Coats and Cow's MiIk

In taste goats milk is like rich
cows milk, except that it is some
what whittier and tTifle sweeter. The
uninitiated would not be able 90 dis
tinguish it from cows milk either by
taste or OdOr. It is slightly more Wis
cOus than cows milk, the consistency
being smooth like first-run cream. Over
5000 goats are used by various gov
ernment hospitals for milk-producing
purposes. tuberculosis sanatOriums
especially use large amounts Of goats
milk. Experts declare that it is a
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 flakyr
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 nc
pasteurizing, and runs no danger OF
losing any of it's vltamines or having
any of its lime salts altered by the
application of heat.

Busy Ant by No Means
a Nuisance in Burma

Most people regard ants as a nui-
sance, especially in a garden or at a
picnic, but the natives Of Burma have
found a use for them.
This country grows and exports
sandal-wood, one of the most valuable
and beautiful timbers in the world.
The greater part of every tree felled
is useless, however. for only the
fragrant scented heart has any COM
mercial value. and to transport the
whole log would make even that not
worth the cost of removal.
SO the trees. after being stripped of
their branches, are allowed to lie
where they have fallen. The soft
sappy wood, which is useless in COM
merce, attracts the billions of ants
who infest the forest, and to whom II
is tit-blt. In helping themselves the
ants help the sandal-wOOd merchant
for they leave the hard heart of the
trunk stripped of all its worthless in
tegument. and thus do for nothing thC
work of many human labOrers.

Most Dangerous Be Came

AS fierce as the tiger and more ferO-
cious than the lion, the African ele-
phant is known by many big-game
hunters as the most dangerous of wild
animals. Although Its Indian cousin
has been a servant of man for thou
sands of years and delights crowds at
circuses throughout the countries
where carnivals are popular, there is
not a single recorded instance of the
African elephant being tanned. A
training camp was established in Con
go several years ago in the hope OF
teaching them to work, but the at.
tempt failed. The African elephant
sometimes bulks thrice as big as most
Aslatic specimens seen at a circus, ac-
cOrdlng to hunters. Their intelligence
and cunning are amazing. They also
possess a keen sense Of smell, being
able TO detect the presence Of a mar
at least 1000 yards away. At tbs
crash Of p gun. they stampede, fadlnl
almost nolselessly, In spite Of theil
huge bulk, into the jungle grasses

There had been a motor car accident
resulting in injury to the driver and
two passengers. The magistrate con-

summoned several witnesses, among
them a farmer living near the scene
of the accident. There was a great
deal of testimony offered regarding
the high speed at which the car had
Travelled. Witnesses, moreover. said
that the road was in bad repair. The
magistrate finally reached the farmer,
who lived near the scene.
"What would you say about this ac-
cident, Mr.. Gatley?" he asked.
"Well, ef l was writin' the drivers
