FOOD VALUE OF MILK.
One Quart Of Milk is Equal to f2
Ounces of Beef.

About 16 per cent Of our daily diet
consists of milk in some form of its
manufactured products Milk is the
chief food for children.
A food is divided into three classes
of nutrients. The cheapest food is
the one that supplies the best nutri-
ents at the least cost. The most
healthful food is one that is best fit
ted to the requirements of individ-
uals.
One quart of milk is equivalent in
food value to twelve ounces of beef.
or six ounces of bread. Beef is rich
in protein and poor in carbohy ydrates.
Bread is rich in carbohydrates, but
poor in proteins and fats.
Milk contains proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates in the right proportion
for nourishment of the body. 1t is a
well balanced ration.
The standard food requirement for
a man at ordinary muscular work, In
fuel value, is $500 calories per day
| A diiwy lunch consisting of one
pint of milk and ten ounces of wheat
bread (about six slices) cost Z cents
and supplies about one-third of the
above requirement.
1 The ordinary restaurant lunch con
sisting of soup. meat, vegetables, but
ter, sugar, bread and coffee costs MOI
less than 25 cents and supplies onl,
about one-third of the above require
ment.
One quart Of milk is about equal il
food value to each of the following
8 ounces of butter; 2 pounds OF chick
len; ounces of cheese; IL to II
iounces of sirloin steak; eggs.
The real food value OF milk is no
governed entirely by its richness. bu
tits purity is of equal Importance.

Compilation Of City
Directory is Nearing
Stage Of Completion

4 The city and county directory, un-
dertaken by the Watertwon Printing
and Binding Co, is approaching COM
pletion, so far as the compilation is
concerned, and the copy for it will
be turned over to the printer in the
course of the next two weeks, or
thereabouts.
Regarding the oft-repeated state
ments by the publisher of a former
directory of Watertown, DO the eff
feet that the solicitor for the Water
town Printing and Binding Co. came
here to begin work for him. and not
for the company which is now em-
ploying him. it may be said that the
statement is without foundation in
fact.
Arrangements were perfected with
Mr.. Hill last November, when he was
in the city in the interests of the
Polk state directory, to commence
the compilation of the Watertown di-
rectory about January 1. Mr.. Hill
entered into no agreement or under
standing with anybody else, he de-
|clares, and his statement is borne out
|by the fact of his contracting with
the publisher of The Saturday News
Ito begin work for it with the begin
ming of the new year
On the last day of December, he
wired from Aberdeen asking that he
be permitted to complete his work
for the Polk people and on January 1
he was granted by telegraph the ex-
tension of time desired. He came
here about February to begin the
lcomHlat tion in accordance with his
lcontract-and he did not come here
Ito begin work for any other publish
ler.
1t is realized that perhaps 1T is i'm
material anyway, and attention is paid
Ito the statement of the publisher oi
| a former directory merely because
lsome people are said to repeat state
Iments SO many times as finally sts
come to believe them themselves
/ While it is not true that informa
ltion was sought from Mr. Morey OF
Iany other person with regard tc
whether the publisher of the former
ldirectory could be favored with ad
yertising, it is true, however, thai

lit is very doubtful whether he couis

ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINIONS.
Gives officiat Views Upon Number
Of Questions.

IN Pierre, S. D. Among opinions
which have been rendered hy the
attorney general, he holds that fail
ure OF any individual to file petition
for county ONCE to be klied BY nom
cancy" under the law which gives the
county central committee Of the party
power to fill out the ticket to in
clude all places which the people will
vote for at the November election.
II is also held that an auto license
issued by the treasurer OF q county.
of which the owner Is nssrs resiaers,
is not q valid license, and is OF no
power and effect. The query on
which this was based comes from
Hand county, where number of resi-
dents have outside towns for their
postoffice address, especially In the
northern part OF the county, where
Orient, in Faulk county is the prin-
|cipal postoffice, and on the east line
where many residents of that county
get mail at washington in Beasile
county. Some of them evidently
mailed their applications to the
treasurer Of the county in which the
postoffice is located, instead OF the
county in which they reside, and an
auto license SO issued is held TO be
|of no effect
1t is held on inquiry from Custer
|county that the state is not liable for
construction and maintenance Of
highways in the state forest reserve.
That such lands are merely school
lands, and the same rule applies as
in counties In the eastern part Of the
Estate where large tracts OF state
school and endowment lands are held
lin which case the township authori-
tiles or the county is required to con.
Istruct and maintain the highways on
the section lines across such tracts.
It is held that mayor has no right
| to cast a ballot on the matter of con-
| lirmation of an appointment, where
| there is tie vote Of the council on
isuch confirmation. That such vote Is
a failure to confirm. and that the
mayor has no right to vote Oh his ap.
Ipointments.

Anerica's $ Expecta-
tions Concerning the
Submarine Question

Washington, May 9.-President Will
sen has put Germany on trial.
IN the text OF the American reply
te the most recent German note on
suhsea warfare the imperial govern
sAeat is told the United States relies
upea Germany to keep it's promise to
alter the methods of submarine war
fare,
Serupulous execution of its changed
policy, the note says, will remove the
1a1ger of an interruption of the good
relations existing between Germany
and the United States.
Proposal is Rejected.
At the same time the note rejects
the proposal that the United States
regard this abandonment as condi-
tienal upon Great Britain's action
with respect to the blockade.
The note is courteous in tone, but
frn and definite in substance.
II is intended to remove all doubt
of the imperial government as to the
position the United States has taken.
Lansing in Statement.
Secretary of State Lansing last
night issued the following statement
explaining why the United States can
not discuss matters pertaining to the
relations between this government
and Great Britain with the imperial
government
'"The greater part of the German
answer is devoted to matters which
this government cannot discuss with
the German government.
"The only questions of right which
can be discussed with that govern
ment are those arising out of its ac-
item or out of our own and in no event
those questions which are the sub
ject of diplomatic exchange between
the United States and any other coun
Try.
''The essence of the answer is that
Germany yields to our representations
with regard to the rights of merchast
ships and noncombatants on the high
seas and engages to observe the rec
ognized rules of international law
governing naval warfare in using hel
Submarines against merchant ships

tered policy we can have no reason
to quarrel with her on that score
