Brain Workers
You Cannot Afford TO TrifIe With
Your Diet.

Brain workers, who are careless
about diet, invite their own punish
ment. If, after long evenings
work, instead of a hearty meal, you
would try a cup of good matted milk
just before retiring the resulting
sound sleep would be an excellent
preparation for the next days work
Matted milk is combination of
rich, creamy milk and the strengthen
ing extracts of wheat and barley malt
1t contains in their just proportions
the elements that supply and rebuild
wastes of tissue and ncrve-force
Quickly prepared, easily digested, pal
atable and nutritious, it is the ideal
drink for brain workers.
But all matted milks are not alike.
If you want a real matted milk, one
in which the casein or cheesy, indi
gestibie part of the milk has been par
TALLY pre-digested, you should insist
upon "Bordens-The Matted Milk in

As evidence of its acknowledged su-

Birmingham. the Convention City

Birmingham is rapidly becoming a great convention city, remarked c. S. Robbins, "and recent gatherings held here have been such as to fulfill the most op- timistic of predictions.
 sFor number of years Birmingham has been recognized as the natural geo. graphical gathering. point for southern conventions, and boosters waxed eloquent in pleas for adequate hotel accommoda- tions. These wishes have now been an- swered in a substantial manner, and re- suits have been such as to more than fulfill the expectations of the most en- thusiastic of Birmingham builders.
 "The steel men,, the electrical men, the laundry men and the cattlemen have each held large gatherings in Birmingham since the erection of the Tutwiler and the Motion hotels, and all have expressed themselves as highly gratified with the city and its accommodations.
 "The meeting of the cattlemen was one of the most jubiant of affairs and the decision to establish a bank in Birming- ham may be taken as prima facie evil dence that the visitors were strongly im- pressed with the city and it's business and industrial future. The alfalfa ball was an exceedingly gorgeous affair, and the gathering of cattle barons comes to a close amid expressions of ardent well wishes"

HONESTY AND UMBRELLAS

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 Faith in ones fellow man is pretty gen. eral and optimism is still rampant, judg- ing from our yesterdays lost and found advertisements, especially the lost. One person advertises for the return of two S1O bills, and three good people go the length of asking for the return of lost
 umbrellas.
 the honesty in the advertiser. He must
 be honest himself to presume that the
 finder will be. His integrity, his nobility,
 his faith should compel honesty in the finder-challenging all that is exalted in
 the finder to rise to meet the majesty of his own nature.
 Ipso facto and propria vgore, every umbrella lost and unreturned is an indict- ment of human character and presump- tion against honesty. In the physical nature of things umbrella must be found by somebody. Nobody ever ignored an umbrellas casual presence or failed to pick up one that happened to be un- identified
 l The possession of a strange umbrella l carries with 1t the burden of proof of good character in the finder, and he can only disburden himself by reading our
 want ads and calling around promptly with the goods.

From the Salt Lake Tribune
 China is slowly but none the less surely putting a stop to the traffic in opium. The government has not wavered or fal- tered fer single instant since it declar ed war on the deadly drug, and the most gratifying results have attended it's ef- forts. Importations. which used to run up as high as 100000 pounds yearly, have been constantly falling off, until in 1914 only 997066 pounds were imported. The showing made is remarkable in view of the fact that hundreds of thousands. millions. without doubt, of Chinese are addicted to the use of opium.
 Statistics of the trade show that since 1863 opium worth approximately $1 ,0O0, 0O0 : 900 has been consumed in China. and the men who have grown rich in the unholy traffic have used their money freely to continue it's importation They first tried to prevent Legislation, and then encour- aged smuggling. All to no purpose. The ruling powers had made up their minds as to the reason why China was so far behind the rest of the world. and deter mined to remove the cause Some idea of the immense amount of work to be dore to bring about the total extinction of the traffic is gained when it is stated thnt there are still 5s5 opium shops in the Shanghai international settlement. Ow- ing to the unrelenting attitude of the Chinese government. however. it Is ex. pected all the Shanghai joints" will re closed within two years.

What Kind of a Father?"

Tourists who enter Council Bluffs, 1a., that little city nestling among the Missouri river hills, taking it's name from patriarchal Indian pow-wows of yester-years, are confronted, as they gaze upon the beauty of the scene to the westward, with signs bearing the following inscriptions
 "Slow down; what sort of a father are you?"
 These signs, displayed prominently around all school grounds, have been placed by a council of fathers who meet, not at annual feast time as did the red man, but at frequent intervals. The Fathers club was organized by a Council Bluffs man, Stymest Steven son, and is devoted to consideration of all questions pertaining to the rear ing, training and protection of the child.
 Its founder couple of years ago read newspaper item on a girls delinquency. The newspaper report laid the blame on the mother of the child. Stevenson made wager with a friend that investigation would show the father primarily to blame. He in- vestigated and found his theory justi- fled. Disappearing of the tendency of fathers to shirk responsibility of training their children, and laying all the burden upon the mothers, he or Ranized the Fathers club.
 This organization has been in ex- istence two years and has brought

The Allies Are Waiting

Operations in the Dardanelles are practically at standstill and con- dition of affairs prevails much like that along the western battle line in France, where both sides are strongly entrenched and an advance of a few yards is considered military achieve ment. It is said that the allies troops are in almost the same position they occupied month or six weeks ago and no important gains are being att tempted, as previous experience has taught that they mean terrible loss of life.
 Several explanations are given for the inaction of the allies in the Dar- danelles. One is that the Turks are so strongly fortified that they can- not be dislodged. They have all the natural advantages of topography which consists of one range of hills after another and these natural bar riers have been made impregnable by some of the strongest Qualifications in the world. The Germans have as- sisted the Turks in constructing a series of entrenchments on the Galli- poll Peninsula that the heaviest guns of the allied fleet have been unable to demolish and so effectively have they been devised that they must be taken by storm, or not at all. This would call for a great number of troops and as fast as the outer defenses fell there would be still more hills and still stronger Qualifications lying in the rear. Even if these positions could be excessively taken the losses would be so enormous that the allies hesitate to make the attempt
 Another reason why the allies are waiting is reported to be the hope of . panic among the Turks which will result in demoralization of the en- tire nation. It is said that conditions in Constantinople are alarming, that much dissatisfaction is being ex- pressed at the conduct of the war and the Germans are becoming more and
 
 more disliked. The entry of Greece or Bulgaria into the war, or the down. fall of the Ottoman empire are both possibilities. Either of these develop ments would mean victory for the allies.

Some Detective Experiences

Few people are aware of the stupen- dous preparations that have been made by the directors of the Frisco fair for the safety of the visitors from the crooks of the country" said T. K. Trigg, spe- cial agent in charge of the southern di- vision for the Illinois Central "One of the largest detective agencies in the United States has been appointed to be on the lookout for the notorious thugs and pick pockets which always make 1t a point to operate wherever large crowd congre- gates.
 When one stops to think of the many chances the professional crook has to put in his work at San Francisco, he can readily see the necessity of having some good detectives on the job. Then, again, some of the most prominent men in the country will be present from time to time seeing the sights of the big exposition. It is almost uneanny to know how many of the real crooks in the United States are known by sight and by their manner of work. to few trained men who have made a speciality of this sort of thing. I used to know practically every pickpocket in the country myself
 When President Taft was touring the south I acted as one of his bodyguards. I shall never forget meeting one of the most notorious piclxpockets in the busi- ness r Jackson, Miss. Of course there was an enormous crowd on hand to see the President. and naturally some of the 1 pickpockets were on hand to get in their work. I spied a familiar face in the crowd which throng about MT. Taft. In a seccnd I realized I was looking at | 'Blackie, one of the cleverest dips in the business. I went over to where he was standing and said: Hello. what are you doing here?' Looking for job he
 said. What sort of a job?' asked. Just an automobile job, he replied easily. l pulled the hook off the telephone which
 was nearby and called for police head quarters. They need a chauffeur down
 there. Blaclsie.' I said The minute called his name he knew I was wise and
 he broke into a run. That afternoon he bought ticket for New Orleans. I wired the information into headquarters and they moved pin on big map, which was hanging on the wall, to New Orleans
 You see that particular pin was represen'
 tative of 'Blackie,' and when he moved
 the pin at headquarters in Chicago moved also"

about revision of tobacco and cigar cite laws of Iowa, as well as other laws for the protection of the youth, has cleared the public schools of in- competent teachers, looked after san itary and moral conditions in the schools, provided fire escapes and at tended to numerous details entering into the welfare and safety of chil- dren.
 Speaking of the sessions of the club, MT. Stevenson says:
 Anyone who believes that our club is composed of bunch of old sisters who chew white gum and compare creases in our trousers should get that idea out of their heads. Our meetings are lively affairs; we discuss matters that affect our children without re- serve and then we go after the man or circumstance responsible for it, not merely talk about it."
 It is safe wager that the number of delinquent girls and runaway boys will show decrease, owing to the in- terest the fathers of the Iowa city are taking not only in their own children, but in the youngsters of their neigh bors.
 There is many another city where the Fathers club would be wonder ful asset-there Is many another com munity where the highway sign, "Slow up; what kind of a father are you ?" would not be out of place.
