for using only the butter fat in milk
than there would be in eating only
the fat in beef.
The Department Of Agriculture
states in a recent bulletin that the

protein value to all the beef con-
sumed by the country in year.
1t contains all the bodybuilding

Only the fat has been removed.
The Government has long urged
farmers to market their skinned
milk as human food. either in the
form Of buttermilk and cottage

form. Science has came to the front
in discovering a way of combining
SKINNED milk with the fat of the

A MAINE HERON STORY
Predicament Of Bird Caught by Snake
on River Bank.

The plight of the young Heron in
the Bedtime Stories has reminded
a Bath man Of the plight of a heron
he found being crushed by a snake
some years ago.
The big freshet of 1896. that car
ried away so many mills and bridg-
es, he says, left quantities of wreck
age along the shores of the Andro-
scoggin up river, so his son thought
he might build a camp from some

they were towing some sticks of tim

ticed a heron on the bank that could
use only the right wing. They went
ashore to Investigate. The bird had
it's head stuck into some brush.
Herons are rather ferocious custom
ers. so they tied the birds legs and
wings as a preca ution. When they
pulled him out of the brush they
found a large snake coiled several
times about the birds neck and
wound about the left wing in such
way that the bird was helpless. Its
head was tucked in under the bound
wing. The snake seemed wise
enough to know that the bird could
not fly if his wings were not free.
The father took the small blade of
his knife and severed the snake, as
one ships cord, inserting it with
the back to the birds neck.
When they came to examine, the
heron they found a place beneath
the wing about the size of quarter,
all white and parboiled They de-
cided that the bird had attempted
to make a meal of the snake to his
sorrow and that the reptile was
sucking the birds blood. The
feathers were off the birds neck and
it was raw. They put the heron in
box. but he was so ugly he would
neither eat nor drink and they had
to let him 60 1t struck the Stats

Feet not Focl.Proof

The human foot is one Of the most
beautiful and useful instruments
ever conceived. but, unfortunately. it
is not what a motorist calls fool
proof"
There is a great deal of misunder-
standing about our feet. We treat
them outrageously, as either custom
or fashion may dictate. AS result,
about one-third Of the population is
splay footed, another third walks
like hen on hot cinders, and the re-
naming third may be said to walk
fAiriy naturally.
The foot has graceful arch run
ming fore and aft We take this
longitudinal arch. turn the toes out
ward so that the heels meet at an
gle of forty-five degrees. and then,
put all our pressure in a skew direc-
ton across the arch. No railway
engineer would dream of building a
straight arch bridge to carry loads
neither across nor along the arch but
irregularly askew over it.
We ought to walk, with our great
toe pointed straight in the direction
Of progress, as Indian runners do,
and spring from the great toe" In
stead, most of us take off, in lum-
bering sort of way from the ball of
the great toe.
: The arch of the foot is supported
largely by the tendon which runs I'M
der the foor to the great toe itself
and this neglect of use renders this
tendon weak and lax, and causes de-
preston of the arch. The best cure
for q weak arch is the practice of
raising one's-self upon the great toe,
that il doing as a penalty exercise
what you should have done all along
naturally. If you will try when
walking to keep the feet straight, and
to end each stride with little
spring" off each big toe alternately.
you will be rewarded by finding that
progress seems easier, quicker. and
more bouyant.-London Daily News.

Great Saving in Phosphate Possible
by New Process.

The United States owns the rich
est and most extensive phosphate
fields in the world. Heretofore heavy
annual wastes of valuable phosphate
material have occurred during the
mining and manufacturing process
es. A new method Of controlling
these losses devised by the United
States Department of Agriculture
consists in mixing the "run-o mine"
phosphate with sand and coke and
smelling the mass in an electric OF
fuel-fed furnace. In this process, the
phosphoric acid is driven off as a
fume and may be readily collected in
concentrated form Millions of tons
of phosphates previously wasted will
be saved potentially as result of the
perfection of this new reclamation
system.
