Holstein Cows Milk
for Family Use

4 Probably you have heard that Holstein
Milk is the only cows milk physicians
consider suitable for infant feeding, but
do you realize it is the very best milk
for every member Of your family?
Il In Holstein Milk the moderate amount
of butterfat is in the form of minute
globules less than half the size OF those
in ordinary milk. These small, even
globules yield rapidly to the action of
the digestive fluids and are easily alb
sorbed.
Il Holsteins are the healthiest of cattle.
Their milk has the strongly vitalizing
quality that children and the aged espe-
cially need. Use it freely and there
will be less sickness in your home.
T A visit to our farm will give you con-
hdence in our methods Of handling milk.

Roosevelt chose Samoa and the FIJI

from what has happened in recent geo
logic time, it may be concluded that
the canal is not in any appreciate
danger from the stability OF the 18TH
milan land. The rising of the isthmus,
however, has been responsible for the
many slides that have been encoun-
tered, in that the motion of the ground
has dislocated and crushed the rocks,
leaving them weak and unstable.
AT any rate" says Mr.. Macdonald
so far as the digging of the Culebra
cut is concerned, these faults have in
creased the cost of the canal several
million dollars.
LAS to the slides. Culebra cut is a
vast ditch that passes through many
varieties of rock in the nine miles of
its length. Some of these are weak

the cut were steep and 100 TO 500 feet
high the weaker rocks crushed down

in the future endanger the ultimate
success of the canal"
Mr.. Macdonald calls attention to the
fact that one is apt to forget that the
greatest variation of atmospheric
pressure near sea level may be more
than four million tons per square mile
and that if the adjustment of atmos-
pheric pressure, in very large cave
or mine lags behind any quick increase
in atmospheric pressure at the surface,
a considerable strain may be added to
the roof Of such an excavation. Dis
cussing the real cause of the slides,
Mr.. Macdonald declares that in many
cases the immediate cause was the
oversteepness and height of the slopes,
the blasting and other work attrib-
utable only to man. He adds that the
geologic conditions were not sufficient
ly considered in the first plans for dig
ging Culebra cut.
AS the strength of the famous Gatun
dam has been brought into question
on a number of occasions, Mr.. Mac
Donald refers TO it in some length.
1T was found that the Gatun rocks
are relatively solid and compact and
suitable for foundations for heavy
structures. However, some writer's,
even recently. have affirmed that the
Gatun rocks would soften into mud
when Gatun lake filled, and thus the
locks and dam would sink their foun-
dations and be damaged or destroyed.
Opinions OF this sort spring from a

PANAMA CANALT0

Prominent GeolOgist Sees No Future
Trouble From Land Slides Along
the Great Waterway.

Washington, March 16.-The Pan
ANA canal, which has been closed
since Sept. is last by one of the worst
slides in its history will be opened
again for the passage of vessels of
deep draft on April Is.
This is the prediction OF Colonel
Harding, acting governor of the canal
zone, made in a cablegram TO the war
department. His forecast was based
on conditions in Gaillard cut, where
the chief earth movement occurred.
Washington, March l6.-That the
Panama canal will not be swallowed
up by an earthquake in the future and
that the troublesome slides now being
encountered will eventually be con-
quered and the great waterway made
an unqualified success, is the opinion

gist for the United States bureau of
mines.

years on the isthmus making careful
study as to fragility of the earth's
crust, has just made an official report
to the effect that, while through seis-
mic disturbances the whole isthmus is
rising at the rate of three feet every
hundred years, this will not neces-
sarily injure the canal. AS far as he
sees, it will merely mean a little ad-
ditional expense in the dredging of the
big waterway. The cause Of this ris-
ing, he says, is the sinking of the ocean
bottom outside the isthmian shore wa
tiers. Every time there is little
movement of the ocean bottom, the
isthmus, TO be in harmony, joins in.
He also suggests that If the rising mo-
ton be rapid, then there would be Sc
rious danger for the canal, but, that

IF the weight of Gatun lake is 60

are OF the same formation, should also

premises. kirsch was knocked down
BIZ the ruffian and his revolver taken
away from him, it is said, before other
deputies came to his rescue.
Il is thought the men came to the

afternoon Their actions were sus-

Talked to TRUSTEES.
About $50 they came back and had
gone down into the boiler room, where
they were talking with number Of
TRUSTEES who were engaged in carry

Don't you know you have no right
to talk TO these men," Smith asked
You always did have it in for me-"
Miller replied, referring to the time
when he was an inmate Of the jail
BY this time the entire party had
moved up the steps and were standing
outside near the entrance to the boiler
room. Deputy kirsch heard the talk
and started TO investigate. He order
ed the men away. Helms at once COM
piled and did not have a part in the
melee which followed.
McMullen started away, but Miller
defed the officer. kirsch took hold
Of Miller to enforce his order, when
Miller suddenly wheeled and struck
kirsch in the face, knocking him down.
McMullen moved to return to the aid
of his pal, but was held by Smith and
Charles De Loose, the only one of the
TRUSTEES Of the several in the group
who volunteered any help.
While Smith and De Loose were
