The milk, which should be very

TASTY SALAD
SANDWICHES

GONE like their sandwiches
~ dainty-mere wisps Of paper
thin bread and delicate filling. And
some like them colossal-com-
posed of several layers Of bread
with meat or cheese, and often
both, between. Both groups unite
in praising the salad sandwich.
Its crisp and colorful qualities
appeal to the esthetic eater, and
its generosity and variety OF
flavors make it popular with those
of hearty appetite. Especially
when a salad sandwich Is toasted,
as 1t freqently is, does it univer-
sally appeal.
Salad sandwiches are also in the
good graces of the hostess and
home-maker. They may be so
designed that, with the addition of
a beverage, they rrovide a full
meal in themselves. Thus, when
the weather is warm, informal
luncheons or suppers can be moved
out-of-doors, and enjoyed on the
shady porch or in the garden.

MILK may or may not be an
U1 excellent food.
Milk, which in the country
means cows milk, was intended
for calves and not for babies, or
for more mature human beings.
There are lot of fallacies
about milk.
In the first place, milk is not
q liquid diet.
When the calf sucks milk from
the mother cow the milk goes
into the first stomach of the calf.
There it encounters an acid which
converts the casein into a very
solid material. Presently, the calf
being ruminant, lies down, brings
up the quid of casein, chews it,
and swallows it into the digestive
stomach.
The same process takes place
in the baby's stomach, only the
baby, not being ruminant, can't
bring up its quid, chew it, and
thus break up the solid chunk.
SO to make milk a decent food
for both babies and grownups,

foods or the stomach Is alkalin.

A NOVEL DOG
WHISTLE

IN Germany, dogs are employed
= extensively by the police, but
the problem arose how to call or
whistle for them without warning
a suspect being pursued. says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. A
solution was reached by testing
the dogs ears.
1t was found that they can de.
tect sounds above the audibility
limit Of the human organ. Patrol
men were therefore equipped with
whistles that produce notes totally
inaudible to the human ear but
which can be heard distinctly by
the dogs. A silent" signal sys-

did not move or try to stop her.

FRENCH FIGHT
POTASH SUIT
u. S. Seeking to Dissolve
Alleged Trust.

D 1WASHINGTON, June 3o.-What
is regarded by government officials
as one of the most important law
suits ever filed will be argued in
Federal Court at New York July IL
when the famous potash case comes
UP.
The suit was brought by the gov
eminent against French and Ger
man interests alleged to be violating
the Sherman antitrust and Wilson
tariff laws by establishing sales
agency to fix prices of this impor-
tant product in the United States.
Although denying the truth of the
allegations, the French defendants
have entered the plea that even if
correct the United States has no
authority, because part of the bust
ness belongs to the French govern
ment.
Ambassador Claudel declares
Frances interests in the business
are protected by the doctrine of
sovereign immunity" Government
officials say if this contention is
sustained the United States will be
powerless to deal with similar condi-
tons in the future.
Upwards of one million tons of
potash are imported annually and
more than go per cent of it is mined
by the French and German COM
panies involved.
