The enthusiasm of the budget-maker for milk
as food is only equaled by that of the physi-
Ologist.
When Nature worked out the formula for
milk she put nearly all the best tricks she knew
in one bag-to preserve the young. No sucrose
for the little new man or woman, mind you,
but sugar in the form of lactose, which wise
ones tell us is the last word for preventing
intestinal putrefaction and discouraging the
undesirable bacteria that seek to inhabit our
thirty feet of intestines and stir up therein all
kinds of trouble-trouble that spreads like
Mexican insurrection.
Bulgarian bacilli and sour milk ferments in
general have cleverly diverted the limelight TO
themselves for a time; but lactose-good, plain,
old milk sugars coming back into its own
as the real warrior for fighting undesirable
bacteria in the intestnes.

Who Needs Vacant Lot When Vacant Roof Is
at Haud2- Chickens also Thrive and Pro-
duce Eggs Even in Eggs5 Months

Of radshes, tomatoes, lima beans, few ears
of corn and a couple of hills of potatoes. The
potatoes weren't much of a success the boxes
being too small to permit their full develops
ment, but Mr.. Surredge won't admit that pota-
toes couldn't be grown on roofs with advantage.
This year cabbages and onions are to be
added to the gardens repertoire and there will
be a good-sized crop of gooseberries, currants
and cranberries from plants set out last year.
So much for the utitarian side of the gar
den. The aesthetic side has not been neglected.
There is a marquee, where the family sits
during the summer evenings and listens to the
music from the McAlpin or the Waldorf. There
is a fshpond, where gold fish disport them
selves amid border of flowers and, though it
produces nothing edible, it is going to be en-
larged this year. There are lilacs and snow
balls and sunfowers, and some day there is
going to bea wonderful bower of roses.
Right across the middle of the roof arises a
hideous iron framework supporting a water
tank. Around the base climbing roses have
been planted, and in time even this uncouth
appurtenance of civilization will be clothed
with beauty.
OF course it means lot of work, but to the
gardeners of the Arena Building, with their
ineradicable instinct for the SOIL it is a labor
Of love.
And they cannot see why every one who has
access to a roof doesn't utilize it in the same
way. The government is advising US to cultivate
our vacant lots and back yards, why not also,
they ask, do little gardening on the roofs.

oils will do for mere fuel purposes. For this
reason, while it is a crime to feed skinned
milk to baby it is most excellent food
straight or for cooking purposes-for grown
ups on a mixed diet.
In the agonizing efforts of the dairy states
to prevent the sale of SKINNED milk for whole
milk-and WORTHY cause it is, both because
Of health and fraud--it is decreed, in New
York at least, that skinned milk shall not be
sold at all.
And so the sewer or the pigpen gets the won
derful casein and minerals left in skinned
milk that might be added to our food supply.
We are afraid if it gets loose in the community
it might masquerade as cream, so we cut the
Gordian knot by throwing it away altogether.
It is time for the pendulum to swing back
and for an educated public to demand that
SKINNED milk shall be sold, and sold "as SIGH"
for reasonable price. There is bill before
the Legislature on this very point, but it is
not law as yet.
It's like this land of plenty Of ours to float
tons of the most valuable food ingredients
down the sewer for fear it won't be sold in the
proper way or will be sold to the detriment Of
an industry.
If the milk is clean, a quart day for grow
ing children, and at least pint day for an
adult, would be good financially and physically
for everybody but the undertaker-and he has
cashed in so often on bad milk that he can we'll
afford TO lose out on this score.
The effect of the mind on digestion and ap-
petite is admitted freely by the most material
istic. Try gloating over the thought of the
perfection of milk as food and see if you
do not cultivate a taste for it! 4,
Association of ideas is a great thing, and il
that won't do, associate the milk itself with
the oysters or clans or delicious vegetable flaw
oring in soups, or use it in custards, or milk
shakes, and you can't fail to grow enthusiastic
over the only real food beverage" worthy Of
the name, whatever the advertisements Of beer
and tonics may say.

Drink her down."

horse droppings. A stable added some loads OF
pure manure.
All this made rich soil, the fertility Of
which, in spite of the teaching that results from
heavy rains, is sufficiently maintained by the
chicken droppings, these being the most valu-
able fertizing material produced by any farm

The soil was put into boxes-some of them

the roof to provide drainage, should not be
laid down.

cial and physiological, are advanced for drink
ing more milk.
It is especially urged that milk il better di-
gested and assmilated when taken with other
foods.-and working at least pint day into
the menu, either straight or in soups, custards'
sauces and desserts, is scheme of equal bene-
fit to the purse and the health.
Some of the recent efforts to promote the
use of milk have been bit pathetic, because,
with the wealth of good reasons to draw from,
conflicting virtues have been claimed that made
one dizzily turn away from the whole scheme.
A food can't be concentrated" and per
fectly balanced ration at one and the same
time, any more than north and south can come
together.
1t is always a bad plan to claim everything
in sight for any one food.
And milk, with its 50 per cent Of water Is
anything but concentrated food; it's better
than hiatt is fitted to rebuild and nourish
all parts of the body and to heat it and en-
ergize it in an almost perfect way and at rela-

Dairymen's League please take notice.
Not content with having the body builders

Uncle Sam declares that siroin steak would

grass, over which the carriage
wheels rolled noiselessly. Inside
the carriage, Delcasse spoke only
once.
"On this day of surprises, / am

clared, and relapsed into silence.
At last the carriage stopped,
and pulling back the curtains,
those within it saw they yer in
the midst of a grove of lofty
beeches.
Crochard jumped from the seat
and opened the door.

said and when the Others had
alighted, he started off before
them among the trees.
Delcasse kept close at the lead
er's heels, fairly painting with Gag
erness. Lepine followed and Mar
beau came last. The rustling of the
dead leaves beneath their feet was
the only sound which broke the
stiffness. At the end of five min
utes, they came to what was APP
parently a deserted shed. It's door
was secured by a heavy hasp and
paddock. Crochard drew a key
from his pocket, opened the pad
lock, released the hasp, and threw
back the door.

and stood aside that they might
pass.

THE HUT IN THE GROVE.

THE HUT IN THE GROVE.
General Marbeau bent with the
interest OF an expert above the
rude table on which the apparatus
was installed, and examined it
for some moments in silence. Then
he Strengthened up and glanced at
Delcasse.
"Wellg" asked the latter.

ton, SIR said Marbeau, cor at
least, part of one. Most Of the
Instruments of transmission are

instruments. In other words.
wireless messages might be sent
from here, but none could be re-
celved-unless this is a recorder of

small instrument of clock like ap-
pearance which stood on the table.

the spaced signals were sent.

He bent above the clock, and
the others heard a song as Of a.
strong spring being wound. Then
he stood erect: there were two
sharp ticks; then a long white
snap Of electricity; two ticks and
another snap; two ticks and an
other

Marbeau, and bent again above
the mechanism. In a moment he
understood.
Before the clock face was a sin
gle long hand, a second hand, ter
minating in a thin, springlike
strip of platinum. The circumfer-
ence Of the face was divided into
go spaces, and az every third space
was a slender copper pin, which
the end Of the second hand
touched In passing. Two wires, one
connected with the second hand,
the other presumably with the
copper pins, ran from the clock
down to the heavy batteries on the
floor. Every three seconds the cir
cunt was automatically closed, and
q long flash sent along the con-
ducting wire out into the air. Mar
beau stood listening for a moment
longer, then loosened one Of the
wires. The signals stopped.
Now let us see the aerial, 4 he
said, and led the way outside.
But there was no aerial in sight.
Then Orchards finger pointed
out q series Of wires among the
trees to the left Of the hut. Walk
ing directly beneath them, Mar
beau saw that there we're three
wires parallel with each other, and.
that they were stretched between
two trees about 50 feet apart.
