Dr. H. Schultz of Swift research laboratores, writing in the current National Livestock Producer, told of two years of study to find out if tiny babies tolerate meat and if there are any healthful advantages to it. "The protein requirement of a baby actually is three or four times, in proportion to his weight, that of an adult," Dr. SchuHz said.

"Our research was predicated upon the fact thr.t meat is the best source of complete, high-quality protein." 'In the feeding tests supervised by a pediatrician, one group of six- weeks-old babies received the cus- group had small amounts of strained meats added to the formula. The meat was fine enough to go thru the nipple 'of a nursing bottle. More meat was added daily until the protein content was increased by 25 per cent. After eights weeks, babies receiving meat showed an average hemoglobin of 113.3 per cent compared with 89.7 per cent for those without meat, an average red blood count of 122.2 per cent for those with meat and 106.2 per cent for those without. There were no stomach upsets from the meat- added diet.

"Meat-fed babies slept better, less tendency toward anemia, and generally were in a better physical condition than those receiving no meat supplement," the report said. mcnt of a dispute which threatened a strike against the huge Consolidated Edison Co.
