That the race meeting. at Mt. Yer
non next week, June 20 and 80, and

DRINK MILK

Prof. f. N. McCOllum of Johns
Hopkins university says that If
Americans would each drink quart
of milk day, and eat proportionate.
ly less meat, they would live to a
riper old age, and would be healthier
and have better eyesight right along.
He has proved It by rats, which for
dietary purposes are said to be much
like human beings. For 15 years
Prof. MeCollum has been experiment
in. with his charming little pets, feed
of human beings. as far as the fifth
generation. When rat is not fed
properly, 1t suffers from malnutrition
just like a child, with ricketts, and 9th
er familiar symptoms. When il gets
the proper amount of butter fats and
other requirements for an ample and
balanced ratiCn, 1t thrives So do
children, and so. the professor insists,
will men and women IL they will pay
as much attention to their diet as in
telligent pos,nle now pay to the feed

more beef steers but more mich cows
not more herds but more dalries.
And with them. or as a condition

more appreciative of the virtues Of
milk The ordinary adult, male or
female, really has little appreciation
either Of the dietary value of good
milk or OF its cheapness compared
with other foods containing the same
amount of nourishment. 1t Is espec.
tally desirable in the summer time,
when 1t combines the virtues of n
non.heating food with seasonal plenty
and cheapness.

RETAINED RELICS OF CALLED
FanaticaI Admirer of the Great italian
Insisted on Keeping Portions
of His Body.

The report that Robert Bruces
heart has been discovered at MeE
rose, in Scotland, reminds an Italian
paper Of the fate Of Galileo's remains,
according to the Manchester (Eng)
Guardian.
When the body of Calico was ex-
humed from its original resting place
on March II, 1877, and removed to
the magnificent mausOleum in the
Church of Santa Croce, Florence,
Marquis Vincenzo Capponi, who was
O. fanatical admirer of Calico, took
possession Of the right-hand thumb
and fOrefinger.
Some of those present at the ex-
humation protested strongly, but the
marquis had his way, declaring his
intention to Cherish these fingers as
sacred relics" which prompted the re-
tort: Instead of Galileo's fingers it
would be better for you to have his
BRAINS"
This bad example proved conta-
gious, for the left thumb and one OF
the ribs were annexed by two other
members of the company, and these
relics are now in the museum of the
university. Marquis Capponi had an
urn made for his portion Of the body
which all newcomers were called upon
to admire as the greatest treasure in
the house.
At the beginning Of the last century
the Capponi family fell upon evil
days and emigrated to France, leaving
the Calico relics to become the prop
erty of an old butler who had long
been in their service. Other .oddments
given him by his master proved sal
able, but he could find no market for
Galileo's finger and thumb, and these
eventually passed to one of the but
ler's descendants, Signora Laura
Joni. In 1905, when she was old and
poor, some one advised Signora Joni
to offer to sell the relics to the Ital-
ian government. Inquiries were in
stituted which proved the authentic
ity of the relics beyond doubt, and
they are now preserved with other
mementoes Of Calico, the vendor
having received handsome price for
them.

The Wonderful Geese of 1927.

J. T. Kerr, planter of Concordia
parish, Louisiana, and member of the
fifth district levee board, has pair
of trained wild geese. He says they are
equal in intelligence to the famous
hog of Col. Tucker Gibson of Natchez.
Mr.. Kerr has just finished teaching
the geese to fish. He declares they
knew how to swim and dive, so it
was only necessary to teach them to
catch the fish and bring them to his
boat.
Speaking of the geese, Mr.. Kerr said
his greatest trouble was teaching them
to select only perch, bass or trout. He
is ready to demonstrate at Lake st.
John in Concordia parish, at any time.

binary court routine Of receiving 1or-
eign diplomats and attending state
functions. Ambassadors and ministers
from abroad now present their creoeh-
tails to this modest, almost shy, YOUTH
who also presides at the big New year
receptions and other imperial rune
lions. Sometimes he is assisted by MS
mother, the empress, but usually ne
fulfills the duties of an emperor I'M
assisted. Last fall he attended the
annual grand maneuvers of the army
in Kyushu and is said to have taken
an active and intelligent interest III
the mimic warfare.
The poor health of the emperor is
one of the chief reasons given Tor the
decision not to extend the prince
present tour to the United States. His
imperial majesty is believed to be suf-
fering from an illness from which he
is not expected to recover, and there
is no knowing when Prince Hirohito
may be called to mount the throne.
There is book much circulated
entitled, 1.-THE Making of a Grown
Prince" which relates in naive detail
the uneventful story of young Prince
Hirohito's early years. When he was
eight years old a separate dwelling,
suited to the needs of normal, grow
ing boy, was built for him in the COM
pound of the Ayoama palace, in which
was the nursery in which he had spent
most of the first eight years OF his
life. In this simple dwelling Prince
Hirohito spent the years Of his youth
in study and in games designed to
build up his physique.
AS he grew older he took to man
lier sports, the athletic pastimes thai
have been a part of Japanese YOUTH
for ages. He was trained early in
riding, and today sits his mount easily
and gracefully. He became a swords
man, too, and handles the blade of
Japanese sword with skill. Although
his slight frame prevented his engag
ing in more strenuous sports, he il
a great devotee of sumo, the Japanese
form of wrestling.
Until about three years ago the prince
attended the Peers school, an academ!
in Tokyo for the blue-blooded youth Of
japan. He attended his classes regu
larly with his mates, all scions O.
princely and noble houses, riding eacl
day three or four miles in a carriage
from his palace. Until two years ag'
the prince had not ridden in an auto
mobile, as it was only recently tina
the conservatism that had hedged thu
imperial family of Japan about fol
ages permitted the introduction of thi'
twentieth century means of locomo
ton.
Following the years at the Peers
school came a course of study under {
special corps of tutors in what is called
"emperor's studies" a phase Of hi
education through which the prince il
still passing. He completed the frs
mart of his curriculum just a few day.
before he sailed for England, and thu
more advanced part will be continued
during the voyage to Europe.

Oh the sea OF Japan. ILLS SltAAACN Oh~
samurai, personifcation of the Ideals
of Bushido, commander Of the victorl-
Gus fleet in the only decisive major
naval engagement of the Twentieth
century, has devoted his whole atten-
ton of recent years to shaping the
mind of his future emperor. HIS ultie
is lord tutor. Under him is a corps
or learned and highly placed men,
nearly all of them men Of influence.
The crown prince lives by a daily
schedule quite Japanese in its SIM
plicity and severity. At six o'clock
every morning, summer and winter,
the imperial heir rises. His first wax
ing act is to make obeisance to the
east, in the direction of the palace IN
which his imperial parents live. he
then receives his attendants and at
tires himself, usually in a military uni
form. Breakfast comes next, a meal
in Occidental style, and after this ne
goes Immediately into his study ana
begins the daily grind on his EN-
peror's studies" His schedule rarely
varies. He breakfasts at 7:3O,
lunches at II :45, and dimes at DAD.
His bedtime hour would be as dis
tasteful to the American youth as the
Spartan six o'clock at which he rises,
for in summer Prince Hirohito turns
in at eight o'clock, just when the eve
ming Of the Occidental young blood IS
beginning, and in winter he calls 1t a
day Just half an hour caller, at 30.
The princes diet is half Oriental, half
Occidental.
The future empress Of Japan has
been selected. She is Princess
Nagaka. AS a child, according to the
romance with which popular report
has surrounded the future emperor,
the prince often met the Princess
Nagaka, whom he is to make his bride,
soon after his return to Japan. An
attachment is supposed to have start
ed in childhood, to which the crown
prince has held until now, although
for years he has not seen his future
consort. Two years ago the marriage
of this young couple of the blood i'm
nerial was arranged, and not since
that time, nor for some years before
have they met. In the fall of 1919 1t
was arranged for Prince Hirohito to
meet his intended at the home of hel
father, Prince Kuni, but before the
meeting could take place fire had de-
stroyed the new foreign-style house
/; which Prince Kuni had built in Tokyo
and the meeting was delayed. Now
the prospective bride and bridegroom
must wait until his grand tour is com
4 pleted. .....
/ Doubtless there are many bidder
stories revolving about this marriage
of state. Certain it is that there has
been opposition to it. One story il
that this visit to the Occident is. IL
fact for the purpose of breaking of
the engagement.
