CONDENSED MILK FOR
LITTLE SlCILIANS

The problem Of caring for the babies
Of Sicily was one which the Red Cross
workers were almost at loss to solve
until the shipment Of sweetened con-
densed milk came to their rescue. A
can Of condensed milk would last a
baby q week, for one spoonful, put in
cup Of boiling water, was sufficient for
q feeding, and SO, to many Sicilian
family the terms America" and "con-
,densed milk" will always be synony-
nous.
Last February list of fifty families
Of Italian soldiers was given to the
Red Cross workers in Italy. The fam
lies were carefully investigated and
registered and the milk was given to
them for the little children, especially
the babies. Mothers came for the cans
and were grateful beyond expression.
But with the coming of warm
weather it was necessary to give out
the milk daily, as it would not keep
sweet. The mothers brought their
own containers, and the milk was pre-
pared, sugar added. and they were In
structed carefully as to its use. Abso-
Lutte cleanliness of receptacles was in
sisted upon, and the homes were Wis
tied In order to make sure that the
milk rations were being backed by
healthful conditions.
Aside from the saving of the lives Of
the children, the soldiers are happier
and they are better soldiers now that
they know that their loved ones are
being cared for by the Crossa Rosa.

The two Red Cross doctors were at

circumscribed by human limitations.
There were just four hands and no as

A coolie entered the compartment
adjoining the cages on the trains ar

tiger had broken out of its cage and
entered the cage in which the llamas
and poultry were confined. The
coolie ran to obtain assistance, and
soon large crowd gathered at
respectful distance on railway

already killed a llama and the two
hens, but had failed to vanquish the
cockerel, which was still walking
about freely, having successfully kept
it's opponent at bay by means OF
sort OF fowl jiu jitsu."
The tiger, again and again. tried its
utmost to land its paw on the cockerel
but the latter cleverly evaded all
antly after the end Of each round.
The car was finally detached from
the train and removed to the freight
shed by the railway authorities, and
after several hours some of the iron
bars of the car were cut away and a
new cage placed against the opening.

had been placed in the new cage, how

The photoplay is based upon the

her love. There is not a moment in
the development of this great story

GETTING On in Life.

Someone whose hair was growing
iron-gray said: 81 am getting on in
life" His friend, who knew him
very wen, had his doubts. He mis-
took getting or in years for getting
ON in life. He was morally ana spir-
itually just about where he had been
&c years before. Nobody gets on in
life except those that achieve spirit
uaily. When boyhood's bad temper
persists into manhood, when one is ir-
ritable, disobliging, selfish, naughty,
proud, self-sufficient, immoral, goddess,
one should not talk about getting on
in life, even if one is as rich as Iroe-
sus. 10 get on in life is rise in
moral stature it is to lave a soul
big enough to love and admire without
envy, to be content with treasures of
the mind, to set character first of
all. The man who is ''rich in faith
gets on. The others drift down the
years, or accumulate great posses
sions, but in the essential things, the
things of eternity, they are water.

His Wonderful Memory.

Horace Annesley Vachell, playwright
and novelist, had an extraordinary
memory, which stood him in very good
stead when he wrote his play, Search
lights"
He composed the play very repidy--
straight off on his typewriter, in fact
and did not trouble to take copy. In
these circumstances, he refused to in
trust the precious manuscript to any
one less careful than himself. Hail
ing a motorcar, he brought 1t up to
town, and promptly left it behind him
on the seat of the cab!
He set himself to retype the play
from memory, and inst as he had fin
ished Scotland Yard recovered the
missing copy. Mr.. Vachell found, on
comparing the two scripts, that he had
rewritten the play almost word for
word

Functions of Marrow.

A writer in the London Lancet sug-
gests that marrow has a twofold func-
ton, not only to nourish the bone, but
to supply a most important internal
secretion. AS bearing this out, he cites
the mortality of 9S per cent in ''pri-
mary" cases of amputation high up the
thigh when the patient is in the prime
of life, with secondary" cases in
which the mortality is only 60 per cent.
In the secondary cases, where dis
eased condition has existed for some
time there is less shock, according to
the writer, because the system has be-
come gradually accustomed to getting
along without the marrow in the thigh
bone, which contains one-sixth of the
total amount ii all TIE bones.
