such as uric acid-drink plenty of water

WOMEN FIRM IN PATRIOTISM.
War Council Members Ready to Go
Into Fields If Necessary to As
sure Victory


Denver.-It was q determined, brave
and loyal coterie of women that gath
cred at the capitol and planned for
big things in the way of food produc-
tion and conservation during 1918.
They represented the womens execu-
tive committee Of the Colorado divis-
ion of the Food Administration and
met at the call of Mrs. w. H. Kistler,
chairman.
They came away with the avowed
purpose of not only passing resolu-
tions and making suggestions, but to
get behind a tractor, or a rake, or a
harvester, if necessary. They looked
forward to the prospect of getting in
to the beat fields, or the orchard, or
the harvest field, or the cannery,
should the present scarcity of labor
be unchanged next summer.
They adopted working program
containing five chief issues, as fol-
lows:
% Conservation of coal.
(2) The education of Colorado citi-
zsns as to the value and use of the
pinto bean, a Colorado product most
valuable as food and economical from
the standpoint of transportation.
(3) The preservation of milk herds
in the face of extreme price of feed,
for the same, and the education of the
food value of milk, even at its ad-
vanced price.
(4) The increased use of potatoes,
thereby preventing loss to the farm
ers, and saving of other foods for the
allies.
(5) The training of women in what
ever station in life, whose present du-
ties will permit, for service, especial
ly in agricultural pursuits and labor
that may fill the places of men called
to the front
These recommendations are to be
carried back by the twenty-seven
members of the executive committee,
and by other women interested in the
cause. to every county of the common
wealth.

who have given unstintedly of their
time and effort to make this member
ship campaign a success, but the
wonderful achievement of enrolling
one-flfth of the entire population of
the United States as members of the
American Red Cross is less a triumph
than it is call to greater service.
The Red Cross is not merely hu-
manitarian organization, separate and
distinct from others, but it is the
modified heart and spirit of the whole
American people. The American Red
Cross is carrying q message of love
and sympathy to the American sold
iers and sailors and to the troops and
civilian population of our allies in all
parts of the world; it is seeking to al
leviate the suffering incident to the
war; it is seeking to shorten the war,
and it is seeking to lay foundation
for . more enduring peace when the
war is over.
As we stand on the threshold of a
new year in this hour of world trag-
edy, there can be but one thought in
the minds of the twenty-five million
members of the American Red Cross
and that is to serve and sacrifice as
never before.
