1t is national policy to feed
the peoples of the occupied
countries liberated by Allied
arms. Reports from Africa,
whose larder had been stripped
bare by the collaborationist
Viehy French, indicate that the
food the Americans brought
with them played large role in
the winning of the natives sup
port. Yet who in the govern
ment could tell, an hour before
the action was planned, what
kinds Of food, and how much,
would be needed?
In the overall picture, esti-
mates indicate that Is per cent
of next years crops will 60 to
military and lease-lend needs.
But until the scenes of action are
chosen, who can plan million
pound menus when those need

factor is responsible for short
ages, why no, ration Immediate

"I'm very sorry. ma'am, but
we're plumb out of bacon this
week. Butter? Yes, we have
some, but it's scarce so we're
limiting each customer to a
quarter-pound. And there are
lots of holes in the canned
goods line
That, or even worse news, Is
the grocer's apology in thou
sands of markets across the ma
ton today. Who's to blame? Ev-
eryone-the trade, the govern
ment, the consumer. And no
one.
The question of food short
ages is so immensely complicat-
ed, with each of many factors
dependent on and interacting on
the others, that it's impossible
to point to any one cause ex-
cept, of course, the war. And in
each scarce product, there are
special causative factors that are
different from those of other
| foods.
Take butter, for example. Be-
gin with the manpower short
age. Cows must be MIXED twice
a day; and fewer hands can't
milk more cows. Add to this the
high prices of beef. The farmer
found, for the first time, that it
was profitable to kill his mich
cows.
DEMAND GROWS
Less hands, fewer cows mean
less butter. On the other side:
Many families who previously
couldn't afford butter are now
able to buy it. Americas troops
must get the best. Americas al
lies must be we'll fed. No won
der Mrs. Housewife sometimes
can't get all she wants.
Follow crop from farm to
consumer and you'll see the
problems. To start with, the far
mer can be absolved of the
blame. He produced IL per cent
more in 1912 than he had in the
previous record-breaking year.
He did so while 100000 per-
sons capable of farm employ
ment were leaving the farm pop
ulation for the armed services or
war industry.
It's after the food has been
grown that the problem starts.
Being highly perishable, fresh
produce must be processed or
shipped to market quickly. But
with a shortage of tin for cans
and new packing machinery,
and with transportation facili-
ties already overtaxed, the dis
tribution problem is immense.
In some cases, the elimination
of peacetime extravagances -
such as the shipping of Washing
ton apples to Michigan, while
Michigan. an apple producing
state itself, ships apples east -
will help solve this problem. In
other cases, some foods will
/ simply become unavailable at
any great distance from the pro-
ducing region.
RETAILERS CAUGHT
The grocer himself has his
problems. Caught in the
squeeze" between mounting
wholesale prices and ceiling-fix-
ed retail prices, he has, in some
cases, stopped carrying q few
Improbable lines.
More than that, il Is becoming
increasingly hard for many gro
GERS to pre-guess demand. Gaso-
line rationing is changing many
a housewives marketing habits,
keeping her closer to home,
swapping her local grocers.
And don't leave out the con-
sumner. With greater incomes
and fewer consumer goods to

The protest from Grand Rapids

ceiyed by the Office OF Defense

deliveries on the Sabbath because
its their holy day. The Seventh

sabbath. And the delicatesseu

A scarcity OF coal in Flint and
Lansing has kept Congressman
William Blackney busy during the
early days OF Congress. Restric-
tons on the distribution of coal
and coke we're sought for Industrial

Not on the factories, particularly,
but on the vast number of defense
workers who have to use coal heat.
So Congressman Blackney APP

or rafting quality which plainly
sounds as If the breathing pas
sages were stopped up.
And, Of course. they are stopped
up. An infection, some kind OF a
germ has infltrated the mucous
membrane Of the nose, the larynX
and windpipe, causing an inham-
matory reaction, including swell
ing Of the lung and narrowing the
paSsageway.
The only question the doctor
wants to ask, the only addition he
makes to the diagnosis concerns
the cause Diphtheria used to be
called also membranous Group, and
twenty or thirty years ago the
chances would be that il child
were reported to have Group, the
cause would be diphtheria. But
thanks TO the universal use OF
diphtheria immunization, the dis
ease is rarely seen nowadays. |
have before me the latest reports
on diohtheria in the United States
in 1871 and 1912. and find that in
y cities there have been no
deaths from diphtheris at all in
those years.
Serious Croupy Condition
However. there is another fire.
quent and serious condition that
causes Group in children. mostly
attacking those under eight years
of age. 1t is a general infection
of the throat, larynx. and wind
pipe, causing the lining mucous
membrane TO swell even to the
point Of obstruction. shutting off
the breath. 1t has. therefore, as
sumed very serious proportions.
The name given it is acute
laryngo- tracheitis, which doesn't
mean very much, since II seems to
be due sometimes TO one germ and
sometimes TO another II is, how
ever, very serious malady.
In spite Of the vagueness about
causation it constitutes, by its
symptoms, an entity. 1t can. be
distinguished from colds and mild
forms of respiratory infection by
the fact that the symptoms tend
to get progressively worse. The
child with a cold begins to get
better and brighter after the first
day. or at most. two days. But not
so with this affection. The child is
more and more Frustrated.
Republication Necessary
II the symptoms therefore do
not respond TO steam inhalations
and ordinary cold remedies. the
little patient should be placed in a
hospital, because the windpipe
may close up. Oxygen inhalatIons
may be necessary. The new pc
nicillin Seems TO be doing a great
deal Of good in these cases The
sulfs drugs are also valuable in
certain Of the cases.
The air in the sick room should
not, like the air in the sick room
OF the pneumonia patient, be cold
and stirring. 1t should be about
20 to rs and humidified.
The condition develops most Of
ten in children under two years Of
age At this age period the baby

ting worse and croupy needs a
