How to Get
Along With
Less Meat
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

THE MEAT rationing is neces-
sary to winning the war and no
body is kicking about 1t. Be-
sides, it allows us fair share OF
meat.
The proposed two and one-half
pounds a week per person would
seem like a banquet to the
people of other nations.
We usually plan the menu
around meat, fish or fowl be-
cause this is the hearty dish OF
the meal. 1t stays by you.
Then, there is the nutritional
reason.
Meat Is an excellent source of
protein and protein is the build
ing and repair material. Most OF
our tissues and organs are made
up of protein.
Other Protein Foods
We must have certain
amount of this material every
day. but not all of it from meat.
Milk. eggs and cheese also fur
nish complete protein. So even
though we come around to hav-
ing meatless days. we can get
along all right. We can rely on
beans, peas and soybeans for
some of the requirement.
The homemaker can put her
ingenuity TO work and make up
new and interesting dishes--but
she will have to know her nu-
triton as well as her groceries.
Substitutes at the meatless
meals might be a cheese souffle
or grilled cheese sandwiches.
navy bean soup. lima beans with
tomato sauce. or Boston baked
beans. Or serve poached eggs
with a cheese and cream sauce.
and spinach on the side. There's
a dish to please the family!
A man is apt to think he has
TO have a generous serving oil
meat TO keep up his strength.
Well, what does meat furnish?
Protein is the big thing. 1t also
supplies many of the B Vita
minis. You need all these in the
daily menus. But you can get
the minerals and vitamins from
green leafy vegetables and whole
grains and the proteins from the
animal products other than
meat.
Here's What You Need
II is not hard TO get enough
protein to meet your require
ments.
According to the nutrition
yardstick, the average man
needs 20 grams daily. the aver
age woman, so grams; the teen
age boy from IS to 100 grams;
the girl, from IS to 80 grams.
Now, you probably don't want
TO bother with grams. SO here
are the servings that will assure
plenty of protein: A small serv-
ing of about one-fourth pound Of
meat, fish or fowl land, by the
way, of the present rationing
plan we are allowed more than
that daily, plus a pint of milk.
which is needed for calcium and
phosphorus anyway. an egg, and
cheese or cottage cheese. along
with the bread, cereals and
vegetables in the menu add up
10 enough protein for any man.

+'sTime Now
To Clean Up
The Garden
By ISABEL FUCKER
Tarden Editor, TIE Detroit Times


FROM MID-OCTOBER on is
the time for all gardeners to
do their fall cleaning. Seriously.
it is possible to save hours and
hours of valuable springtime by
working through the cool.
crisp days of autumn.
First comes a thorough weed.
ing OF even the tiniest weeds.
Remember that some of them
are perennials and, given a
start now, they will have excel
lent root systems and grow
like sixty in earliest spring.
Next comes the job of NOV
ing all misplaced plants-the
shrubs that are overcrowded.
the tall perennials that are in
the front instead of the back
of the border, the "spreaders
which may be in part moved
elsewhere or discarded. And
don't forget the magenta phlox
that came up next to the bright
red monarda-move one or the
other of them right now to a
place where its brilliant bloom
will not clash.
Loosen the Soil
Now for a thorough cultiva-
ton of the top soil. Don't loosen
it too deeply, half an inch Is
enough. Air in the soil Is just
as important to the roots Of q
plant as the outer air Is to the
leaves. And after the top soil
is loosened is a good time to
fertilize.
Let's talk a bit about fer
tilization. Fertilizers with nitro
gen in them had best wait till
spring, but such substances as
superphosphate may be applied
Just as well in the fall.
If it is possible to get manure,
the combination of it with the
superphosphate is nearly per-
feet for the plant. Bone meal
may be applied in the fall and.
since il takes three months to
dissolve, will be on the job IN
time to help early spring
growth.
Compost Heap
Soil from the compost heap,
with all the organic matter and
and fertilizing elements it COM
tains may best be used in the
fall. Screen 1t through 4 inch
mesh before using. so the un-
decayed material may be re.
turned to the pile to continue
rotting.
Any fertilizer that can be APP
piled in the fall may be mixed
with the compost, saving that
much energy in putting 1t on.
In the vegetable garden or
the garden of ANIMALS all old
stalks that show any signs oil
disease should be removed care
fully, so as not to spread the
trouble and burned.
Soft clean stems may be
turned under for the organic
matter they add to the soil.
Now is the time to plant Z
cover crop and, considering the
growing scarcity of heterogeneous
fertilizers. that crop had better
be of the pea family-such a.
soy beans or clover. II may bs
dug under before seeding In thu
spring

II this experiment proves success
ful, 1t will be applied at all other
Army posts, the War Department
revealed.
The modified experiment to be
tried here will cut in half the
amounts carried on squadron coll
lection sheets during the test per-
iod Of three months. Cognizant Of
the fact that most enlisted men

Dependents
Mean Late
June Pay

All enlisted men eligible % file
claims for dependencies under the
newly enacted dependents aIlot-
ment bill. and who have flied such
claims, viii be paid On the nexi
supplementary payroll. Finance
Officer Capt. George B. Crandall,
said today. These men were red
Lined on the June psyrolls which
had already been made up before
passage Of the law.
A rigid investigation Of all de-
pendency claims must first be
conducted by the War Department
before any such allotments VIII be
paid. Also, deductions OF the SOL
dier's share 10 be contributed must
be made prior 10 payment OF allot-
ments 70 dependents. Therefore,
allotment payments for the five
months, June TO October inclusive,
viii be made on or about Nov. /,
according TO a telegram received
by the Finance Office from Wash
ington.
Rations and quarters for the
first three grades of non-commis-
stoned officers remain the same,
and the new law does not change
the amount Of money for their al
lotments. Eligible Sergeants viii
receive dependency alloiments as
well as ration allotments under the
old ration allowances, II they live
Off the reservation.
Allotmenis for dependents are
classified in two groups under the
new law, class A and class B. Class
A includes the enlisted mans wife
and child or children; class B in
cludes either or both parents, sis
tiers or brothers, who are actually
dependent upon him for support.
Group A allotmeuts are mandatory
whereas group B are optional.
Under the plan, an enlisted man
can list dependents in both groups,
Thus II man lists wife and one
child, the wife receives $50. s22
paid by the enlisted man and the
balance by the government. The
wife receives an additional S12 for
the child. If more children are
listed, $40 for each one Is con-
tributed by the government. II he
: lists his parents or parent, sister
or brother, he likewise contributes
S22 and the government contri-
butes the balance to make UP an
additional s37 for one parent, an
additional $40 if he lists two par
ents, and an additional IS for each
brother or sister.
And II the enlisted man wishes
10 contribute to both groups A and
b, the total deduction from his pay
Is SCI and the government makes
up the balance. In such cases how
ever. the allotment TO one parent
Is limited TO $50. The other allot-
ments remain the same.
