UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN RED CROSS CERTIFICATES DO NOT MAKE NURSES The Classes are to Learn Principles of First Aid for Home Application The Red Cross class in first aid, under the direction of Doctor Dorothy Child, now has an enrollment of 250 women. They are divided into companies of twenty-five, the maximum number of class permitted by Red Cross rules. The regular course of ten lessons prescribed by the American Red Cross is given, Dr. Child recently received her certificate from the national headquarters and she has her as an instructor. The Red Cross supplies cards that will be given to the class tonight. They are now out of print, owing to the great demand for them. The demand for all Red Cross supplies has been so great that enrollment cards and certificates can not be supplied to all classes as soon as they organize. The enrollment for this class have not yet been received. An examination will be given at the end of the ten lessons by a physician. A certificate will be given by the Red Cross to every one passing examination, however, the certificate does not make a Red Cross nurse. "The idea of the course," Dr. Child said, "is to teach people the principles of first aid for home application. There is only one real connection with war. Doctors and registered nurses will be called away from this country in great numbers later and the responsibility of caring for the sick and injured in country and town districts will rest on the untrained."

HOME ECONOMISTS FIND ALFALFA FLOUR USEFUL Experiments Prove That Weed: Taste and Green Color Can Be Eliminated "Alfalfa" biscuits! delicious and wholesome! So says Prof. Elizabeth Sprague, head of the department of economics, who has been conducting a series of experiments with "alfaflafa flour" in bread-mashed potatoes. Her food source heretofore has not wholly desirable because of its strong weedy flavor and green color. Experiments in the department of economics however, have eliminated both objections and the appeal and biscuits of fine flavor and quality and high food value have been made. The department made its own flour by grinding alfalfa leaves in a food grinder. Chlorophyll and other coloring matter is dissolved from the flour, thus eliminating the weedy taste found in alfalfa flours. Chemical anions in the meat of the cooked alfalfa flour looses none of its food properties by the process. Varying proportions of the alfalfa flour are mixed with common wheat flour, with graham flour, and with whole wheat flour in the baking experiments. The maximum amount of alfalfa flour that may be used successfully, however, is 10 per cent, according to Miss Sprague. The food of the average man lacks the necessary mineral or ash constituents, since a large part of it is composed of wheat flour which loses these minerals. Alfalfa flour has them and puts them into the bread. In experiments it was found, that by adding 10 per cent alfalfa flour to ordinary wheat flour the mineral content of the bread was increased about 100 per cent and the protein content 25 per cent in making a much more nutritious bread. A letter from C. F. Langworthy of the United States Department of Agriculture has been received by Miss Sprague, in which Mr. Langworthy acknowledged Miss Sprague's work in the use of alfalfa as a food and soil supplement so that experiment with "modified" or bleached alfalfa flour. While the immediate results of these four experiments are more for the miller and manufacturer than for the housewife, it is for her ultimate benefit that the experimenters use the afilier and biscuits on the tables of K. U. boarding clubs may be a common sight one year from now. HOTEL KUPPER A good place to make your headquarters.

One Fourth of College Men Now In Service of Their Country The exodus to the colors continued! One-fourth of the 900 men enrolled in the College have withdrawn in order to enlist or to go out on Kansas land and to be put in prison, a food shortage during the war. Another two hundred are devoting several hours daily to drill or other military instruction. One girl, Ruth Beverstock, College, has withdrawn from part of her work so that she may do. gardening work here in Lawrence. She was furnished a piece of ground by J. D. Bowerstock and is now at work raising vegetables. These will be given to the Red Cross, she says, when they have matured. The exodus to the colors continues! Dale恩 Templin said this morning the College was looking forward to a natural shrinkage which would come as a result of the war. Several one-year instructors in department of the College are likely to be affected by a decrease in enrollment. But no man will be any longer next year. The Dean says that there will be new problems and duties for the College to handle next year. Approximately 900 men were enrolled in the College at the beginning of the second semester, according to Dean Olin Templin. Of this number 93 have left the University for farm work, 86 have left positions as substitutes for men who have been called out to serve under the colors.
