1.-THE law provides, and properly,
that no person not connected with a
cause may appear before the grand
jury. This is proper. because other
wise those pressing a weak cause
might seek to overawe a grand jury
by vast array Of counsel, or even
intimidate IL by the presence of
troops. Therefore the presence of
even one person not legally entitled
to appear before the grand jury
vitiates the entire proc eeding and
nullifies any indictment it may

MILK AND HEALTH

mo, my Johnnie never drinks milk (!
He doesn't care for it and I'm not the
kind of mother who insists upon her
child doing things he doesn't want to
do"
The placid. comfortable looking
woman rocked in the chair by the fire
and from time to time helped herself
to chocolates. She was at least twenty
pounds over weight and had two chins
and ripping layers of flesh on her
neck.
The woman who was bright-eyed
and a trifle angular, started to speak
but reconsidered. The discussion had
arisen over her own gentle insistence
that her small daughter. who had just
come in from school, should drink a
glass of milk instead of eating a slice
of fruit cake.
The child preferred the cake but had
taken the milk obediently.
The third woman in the room, who
was childless and fond of talking au-
thoritatively of child training. health
habits and proper feeding, twitched
colored silk nervously on her knitting
needles and said "Of course do think
every child should drink at least quart
of milk a day. My authority for that
statement is the word of an eminent
doctor who maintains that there would
be less illness and undernourishment
in the world today If every child and
every adult as well drank at least a
quart of milk a day."
Goodness, Gracious" cried the
plump mother. "A quart of milk day,
that sounds perfectly silly
There are great many children. in
| Central Europe today who would hot
be the emaciated little skeletons they
are if they had been able to have a
quart of milk day shuddered the
angular woman who had started to
speak before. when I think of the
children we saw in Eastern and Cen
trail Europe last summer, with their
skin tightly stretched over their bones
wan, gaunt, suffering from tubercu-
losis and heart disease-all j / need of
food and milk, it makes me feel guilty"
Children cannot thrive without
milk" insisted the childless woman"
There is no substitute for milk. 1t con-
tains the elements of body growth
necessary to health Milk has wonder.
full elements called vitamines which
supply the body with well-nigh per-
feet combination of principles essential
to body growth and tissue development.
Good teeth, strong bones, straight,
strong bodies and good health all de-
pend upon a proper amount of lime,
mineral salts, carbohydrates, proteins
and water. We find them all in milk"
81 would like to know just what, ex-
actly, these things called vitamines
are" said the stout woman.
Scientists differ" said the bright.
eyed mother. 'as to what vitamines
really are but they agree that they con-
stitute food principles necessary to
maintain proper growth and develop
ment. OF course. the butter fat in
milk is very important. That is why
milk that children drink should never
be skinned
Pure milk in generous quantities is
one of the best foods for the growing
child. supplemented with leafy green
vegetables, well cooked cereals, fresh
! fruit and good bread"

Greatness OF MOOseheart
Mooseheart is not only the pride of
every Moose but the object of admira-
ton of the entire world. Educators have
proclaimed it to be not only a unique
but a perfect system of education.
The great Moose Motto is Every
child is entitled to at least a high
school education and a trade"
This principle is carried out in prac.
tice at Mooseheart, where more than
LOO children from every part of the
United States are gathered, and there
are being trained both in mind and
body.
Inc striking difference between the
Moses Mooseheart and other institu-
tons of similar nature is, the children
at Mooseheart know and are taught that
they are there because they have a
right to be there, and that they are
not objects of charity, but free in
dependent children receiving a privilege
provided for them by their fathers and
paid for.
Among the local Philanthropists who
have visited Mooseheart and who have
sung her praises are DIR. George Stuart
and DR.. ]. NJ. Broadly, DIR. J. A. Bryan,
the beloved pastor, is a life member
of the local lodge.

Large groups of "crofters' or small
farmers, emigrating from the Hebri-
des because they assert the climate
there has changed, bringing about
crop failures, draw attention to these
islands off the west shore of Scot
land
Life in the Hebrides whether be-
cause of climatic or social conditions,
has always been rather hard" says
bulletin in regard to the islands from
the headquarters here of the National
Geographic Society. This part OF
Scotland is bleak. cool, and very
moist Vegetation does not grow lux
uriantly, and <he annual tempera-
ture has only a few degrees to fall
in order that the danger point be
reached. TurnipS and potatoes are
the chief standbys among the vege-
tables, while barley and oats grow
fairly well. Pasturage is good, and
stock raising is really the industry
best adapted to the islands; but this
fact is of small value TO the croft
ers' or small farmers. The cattle are
raised. rather, on large estates.
Crop Failures Frequent.
Time after time there have been
crop 1allureS winch. nave put a large
part of the population on the verge of
starvation. On such occasions num-
bers Of the crofters and cotters have
gone to Australia or America Some
observers are pessimistic enough to
see a time when all the small farmers
and cottage dweliers will desert the
Islands, leaving them in the hands of
large estate owners and seaside vii
lage fisherfolk.
The Hebrides are not a small group
of islands like the Shetlands and
Orkneys. 1t is hard, in fact, to con-
slider them apart from the mainland.
The larger members of the inner Heb
rides are separated from Scotland
proper by such narrow channels that
only close inspection of the map
shows them not to be a part of the
mainland. The outer Hebrides even
are only twelve miles off the coast. In
spite of This proximity, however, the
isles are Somewhat isolated, and their
inhabitants have clung to customs
long since dropped by their kinsmen
on the mainland. Rude old stone
, structures, religious symbols of a
pre- Christian era, abound: and until

islanders conducted certain cere-
monies about them.
Iona. one Of the smaller of the in
ner Hebrides. was the Blessed Isle or
Islands. St Columbia, noted Irish
missionary, made 1t the center of
Celtic Christianity, position when
, was made even stronger after ms
death. From there missionaries Went
out to convert Scotland and northern
England to Christianity. Kings We're
brought to be buried in the soil of the
sacred island. The Importance or
Iona was ended, however, by the
Danes, who swept down about the
beginning of the ninth century and
seized the Hebrides from the Scotch.
The islands were not returned 70
Scotland's overlordship. until lzZo.
Later the Hebrides again had a sort
| of independence when line or po" :
erfuI Scotch noblemen set themselves
up as Lords of the Isles.
One Hundred Islands Inhabited.
More than 500 islands make up
the Hebrides group, but only about
| 100 are inhabited. When the semi
| feudalistic regime was ended In the
islands in 174S many crofters were
| driven off the estates, the standard
of living dropped very low and large
numbers of people were barely able
| to keep alive. When. in 1884, famine
drew attention to the hard lot of the
people on many of the islands a
relief commission was formed by the
British government and certain re-
| forms brought about. But even to-
day on Lewis With Harris, the largest
| island, many of the people live under
most primitive conditions in little
stone huts rooted with turf and
shared with animals and poultry.
! Danish blood is evident in some
of the islands and a large proper
| ton of the people speak Gaelic.
| Climatic conditions not only limit
the vegetation, but have affected the
animals of the islands, stunting
them somewhat. There are small
| breeds of horses, cows and sheep.
| The variety, too, is small, especially
among the mammals On st. Kilda,
! outermost of the outher Hebrides. a
mouse is the only indigenous man.
