The Long Arm of Mercy
By DR.. FRANK CRANE

The Red Cross is the Long Arm Of Mercy.
1t is the Kindness Of Mankind-organized.
In Man IS an Angel and Devil. Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde The Red Cross the Good aroused energized

1t is the best antidote we know to tn bane Of war
There are other Charities more or less helpful The
Red Cross the mghtiest Of all Charities the Love and Pity
Of all men made supremey efficient.

preston Of that religion
The Red Cross is Humanity united in Service
1t asks mans opinions only his need.

to him it goes.
The Red Cross is so Efficient that Governments recog
it, Pure in its purpose that whoever wishes well his
fellow desires to help it, Clean administration
that the most suspicious can find no fault in it.
The Red Cross only seeks alleviate the cruete
of War; is the expression of those human sentiments that
day will put end to War.
1t is the impulse of Love- striving the
pulse of Hate
1t is Mercys cooperation struggling against Wars ri

1t is the Society in which every Man. Woman and

ICE CREAM IN PLENTY
FOOD DIRECTOR SAYS
But Sherbets and lees Placed Under
the Ban During the Coming sum
mer.

Sherbets and frozen ices are under
the ban in Utah during the present
summer season.
Word has gone out from the offices
of the food administrator TO this ef-
feet and the further word, or sugges-
ton. has accompanied ii to the effect
that any manufacturer found violat-
ing the order will in all probability
Immediately thereafter find himself
lacking that much-coveted document
a government license under which he
is permitted TO do business.
There are several reasons why the
ban has been placed on sherbets and
ices. In the first place the ground is
taken that sherbets and ices are not
particularly nourishing and that much
sugar is used in their manufacture.
In the second place it is pointed out
that. with the departure of nearly
900 600 of Americans for Europe. a
surplus of dairy products has resulted.
Milk. of course. forms large and i'm
portant part of this surplus and as
milk and cream are foods. it is the
opinion of the food administration
that ice cream should be substituted
IOl SntIuttS anu ANNos ANA ~--N
that ice cream is a food with much
nourishment in it,. and for the addi-
tional reason that the dairy interests
will be better able to dispose Of their
products to mutual advantage.
This question was asked in connec-
tion with the new rule: But If sher-
bets and ices are placed under the
ban and ice cream is urged upon the
patriotic people of the state. won't the
dealers in ice cream Immediately
raise the price OF that delicacy?
The answer was that the present
price of ice cream has been fixed by
the dealers themselves. presumably
with a fair margin of profit. and that
they would not be permitted to IN
crease the prices. it being urged that
/ it would be eminently unfair TO charge
tho public a higher rate. because OF
Increased demand. when the increas-
ed demand was the result Of the FOOD
administration action taken for the
4 lanefit of both manufacturer and the
nublic.-Salt Lake Tribune.

SAYORY MEAT SAVERS.

Beans. peas. and other legumes are
especially important articles OF food
ar this time because OF the large
amount OF protein they contain. which
makes them valuable as meat savers.
The legume protein. however. Is not
a complete substitute for that sup
piled by meat. fish. poultry. eggs. milk.
cheese. etc. The legumes will not.
therefore. entirely take the place OF
meat and similar sources Of protein
i'm the diet They should perhaps be
loked upon as meat savers rather than
meat substitutes. They will perform
their function as food better il used
in connection with some OF the other
sources Of protein named rather than
alone. For this reason such dishes As
the following. for example. are pref
cradle 10 beans or other iegumes
alone: Pork and beans. Boston roast
Ccold baked beans and cheesel. bean
soup with boiled egg, stews OF meat
and legumes. bean croGuettes Win
boiled egg. and bean chowders ana

HUGHES WILL ASSIST
IN AIRPLANE INVESTIGATION
Appointment by the President, and
Acceptance, OYershadOws Other
Washington Happenings.

President Wilson has summoned
Charles E. Hughes to act with Attor-
ney General Gregory in the investiga-
ton of criminal charges made in con-
nection with aircraft production. Mr..
Hughes acceptance of the task was
announced Wednesday at the White
House, and he will come to Washing
ton in a few days to go over plans
with the attorney general.
This announcement Oyershadows in
interest another development which
created stir at the capitol. In a
letter to Senator Martin, the Demo-
cratic leader, the president earlier in
the day had emphatically reiterated
his opposition to the phrasing of a
pending resolution authorizing furth-
er inquiry by the senate military com
mittee into aviation and other phases
Of war preparations. He declared he
would regard the passage of such a
resolution as a vote OF want OF con-
fidence in the administration and vir-
tually as an attempt to take over the
conduct of the war
In designating former Justice
Hughes, whose record in the New
York insurance investigation is well
remembered, the president said he felt
the department of Justices investiga-
ton was of the very greatest impOr-
tance; that if any person were found
TO be guilty they might be prosecuted
vigorously and promptly, and that the
regulations of those attacked might
be protected if the charges were found
groundless.
The letter to Senator Martin was
the subject of heated discussion. Sen
ator Chamberlain of Oregon, who in
troduced the resolution of inquiry
called before the senate expenditures
committee considering IT, declared
there was no intention of investigating
the conduct of the war" and that the
resolution was worded as it was only
to give the military committee, OF
which he is chairman, authority to re-
sumo its previous investigations. The
senator also issued a statement in
which he explained that no charges
had been made against Major General
Squier or Rear Admiral Taylor, the
army, and navy members of the air
craft board.
The expenditures committee, by a
vote of to 2, amended the resolution
Dy striking out reference to the con-
duct of the war and adding a provisc
specifically limiting the scope of the
committees activities. If the senate
refused to adopt the resolution as
amended, Senator Chamberlain indi.
Gated he would drop the investigation
planned.
Administration leaders were of the
opinion, however. that the amendment
would be acceptable at the White
House and that the resolution would
be passed. If so, the military com.
mittee will proceed independently Of
the department of justice inquiry.
