Are you a Red traitor to America or
are you not? It's as simple as that. If you
are not, why shouldn't you say so?

SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND
Henry A. Wallace, the former Vice Pres
ldent and Secretary of Agriculture, who also
ran Tor the Presidency on the Progressive
ticket, was never regarded as a conservative
IN matters affecting farming or anything
else. SO a speech he made short time ago
before Des Moines farm meeting should be
seriously considered by those who still ap-
prove rigid agricultural prices Imports and
eVer-lncreaSlng Surpluses.
Mr. Wallace unequivOcally endorsed
HeXlDle support program - which, signif-
cantly is urged by Secretary Benson. And
he said that If the surpluSes the govern
ment buys with the tax money of us all CON
tlnue tC grow, the time will come "when the
American people will rise up in Indignation.
Farmers had better keep that in mind
The goal must be to move as much as
possible OF our farm production into the
kitchens OF cOnSumerS-and as little as DOSS-
IDLE into bulging warehouses. In working
toward that goal, it is likely that agriculture

DIET FOR THE ILL
In past times it was widely believed that
most Ill people required relatively little in
the way of food. The tea and toast variety
OF diet was commonplace.
Science has proven how wrong that idea
was For example, an article by J. r.
knoades In the Journal of the American Die
tetlcs Association deals with nutritional
needs after major surgery, severe injury. or
prolonged illness. what many such patients
need most he says, 'is generous intake of
highest quality meat, suitably supplemented
and apptizingly served"
The reason for this is that long-drawn
illness or serious injury usual results in
marked losses of tissue proteins In surgery,
considerable protein may be lost through
bleeding. To minimize the hazards result
ing from these losses, replenishment must
be accomplished as rapidly as possible. So
the patient is urged to eat literally of diet
especially high in tOp-grade protein, which
is the kind provided by meat. Such diet
promotes rebuilding of tissues and healing
OF wounds, increases vigOr, and speeds re-
cOvery.
The value of a high-protein diet to well
people is also very great This was conclu-
slvely demonstrated during the last war.
Much of the credit for the American SOL
dier's mental and physical vigOr is given to
the fact that his diet is rich in protein.
