CONCERNING MILK AS FOOD
Will Suffice for Infants and In.
valids, But Not for
Healthy Adults.

Milk has been said to be a perfect
food. 1t may be for infants, but it AN
not be considered o perfect food for
adults. Milk contains a large proportion
Of water and the person who attempts
to live on milk alone would need to con.
sumo large quantities OF 1t, from four
to five quarts a day, in order to obtain
sufficient nourishment, says Medical
Talk.
Then the digestive functions, as Is
well known, require food that has a
great deal more bulk than what milk
would furnish. Cattle, for instance,
can hardly be maintained in health on
a ration Of grain; they seem to require
a certain distention OF the stomach, such
as Is produced by the eating of grass
or hay. In tho same manner a mar re-
Quires the kind of food that will pro-
duce distention in order to promote per-
istalic action Of the intestines.
In case of sickness or chronic stomach
disease a milk diet Is an excellent thing.
But for a healthy man or woman to try
to subsist entirely On milk is a doubt
full experiment. Vegetables, fruit and
good bread and butter will make q
wholesome addition to the milk diet
and will give to the stomach that bulk
Of food and digestion which seem to be
necessary to perfect digestion.

Wonderful Music Rendered Daily by Islanders on Plaza

members OF the civil police force wear
the khaki. It Is these little men In
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as a nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result Of Admiral
Dcwey's spectacular victory.
The members Of the Constabulary
band were all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them in hand. Each one was an artist
in his own line, and all of them had
seen service in the military bands of
the Spanish regime. However, there
was a tremendous task for the band
master, The men possessed execution
without idea, They could read notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that is only a small pert
of concerted playing.
Naturally quick TO catch new ideas,
thoy soon grasped the meaning of the
attack" on which the effect OF a
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries Of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone TO the
most powerful c%rescendo, and Il Is in
this hat their playing is so marvellous,
In the lender, sympathetic passages OF
q selection tie tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which ii
rises. without a crash and without a
blarc, sweeping majestically upward
and onward, until the o~ntaptured
listener IS engulfed in a mighty bill
inspiring than the burst of melody in
such a climax as that which occurs in
the sextette Of Lucia, and no band ever
handled its climaxes better.
In the most powerful tone, there Ia
not the slightest suggestion OF brassi.
ness. 1t IS all liquid music, This Is
due almost wholly to the instrumental
ton, which Il absolutely faultless,
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead OF the large mum
Der of sa%xaphones, the Instruments
ton includes four -sarrusaphones and
two %sousaphones. Moreover, the clarl-
nets are not used merely for accom-
panlment, but actually carry the sec.
ond voice.
The music produced is not simply
that Of a brass band, but is varied for
effect to resemble strings, human
voices and even the pipe organ.
Among the players there are several
excellent %violinists, and the personnel
of the band is sometimes ~rearranged
into an orchestra of 20 men and also
into a guitar glee club.
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, Is a ma
tive Of st. Paul, and a graduate OF the
New England conservatory Of music.
To his genius and devotion much OF
the success of the C~onstabulary band
Is due.
Would that every American citizen
might listen to one Of his matchless
programmes, drink in all the harmony
ana all the splendor OF the best band
in the United States, yes, and stay to
the close. The close is the most i'm
pressivc part Of the concert. No one
could listen to the playing of THE
Star Spangled Banner by that band
Of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other F%illpinos, their hats over
their hearts aud their heads bowed, and
doubt that they are loyalty American.

The year 1860 marks the entrance Of
woman upon the stage. At about the

Women had been prohibited from ap-

for feminine presentation. At that time
the standards of the theater were low,
due TO the era OF license which the
restoration of Charles II. inaugurated,

clal assistance. The next largest num-
Der pray for the presidents assistance
