Milk as n Food,

Economy In the diet does not always
depend upon limiting the use of GER
tain foods, but 1t Is sometimes ques-
ton of actually increasing the use Of
foods which furnish nutritive material
at relatively low cost. Milk belongs
to the latter class, and the housewife
would do well to study its food value
and decide whether her family is using
as much as 1t should. The average
person In this country uses only q
little more than half pint of milk
daily, and this quantity can very prof
itably be increased when safe milk Is
available.
Many people think Of milk only as a
beverage, but II they understood that
II Is In reality a nourishing food they
would increase their daily allowance.
We eat foods for two main reasons |:
First, to renew body wastes and pro-
mote growth by forming new tissues
and fluids; and, second, to supply en-
ergy for carrying on body functions.
Milk contains the bodybuilding mate
rails tproteln and mineral substances,
such as lime and phosphorus), and
also supplies energy.
The following table, compiled by
specialists of the department of agri-
culture, shows the quantities of vari-
ous foods needed to supply as much

What are you doing about winning
this war, anyway?
OF course you take conscientious
interest in 1t, but are you working at
1t just as diligently as though 1t were
your own personal war, and as though
your own personal salvation depended
upon it-which It does?
Home folks have got to do a little
bit more than strangers. You bought
some Of our Liberty bonds? OF
course you did. But a blessed old
pagan away over in the heart Of Asia,
entirely out of touch with us and ow-
Ing us ho duty whatever, bought
100000 worth of these bonds by cable.
You buy War Savings stamp now
and then. Certainly. But bunch Of
poor, hopeless human beings In exile
who can never profit by the liberty
that is to be won-to-wit, the lepers
at Molokai-bought $4,000 worth Of
our savings stamps.
Must Do Your Part.
Now, you, to square yourself with
yourself. have got to do more than a
prince In Persia, or an outcast at Mo-
lokai. 1t doesn't mean a great deal
to give away little money, and to
lend money to the government on the
best security In the world means no
sacrifice at all. II just means thrift
and good sense. To do your part In
your own war You have got to give
up some of the trifiing little things,
some of your personal fads and fan
cies that. to you probably do mean a
good deal.
Take, for instance, that dog, silver
collared, sllver-leashed, pampered, pet
ted and persifnged with a pet name.
Or maybe he isn't collared or leashed
or named. Maybe he is Just a plain
dog that runs where he pleases, even
though he may not please where he
runs. But one way or the other he
Is your dog.
Now, think 1t over. A dog eats as
much as a man-more, II he gets q
chance. Every dog absorbs n ration
that would feed soldier. Either you
feed II TO him. or he goes out some
where and finds It for himself. Also,
a dog demands-and takes-more of
a meat diet than a man. A man may
get along very comfortably and cheer
fully on cabbage and corn cake, pars-
nips and prunes, tomatoes and tabasco.
but a dog has got to have his meat. 1t
may be beef and bacon from your
table, or It may be live sheep from
your neighbor's pasture. If you feed
him HIS meat, he probably consumes
about what man would require. If
he goes and takes 1t himself, he de-
stroys pretty nearly enough to feed a
regiment of men. One dog In single
night has been known TO destroy
$1,000 worth of sheep.

to give every one an opportunity
TO contribute thereto and without
leaving loophole for excuses, us
ing the money received in carrying
out the purposes for which the con-
tributions are made and in doing
this to reach every legitimate need.
If the fund cannot be used for all
legitimate purposes 1t will at least
relieve some Red Cross funds for
those purposes, and thus accomplish
the same end. This will be found
much better than to create needless
antagonism.
The Government receives no more
loyal support from any source than
the Christian Science organization,
and the Government officials at
Washington are aware of this fact
IL our Red Cross friend is not, and
it can be depended upon to aid the
suffering to the best of it's ability.
When the recent disaster occurred
at Halifax. the directors of the
Mother Church promptly chartered a
special train to go to its relief, al
though all the Christian Scientists
in that unfortunate city were re-
ported safe. The Red Cross organi-
zation failed to get train accommo-
dations and requested permission to
join the Christian Science special
1t was promptly granted and a num-
ber of doctors, nurses, as we'll as Red
Cross supplies, were taken along.
Such a thing should occasion no
comment, but, strange to say, 1t did
in certain quarters. as though Chris
tian Scientists would allow any diff
ference of religions to interfere with
so good a purpose. incidentally, 1t
was a newspaperman who first point
ed out to the writer the fact that in
a well-known metropolitan news
paper the Red Cross had taken cred
it for the whole affair)''
Recently the local church placed
plates for the convenience of men,
bers passing out who desired to con-
tribute for the relief of the Halifax
sufferers, under conditions similar
to those when the contribution was
made to the Red Cross. The result
was most gratifying and surprising,
showing that Christian Scientists are
as liberal towards the suffering and
unfortunate. and perhaps more so,
than any other class of people.
There are apologies due from our
Red Cross friend. He has not used
his usual cool business judgment.
Either his commendable zeal for a
good cause or an ineXcusable antag-
onism towards a religion differing
from his own has led him to do un-
commendable things. If citizens of
a free country desire to conduct their
legitimate activities and charities
without ostentation and without al
lowing their names to appear, what
kind of a disposition is that which
would say them nay?
