WHY THEY USE MILK

A survey just completed in Phiia-

sumption of milk per family is FOG
pints. A large percentage of chill
dren under the age of three drink
milk, the survey showed, but with
advancing age this percentage is
steadily reduced. People who drink
milk apparently do so because it is
a pleasing beverage rather than be-
cause it has a great food value, the
investigation revealed.

Are Held Under Observation.
London-The British authorities in
Cairo have taken into their own hands
drastic measures to suppress possible
nationalistic plottings by the arrest
Of four prominent members of the
party organizations headed by former
Premier Zagloul Pasha.
Those arrested were Nekrashy Bey,
a secretary in the ministry of the in
terror in Zaglouls cabinet; Abdul
Rahman FANNY, one of Zaglouls
closest political assistants; William
Makram Obeld, a prominent coptic
member of the Nationalist delegation,
and Barakat Pasha, who was Tag
louis minister Of the interior.
According to statements in official
quarters in London the men arrested
were leaders in an underground con-
spiracy against British interests,
which probably was partly responsible
for the murder of Sirdar Stack and
which might, If left unhampered in
its activities, result in further unfor-
tunate incidents.

In q. statement issued from demo-

Cordell Hull. chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, says, in
part:
'It Is not unfair to say that the
utterly belated tax message OF Presi-
dent Coolidge on yesterday is in
harmony with his past record Of de-
lay when confronted either by an
important problem or by an emer-
gency situation. The President knew
virtually as much about the condition
Of the Treasury on last December
rs he knows now.
Despite this fact, he deliberately
delays every utterance and action
looking toward reduction of taxes
for 1923 by joint re1olution of Con
gress until the past day or two
when it is impossible, for lack of
time, to enact into law a separate
joint resolution cutting down taxes
for 1923 so that taxpayers may have
the benefit of the same in making
their returns due on March Is. Obvi-
ously. therefore. the only effect the
Pre- idents belated proposal can have
is to make political capital for him

DECLARES CHRISTIAN
RELIGION IS SIMPLE
Rev. Charles Wood Speaks at Mid
day Lenten Service at
Keith's Theater.

The Christian religion is a simple
one,' declared the Rev. DIR. Charles
Wood Of the Church Of the Covenant,
speaker at today's mid-Lenten serv-
ice at Keith's Theater.
THE apostle Paul speaks OF it in
the second letter to the Corinthians
when he refers to that simplicity
that is in Christ"
Paul removed the veil from in
front of the face of God. The peo-
pie of his time saw God as a terrible,
/ a wrathful being. Paul pointed out
to them that God was loving father,
thinking of his children as they, the
, people, thought Of theirs. He showed
them-and can show us-that all we
need is to give Christ the place in
our hearts occupied by self.
Then the riddle of life is explained ID
for us; then we really have the
Christian religion. True, a great
church grew up to explain that which
was already simple, to administer
that which needed no administration,
and sometimes the church grows 80
big and SO complex that the Chris
tianity seems left out. But il we
take Christ in our hearts we are al
ready of His church.
