Protein Vital
In u. Health
Defense Effort

An army Of nutrition workers, scien-
fists, physicians and others in the public
health field are engaged in an all-out
health defense effort to conquer NAL
nutrition, now recognized as Americas
No. l health problem.
In this program to make America
strong by making Americans stronger,
feeding the family is the homemaker's
most important task. 1t is task made
easier by a knowledge of good nutrition
and of the factors necessary in an ade-
quate diet.
Value of Protein
Among the diet factors, protein ranks
first as a body-builder. About Is per
cent of the human body consists Of
protein. No life exists without it. Pro-
tein is necessary for building and re-
pairing body tissues. 1t furnishes energy
and it also enters into the structure of
certain hormones which have a specific
action on vigor and general efficiency.
The word, protein" was coined in
1888 by Mulder, a Dutch chemist, from
the Greek word. "proteois," meaning in
first place" Proteins differ greatly be-
cause they are made up of various
amino acids known as building stones"
When protein is digested these amino
acids are set free and are reconstructed
to fit the needs of each body cell.
A plentiful protein supply is impera-
tive for good health. Persons subsisting
on low-protein diets show slowness in
mental reaction, lowered resistance to
disease and other i'll effects. Authorities
recommend about "a gram or preferably
2/3 gram per pound of body weight as
the daily protein requirement. Thus a
man weighing l55 pounds requires
about 100 grams Of protein daily
about 3.5 ounces. Children require two
to three times as much protein per unit
of body weight as adults.
Protein in Reducing Diet
Contrary to former beliefs that high
protein diets cause kidney disease, ply
sicians now use such diets In treatir
kidney ailments. DR.. Leo X. Campbe
Rush Medical College, Chicago, ba
shown that on diets high In protein.
overweight persons lost to II pound.
monthly. He also proved the value Of
high-protein diet for weight gaining.

unstinted approval.
At 56, Bait is typical Horatio
Alger hero, writes columnist Paul
Mallon in the November Cosmopoli-
tan magazine. Born of a poor
family, he educated himself at
Purdue University, worked his way
up to the presidency of the famous
S.K.F. Industries, has reared a
family of five children and plays
golf with business friends at the
best Philadelphia course.
Most biographies, says Mallon,
would ordinarily end here, but
Bats jumps right back to the be-
ginning and starts all over again.
He saw in the settlement of a
strike at his own plant that people
were establishing new truths and
set about finding out all he could
about them. From his two young
sons he CLEANED the point of view
of the younger generation.
When Bait was asked to join the
Business Advisory Council of the
Department of Commerce, the Ad-
ministration was quick to appraise
his worth, and it was but short
step to his appointment to the
Office of Production Management
where he has planned the bulk of
industrial defense work in the more
important lines such as iron and
steel, aluminium and magnesium,
heat light and power, chemicals,
paper and pulp.
Bats views on current economic
problems, Mallon reports, reveal a
practical business mind which has
been opened. He recognizes the in
evitable trend toward extensive
labor organization, but feels that
labor has yet to produce leadership
equal to its opportunities. he feels
that the cost Of carrying the debt
Smyrna times., 1942-01-01

is the only thing to worry about,
and argues with novel but practical
business reasoning that as long as
the interest rates remain low the
country will not be crushed by its
weight. As for the various blocs
pulling for higher labor prices, for
higher prices Of farm products, Bait
opines the belief that they will
wear each other out by sheer
friction.
Although Bait resembles the
early William Jennings Bryan a ap-
pearance, Mallon says there is
nothing of the politician about him.
He neither talks nor acts like one.
His manner in conversation is di-
rect, approachable, kindly, open,
and newsmen like to question him
because he answers without the
circumlocution so common to
Washington official talk.

Pastor Developing Cloth Fresco

A streamline version of an ancient
art is being developed by the Rev.
erend Omer ]. Chevrette of West
Warren, Mass. He has been grant
ed a patent on his process of
painting fresco on cloth, a work that
seemingly has aroused the interest
of the art world. Under Reverend
Chevrette's process, a sketch is first
outlined in pencil, the cloth is satu-
rated with dyes, and when dry are
covered with water color pigments.
This process gives depth and rich
ness of tone as well as lasting pic
ture. Under the ancient process,
artists first outlined a sketch on
fresh plaster, then laid in colors
which would sink into the plaster
and make permanent picture.
Reverend Chevrette is spending all
his spare time on his new process.

Nursing-all within a year. The
first aid project calls for expansion
of trained units who will serve with
the OCD in time of emergency.
Detachments have been organized
in factories, Office buildings, apart
ment houses and other buildings
where large numbers of persons
work or live. Each unit has To-
Called responsibility, but detach-
ments may be rushed to the scene
of emergency in other parts of the
city through the centrally-controll-
ed assignment desk at Chapter
headquarters. Nurses Aides, new
est of Red Cross volunteers, are
gradates of an 80-hour training
course which qualities them to as
sist registered nurses in hospitals,
clinics and emergency medical CEN
ters. Their place in time of war
became apparent when a survey of
nursing facilities revealed a short
age of regular nursesf. Likewise,
Home Nursing is expected to re-
lieve much of the present burden
on nursing facilities. The 100000

be qualified for simple nursing

Home Nursing t1 fng i expected

done on a mobile basis. Nutrition
