Goats Mix.

Modern Medicine says that goats
milk, contrary to the general impress
sion, differs from cows milk not In be-
Ing more dIgestible, but in being less
digestible and less nutritious, although
It contains a larger amount of solid
matter than cows milk. 1t is, indeed,
the most indigestible Of all milk. 1t

derived from the telcgraphic tolls charged
for transmission. The expense OF tele-
graphing war news from Manila is at the
rate of S2.35 a word. From Manila to
New York the cable route is: Manila to
Hong Kong, thence to Saigon in Anam,
