POLITICAL PARTICLES

Political particles which lacked the
power Of cohesion and so became
separated from other particles in the
mass are now to be everlastingly
welded into high powered and Won
derfully efficient political entity, if
we are to believe-without qualifca-
tions-one Norris Hillquit. In other
words individualistc persons, who
have been unable to get along with
their political party, or who think
they know more than other folks, are
now to dwell together in brotherly
love and unanimity of purpose as the
American-Labor party. The will-o-
the-wsp will snooze in contentmont
by the fireside, the turbulence of the
country's affairs will be stilled like
unto an unruff1ed bay lying placid
under the sheen of a full moon. So
cialist and farmer will sit on the top
rail watching the cows MIXED auto
matically, waiting for someone to
bring them their portion of the
tactical fluid, while the cows chew
! their cuds in blssful relief from the
fussing hands of the farmer toiling
at the udders.

ton is much different and requires
attention." DR.. Mitchell said. PRO
teins as contrasted with carbohyd-

different values in nutrition"
The nitrogen balance method
conducted under certain definite con-
ditions was favored by DR.. Mitchell
to measure protein values. The re-
suits of Investigations of mixed pro-
TENS of foods by this method have
brought out two conclusions, he said
These are:
That the biological value Of pro-
tein depends to a considerable eX-
tent on the level at which they are
fed.
That in general the proteins of diff
fcrent foods do not differ greatly in
nutriment values as is currently sup
posed.

Red Cross is to the disabled of the
war. THE increasing number of ex-
service men on whom the strain of
civilian life is telling, the growth in
cases resulting from shell shock and
nervous strain, and the persisting
problems of economic REIMBURSEMENT
for men who served in our army and
navy, all combine to make the Red
Cross Home service necessary and
integral part of organized social life
today" 1t is said that each month
this service in Maine acts as the re-
sourceful and trustworthy friend to
some 500 former service men and
their families. 1t is maintaining 80
public health nurses in this State and
last year American Red Cross classes
in Maine fitted 654 people to pass life
saving tests.
How to aid a people without in
capacitating them in the matter of
helping themselves, how to relieve
distress without catering to "shift-
lcssness," how to assist a community
in doing that which it ought to do,
without suffering it to impose its
rightful burden on the shoulders Of
the assistant; how to inspire people
to give and to serve and to accept
responsibility, these are formidable
undertakings for any organization.
: The Red Cross is Getting with ap-
prevail along these lines. AS the
! future of any such an effort may best
/ be judged by what it is accomplish
| ing, and as its achievements in a
community should be known to the
! people of that community, there is
I the rightful propaganda. The Red
Cross can say: Here il what we are
doing and we propose to improve on
it. Will you help u.s."

RED CROSS PEACETIME PRO-
GRAM

"Gct acquainted with the peace
time program of the Red Cross in
YOUR community" is the advice which
accompanies a statement received
respecting the peacetime plans of
that organization.
Considering the mighty work which
this order accomplished during the
war and since its plans are surely
entitled to consideration. Following
the war attention .aturally turned to
the problem of utilizing it's splendid
organization for the needs of peace
and extensive development on those
lines resulted. Conditions in Russia
and in the Near East have served to
emphasize the need of maintaining
an organization capable of promptly
and effectively meeting the needs
consequent on catastrophe, wherever
that may happen. The United States
is in no sense insular where the calls
OF humanity are concerned. What
with famine, pestilence and the in
Equities Of man whereby millions
suffer the demand has been great in
recent years.
There are some who would confine
its work to such emergencies but
~, re
the orders splendid facilities are in
the majority and very active in cN-
| tending service to those disabled in
! the war, in public health nursing, life
saving and in the production service.
Regarding the latter it is said:
"One reason why the Red Cross is
always ready to serve instantly in
times Of great emergency or disaster
is because week after week through
/ the year groups Of devoted women
meet in towns and villages all over
| the country and produce large
quantities of necessary garments ror
such calls as they arise. These
groups also make sweaters and bath
robes for the former service mon who
are still in hospitals. and equip loan
closets to help the needy in then
community. Maine has many such
groups working for the Red Cross
\ number of chapters have achieved
quite remarkable results fashionine
useful articles out of clothing which
had been cast aside"
With respect to the Junior Rec
Cross it is urged that this organiza
ton rs the childhood of America
modified through the schools, pub
lie. private and parochial, for 'th'
purpose OF intoxicating the ideals anc
habits of service the world over
with the thought that the men ant
women of tomorrow will rs a resul
of this childhood practise think il
terms of service to others. Thu
Junior Red Cross gives Maine chill
dren actual practice in self govern
ment, and through internationa
correspondence puts them in toucl
with children of 81 countries. BY s.
linking together the children of al
nations in bonds Of understanding
and friendship, the Junior Red eros
stands unrivalled for the future vel
fare OF the world and for interna
tional justice and peace. Twenty
