cows milk is high in protein and low

by THE COUNSELLOR.

The police, on the lookout for the
perpetrators of a recent robbery, ar
rested Slim Cook, whom they found
lettering in the vicinity a few days
after the robbery.
Slim Cook, although he had bad
record, was innocent of the crime he
was charged with, as he had been in
another part of the city at the time of
the robbery.
When the State had finished it's case
Cook testified of his presence else
where at the time. His story rang
true, but he had no witnesses to sub
Stantiate his story.
AS result of the lack of corrobora-
ton, the prosecuting attorney asked
the court to instruct the jury that the
burden was on Cook to prove his alibi
beyond a reasonable doubt, and as he
obviously had not succeeded in doing
so, his testimony should be disregard
ed The court so instructed the jury.
and as a result Cook was found guilty.
Counsel for Cook objected to the
instruction and took an appeal. The
higher court reversed the conviction
and laid down the following principle,
which has been universally followed:
The defense of an alibi is as legiti-
mate and effectual as any other. and
should be allowed to be considered by
the jury. If it's effect then is to create
a reasonable doubt in the minds of the
jury of the accused's guilt, he is as
much entitled to an acquittal as if a
reasonable doubt as to his guilt had
been created by any other legitimate
evidence"

Mrs. Max acted strangely. She

Grouse. But each time that he had
thought he had one of them they had
escaped.
1t had come to be now that Mr. and
Mrs. Grouse seldom took to their stout
wings. They remained on the ground,
running from one hiding place to an
other. Terror wanted them in the air.
Swift as are their wings, his wings are
swifter. Now that they had taken to
skulking from cover to cover, seldom
even going up in a tree, Terror was
having more difficulty. IF only he
could make them fly his chances would
be much better.
he was thinking of this as he glared
down at a certain big hemlock bough,
under which he knew that Mr.. and
Mrs. Grouse were hiding. 1t was of no
use for him to hurl himself down at
that bough. He knew that. He knew,
too, that they knew that he was
watching them. He knew that this
meant that they would remain right
where they were for the REM .,iar Of
the day if necessary. If onlj Iteddy
Fox would come along, he would drive
them out. And then a sudden thought
popped right into Terror's head.
"Why shouldn't / drive them out
MYSELF" he muttered. II will, I'll
make them get out from under that
bough and then, perhaps. I'll have
chance to catch one Of Them
1t was then that Terror glided down
to the snow. landing close beside that
bough under which Mr.. and Mrs.
Grouse were hiding. He would simply
walk right in under there and either
catch them there or make them fly.
At least, that was what he planned.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
The Law of Happiness.

Text: He that keepeth the law,
happy is he. Prov. xxix.1S.
There is law governing happiness.
just as there are laws governing ev-
erything else. You cannot dream
yourself into being happy. You can
not by any sort of self-hypnotism
make yourself happy Happiness is
not something that is given to us.
God gives us the raw material from
which it can be made, but we have
to take this material and make our
made according to certain very def
mite laws
1t is a mistake to associate happi-
ness with wealth, fame. position or
power. Nothing outside of us can
make us happy. Happiness comes
from within If we are right inside,
nothing outside matters so very much.
Happiness does not require ideal con-
ditions where we are free from all
pain, sorrow, failure and the priva-
lions of poverty
There are some things that make
happiness mpossible-such things as
malice, envy, jealousy, suspicion and
selfishness. These things must be
cast out. Happiness will not live in
the same heart with this unholy
brood.
Right thinking followed by right
living-that is the primary essential
to real happiness The next thing is
faithfulness to duty and unselfish
service to others. The more happi-
ness we make for others the more we
make for ourselves. We do not get
happiness by seeking it directly. He
who lives the best and serves the
most is the one to whom happiness
comes in the fullest measure.

Real Gems as Hat Ornaments
BY MARY MARSHALL.

brooches on their hats that CLEAN
and sparkle with the unmistakable
fire of real gems. In the meantime.
however, a good type of strass or
paste ornament is in perfectly good
form.
| know of some women who have
given up wearing imitation jewels of
any sort. Not having diamond hat
ornaments they content themselves
with cut-out silver or mother-ofpearl.
In fact, mother-of-pearl is decidedly
smart at the present time, and one
of the smartest of new hats is a soft,
closely draped shape of soleil velours
with a dagger shaped ornament of
mother-of-pearl not thrust in at the
front, but high at the back-so that
from a front view it is not to be seen
at all At least this arrangement has
the advantage of novelty.
Meanwhile rhinestone hat ornaments
are still much in evidence and they
are to be seen in all sorts of quaint
and amusing shapes. One little orna-
ment represented a basket with the
top partly open and from it protuding
the head and long neck of a goose.
To suit other fancies there are lizards,
cats, dogs, horses, Pierrots, beetles
and birds of all descriptions. One
unusual little hat ornament consists
of an deliberately jeweled swan-iIke
bird with bits of real plumage inserted
for the wings.
Shocking is a sort of trimming that
is never seen on the really cheap sort
of frock. It gives a tone of distinction
to the clothes it adorns. If you would
like to learn how to smock-and sure
ly YOU ought to learn the trick-since
it has come back into fashion, just

envelope and l will send you explicit

There were FIVE little lads, all about
the same age. playing together on the
lawns that lay between the pretty new
houses. Each little lad was armed
with a stick as big as he could Wen
carry. This was his gun. Everybody
was an enemy and had to be shot by
everybody else. The shrubbery made
a fine forest for such wee fighters ana
the battle waXed warm.
Now you. Hugo, fall down. COM
manded Max. Fall down. l shot you.
You must fall down"
81 won't fall down. You didn't
shoot me. 1 shot you. You must ran
down."
Fall down." screamed Hugo, red in
the face and trembling with excite
ment. Fall down. Bang, bang, shot
you"
"Bang, bang, 1 shot you. You must
fall down."
By this time the five friendly enc
mics were banging away at each other
loudly and commanding each other to
fall down dead. Nobody wanted TO fail
down dead any more, because he
couldn't be shooting when he was dead,
and shooting, Bang. bang" was the
high fun of the game.
Hugo. always eXcitable, now lost all
control of himself and charged on
Max with the fiat of his gun" and
felled him with smashing blow on
the head. This time Max lay dead
enough to satisfy even the battle-mad
Hugo.
Come on, get up now. You needn't
be dead any more" said he. half fear
full. Max was lying a bit too still to
be real fun. Hugo was uneasy; so
were the others.
