Whv France Needs Beef.

Since the outbreak of the war
France suffered a loss of 100000
head of cattle Moreover, the cattle
greatly lost in weight. Before the
war the average weight in meat OF
slaughtered cattle was from no to
$50 pounds, whereas today it hardly
exceeds $50 or $40 pounds. That is
why France needs the American beef
so much today.

In 1914 an American woman, Fran
ces Wilson Huard, watched hundreds
upon hundreds of refugees stream
along that road toward Paris.
-Four years later little group of
American canteen workers were in
Chateau-Thierry watching an ever-mOv-
ing procession in the other direction.
The town for the possession of which
so many American lives had been laid
down was safe at last; so safe that
the eVer-cautiOuS authorities asked for
women to run Red Cross canteen
there, and thus it came about that q
little group of us were able to follow
orr own troops into the famous village.
We set up our kakhi tent on the lawn
of the chateau and from there we
SAW the whole panorama of war go
by. 1t was Il strange sight to women,
an uncomfortable sight, if one could not
feel that in some small human way
one was of service But our canteen,
with its huge sign American Red Cross,
drew troops from the road as a honey
pot draws flies; and with the villagers
who had come home, we were almost
as popular rs the fountain across the
way. So we came to know that we
were of use--a stimulus to that weary
but indOmitahle fellow, the poilu; a
kind of cross between diversion and
oracle to the villagers; and, best of
all. a bit of home to our own men.
Gee" Il young artilleryman said to
me one day. you're from home, aren't
you? But | don't suppose you come

From our duties at the marmites,
cache or counter, we could look out
upon the cross road and the fountain
of the little village, two years ago un-
known to most of us, now an unforget-
table word in American history. For
us who have been there, it is an even
more unforgettable memory.

The most hateful chapter of the
work OF science in war was the in
PRODUCTION of chemical warfare. The
first gas attack, on April %, 1915, and
the five others that followed within
little more than a month, found the
allies unprepared, and it was not I'm.
I'll September that they were able in
any way to retaliate But the imme-
date reply was one that did honor to
science. Due to the splendid work Of
the late Colonel Harrison a system Of
defense by gas masks was established
in which the allies were for the greater
part of the war far ahead of their adj
versaries, who only succeeded in com
ing up to them by learning and copy
ing our methods. It was impossible to
estimate what would have been the
destruction caused by toxic gases but
for these defensive measures.

When you are tempeted to worry
about something, write down the cause
of the worry on paper and that night
or at the end of the week, you'll find
it has faded away. Most of us worry
over objects that never appear of
events that never take place And
worry is the greatest enemy of sue
cess, health and happiness So after
this, when you are inclined to worry
over next months rent or the crops, or
the weather, or any of the millions of
other things that come up and make
lines on your face, write them down
and see how they come out. The large
majority of them will never material
ize at all and the others will all turn
out for the best, Cultivate this habit
and after a while, you will learn what
a foolish slave worry makes of all of
us.
