Dimes ON LOCUSTS
"Fine! Just Like Shrimp" Professor
Says After Meal

Baltimore. June 8. - Ethan Allen
Andrews, professor of zoology at Johns
Hopkins University. has followed his
own advice by eating locusts.
Fine, just like shrimp" was his
verdict. IF there were scarcity Of
other food. persons who had tasted them
would probably think nothing of eating
, them in large quantities"
He and others working with him in
the study of the habits and favor of
the pests are convinced that by eating
the iocusts as fast as they appear this
generation would be doing the right
thing by posteritS. So he did his bit.
!. Others equally brave have ventured to
help in the same way.
What has interfered with the con :
sumption has been the discovery that
the locusts are not in the best of health.
Many have been found suffering with a
fungus trouble. After seventeen years
underground, many are slightly moldy.
This mold, spreading from the tail for :
ward, will kill many of the insects. But
Professor Andrews fears that it will not
cause death soon enough to prevent the
laying of eggs and the propagation OF
the next generation, seventeen years
hence,

Wilmington, DEL. June 9.-The AL
fred I. du Pont faction of the Republi-

victory here on Saturday, when the city
elections resulted in putting over the
entire Republican ticket. with the ex :
ception Of i've members of the City

The result was a surprise. After the
bitter pre- election fight, a close result
was expected by leaders of both sides.
Few Republicans claimed the city for
Taylor by more than 500 votes, while
the Democrats expected a majority OF
thousand for Lawson. Taylor's ma :
jority was 1893.
The Democrats gained a victory in
the Twelfth Ward, where Murray de-
feated the Republican candidate, Will

USE MORE MILK, SAYS
EXPERT ON HYGIENE
Most People Don't Know What

Would, He Insists
"MY RELIGION" SAYS ONE

People in general don't know what

more of it."
Prof. e. V. McCollum, hygiene ex :
pert from Johns Hopkins, who was in

4 ton, made this statement. Prof. Nc
CRilum's researches In the field Of dairy
products have revolutionized the atti.
tude of scientists toward the so called
protective foods.
''In the poor sections Of our cities,
where many Of the people are suffering
from tuberculosis, and where the school
children are slowly dying of malnutri-
4 hon, they use milk least of all,' he
llaid. ''Ther buy pint Of milk day,
these families, and then use most Of 1t
In their coffee. They buy other foods
which cost just as much and do less
than one fourth the good. This is par :
ticularly true Of the foreign popula-
ton"
1.-THE milk dealers are interested in
only the sale of milk, but they don't
/. know what gold mine it is,'' sale G.
Watson French, wealthy breeder from
Iowa. "If they knew anything about
the milk they sold, they'd pass on what
they know to the consumers. And then
they'd sell more milk

In the study of milk.
Rs For those who don't know, and there
are many, according to the opinion Of
breeders, milk is defined in the cir

Pasteurized milk is milk that has
