SETS NEH' RECORD
nv SHIPBUILDING
$500 Tons Steel Collier is Ready in Rec
ord Time of Twenty
seven Days.

Washington, May "a new world
record in shipbuilding was established
yesterday at l0;30 when the steel col
lier Tuckahoe, of $500 tons dead weight
was launched at the yards of the New
York Shipguilding company at Camden
The keel of the ship was laid April 3
and when the boat was put into the wat
ter Just 81 days, two hours and so min.
utes was used in the construction.
The worlds record up to this time has
been held by the Skinner & Eddy com
pany of seattle, which launched an $780,.
ton steel freighter in 81 days.
In many respects. however, the feat
accomplished in building the Tuckahoe is
more remarkable one than appears
from the figures, Not only has the hull
been completed, but the boilers are in
place, the engines installed. masts
stepped. tunnels in place, propeller fitted
and rudder hung. II is estimated that
the ship can be completed and delivered
for service Is days after the launching,
thus establishing a record of AZ days
from the laying of the keel.
The launching was made the occasion
of celebration, and President Wilson
has written letter TO the workmen and
executive staff of the New York Ship
building company which will be read
Chairman Edward NJ. Hurley of the
United States shipbuilding board and
Charles NJ Schwab director general of
the Emergency Fleet corporation, will
made addresses The ship will be chris.
tened by Miss Helen Hurley, young
laughter of Chairman Hurley.
The Tuckshoe is $50 feet long, beam
Of 30 feet, and will make a speed of not
less than 1917 knots an hour.

Food Values of Cottage Cheese.

| People have been making and eating
cottage cheese for good many wears
/ but it is doubtful whether or not they
| have given much thought as to the food
value OF it
Cottage cheese j. high protein food
and one of the important meat substi
tutes. 1t contains larger percentage
of protein, pound for pound, than do
most meats and at much lower cost
In every pound Of cottage cheese there
is about three ounces. or one fifth of
pound of protein. practically all of which
is digestibe Meat; have certain
waste, such as bone and gristle, and
usually contain less protein. and it is
a well known fact that meats cost more
per pound.
Protein is the chief body builder, and
it is needed in the system to repair and
make new muscles, tissues and bone.
A pound of cottage cheese daily will
furnish the protein necessary for the
ordinary adult engaged in sedentary
occupation.
For supplying protein, one pound of
cottage cheese is equal TO about: Ia
pounds of beef, W pounds Of pork, ~
pounds of fowl, / l-3 pounds of yea
| l-3 pounds of lamb.
For supplying energy to the human
body, cottage cheese is not equal to the
various kinds of meats, pound for pound,
but it is a much cheaper source than
most meats at the present prices.
One pound of cottage cheese equals
about: to II ounces of beef, / | ounces
of fowl, ) to 8 ounces of pork, 10 ounces
of veal. ounces of lamb.
The addition of little cream or but
ter to the cottage cheese will increase
its energy value. Eat more cottage
cheese; save meat

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY.

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at last
found \ genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore throats, influenza
and la grippe. For years they have
depended chiefly upon the old style
|calomel, which is certainly fine, but
unfortunately many people would not
take 1T because of it's nauseating and
dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
list have perfected nauseless calomel
called "Calotabs" whose medical vir-
tues are vastly improved, the doctors
and druggists are claiming that Gallo
tabs are the ideal remedy to abort a
cold over night and cut an attack
of sore throat or la grippe. They are
also finding it most effective as the
first step in the treatment OF pneu-
monia.

a hundred or two yards Of them, out
they come with absolutely no weapons

worth: 'Kamerad, Kamerad.' With
some few exceptions they absolutely
will not mix it with the Americans.'
