NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, SUBSTITUTE FOODS WEAKEN GERMANY Third of Population Will Die, Prol. Juckenack Warns HARTFORD Amsterdam, Jan. 15. dence of The (Correspon- Associated Press)-—Thc almost con mmp lack of nourishmen (in many of the betng sold in Ger y is arousing a storm of warning ubstitutes” now from German scientists, who declare that govern- | ment supervision of the whole substi- tute food traffic is an immediate ne- cessity. Professor Juckenack, of the | of Berlin, writing in tho > Zeitung, | ss any longer to hide the truth, Unless the government active- | ly intervenes to put some control over the flood of substitute foods with | i which we are overwhelmed, the end of the war will also see the end of 4 third of Germany’s population. More- | over, the remaining two-thirds will be so enfeebled from malnutrition that they will be unablo to perform the im- mense tasks of recuperation and re stofation. “The “devil alone knows what are the ingredien thousands of these wretched substitutes that already do duty for butter and , oil and milk, flour and spirits, meat and broth, cof fee and sugar, tobacco and tea, and sausage, cheese and caviar, and 80 on without end. “The latest products of the in- genlous substitute-mongers are really toa, terrible to be tolerated. A prep- aration of crude kerosene is now being largely sold as frying oil, and 800 cas of serious illness, together with nine deaths have been traced to its use in | Berlin alone. A preparation called “goose dripping” is prepared from dog's fat; egg substitutes form a mix- ture of chalk and baking powder; ca iar from scales, and bread from straw. What people, no matter how patdlotic, can hold out on such fare?” Sale at 12 Talcott Street Paris, Jan. 20.—One of the French trench newspapers has been asking soldiers returning from leave what as tonished them most in Paris.

To see funerals To be asked to sit down when get- ting one's hair cut To hear civilians complaining about their hardships.
