Milk Is a Perfect Food

There is no substitute for it. Save
on other things if you must, but do not
stint yourself or your family, particu-
larly your children, where milk is con-
cerned.
A meal of milk contains the same
nourishment as a meal made up of
meat and eggs, sugar and cereals, oils
and fats, with salt and water.
Milk contains the fuel needed by the
body. 1t contains the lime so essen
tial to building bone. Children must
have milk-adults should have at least
half pint a day.
But in milk there may lurk dirt, dis
ease and death. You cannot tell good
milk from bad milk-and there are
only these two kinds-by looking at it.
by tasting it or smelling it. But you
can learn to protect your family by
securing the new free booklet, "All
About Milk
Our Washington Information Bureau
will send a copy of this booklet free
to any one who fills out and mails the

cents in stamps for return postage

SAY AMERICAN PLOT
CHARGE RIDICULOUS

RIGA, Sept. american authori-
ties here declare that the charge
made in Moscow by Nickolai Lenine
that the American intelligence serv-
ice participated in an alleged plot TO
assassinate Russian communist lead
ers is ridiculous.
They say that the announcement of
the plot, together with an evident
campaign on the part of the bolshevik
press TO connect all outside ia mine re-
lief measures with political aims, has
created some apprehension. The work
of the American relief administration
in Russia might be affected by the
situation, it is declared.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
Moscow soviet, during the season at
which the alleged plot was discussed,
adopted a resolution expressing sat
isfaction over the agreement reached
with the American relief administra-
ton and another with the German
Red Cross.

MAY BAR PROSECUTION
OF WARTIME FRAUDS
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Criminal
prosecution of several war contract
fraud cases by the federal government
may be barred by the statute of limi-
tations, it was said today at the de-
partment of justice.
The federal criminal statute, Off
cials explained, runs for three years
after the commission of an overt act
in the case of a conspiracy to defraud
the government, and many of the war
contracts were completed before the
armistice on Nov IL, 1918.
AS part of the departments In
vestigation of all government war con-
tracts for evidence of unfair dealing,
officials said, each case is being care,
fully examined in the light of the
statute of limitations.
| If a contract was completed more
| than three years ago they added, but
! the conspiracy under it did not develop
until later date, there would be nc
/ bar to prosecution if the evidence was
| found to warrant it To remedy the
situation generally officials said con
gress has been asked to extend the
! limit of the federal statute to six
years.
| The federal statute however, applied
only to criminal case and does not
affect civil suits for recovery by the
/ government These cases, it was eX
planned, are governed by the different
state statutes which generally put the
limitation at about six years.

ROADS BUILT UNDER
COUNTY UNIT LAW
TAKE SPECIAL LEVY
(Bv Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Roads
built under the county unit high way
law must be paid for by a special tax
levy and their cost of construction is
not to be considered as a part of a
county's Indebtedness according to an
opinion given today by Attorney Gen
eral Lesh to the state tax board
The attorney general held that the
law enacted in 1919 and under which
many roads have been built through
out the state created a new taxing
unit.
Funds for county unit roads accord
ing to the opinion may be raised by
tax up to the amount of the constitu-
tional or legal debt limit which was
not stated in the opinion and with un-
official opinions varying, whether the
limit would be two or four percent on
a county's taxables.
