a verdict of not guilty. His lawyers

GET READY FOR
BUTTERMILK DAY,
JULY |, SAYS IS.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-July l
is National Buttermilk Day.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-July 1
is National Buttermilk Day.
Buttermilk, the United States De
partment of Agriculture thinks, is
one of the best drinks in the world
nutritious, palatable and full of
zest and vim. The man who drinks
buttermilk regularly and copiously
is doing a good turn for himself. That
is one of the purposes of proclaiming
National Butermilk Day. The other
is that the dairy industry in the Uni
ted States will be discouraged.
Buttermilk day, it is hoped, viii
remind many people of this drink,
introduce it t oothers, and be the be-
ginning of a greater consumption of
buttermilk that will contribute to
the health and happiness of the con-
sumers, and, at the same time, help
dairy farmers to develop production,
To insure an ample supply of but
termilk, both for homes and for
hotels and restaurants on July /, the
Department of Agriculture requests
creameries, milk plants, and other
dairy establishments to cooperate
in the plan to popularize the drink.
1t is pointed out that, while straight
buttermilk is an excellent drink, there
are a number of delicious combina4
tons. Buttermilk lemonade is obtain
ed by adding the juice Of two or three
lemons to a quart of buttermilk, with
sugar to taste Buttermilk may be
combined with lemon juice, orange
juice or eggs and sugar for making
frozen dainties.
Aside from it's food and beverage
qualities, buttermilk is said to possess
medical qualities. Many physicians
prescribe it in the treatment of certain
intestinal disorders. The bacteria
that brings about the chemical change
by which butterfilk is produced is be-
lieved by many physicians and bacter-
iologsts to destroy certain other or
ganisms that, in the human body,
tend to hasten senility. Many prom
inant men drink buttermilk regularly
as a tonic. One of the most widely
known lecturers and writer's in the
United States drinks butterniik as
regularly as he brushes his teeth
and declares that he feels himself
getting younger with every glasstul.

AFTER
FOREIGN TRADE
Is Pushing Peace-Time Exorts
Up to Unprecedented
Figures

Paris, May 9.-Canada is in the
midst of an energetic campaign for for
eign trade. which, from results thus far
achieved, bids fair shortly to push her
peace-time exports up to unprecedent-
de figures. On armistice day Canada s
/ foreign commerce, outside of that in
war materials. was virtually at stand
still, because of lack of shipping facili-
ties and the conditions imposed by war.
To-day, five months later, the volume
of her peace-time trade Is said to be
equal to that before the war, and the
receipts to be greater. Canada's ex-
ports in 1914 were valued at approxi-
mateE S430,000, 900.
AS Sir George Foster, Canadian min
lister of trade and commerce, who is in
Paris, pointed out to the correspondent
of the Associated Press, the foreign
field for Canadian activities is virtually
without limit. The difficulty which Is
being encountered is the inability of
European countries to pay for goods. al
though they are anxious to get them.
Canada already has granted credits of
S25 100000 each to Belgium, Greece,
Rumania and France, making n total
of S100,000,000. Other credits are un-
der discussion. Large advances also
have been made to the mother country
to enable her to pay for products for
herself and her allies
Canada is operating in the foreign
field through well organized system of
trade commissioners. This has been
supplemented by a trade mission in
London and a branch mission in Paris.
This machinery is designed to get into
close and quick touch with European
necessities with a view of placing Can
ada's natural and Industrial resources
at the service of the countries over here
for reconstruction. The results thus far
achieved have given rise to great op-
timism in regard to Canadas immediate
future in trade.
large part of Canada's wartime in
dustries are said to be convertible for
peace-time manufactures. Canada's
war industries were, as matter of fact,
really an organization of her peace IA
cilitics. Sir George Foster estimates
that the losses which will be sustained
in the conversion will be a minimum.
Coupled with the quick return to peace
conditions industrially has been the sue
cessful working out of the demobiliza-
ton scheme for the troops. These men
are rapidly being absorbed into their
old occupations. All the Canadian
troops remaining on this side will be
back in about two months. it is stated,
ready to take up their pre-war work.
