After the calf is a month old I think
it makes very little difference whether
the milk is fed sweet or sour, warm

Abundant capital has been assured
to carry out these plans, and in addi

made for office rooms. A large de-
partment store has offered to lease all
of one section of the building. The
building promises TO present an i'm
pressive appearance, in addition to the
advantage of being in the center OF
the city. On Sixth avenue, just east
from the church property, are the
Nixon theater, the building known as

are the police headquarters and the
Philadelphia Company's building.
Street cars diverging to more than 20
sections of the city and surrounding
country pass by the property.

1t is little surprising to find Judge
Barron of the Canadian judiciary argu-
ing in the public prints of his country
against Canadian contributions to Eng
and's naval expenditures, and uphold
ing the abandoned principle of harbor
defense by means of few inexpensive
submarines and torpedoes. 1t is even
more surprising to find him quoting
Premier Laurier in support Of his con-
tention. The accepted theory OF naval
strategy now is one of offense, not de-
tense, says the Detroit Free Press. A
nation best repulses its enemies by
seeking them out and destroying them,
according to the tacticians. This rule
Of warfare is at the root of Great Bri-
iains present naval policy. She keeps
her fleets near home, modified to
strike forcefully and speedily at any
lntagonistic combination. Judge Bar
rons plan contemplates the building
Of a Canadian destroyer and a sub
marine every year for five years, max
ing total outlay of say S2,500,00. The
sum is trifling in these days of huge
naval spending, and, small as it is,
seems to be worse than wasted, if used
