Six years later, Mrs. Meredith
left her farm to lecture at the

Here lectures were one of the
first indications to any one that a
farmer was supposed to have such
an obscure thing as ethics. To the

NEGEIARlANS have maze a lot of persons sus-
piclous about meat. Yet most doctors are con-
Vhced mat meat has proper place in the diet and
some portions Of meat are not only proper but ac-
tualy necessary for the body during its development
Biologists of nutrition recognize two kinds of pro-
ten-anlmal and vegetable. Vegetable proteins are
not complete proteins. Animal proteins including
of course, not only meat but also milk and eggs,
are much more suitable to the body's needs.
Proteins are chemical aminoacids. There are at
least twenty of these and they are found in meat
meats also supply IRON and phosphorus.
IT has been argued that meat tends toward the
production of constipation. The reason is of
course It's concentration. If it is supplemented by
adequate amounts Of fruits, vegetables and bulky
substances, it can not produce constipation
The chief value of meat nowadays is recognized
to be IN relationship to the formation of the blood
Therefore, in cases of deficiencies of the blood even
IN small children, liver may be given in the form of
a liver paste.
This liver paste is made by taking raw liver. or
lightly cooked liver, maceratng it and grinding it
into paste that it may be fed in teaspoon two
or three times week to babies, or it may be given
in other foods.
Liver may also be broiled, boiled or stewed and
mashed into paste and served on bread in vege-
tables or potatoes Some persons recommend the
serving Of steak, beef lamb and chicken to
small children for the two meat feelings
which they may have each week.
HOWEVER, one specialist insists that meat, with
Il 4 the exception of liver should not be given
prominence IN the diet Of the child between the
ages OF to .. Nevertheless there are children with
caprlclous appetltes who may respond TO a feeding
OF meat when they would not respond TO other sub
stances.
The chief value Of liver and Of other organs Of
the body, such as brains, sWeetbreads and kidneys
as have frequently pointed in these columns is
their content Of iron and the vtamnis A and B.
Ihese Wtamins are important for maintaining
healthfu state Of the body and also in the stimua-
ton OF appetite and digestion, and they are quite
necessary for healthful growth
Certainly IN all cases Of deficient nutrition and
in instances in which the blood does not seem to be
developing properly, the of liver, kidney and the
other organs mentioned should be given careful con-
sideraton.
