1t is possible that the general public
may get some consolation for the ris-
ing prices Of milk as a result of exper-
imcnts being carried on by DIR. Areo
ltano of the Massachusetts Agricultural
college who is soon to announce a
method for producing milk from the
SOY bean. In Manchuria, soy bean milk
identical with cows milk in compost
ton and taste except for a slight flavor
Of the bean, is now in use. In DR..
ltano S modification for producing milk
in this manner there is absolutely no
indication of the fluid differing from
the tactical secretion of the COW. DR.
ltano, who has been very successful in
his research work, SAYS this soy bean
milk can be produced at very low cost
and he further hopes to make a suitable
butter substitute and various othe,
foods from the same source.

The suspension of the license of a
booze bus-driver between Greenfield and
Brattleboro, on the ground that sooner
or later such enterprises get into trouble,
is pretty drastic and it might not stand

reminder that there is "'God in

the risks which careless. callous and
