youngster cocks EN- up like hay,
! While Johnny baskets EN- away;
But, AIy he treads EN- in SO stout
He pokes the basket bottoms out,
/ And then, BY George, the first you know
1t starts 60 rain and slcet and snow
There's bitter, sure inside the cup
| OF him who banks building up.
Right here you have to make pause
OF several days until it thaws,
And then the sodden mess demands
New leaves and labor at your hands;
At last your work with slabs you crown
And rob wall to hold EN- down;
You then go in and heave a sigh.
Aud fix the FIRE and burn pie
The cat walks round beside the pup,

One Of the consequences of war will
be the changing Of many national holi
days in the world There arc already
several new nations aud with peace ne
gotlations others may come into exis-
tence. Birthdays of royal personages
were formerly celebrated as national
holidays in many countries, but many
Of these whilom dignitaries arc no longer
in position which entities them to
that distinction. During the present
year many Latin American republics
celebrated the Fourth of July out Of
compliment to the United States, and
the fourteenth of July in honor Of
France. 1t has been suggested that
November be observed in the future
as Victory Day in all the allied coun-
tries and the United States 1t would
seem o fitting thing TO set apart FOL
practically a universal celebration tht
anniversary of that day, which If is tc
he hoped marks the beginning of new
era; that of peace and safety for tbs

The law must necessarily be an inter
national one as the sea is not the pos
session of any single nation. Being in
ternational in its nature it must be en-
forced by some international authori-
y, preferably league of nations.
Freedom of the seas in times of peace
has long been established but in times
of war, especially the last war, it is
seldom observed. The freedom of the
seas that will be proposed to the peace
congress at Versailles undoubtedly will
be the determination of the rights of
neutral nations 70 the sea III times OF
war and the creation of proper inter
national tribunal to settle disputes that
may arise andsto enforce the provisions
Of the agreement.
The infringement Of the rights o.
neutralS by both Germany and Eng
land during the recent war are too wei
known to need repetition That neu
trail nations should have the right t,
carry on unmolested thcir legitimat,
commerce while other nations arc a
war with each other viii be conceded
We see nothing that would threaten
the sea power of any nation in the pro
position. 1t would simply restrict til
use of such sea power against nation
at peace. From this standpoint oppc
sition by Great Britain to the freedom
of the seas is unwarrantcd and If mad
would place her in dsagreeable pc
sition in the family of nations. Eng
land cannot afford to take such a pc
sition and we arc confident she wi
not.

Music in Barns Adds to Milk Yield.

Monograph music, occasionally supplant-
ed by orchestra music, has become regu-
lar milking-time feature in the dairy barn
on a large stock farm in Ohio, according
to the December Popular Mechanics Mag
azlne. Commercial, rather than artistic.
reasons have prompted the introduction Of
this feature, it having been found after re-
peated tests that the yield of the cows is
greater when MIXED to the tune of some
sort melodious selection. On several ocea-
slons an orchestra has played for the
cows with the same result, namely, an
increase over the previous normal yield OF
milk
