Skim Milk Is Good Food
Duluth Herald)

N0U30CI1 dQJ
There is a big waste in the dairy industry that might
be saved. Years ago millions of pounds Of good food
in skim milk and buttermilk were turned into the sewers.
Recently this waste has been dried into powder sold for
improving poultry and other livestock rations. Some Of
1t has been used by bakers and by
Now its price is so low that it hardly pays to dry It.
Much skim milk still is wasted. Yet it contains more
than two-thirds of the food value of the whole milk.
Only the butterfat has been taken out, three or four
per cent of the total. More than eight per cent of food
solids remain, twice as much as the butterfat.
And what remains Is even better food, especially for
growing animals, including children.
If milk distributors would furnish skim milk at a price
that would pay them well for the product and the labor
OF bottling it, they could enable many families to increase
their orders.
OF course, children need cream, too, many of them
more than they are getting. But the addition of a liberal
amount OF skim milk would help many Of them.
Why feed to the pigs what the children need?

WHAT MAKES THE BLOOD RED
II you place your thumb firmly
against the back Of your hand, on re-
moving the pressure you will notice
that the skin appears white for a mo-
ment. then becomes pink again. The
pinkness IS due to the presence of
red blood in the capillaries Of the
skin.
The blood is given q red color by
the hemoglobin OF the red blood cells.
Suppose you place a drop Of this blood
on q blotter. Let the figure 100"
stand for the normal amount OF red
coloring. When the amount of hem
oglobin falls below 30 1t is an indica-
ton that the body starves for oxy-
gen. Doctors have instruments for
testing the exact amount of hemo-
globin in the blood.
You will understand how important
the hemoglobin is when you under
stand that it feeds the oxygen to all
parts OF the body. AS the red blood
cells containing the hemoglobin flow
through the lungs the oxygen is pick
ed up temporarily and attached to the
hemoglobin. The red blood cells
then carry the oxygen to the living
cells In other parts of the body. If
anything interferes with the power
Of the body to assimilate the iron out
Ut which the hemoglobin is manu-
featured then there Is not a sufficient
amount Of hemoglobin in your cells
and they can no longer carry suffi-
Gent oxygen. This condition is pres
ent IN anemta. In secondary anemia
there may be a normal number of
red blood cells, but they do not o
tain enough hemoglobin. In most
cases the number of red blood cells
will be greatly reduced so that in
stead of the usual 5000, 900 red blood
cells per cubic millimeter there may
be only 5000, 900 or less. In this case,
when the total number of red blood
cells is seriously reduced there is ma
turally also a decided reduction in
the total amount of hemoglobin in
the body.
Many people think that since the
hemoglobin is made from an iron
compound, all that is necessary to in
the amount of hemoglobin is
to eat more iron. AS a matter of fact,
the foods which contain iron are very
numerous. and many Of them are
common foods. In those who do not
have enough hemoglobin it seems as
though something has happened to
the body'S ability to use the iron
which is present in the food.
Sometimes in a family all living ON

A. The principle of locating a fire
by triangulation is used in locating
forest fires by the Forest Service and
is as follows: At every lookout sta
ton on mountain peaks, there is a
map which shows the true north. A
Pin is stuck into the map at the exact
spot indicating the lookout station.
A circle is drawn around the pin and
the 800 degree marked. An instru-
ment called an 'alidade" which con-
sists of two uprights is pressed close.
against the pin. The smoke of the
fire is then sighted and a reading
taken off the circumference of the
circle. This gives the direction. A
similar reading is taken from anoth-
er lookout station; lines are drawn
from each or the map. and where
they cross is the exact spot where
the fire may be found.

st. Patrick'S Day

Many people celebrate the birthday Of st. Patrick, but
beyond the fact that he was Irish. and asked the snakes
to vacate Ireland, only a few Of those who wear the sham
rock in his honor know just who st. Patrick was.
st. Patrick is believed to have been born somewhere
near the year 3as. His birthday occurred around mid
night on March 8. Whether it was before the clock
struck IL, or just after, nobody ever knew. Therefore,
when the birthday celebrations started. some people kept
one day and some another. Finally it was suggested that
the eight and nine be added, and the 18th kept as an
anniversary. For nearly 1900 years this has been done.
The Irish saint may have been born in Scotland or
France or England. Nobody really knows. But when he
was 16 a band Of marauders carried him and held him
in bondage in Ireland for six years. He escaped. landed
in France. studied in a monastery near the Mediterran-
can, and a little later went back to Ireland as q mis-
sionary.
It was Easter Eve, so they say, when he met the pagan
priests and ~chieftains, who had gathered at Tara for a
heather celebration. King Laeghaire was to start the
blaze on his pile OF fagots after which the other tires
would be kindled.
Patrick saw an opportunity to advance Christianity
He remembered that once upon q time Elijah had called
down fire from Heaven on a night when another group
Of pagans needed converting. The legend says that he
did the same thing.
King Laeghaire had been q devout pagan, so 1t took
considerable teaching to Christanize him. Finally all
stand the Trinity.
st. Patrick went stroling across the Irish braes as he
tried to think of a way to make the king believe. He
noticed a shamrock growing at his feet. He stopped,
plucked the spray, and carried it back to the king. He
asked the monarch if he couldn't see that the Trinity
-. the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost b. were
one, Just as the three leaves on one stem were one. The
king understood and became a Christian.
There are many legends told concerning st. PatrlckS
love of the Irish but one OF the most interesting is laid
In Heaven after the Irish patrons death.
st. Brigid, the mistress of poets and saints and soldiers,
had died more than 400 years before Patrick. One night,
after st. Patrick,s death, the two Irish saints went walk
ing. They couldn't keep their eyes on the golden walls
and the crystal sea. They walked in Heaven. but they
were homesick for Ireland.
They started to reminisce.
They remembered the Ben Of Cuban in the moon
light, the basket of lakes, and the Dingle Peninsula In
q storm.
They came to ~Rhadamanthus the Judge, who had
never been to Ireland and never said he was sorry that
he hadn't been. A terrible fear came to st. Brigid and
st. Patrick. Rhadamanthu would send even an Irish
man to Hell!
st. Brigid went straight to the throne of Heaven and
asked If st. Patrick could judge 1rishmen from that on.
The request was granted. Then a new worry confronted
her. Maybe a bad Irshman might come along: st.
Patrick solved the problem by vowing that II any did, ne
would convert him before passing sentence.

Untrue to a Trust

Charges that Rev. George Whitmeyer, chaplain at the
Illinois state prison at Joliet, melted the prisoners to
riot come as a shock to honest people everywhere. The
church with which Rev. Whitmeyer is affiliated is not
mentioned and it is Just as well. for good people of every
faith will be ashamed OF him If the accusations are
proved to be true.
For Rev. Whitmeyer, according to the charges Of the
prison warden, was untrue to a sacred trust. If he did,
as stated, assert that the prison needed a good riot, it was
a breach of faith which no one can condone.
Ministers and priests of Bismarck serve as ~chapains
of the state prison here, conducting services there and
ministering to the spiritual needs Of a group which
certainly needs sympathetic attention. They have will
aingly assumed that responsibility and have performed
meritorious service both to the unfortunate individuals
In the prison and to the state. With all the power that
God has given them, they have striven to guide erring
footsteps back to the path Of Righteousness. They have
taught the principles of Christian practice in which they
sincerely believe and, in many cases, they have won res
pect and condolences which others could not hope to have.
In contrast with this, picture the situation in this
Illinois prison. Here, so we are told, we have a man
whose duty it is to work for the ~upbuilding OF society
by guiding Alright the minds Of men under his charge,
inflaming those minds by words and suggestions which
could not fail to lead to disaster. In this case they leo
to death for two of his prison flock and to a great deal
Of trouble for the authorities. No one was or could have
been benefited.
The post OF chaplain in q large prison Is an important
one. TO the chaplain, presumably, q prisoner can confide
those things which are nearest his heart. confident that
the advice given will be for his own good. There are
many chaplains in our state prisons who are doing
this work well. Their aim Is to make easier the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Perspiring More

Question: I. L. G. writes: There
seems to be a great deal Of difference
in peoples ability to perspire. If one
has a very dry skin is it possible to
develop more active sweat glands?"
Answer: The skin is one of the i'm
portant eliminative organs of the body
but often becomes inactive through
coor circulation in the skin or be-
cause of the general toxic condition
of the body. The activity of the pores
Of the skin may be increased through
cold showers, but the right amount of
steady perspiration will not take
place until all of the eliminative or
gans are performing their proper
functions. One should induce a sweat
each day, either by hard work or by
taking some vigorous physical cul-
ture exercises.
l~nfrequent Meals
Question: M. S. asks: is it pos
slble to have regular bowel action on
small amounts of food and infre-
qIcnt meals?"
Answer: Yes, it is possible if you
use the right kind of food and the
intestines r already in a healthy
condition. If the colon is too large
from being ~chronically distended with
too much food and from gas pressure
1t will not be able to properly expel
small amounts of food. One who has
constipation of long standing must
usually take a large amount Of non
starchy vegetables and actually stuff
on them for awhile in order to get
three bowel movements a day.
AcidOSis
Question: Mrs. A. j. asks: What
dc you recommend for acidosis?"
Answer: The treatment is for the
patient to live on a well balanced
diet, being particularly careful in Sc
Letting proper food combinations and
using plenty of the alkaline forming
foods.

Evolution Does Operate

Evolution, it seems, is too much of a fact for it to be
ignored, even by the transportation business.
While railroad and bargemen have been saying mean
things about each other and the prospective competition
between railroads and inland waterways for freight traf-
to cooperate with the barge lines on the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers and is planning to develop a river-rail
business.
The president Of this small but apparently enlightened
railroad says: I'VE are going to cooperate with the barge
lines and develop river-rail business in every way we can.
Our willingness to cooperate Is evidenced by the fact
that we place no obstacle in the way Of the barge lines
and that we have established joint rates and through
routes, not only with the federal barge line at Cairo
but with the Mississippi valley barge line and the Ame11-
can barge line at Jappa, Illinois, and Evansville, Indiana,
on the Ohio.
II believe river-rail business will grow, as ! say, but
that the development will be slow due to the extremely
hard times and to the period of adjustment necessary
to the Inauguration Of any new transportation medium"
Heads of larger railroads, still at d~eathgrips with the
waterway menace and still bitterly opposed to further
development of barge systems, may term their fellow
executive a Judas to the cause. The battle will continue
to rage for many years.
But when it is all said and done, both the railroads
and the barge lines will have taken their places in the
nations transportation scheme and most Of the light ex-
press will be handled by airplanes.
