When Mrs. Butler Guthrie moves
her Tea Shop into new quarters next
week, the room which she vacates will
be equipped as a small factory for the
Manufacture of fraternity jewelry by
the Worrell Jewelry Company.
Several years ago R. D. Worrell
added a department Of fraternity
jewelry to his business, intending to
try his luck among the Greek-letter
folks on a small scale. From the very
start he met uith unusual success, and
when the Worrell Company was moved
to its present quarters on the corner
of Promenade and jefferson streets, a
| special section of the mezzanine floor
was reserved for fraternity and sor.
ority goods. Orlando Worrell is II

PROPOSED new CONSTITUTION
IS FOURTH N NOS HISTORY

If the plans Of a well organized
body Of workers materialize, Mis-
souri, will have its fourth constitution
next year. Petitions are being cir
culated for a special election in Aug
ust to authorize the calling of a con-
stitutional convention. If a new con-
stitution is adopted, it will be the
fourth which the state has had.
When Missouri was admitted to the
Union the first constitution was drawn
up. Although Missouri had petitiontd
for Admission to the union in 1918, the
conflict between the slavery and free
parties prolonged the matter of ad-
mission until 1921. Under the famous
Missouri Compromise, a constitutions
convention was held in the Mansion
House in St. Louis early in June o.
1920. All free and white men owe Il
who had resided in the territory TO.
three months, were allowed to vote
The delegates elected to the conven
ton numbered forty-one.
The convention adopted a constl
tuition which went into effect immed
lately upon admission of Missouri b
Congress as a state in the union.
The change effected by the Civ
War necessitated the second const
tuition. 1t was drawn up by a cor
vention which met in the Merchantil
Library Hall of st. Louis in 1865.
The third alteration in the state
constitution took place ten veal
later.

What do you do with sour milk!
Drink it or threw it away?
II you would be really modern and
progressive, drink sour milk. For
this liquid, which is considered by
most people as only fit for hogs, is
in reality a very healthy drink for
human beings.
If the restaurants of Mexico may
be taken as an indicator of the public
taste, sour milk is appearantly still
obscure and unpopular here, The de-
mand for butter-milk is, as always,
good, but, according to cafe owners
soured milk is still sold to farmers
for hog food. In a few years, how
ever, the SKINNED product will be as
much in demand when sour as it IL
when fresh. At least that is the opin'
ion Of DR.. M. P. Kavenal OF thu
School of Medicine at Missouri Uni
versity. He declares that through thu
influence Of Professor Metchnikof o
the Pasteur Institute in Paris, SOU
milk has won recognition as
healthy article Of diet.
Metchinoff, who maae many stud
. les on the prolongation Of life, cam
to the conclusion that n great caus
of Seiility was putrefaction of foo
in the intestinal tract and ABSORB
; ton of the poisonous products.
1t is a known fact that many nation
of the world, especially those c
Western Asia and Eastern Europ
/. look upon sour milk as an essenti'
part of their daily diet. Among II
Bulearians, who use sour milk hal
itually, an unusual number OF vel

old people is found. Metchnikof be-
lieved that this was due to the large
amount of sour milk used. Therefore
he isolated the germ from this sour
milk, and after a number Of exper-
iments showed that when this was
given in milk the bacteria normally
fouad in the intestinal tract could be
driven out and replaced by the germ
given.
1t is well known that most putre-
factive-organisms thrive best in an
| alkaline medium. When a germ
which has the power of forming a
high amount of acid is introduced into
the digestive tract, it replaces these
germs and stops the putrefaction
which is going on. All of the FERN
ented milks which haye been known
for many years have this property to
a certain extent, such as Kumyss,
Maatzoun, Yoghurt etc.
Tablets containing the acid-forming
germ dried in some inert medium are
for sale on the market, and have ach-
ieved a great success. They r used
now by physicians largely in the
treatment of intestinal disorders in
infants.
Sour mix, whether buttermilk
skinned milk or whole milk, ha'
: much to recommend it. 1t is a nutri
{ tious and wholesome diet for an!
