ONE-MINUTE FOOD TALKS

By Don Herold

When any one says that something will win the war, no difference what it is, ft is pretty apt to be true. About a hundred things will win the war. There’s cows. Did you know that the continued life of hundreds of thousands of children in the north of France and in Belgium have been absolutely dependent, for the last four years, on American condensed milk? And do you know that England and France have had to kill cattle right and left since the war started, because of the scarcity of feed? And those dairy cows which they have not killed they heva been forced to place on such Strict rations that the milk production of our allies is probably 50 per cent, less than normal. And that’s another reason for saving meat; the protection of dairy herds; what milk there is, for chHA Boston electric light company usee powerful magneto to shatter the filaments in defective incandescent lamps to prevent them finding their, way into serrico and causing dissatlstactlon.

Fan brakes, to displace the air beneath a car and that retard its motfcm and also to keep the hub brakes cool, have been fitted to some automobiles used on mountainous porticos of Switzerland. To enable a fisherman to get some rest, a bracket to be clamped to the side of a boat or gpy convenient ledge to hold his pole has been invented, a pfirtion of * also acting as a brake on the reeL la very ancient times Mecca was not only a busy trading place, through <hich caravans with rich cargoes were continually passing; H was also a home of music and poetry. Before there was an Arab school of muMe r monotonous but agreeable sound the camel driver's chant was ttb national song at Arabia. .

dren; what meat there is, to bo shared liberally with our allies. No children must be left to starve for-want of milk, milk which is absolutely essential to their growth. Mr. Hoover saw Germany steal 900,000 cows from Belgium in three months. Germany has stolen cows from Serbia, France and Russia and other populations they have overrun. Now, while it is not absolutely true that cows will win the war, you could not expect much fighting from soldiers whose babies at home were dying of starvation. And the point W this is, that, while American children must still have plenty of milk, grown-up Americans should not waste a drop of it; and that, considering some of these facts, we must realize that our allies are up against 'an abnormal situation when it comes to meat —when it comes to cows. Yes, we mnst save meat. The rapid growth of vegetation tt polar regions, despite the brief sum mers, is attributed to the strength ci the electric currents in the atmosphere.

It was early in the Christian era that the peach was introduced to southern Europe from the east. It did not reach Britain until the sixteenth century. Three thousand horsepower la produced by a turbine in Switzerland that received a stream of water only an inch and a half in diameter after a fall of more than 5,400 feet. Concrete is being used almost exelusively for the gate structures of irrigation canals in this country, displacing wood for the purpose, despite the greater cost of the concrete. To prevent the formation of wrinkles around the eyes a German has invented a resilient band to be worn around a person's bead, terminating in adhesive ends that drag the flesh back.

COWS WILL WIN THE WAR.
