UNIVERSALLY NEEDED FOOD

The war has taught us many things
about food. 1t has taught us we can
substitute corn, barley, rice and other
cereals for wheat without any injury
to our health. 1t has taught us we
can substitute milk, cheese, nuts and
eggs for meat. and syrups for sugar
But there is one food for which
neither this war nor any wars will
eve teach us to use a substitute. This
food is milk. Milk Is the one foot
of universal necessity for children
1t contains all the necessary food ele
ments and there is no substitute fol
1t. 1t is, in fact, the one food which
is called perfect"
Unfortunately, however, milk Is of
ten considered only a beverage, In
stead OF a highly nourishing food. Fol
this reason, when the price of milk
goes up a cent or two, many house
wives reduce their milk order.
But this Is not true economy, fol
milk at any price is the cheapest an
imal food. Twenty-Five cents worth OF
it will give more energy than twenty
five cents worth of meat, eggs, or fish
Worked out on the basis of how much
food of different kinds one can get
for twenty-five cents, in buying milk
at twelve cents a quart one gets as
much protein as in meat at twenty
five cents a pound, or eggs at thirty
five cents a dozen, or fresh cod at
twenty cents a pound.
Some one may ask, "If milk is a
perfect food, why can it not form a
meal by itself?"
This is a pertinent question. The
answer is that milk Is seven-eighths
water and hence is so dilute that an
adult would have to drink quarts
every day in order to get enough en-
ergy from 1t. Milk should be used in
combination with more concentrated
foods for producing energy in order
to have a well balanced meal.
Children and invalids should have
plenty of milk. Germany has been
one of the first to recognize the abso-
lutte necessity of this, and in spite of
her milk shortage, she has maintained
at all hazards the full milk ration for
German children and for the German
hospitals.
This country is more fortunately
situated than the other warning coun-
tries for we are able to give milk free.

EAT ENOUGH, BUT NO MORE!

The war time definition of con-
servation should include an actual
reduction in consumption.
But this is no time to endanger
ones health" a war worker was
heard to argue.
Quite right. The full working
strength of every man and woman
IS needed during these days of ma
tlonal stress as never before. 1t is
not, however, a question of suddenly
eating less than is actually needed
to sustain life and health, but of
discovering the facts that the Ameri-
can man and woman has long eaten
more than is necessary or wholesome.
As an experiment a group of war
workers deliberately reduced their
diet 20 per cent below the nutri
tional standard of 100 grams pro
tein and 5000 calories every "a hours.
In a period covering six months they
found their powers of endurance and
their physical strength did not suffer
but actually increased. They lost
surplus fat, but that was all.
During this time one of the num-
Der had typhoid fever and his i'll
ness was regarded with extraordinary
interest in the light of this reduced
diet. His case proved to be per-
fectly normal one, his recovery no
slower than usual, and he immedi-
ately resumed the self-imposed diet.
Food saving should imply cutting
off all unnecessary consumption.

For a brief time, during the golden

and the town was one of the busiest
and largest of the several which
rose during the boom.
Dyea lay on tidewater at the foot
of the famous Chilcoot Pass and
was an outfitting point for many
of the thousands who surged across
the pass on their way to the gold
fields of the Klondike. Money was
plentiful, laws were few and to Dyea

TALKS At JUNEAU

JUNEAU-Frank Mercerm, a ma

chosen by the local speakers COM
mittee to urge natives to conserve
the supply of deer in Alaska, as a
purely war measure. The natives
will be told that if the war con-
tinues, Alaska may be forced to de-
pend upon her own food resources.
They will be urged to wage system
attic campaign against wolves, which
kill thousands of deer annually. A
plan to save deer from starving dur
ing the severe winters by cutting
green sapplings and otherwise sup
plying them with food when the
snow becomes too deep for them
to forage, will likewise be suggested.
