"America For Americans
| FOOD WINS THE WAR
| DON'T WASTE IT
"GRANDMOTHERS—(;OI> BLESS
THEM."
In the praise and sympathy given
generously to wives and motheiS
o£ soldiers ia this war, grand
mothers are not often mentioned,
but still, in France at least, the
srandmother is the soul of the
country, according to Foreign News
Service of the Woman's Committee
of the Council of National Defense.
"They are the women who gave to
France the men at Verdun, and
they are now making it possible
abroad for the women to take the
men's places in factory and busi
ness, to be the breadwinner for the
children. It is the women of the
last generation who are ta'iing >are
of the little children, coring for
them while the mothers aj-o at work
arranging for or superintending
their education, being, at advanced
age, mothers all over again for the
good of their country,"
USE MORE MILK
O^e of the lesaous we have
Irwued from European conditions
is that we can better afford to cut
down, on almost any other food than
milk audi its products. The regu
lar use of milk is the greatest fac
tor lu. the human diet.
There are several excel'ent rea
sons why we should use more milk
at the present time, even if we
oay more for it than we have been
t> 'he habit of paying. The war
has caused a scarcity of farm labor
end made the price of feed for
cattle higher. As a result of these
change®, as well as the demand for
hecf by ord'er of the Allies, the
farmers have been selling both old
and young stock. The effect of
this sale will be felt not now but in
a year or two, when the young
atock would have been producing
milk. We are attempting to assist
Europe through her farmers to
ral:« all their heifers, by asking
for and using more milk, the time
will oome when the United States
will not have enough milk to feed
h»r Infants and young children, for
whom such milk is a viial necessity.
We must remember that feed giv
en to a dairy cow yields three
times ai much food' through the
milk production, as that fed to a
beef steer. Use, therefore, more
■milk and* less beef. Take care of
the milk situation that it may never
approach the present wheat sltua-1
tlon.
For a given amount o' money milk
■will furnish more energy value than (
eggs or meat, being a cheaper
source of energy than any com- j
mon food except certain cereals. '
One quart of milk furnishes as
much energy giving power as eleven
ounces of sirloia ste^fc, or t'-re:* '

However, such comparisons do not
do justice to the true nutritive val
ue of milk, which. Is larg«ly due to
'he peculiar nature ol its con
stinients.
Th» valuable vitamines, bodv
tegujafing; substances, are present
in milk fat, and that fat is very
e^siiv digested. Lime phosphorus
and mineral salts add' to Its desir
abi'ity. JV'hile young children
should have the whole milk,

RE EDUCATING WAR CRIPPLES
TLe Bureau for ;lie Reeducation
of War Crip>ples is a part of the
civil affairs department of tlia Am
erican Red Cross in Paris. "At
its head1," reports the Paris bureau
of the Red Cross, "is Miss Grace
Harper, formerly director of the so
cial service work at the Massachu
setts Gen. Hospital, Boston. Mi*s
Harper has studied seven of the
nine big schools whe'e France pre
pares her 'multiles' to resume civil
life as wage earners. In coopera
tion with th.e French authorities uhe
is planning a sehiool to train war
cripples who were farmers before
they shouldered arms to operate
farm motor machinery (which
Fiance is learning to use as never
before) and to tend chickens and
rabbits and the larger live stock.
This field1 the French jchcols have
comparatively neglected."
POLICE JOINING UP

Dawson recently received Instruc
tions from headquarters at Regina

The 1 fficiency of our khaki-clad eagle in France—help
ing to free the world of the German Vulture— depends
on our golden eagles at home. Men we have in plenty
raw matriiels in abundance, but money is needed to
furnish our men with food, to turn raw materials into
equipment. We need money for ships to get our men
and equipment into the fight.
