Goats and CotD's MIR

In taste goats milk is like rich
cows milk, except that 1t is some
what whittier and trifie sweeter. The
uninitiated would not be able to dis
tinguish 1t from cows milk either by
taste or odor. 1t is slightly more Wis
cous than cows milk, the consistency
being smooth like first-run cream. Over
5000 goats are used by various gov.
eminent hospitals for milk-producing
purposes. tuberculosis sanatoriums
especially use large amounts Of goats
milk. Experts declare that 1t Is
good body builder for patients suffer-
ing from wasting diseases such as tu-
berculosis. Goats milk being algaline
In Its reaction, the same as human
milk, is about the best substitute for
mothers milk for babies. The curd
of goats milk, being tender and fiaky,
Is digested in the shortest possible
time. 1t is pure and wholesome and
can safely be taken in a raw state.
Goats are considered immune from
tuberculosis, so their milk needs no
pasteurizing, and runs no danger of
losing any of its vitamines or having |
any Of Its lime salts altered by the
application of heat.

that the road was In bad repair The
magistrate finally reached the farmer,
who lived near the scene.

Husky Individuals in

In an old London inn known as th,

cas- found pair of scales on which
during a century and half man,
notable men were weighed. Eyel
since the year 1765 records of illus
trious and also of regal ponderosity
have been kept at the place, which Il
in st. James street. If you want to
know how much Charles Lamb
weighed In 1914, writes Mr. Lucas in
the Romance of Old London" can
tell you that when he was thirty-nine
years old he turned the scale In his
boots at one hundred and twenty-nine
pounds, much more than was expect
ing. But his boots may have been
heavy.
discovered that Lord Byron, who
we know was sensitive about his bulk.
was weighed many times, first In 1906,
when he was living at No. 8, only five
doors away; then he weighed one hum
dred and ninety-four pounds In his
boots. The realization must have dis
lressed exceedingly one who lived In
fear of embonpoint even to the ex-
IRENE of drinking vinegar and gener-
ally Notifying the flesh. In 1911 In
shoes only-he had got his weight
down to one hundred and thirty-seven
and half pounds. Tom Moore seems
similarly to have decreased, for In
1907 he was one hundred and forty
six pounds and In 1909 one hundred
and twenty-five.
Another famous man, one who also
could have had no wish to lose his
figure and who will go down in history
as much for his insolent question as
to the Identity of the prince regent
who's your fat friend pas for his
fastidiousness in ties, was Beau Brum-
nell. In 1898 Brummell stood at one
hundred and seventy-two pounds In
boots, In 1911 at one hundred and
ninety-two pounds In boots and frock,
and In 1915 at one hundred and sew
enty-eight pounds in shoes. In 1915
the Beau had to fly from his credi-
tors to Calais. None the less there
is still one more entry, In 1922, sug-
costing that he was able to visit the
scenes of his old triumphs again; and
then he was one hundred and fifty
three pounds In boots.
AS for the "fat friend" later George
Nv. he evidently earned the epithet.
In 1871 he weighed two hundred and
forty-two pounds in boots. in 1913 two
and twenty-four pounds "af-
ter govt" In 1900 two hundred and
forty-seven pounds in hat and boots,
and later that year two hundred and
pounds "after govt" In
1903 with govt" he weighed two hum
bred and eighteen pounds.
