The substitute milk lacks the vita
mines considered necessary to human
sustenance, and Ii is on this ground
that prohibition by Congress has been
sought. Feeding children on milk from
which all the butter fat has been ex-
tracted may result in Pellagra and
kindred diseases, Mr.. Milburn said.

Retail grocers sell the substitute

milk containing butter fat and often
at the same price, according to Mr..
Milburn, although the cost of manu-
facture is S1.70 a hundred pounds,

said Mr.. Milburn. with cocoanut,
peanut and cottonseed oils competing
with butter fat there is bound to be a

The milk supply rises and falls with
the price obtained for the article. The
butter fat replaced by foreign oils and
fats creates a surplus to be used in
other products, such as full cream but

public nay see in this a benefit, but II

Madison Ave-, New York City. Her
message reads:
deeply touched your great kind
ness towards Greek war sufferers In
Straits Area and Asia Minor. Thank
you all most sincerely.
At the same time, the Greek queen
sent her check to DIR. Barton, Chair
man of the Near East Relief Commit
tee, for 1000 francs as a contribu-
ton to what she termed the "beauti-
full work" of feeding, clothing and
housing the more than 10000 little
children who have come under the
care of the Near East Relief during
the past year.
Besides Queen Sophie, Admit al P,
Coundouriotis, of the Royal Hellenic
Navy. who was regent. of Greece fol-
lowing the death of the late King
Alexander, on October 20, last, has
also cabled to express the gratitude
of the Greek people for the aid fur
nished the Christian populations of
Turkey by the Near East Relief.
More than 1920, 100000 was raised
among the Greeks of the United
States, in two weeks, and sent to. the
Near East by the Near East Relief,
to be used in helping the widows and
orphans rendered destitute by the
continuation of disturbed conditions
in the former Ottoman Empire. The
funds of the Near East Relief are
gathered by private subscription not
only among Americans, but among
the Armenians and Greeks in the
United States, whose countrymen In
Turkey and Tr-anscaucasia have been
through indescribable suffering.
In an official report to Charles v.
Vickrey, General Secretary of the
Near East Relief, Miss Glee Hastings,
of Spencer, Iowa, describes the pitt
able condition of tens of thousands
of homeless, starving. h~alf-naked
refugees, driven from their homes In
the war area, and huddled in stables
and out-houses, or ON the bare
ground, for lack of shelter.
Most of the refugees r country
people with almost nothing except
the clothes on their backs, stupefied
and dazed by their misfortunes.
Bread is given only to women and
children at the rate of one-half loaf
for a person, each day. The milk Is
reserved for the babies and sick. The
refugees sit around, huddled up
against the walls-women with dull,
sad faces, little children that are blue
and pinched with the cold, and too
miserably lifeless to cry. One family
of five sleeps at night On a bare stone
floor, under one thin, ragged half
cotton blanket. In one room several
are wasting away with tuber-
culosis; in another are some severe
eye cases, including two young blind
girls, who have no one in the world
to care for them. The overflow from
these buildings live in a wooden shed
with the walls and floors gaping with
holes where the wood has rotted
away and in tents improvised from
rags and pieces of carpet"
A nationwide appeal Is being
made to carry on this work, checks
to be sent to Cleveland H. Dodge,

A Sure Thinu.

Two miners boosted of the speed OF
their respective dogs, and, in TO
test the matter, a match to race them
was arranged.
The bet was ten dollars, but on the
day of the contest N of the miners
went to the other and asked II the
race could be called off, agreeing to
pay two dollars forfeit.
The other readily agreed, and the
race was abandoned, much to the in
dignation of the supporters of the man
who had backed out.
Didn't you know the other dog had
gone lame?" cried one of them.
Eyes, l did, replied the miner. but
he'd have won, all the same. Ny dog

DR.. McCollum says a satisfactory
diet cannot be made out of cereals
peas and beans, potatoes, fieshy roots
and muscle meats, of which Americans
are so fond.
1--WE should take at least a quart of

our meat consumption to approximate

MAMMA IN THE HOLY LAND
Still Continues to Fall, as 1t Did
When 1t Nourshed the Chill
dren of Israel.

The biblical story of the feeding of
the children of Israel upon mamma
from heaven during their wandering
IN the wilderness on the way to the
land of Canaan does not record a mir
acIe, according to the American con-
sui at Jerusalem. In an official report
TO the government the consul states
that mamma is found now in the re-
gions of Upper MeSopOtamia and
kurdistan, and along the Persian
frontier. 1t falls, he says, in the form
of dew during September, October and
November and lodges upon the leaves
of oak trees. 1t Immediately hardens
and assumes the form of a grain
Early in the morning, before the
heat of the day, it is gathered by
spreading sheets beneath the trees,
which are shaken. and the mama is
then collected and stored for winter
to be used as a food, or shipped to
Bagdad for sale in the bazaar.
The mamma falls on other vegeta-
bles, including grass, but all of it is
lost except that which is gathered
from the oak leaves. The mama is
sweet, and is eaten by the natives as
substitute for sugar or honey. The
consul says it is highly priced for its
aromatic flavor.

Snake-Charmer's Secret.

How does the snake-charmer charmY
asks a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly. That's one of the questions
we've always asked ourselves. And
now an English doctor tells us one
of the secrets.
Take the case Of the cobra for
instance. 1t is very venomous snake.
yet the snake-charmer is not harmed
when bitten by one.
The secret lies in the fact that the
charmer "milkS" the cobra before he
allows himself to be bitten. He makes
the cobra bite into a piece of meat,
thereby eXpelling two thirds of the
poison in it's poison gland. When the
charmer allows the snake to bite him
Immediately thereafter. there is not
enough poison left in the gland to do.
any harm.
What is the next step? The charmer
makes the snake bite a fowl while he
squeeZes the remaining drops Of
poison out of the snakes gland the
fowl dies, and the charmer wins the,
confidence of his audience.

afternoon while Mr.. and Mrs. Lowell
Swenson of Pullman, with some
friends, were enjoying a motor boat
ride in the 'Wanderer," a lighted
match ignited the gasoline which
had been spilled in the boat and in
a moment the interior was a mass of

unable to swim. Their cries for
help were heard by campers on the

eXtinguished by pouring water into
the boat, but spectators on the beach
feared that the gasoline tank would
blow up before the flames could be
quenched.
