MORE SALAD
The benefits derived from the habit

I The benefits derived from the habit
or custom of eating raw vegetables
as we'll as raw fruits are not suffi-
GENTLY known to the public, I Judge
from the frequent inquiries I receive
from readers. It seems that certain
individuals feel craving for eating
such raw vegetables as potato, car
rots, turnips and the like, and worry
about imaginary harm from indulg-
ing the craving. They should not
worry. They should enjoy the raw
vegetable almost to their hearts con-
tent.
Man is the only animal that cooks
his food. And it Is not so long ago,
measured in terms of evolution, that
he acquired the habit. There is there
fore verv little sound sense in the
argument that man has become &C.
customed to cooked food and cannot
get along without cooking most of
his food.
I do not mean to advocate any
fanatical or faddish dietary scheme.
I want my meat very thoroughly
cooked, indeed, and I simply can't
understand the taste which calls for
underdone or rare meat. But I do
wish to advocate more salad on more
tables, and so assure the many mis-
informed people who like raw things
but are afraid to eat 'em, that they
should indulge such appetite for the
benefit of health.
There is nothing in the way of a
food which more deserves the name
of health food than raw onions and
taken with your favorite salad Dress
ing it makes dish fit to tempt Es-
culapius or his daughter.
Then there are lettuce, celery, to-
mato, carrots, cucumber, parsley, wa
tercress, mint and several other
things which may be advantageously
eaten raw in salad combinations or
alone.
There is a taboo against feeding
raw vegetables or even raw fruits to
children under 4 years of age, par.
ticularly in the summer time. I am
not prepared to oyerturn all the rul-
ings laid down by the masters about
this. should feed my own young
almost everything I have mentioned,
but in only minute quantities at first
and very carefully scraped or broken
up and run through a coarse sieve to
remove the coarser woody fiber which
is not so readily handled by the di-
gestion of an infant. AS for feeding
very young children raw fruit, this,
too, is in my Judgment a healthful
and advisable practice. provided the
fruit is thoroughly ripe and unques-
tionably clean.
Fruit purchased in the market is
sometimes seriously contaminated by
filthy handlers or diseased handlers,
and for that reason it must be care
fully washed if it is to be eaten raw.
Any excess or error in feeding
young child raw vegetable or raw
fruit may cause an upset, but it does
not cause any serious illness.
There are several reasons why we
should eat more raw food. From such
sources we get the Wtamins in their
richest concentration. We need also
the mineral matter, the mineral salts,
which are furnished by raw foods,
particularly green stuff. Cooking ex-
tracts and wastes considerable Of this

Sound and Proper

News dispatches late Tuesday con-
tanned the information that the
house committee on military affairs
has asked Frank T. Hines, veterans
administrator, to demand the resigna-
ton of William Wolff Smith, general
counsel of the Veterans administra-
ton.
Smith is listed on the rolls of the
veterans bureau as a war veteran en-
titled to payment for complete dis
ability. He is listed on the salary roll
of the same department for healthy
sum. 1t seems clear that the action
of the house committee is just and
reasonable. He can have no legal or
moral right to be on both those pay
rolls. He should get off one or the
other or else his disability payments
should be scaled down.

A Thrill That Is Ever New

One Of the most striking things in
modern life is the intense, wistful in

Alfred E. Smiths Speech


There is a jam in Washington be-
cause political dickering stands in
the way Of making necessary govern
ment economies and passing an ade-
quate tax bill. Leaders of both par
ties sidetrack the program by indulg-
ing in by-play, both sides with their
eyes on the party conventions a
month hence.
Into this situation steps Alfred E.
Smith. With his usual boldness he
throws off party considerations and
appeals for -partiSanship in the
emergency. He even goes so far as
to say, give the president power to
eliminate waste by consolidating bu-
reaus-the man who happens to rep
resent the party he opposes and who
defeated him for the presidency.
II believe" says Mr.. Smith, 'it is
the patriotic duty of every member
OF congress from now until adjourn
nent to discourage and avoid all
blocs, cabals, insurgencies and mug
wump tactics by whatever name they
are called, which bedevil legislation,
increase the depression. unsettle bus
iness and endanger our credit at
home and abroad"
Mr.. Smith attacked the cash bonus
proposal and favored a beer tax, an
extension Of the war iebt morato-
rum, public works, unemployment
relief and 2 sales tax.
While we disagree with one or two

PARIS BOMBED

On the night of May 81, 1918, Ger
man aviators made an air raid on
Paris.
Bombs were dropped in all parts
Of the city, causing 10 deaths and
millions in property damage. Rail-
roads north and northeast of Paris
were also attacked, but the bombs
dropped did slight damage.
Russia was experiencing the hor-
rors of war. On this day cholera
broke out in Astrakhan and in the
Caspian sea region. This plague, al
though stopped after short period
took large toll of lives.
The war department received re-
ports that the first of the U. S. field
armies had been organized and was
in service in France. The total
strength Of this army was about 200,-
600 men.

The Milkmaid Passes

The milkmaid has been one OF the
last to bow in eulogistic resignation
to the advance of the times and the
irresistible march of progress. The
efficiency and reliability of the ma
chine have been too much for even
her highly skilled but, at times, un-
certain hands. That picturesque char
acter of so many dramas, the sub
ject of innumerable poems, the he
rome of many romantic tale no
longer is carried off by the prince
in disguise, or gets proposal of mar
riage from the squire's son, as she
cries over spilled milk at the turn
stile.
Instead, she presses the button
which sets the milking machine in
operation, while the prince figures
out the homogenizer and the squire's
son looks after the battery Of cream
ripener- pasteurizers, after he has
finished adjusting the butter print
ing and wrapping machines. For.
from COW to consumer, the human
hand now has naught to do but turn
the switch. Machinery does the rest.
1t is this mechanization that has
contributed much to the success of
the dairy industry. and contributed
no small part to its relative stability.
The past two years have proven that
it is immune, to an extent, to any
general business dizziness, due to the
universal consumption of the prod
uct. its constant necessity and the
almost uniform demand for it
throughout the year. Specializing in
probably the most important articles
of food, which are necessities of life,

more by population changes or shifts
than by any other single factor. 1t
has, nevertheless, been affected by
general agricultural conditions.
changes in the methods of marketing
products, new trends in retail distri-
button, which have resulted from the
activity of large dairy combines.
It's magnitude places it in one Of
the most important divisions of the
American agricultural industry, as
about one-fourth, or s3,0O0,OOO,O 900, of
the total annual income received by
American farmers for all products is
derived from the sale of dairy prod
ucts. This represents about two and
G half times the annual value of the
cotton crop two and a half times the
value Of the beef and veal marketed,
more than three times the value of
wheat harvested, and exceeds the to-
tai wholesale value of motor vehicles
produced annually in the United
States and Canada.
To provide this vast national
wealth, there were 22,975,00O milk
cows on American farms in 1881. The
average annual production per COW is
between $500 and 5000 pounds; i. e.,
between 562 and 625 gallons. These
cows represent an average value of
$00.05 per head.

which the American farmer has in
