PUTTING ONE OVER ON cow
Japanese Solve Problem BY Extensive
Use. of Artificial Milk Derived
From Soy Bean.

The milk problem is by way Of be
ing solved in Japan. where cows are
scarce, by an extensive use Of arIi-
fetal milk derived from the soy beam
First, the japanese soak the beans,
then boil them until the liquid turns
white. when they add sugar and phOs-
plate Of potash. The boiling is re-
sumed until fluid results very similar
in consistency and appearance to ordi-
nary condensed milk. When water is
added soy milk is hardly 10 be dis
tinguished from fresh cows milk.
In composition also the artificial
milk Is almost like genuine milk It's
prOteins. fats and sugars are IN very
nearly the same proportion. although.
of course, they are wholly vegetable in
origin.
Whether the substitute IS equal TO
real cows milk as a form OF nourish-
ment is not quite clear, for much OF
the value OF milk as 8 food comes
from the engines or vitamines IT con-.
tains. The japanese, however. declare
that il serves all the purposes OF
cows milk. and that IL has the advan-
tage Of being less liable to infection
when properly and carefully manufac-
tured.-Youth's Companion.

sNEEzlAG ONCE FATAL SIGN
Superstition Was the Origin Of
Phrase, HGod Bless You'll" Still
Heard in Europe

Sneezing from very remote times
has been regarded with superstition
Our forefathers went to bed again II
they sneezed while putting on their
shoes. A sneeze to the right was
deemed lucky; TO the left, Of evil por-
tent. To sneeze near a burial place
was very unlucky. says the London
Telegraph.
Tradition has 1t that sneezing was
at first fatal sign-every human be-
ing sneezed but once and then died
but Jacob petitioned the Creator TO
remove the sneezing ban and succeed
ed. Thence arose the once universal
custom OF saIuting sneezer with
"God bless your or May you live
long," The custom still obtains In
some parts Of Europe.
In England not only was sneezer
blessed, but friends raised their hats
to him as well. In an old book. 41The
Code Of Conduct" it is directed that
IF his Iordship sneezes ye are not to
bawl out God bless your but bow 10
him handsomely" All over the world
the sneeze was recognized Whole
nations were under orders TO make ex-
CARNATIONS when their king sneezed.
Sneezing was believed 10 be sure
cure for hiccups and was also looked
upon as a sign Of sanity. Ii ancient
and universal belief goes for anything
/ it is good to sneeZe.

This strengthened their conviction Of

preliminary attacks, made with the
object of drawing forth gun fire and

ON THE WAR FRONTS

The carefully laid plans of General
Byng to withdraw his troops at vari-
Gus points on the Cambria salient to
more tenable points have been carried
out in perfect order, and apparently
without the Germans even having
knowledge Of the movement.
Recession Necessary.
The falling back was made neces-
sary by wedges driven into the salient
last week by the Germans, which on
several sectors threatened disaster to
the British should they continue to
hold their positions. From an arc ex-
tending before Cambria a distance of
about eighteen miles the new British
front has been lessened to a length of
about ten miles with the bases rest
ing in the northern region of Moeu-
vres and in the south near Gonnelieu

Berlin war Office asserts that since
the eGrman offensive in the Cambria
region began British prisoners in en-
cess of 5000 and 14S guns have been
taken.

On the Italian front the AustrO.Ge or
