CHILDREN MUST HAVE MILK

Good milk is a necessary food for
young children and q good food for
adults. The food commissioner has APP
pointed commissioners to investigate
and fix prices for milk in two and per-
haps more places. The New York COM
mission hal reported, n every one
consumers. producers n distributors
are vehement in prOtestatiOns. The
Chicago commission will probably meet
with no better luck.
A price that is beyond the wishes of
the consumer means decreased use Of
whole milk, and that means increased
cost Of production and especially Of dis
trtbution. A price that is below the
wishes Of the producer and distributor
means decreased production.
It seems clear that the discomfort of
milk producers arises from two sources.
Mixers are hard to get and expensive.
The demand for labor at high prices
causes discomfort among the paid milk
ers. Some declare they will not milk
at n price. Others want the price per
hour paid in the factories. Corn, oats.
command such prices that the dairy
men feel tempted to quit COWS and
go into grain growing wherever their
lands will make grain or salable hay.

by using less milk. Children over / year
and under 16 should have much more
milk than they get. Adults can thrive
on far less than they get. In the first
place 1t would be just as well to o

should develop a new line of recipes.
Cheaper vegetable proteins and fat
could be worked into these recipes.
Milk at present prices is not economic
food. It is cheaper than the expensive
cuts Of meat. but 1t Is not cheaper than
the bargain cuts and It is much more
expensive than breads and other
staples. Many adults use milk as "a

once during the night. And that's
what frightens me-"
He had to make a real effort in
order to step forward. He was now
almost touching the bed.
The engineer did not appear to
breathe.
This time, Perenna resolutely
took hold of his hand.
1t was icy cold.
Don Luis at once recovered all
his self possession.
"The. window! Open the win
dow!" he cried.
And, when the light flooded the
room, he saw the face of Hippolyte
all SWOLLEN, stained with
brown patches.
"Oh," he said, under his breath,
s"he's dead!"
Clash it all! Dash it ALT"
spluttered the detective sergeant.
For two or three minutes they
stood petrified, Supplied, stag
gered at the sight of this most as
tonishing and mysterious phenom-
enon. Then a sudden idea made
Perenna start. He flew up the
winding staircase, rushed along
the gallery, and darted into the
attic.
Edmond, Hippolyte Fauville's
son, lay stiff and stark on his bed,
with a cadaverous face, dead, too.
"Dash it all. Dash it ALI" re-
peated Mazeroux.
Never, perhaps, in the course Of
his adventurous career, had Peren-
ma experienced such a knockdown
blow. 1t gave him a feeling of ex-
IRENE lassitude, depriving him of
all power of speech or movement.
Father and son were dead! They
had been killed during that night.

house was watched and every out

been poisoned by an Internal pune

poisoned, even as Cosmo Morning

once more. 81 was not worth

The exclamation conveyed a re-

ma. "You re right especially

They ran down the stairs.
"Leave this to me-" said Mazer-
oux. cts more regular that you
shouldn't touch the safe.'
He took the bunch, moved the
glass case, and inserted the key
with a feverish emotion which Don
Luis felt even more acutely than
he did. They were at last about
to know the details Of the mysteri-
Gus story. The dead man himself
would betray the secret Of his muir
derers.
"Lord, what a time you take!"
growled Don Luis.
Mazeroux plunged both hands
into the crowd of paper that en-
numbered the iron shelf.

"Whatf"
"The diary"
II can't, chief"
"What's that"

Don Luis stifled an oath. The
drab cloth diary, which the engi-
neer had placed in the safe before
their eyes, had disappeared.
Mazeroux shook his head.
"Dash it all! So they knew
about that daryl"
"Of course they did, and they
knew plenty Of other things be-
sides. We've not seen the end of it
with those fellows. There's no
time to lose. Ring upl"
Mazeroux did so and soon re-
ceived the answer that M. Desma-
lions was coming to the telephone.
He waited.
In a few minutes Perenna, who
had been walking up and down,
examining different objects in the
room, came and sat down beside
Mazeroux. He seemed thoughtful.
He reflected for some time. But
then, his eyes falling on the fruit
dish, he muttered:
"Hullo! There are only three
apples instead of four. Then he
ate the fourth" ..as
"Yes," said Mazeroux, che
must have eaten it, s
"That's funny" replied Peren-
ma, "for he didn't think them
ripe" ,8ss.t
He was silent once more, sat
leaning his elbows on the table,
visibly preoccupied then, raising
his head, he let fall these words:
"The murder was committed be-

CHAPTER THREE. Continually

"Capital!" said Pcrenna to him
self. "The boulevard is watched.
No one IA enter the room except
by this way. So there is nothing
to fear"
At 2 o'clock in the morning a
car stopped outside the house, and
one of the m%anservants, who must
have been waiting in the kitchen
fastened to the front door. Per-
enna switched off the light in the
passage, and, drawing the cur
tain slight aside, saw Nine. Eau
vile enter, followed by Sylvester.
She went up. The lights on the
staircase were put out. For half
an hour or SO there was a sound
overhead of voices and of chairs
moving. Then all was silence.
And, amid this silence, Perenna
felt an unspcakable anguish arise
within him, he could not tell why.
But it was so violent, the imprc.
sion became so acute, that he mutt
tered:
81 shall go and see if he S
asleep. l don't expect that he has
bolted the DOORS"
He had only to push both doors
to open them; and, with his cleo
trio lantern in his hand, he went
up to the bed.
Hippolyte Fauville was sleeping
with his face turned to the wall.
Perenna gave a smile Of relief.
He returned to the passage, and,
shaking Mazeroux:
"Your turn, Alexander"
"No news, chief?'
ono, none; he S asleep"
Glow do you know"
GIVE had'a look at him"
That's funny; l never heard
you. It's true, though, I've slept

He. followed Perenna into the
study, and Percnna said:
"Sit down and don't wake him.
I shall take 40 winks.''
He had one more turn at sentry
duty. But, even while dozing. he
remained conscious of all that hap
pened around him. A clock struck
the hours with Il low chime; and
each time Pcrenna counted the
strokes. Thcn~came the life o,;t-
side awakening, the rattle Of the
milk carts, the whistle oil the early
suburban trains.
People began to STIR inside the
House. The dc. flight tricklea in

BALKAN ADVANCE
IS CONSIDERED
WONDERFUL feat
Serbs Have Stormed Positions
Thought to Be Impregnable
One Of Biggest Events.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The London
newspapers this morning comment on
the Balkan advance as an astonishing
achievement and more SURPRISING
one than Gen. Allenby's operation in
Palestine.
The Bulgarian front had proved it
self impenetrable so often that the
first news of the attack week ago
typographical difficulties had been so
repeatedly explained--mountain ranges
twisting and doubling up on each
other In bewildering fashion; the
lack Of roads and the existence of in
Vulnerable deep ravines.-that the peo-
pie here had come to regard the pos.
sibilities of this front as limited. Now
in view of the happenings of the past
few days, and the immense losses the
Bulgarians already have suffered, the
commentators anticipate further big
successes by the allies.
THE whole line on front of a
hundred miles is in rapid movement,
says the Daily Telegraph. while the
wedges separating the two Bulgarian
armies threatens their destruction
The Daily Graphic assumes that one
of the chief aims is the capture of
Uskub, the main avenue for an invas-
ion of Bulgaria and thinks the move
ments now in progress are tending
swiftly to such a consumation. The
also thinks that it will be
difficult for the Bulgarian army with
its base at Prilet to escape big dis
aster.
The Serbians have performed one
Of the most wonderful fe Z ) in military
history, a deed comparable to, the
breaking of the Wotan line says the
Daily Mail. They have stormed po-
sitions which many of the allied ex-
perts regarded as impregnable.'

FORCE OF 100000
OPPOSED ENGLISH
IN PALESTINE
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. Monday. Sept. 23-Gen.
eral Allenby's remarkable success in
Palestine was achieved against a
total enemy strength of 100000 Turks,
according to unofficial dispatches
reaching London. Figures as to the
number of men in the Turkish army
in the Holy Land have hitherto refer
red merely to rifle strength. The
Turkish forces held positions of ex-
ceptional strength. with three lines
of well dug trenches and abundant ar
tillery and machine gun positions.
The Turks were completely sur
prised according to Reuters cores
pondent in Palestine. The mobility
Of the allied forces and the boldness
of General Allenby's plan of hitting
at the strongest point in the Turkish
defenses added to the success. The
rush of the British cavalry completed
the enemy's discontinue.
The Turkish reserves consisted of
troops which recently arrived from
the Caucasus. Field Marshal Liman
Won Sanders, commander of the Turk
ish forces, and his staff, escaped cap
ture by only six hours.
Not the least remarka BILE feature of
General Allenbys success lies in the
reorganization he effected in his
forces since the German offensive on
the western front last March, necessi-
tated the withdrawal to France of a
part of his army.

Thompson Tells Congress

GERMAN MORALE Low
(Ry Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Describ-
ing his recent visit to the western
front, Senator Thompson of Kansas,
democrat, told the senate today that
while in some quarters there is a be-
lief that the war can be ended this
year, the general opinion abroad is
that another year will be required to
bring Germany to her knees. America,
he declared, had put pep into the
wards Berlin"
Senator Thompson said he opposed
"makeshift, compromise or half way
peace" and declared it must be final
and conclusive and destroy forever
kaiserism and militarism throughout
the world.
German morale was never lower
than at the present time, he said,
while the armies of the allies are con-
vinced they are fighting winning
cause and that victory is all but with
in their grasp" The United States
entrance into the war is primarily
responsible for this change. he added.
Superior in Air.
tillery do the allies predominant but
they have a complete superiority in
the air. Despite the criticism in this
country of the aircraft program, he
said, planes are now arriving in
France from this country about as
rapidly as they can be taken care Of"
He branded as false statements made
in the senate some time ago that in
July only one battle plane equipped
with liberty motor. was in France
'The truth is." he declared, "deliv-
cry Of these planes was not expected
earlier than July l, while as matter
OF fact, the first liberty motor plane
arrived, was set up complete and
christened on May IS last and they
have been arriving over there at the
rate of five or six per day ever since"
The first five planes equipped with
liberty motors had the misfortune, he
said, to land behind the German lines
He pronounced the liberty motor as
the best motor in existence" and
worth whatever less has been caused
by delay in perfecting it.
