Every egg contains about six or
seven grams Of protein of the same
value as that Of meat. For this rea-
son eggs are widely used as meat sub
stitutes. Children and invalids often
find them easier to digest than meat,
ms they lack the fibrous connective It's

supply iron and phosphorus as we'll as

included in the daily diet Of every

Fully 1000 of that number were COM

And then there were the nurses.
Fifty Of them went from the Univer-

themselves heart and soul to the work
Of nursing back to health wounded
American lads. or easing their dying
Moments. For such work as theirs,

Fred w. Sargent, chairman OF the
Memorial Union. "The graduates and
all those interested in the University
are determined to see that it is rec.

Of our affection shall be not only a

In their honor, but one which shall
embody and keep alive always the
high ideals and splendid spirit in

BUSINESS MEN APPROVE.
Support Million Dollar Campaign Of
Iowa Memorial Union.


Iowa Memorial Union.
Iowa City, 1owa-Not only grad
yates and former students Of the Uni
yersity Of Iowa, but also the business
men of the State, are giving their
support to the million dollar cam
paign for memorial building at the
State University in honor of the he
roes Of Americas war. Fred w. Sar-
gent, chairman of the Iowa Memorial
Union which is in charge of the move
ment, announced today that several
representative commercial bodies in
the State had formally gone on record
in approval Of the campaign and had
urged their members to do all they
could to further it.
."These intelligent and far seeing
business men of our State" said he,
recognize that the Memorial Union
will serve high patriotic purpose in
honoring our war heroes. More than
that, it will add to the State Univer-
sity building of great practical val
ue which will help to produce big
ger, broader men and women for the
life of our State each year. A social
center such as the Union will be will
have facilities for the mental and
spiritual development of students
which must make them better and
more valuable citizens. This aspect
of our undertaking has appealed
strongly to our representative bust
nosa men even when they are not
themselves graduates of the Uniyer-
sity OF Iowa.
/ Among the commercial bodies
which have endorsed the campaign
are the Greater Des Moines Commit
tee, the Chamber of Commerce OF Dies

central meeting place aud room

made Roswell their shopping center,
and there was no place where they
might brush OFF the dust and straight

To prevent apples which are to be
served raw from becoming discolored,
put them, after pairing, into very
weak salt solution Il to 2 per cent?,
the United States department OF ag-
ricultnre suggests. A silver knife is
better to use for pairing apples, pears
and other fruits than one of steel, as
the steel frequently discolors the fruit
and sometimes leaves a noticeable
flavor.
