Chateau-Thierry and Belleau Wood
and passed a full year abroad as
United States marine has obtained an
appointment for the naval academy
and is in Annapolis preparing for his
entrance examinations next spring.
he is Arthur G. Heller, son of G.
Arthur Heller an attorney Of New
ark, N. j., and is now student at a
naval preparatory school here.
Young Heller is a most modest
youth and declines to say anything
about his exploits. He wishes only
to pass his examinations for the acad-
envy and to enter as any other youth,
working hard for advancement through
the different classes and finally to win
commission In the navy He was
loath to accept the appointment,
which was obtained without solicita-
ton on his part, as he wished to stay
abroad until the end Of the war. He
was with the very first troops that
went to France with Pershing.
He was cited in the debates In con-
gress upon the question Of lowering
the draft age as an example Of what
very young man could accomplish,
for Heller enlisted Ia the marine corps
when he was only sixteen and has just
reached eighteen. Consequently he
carried his full burden Of campaign
and actual combat while he was seven
teen. It was argued from his case
that the best kind Of lighting could be
done by American youths between the
ages Of eighteen and twenty-one.

virtue Of q regular congressional APP
polntment. There are quite a number
OF other service men in Annapolis also

FEW MUSICIANS BREAK LAWS

1t has often been said In print that
music was brought into the world to
uplift and beautify our humdrum ne
chanlcal lives. A public school princi-
pal regrets that his teachers are only
giving one and a half hours a week to
the study of music. He regrets this,
because he says through music and it's
educational value young people become
better citizens, more useful members
of society and more effective servants
of the state.

Federal Food Inspectors Watch Fac,
tories Making Product-Much
Being Shipped Overseas

(Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agricultural
Federal food inspectors Of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
are giving special attention to fac
tories where milk is condensed OF
evaporated for use of the allied
armies and for consumers at home.
Condensed or evaporated milk is q
most important article Of food even in
peace times. 1t is used by bakeries
and confectioneries, and in feeding
babies and the sick, as well as being
used as a general substitute for fresh
milk wherever the raw milk cannot be
obtained in sufficient quantity or pur-
ity.
In time of war, evaporated milk be-
comes a necessity, because it can be
transported with ease and win keep a
reasonable time under conditions
where it is impossible to obtain or
keep fresh milk. AS much as SO per
cent Of the output Of many large fac
tories is being shipped overseas for
the use Of the allied armies.
Inspectors examine the sanitary
condition Of factories where milk Is
condensed or evaporated, sterilized
and canned. Samples Of the raw milk
as received at the factories are taken
for analysis by chemists and bac-
terlologists to see that 1t is clean and
wholesome and that it possesses the
proper proportion Of butterfat and 9TH
er ingredients. The processes Of evap-
Grafton, sterilization, and canning are
studied; samples Of the finished Evap-
GRATED product are taken for examina-
ton In order that 1t may be deter
mined whether the evaporated milk
has been condensed to the proper con-
stituency. contains the right food ele-
ments, and is clean and wholesome.
The contents Of the cans are weighed
and compared with the amount stated
on the labels. The labels on the cans
are critically studied to see that there
Is NO misbranding or false statements
made regarding the quantity, the quail
ity, or the strength Of the evapOrated
milk.
Inspectors Of the various states Coz
operate with the federal food inspec-
tors in this work. The federal food
and drugs act applies only to ship
ments Of foods that enter interstate
or foreign commerce. State inspectors
have Jurisdiction over products made
and sold wholly within the state.
The Joint authority Of the federal
and state inspectors often enables
them, working together, to correct
abuses which either working alone
could not reach. Adulterated or mis-
branded condensed milk, when shipped
into interstate or foreign commerce,
may be seized under the federal food
and drugs act, and the manufacturer
or other responsible party may be
prosecuted under the criminal sections
of the law. The state food inspectors
have authority, under the law Of soma
states, to require insanitary factories
to close until put into sanitary condi-
ton.
Evaporated or condensed milk, as
defined for the guidance Of the officials
IN enforcing the food and drugs act,
must be made from whole, fresh, clean
milk, and contain not less than 25.b
per cent Of total solids, and not less
than rs per cent Of milk fat.

This is the largest amount ever netted by a High School play in Juneau and shows the appreciation that the citizens have of the schools and the efforts of the students. A check for $70.00 has been given the Red Cross as it's percentage of the proceeds. The balance will be util- ized for purchasing necessary school equipment. Seventy-five dollars will be used to make a second payment on the piano recently purchased for the school. A curtain will likely be secured for the school auditorium stage and this will make it possible to use the school building to a much greater advantage.
