USE MORE MILK
Surplus of Dairy Products in u.
S. Should Be Substituted
for Meat and Wheat.

Milk is one of the most important
food sources the human race possesses.
For the proper nourishment of the
child it Is absolutely indispensable. It
contains all the essential food elements
in the most available form for ready
digestion, and recent scientific discov-
cries show it to be especially rich in
certain peculiar properties that alone
render growth possible. For the pur-
pose of stimulating growth, butter fat
and other constituents of milk have
no substitutes.
Due to the shortage of shipping and
the priority of wheat, the usual export
of butter, cheese, and condensed milk
is cut off. If these products are not
consumed, the prices for them will fall
so low that the dairymen will not pro-
duce them.
This must not happen. We must
maintain our present rate of supply
and prepare to increase it so we can
ship dairy products to the Allies when
the shipping situation improves.
France and Great Britain face a seri-
Gus shortage of milk. French food reg
ulations forbid public eating houses to
serve or consume butter except in the
preparation of certain food, and in Lon
don, an adult cannot buy glass OF
milk even if he is willing to pay $40
for it. 1t is certain that these countries
will make heavy demand on us for
dairy products, and even for herds,
when the shipping conditions permit
of their transportation.
Milk, butter and cheese furnish the
vital elements of nutrition. Pound for
pound cottage cheese equals lean meat
in food value, it is just as efficient a
muscle builder as meat or eggs, and
moye efficient than cereals. Butter and
milk are requisite to the health and
growth of children, and, considered
with respect to their relative food
value are cheap at an apparently high
price.
A greater use of the dairy products
results in a necessary increase In the
dairy business, conservation of grains.
and better nutrition for the public.

WHY FRANCE NEEDS WHEAT

France never did produce all the
wheat she used. In 1914 her production
was about 81 per cent of the normal
consumption. In 1917 the production
was but 45 per cent of the normal pro.
duction.
After deducting the amount neces.
sary for seed, it is estimated that the
1917 production will be one-third
Frances needs.
France cannot ecor omize on food as
much more than usual as we can in the
United States because her food con.
sumption has always been very close
to her actual food necessities. They
cannot increase their supplies by war
gardens, for most of them are in the
habits of growing their own garden
supplies, and they are famed for their
careful household management.
Last year France kept her food sup
ply production plus exports) up to
Sc per cent of normal. This year it has
fallen to between so and 70 per cent.
The rations of the French soldiers
has been cut twice. A soldiers ration
is never lowered until the danger at
home from food shortage far outweighs
the damage the same lack can do at
the front.
England, who needs food badly, con-
siders the French situation so serious
that she shares her scanty supply OF
wheat with France.

BUTTER A GOOD FOOD

AS a food, butter contains two ele-
ments which make it distinct from
other foods. First, its power to stimu.
late growth, and second, its power to
serve as a source of energy for the
maintenance of bodily activity. From
this point of view, it may be truthfully
said that butter fat has no substitute,
This applies in less degree to all
dairy products containing butter fat
They are highly nutritious and com
paritively cheap food.

'Du Barry" the great William Fox photoplay, in which Theda Bara does her most brilliant work, will appear at the Alcazar theatre all week.

For more than 60 years Masks and Faces" the fascinating story of Peg Wellington, which comes to Loew's Bijou Thursday, Friday and Saturday, has held the place of honor among all our old English costume comedies. Written by those famous -Victorans,, Charles Reade, the novelist and Tom Taylor, the great and prolific playwright, the com edy was produced in 1852. with Fanny Stirling, beloved of an earlier genera ton, in the role of Peg, the vivacious Irish beauty, who rose from the humble calling of an orange girl to become ia nous actress and the darling of her day Since then it has never been absent from the boards. Often revived in London and played year in and year out in every corner of the English-speaking world, Masks and Faces with its sweet hu- manity and appealing mixture of wit and pathos. has delighted playgoers of every age and quality, just as it has attracted to it's cast all the leading players of the past two generations In 1857 Sir Squire and Lady Bancroft drew fashion able London to their little theatre in Tottenham street by the appeal of Peg and Tripdet, while Ellen Terry, history tells us, moved the audience deeply as Mabel vane, with her intensely sympa- thetic voice and manner In 1881. at the Haymarket Marion Terry played Mabel vane, while Marie Bancroft again de- lighted London with her subtle power of expressing the humor that is so near akin to tears More recently most interest ing impersonation of Triplet was given by Laurence Irving. who played the part in 1908.
 Yet throughout all the history of the play there has never been an occasion so impressive as that which called to- gether the extraordinary cast that ap- pears in the photo version.
 Such an assemblage was only made possible by the volition of the players, who, to aid the funds of the Academy of Dramatic Art, came together in true spirit of comaraderie to give even minor parts the benefit of great artistic gifts
 The two central characters that dom inant the screen are the Triplet of Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson. one of the greatest among the English living actors, and Peg, the heroine, portrayed by Miss Irene Vanbrugh, whose charm in the part makes it difficult to realize that in this we witness her debut on the screen. From grave to gay. from tears to laughter, she runs the whole gamut of the emotions. holding her audience spell bound all the while Miss Gladys Cooper, another but less recent recuit to cinema tography, plays Mabel Vane, the young squire's wife, and gives a fine impress sion of part that has had many great opponents.

in grasping the, subject and in putting 1t upon the screen.
 One of the most remarkable fea- lures of the play is the dresses that Miss Bara wears. which were specially designed by her, after long consulta, tons with experts on the period of Louis XIV. These dresses are peculiar, however, in one way. They might easily appear in drawing rooms of to- day Every one of them is study of the art of womanly adornment and is thing of beauty in itself.
 Miss Bara has discovered and re- vealed a thousand little details of the womanly toilette which will be i'm mensely interesting to every woman. These secrets are revealed upon the screen in most fascinating way, ard make the film additionally attractive to all whom women charm.
 In this play Miss Bara does her best work. due to the fact that she has grasped the possibilities of the drama and has entered into it with a spirit which only she possesses. There are myriads of gorgeous scenes. each filled with brilliancy and charm.

The symbol of the "wingfoot," which has become so we'll known all over the world, in association with Goodyear tires has been the subject of many in quiries received by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company at Akron. o.
 What is the significance of this foot and wing?" is question that has come to thousands of tire users, many of whom have written to the company for explanation, and thousands of whom have unsatisfyingly and wonderingly dismissed it from their minds. hoping to obtain suitable explanation later.
 The responsibility for the adoption of this symbol rests with the same person who bore the responsibility for the com pany tself-President F. A. Seiberling. For it was he. the founder of the com pany, that first coupled this emblem with rubber products.
 In the old Seiberling home in Akron, on a newel post of the stairway, for many years there stood a gilded statue of that famous god of mythology, perched on tiptoe, known to the ancient Romans as Mercury. and to the Greeks as Hermes.
 One morning, back in the days when - the company was just emerging from the realm of ideas and theories to practical and tangible form, as he was about to leave his home for the office, President Seiberlings particular attention was at- tracted to the wing-footed statue on the stairway. He was at that time search ing for an emblem for his products. and after moments reflection that this one embodied many of the characteristics for which these rubber products were known. the symbol was decided upon.
 Mercury was the god of trade and commerce, but it was as swift mes- senger for all the gods of mythology that he was best known in ancient times, and as such he has been handed down through the ages. The idea of speed had great deal to do with the selection of the symbol, for the wing footed Mercury was regarded as a fleet herald of good news, but it is as her.

Captain of the Florence H. and All Deck Officers
 Are Believed to Be Killed

New York, April 26.-Capt.. F. J. But terfield and all the deck officers of the American steamship Florence H. now are believed to have lost their lives wh~ n that ship was destroyed by an explosion April r, while off the French coast. A list of survivors received here today by cable from the American consul at Brest does not contain their names. It is also shown that only two of the engine room officers escaped uninjured, the others be- ing reported as badly burned.
 A checking up of the caDled list with the record of the crew filed with the United States shipping commission here when the Florence H. sailed shows that out of 56 men i'll the civilian crew, 2y are dead or missing, 12 are in hospitals badly burned, two are slightly burned, and only 8 escaped uninjured There IS a possibility, however. officials of the United States shipping board here said. that some of the is..ss.ng may yet be accounted for, but as the Florence H. was near a port when the explosion oc- cured. this hope is remote. Chief Engi- neer James B. Watson and First Assist ant Engineer Stciokiand are among those who escaped injury, the second and third assistants being badly burned. All of the killed and injured of the crew ! are either from eastern states or are for eigners.
 The cable advices also gave the name of Playin, a seaman, which does not ap pear on the crew list here. He was badly burned also.
 In addition to the civilian crew, there were on board 23 men of a naval guard, six of when have been reported as sur vivors through the navy department at Washington.
 The Florence H. sailed from Philadel- phia March 30 with cargo part of which was explosives. A recent cable advice from Paris said that the explosion was believed 70 have been caused by bomb planted on the ship before she sailed
 Captain Butterfield, master of the ,es- sell only recently joined the shipping board service. For number of years he was In command of a collier of the United States navy. He was unmarried and made his home with his mother at Haverhill, Mass.
