One Quart Of MIX.

Doctor Rosenow of Harvard univer-
sity says that the actual food value OF
n quart OF milk is equal to three
quarter pound of beef. two pounds OF
chicken. eight eggs. or two pounds Of
Goldfish. Each of these costs more. to
say nothing OF the time. labor and fuel
required In preparation. A glass Of
milk costs only 38-4 cents In Corvallis
today. The food value of that glass Of
milk Is equal to two large eggs. or a
large serving of lean meat. or two
m~oderate-sized potatoes, or five table
spoonfuls Of cooked cereal. or two ia
bl~espoonfuls Of cooked rice. or two
slices Of bread. In other words. a meal
consisting OF M glass OF milk and two
slices of bread gives you as much food
value as you would get out Of four
eggs.

NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With subtlety. but
Was Satisfied That II Would Be
Thoroughly Complete.

When Alexandra Dumas. the French
novelist, was a young man, he was
grievously insulted by a man whom he
had regarded as his friend.
Everyone expected him TO punish the
offender severely. but instead he began
looking upon him with more consider
alton and apparent frfendliness than
he had ever shown before.
At length, three years later, when
the erstwhile friend was to be married.
the novelist was asked to serve as best
man, and did so. When the ceremony
was over and the guests were leaving
meo remarked to Dumas: II have
often wondered at your kindness to
this man. Surely yours is a remark
ably forgiving nature, for although he
insulted you grossly, you have assidu-
ously studied his happiness eve since,
and even assisted him In getting mar.

"QuIte right I" answered Dumas. II

To Save Foolish MotorIst.

The officials of the Long Island
railway have begun another years
campaign to try and prevent motorists
from committing suicide by driving In
front of moving trains. Last rear the
Long Island had 100 embarrassing
gates smashed by automobile drivers.
1t was a favorite game to drive at high
speed into these barriers, smash them
and then clear the track Just q few
feet ahead of the oncoming train. Mon
days newspapers usually carry long
casualty lists resulting from foolhardy
motorcar drivers, who celebrate Sun
day by going to eternity instead Of
their intended destination. There are
reckless drivers in every state and In
every city of every state. Indianapo-
lis has Its share and sooner or later
they will learn that the game between
the automobile and the locomotive is
an unequal one. The locomotive wins
every time.
