The fiat roof. which Is so desirable

there Is little dew and no trouble

into northern location, though some
have heard the idea expressed that
such roof proves economical in
fuel consumption in the northern eli

tory, through all these years there has
been no let-up in the number of books,
magazine and newspaper articles and
stray bits of information which have
been presented to public, apparently
always eager for more light upon the
personality and career of this simple
Illinois backwoodsman who rose to a
position of world Importance. In fact
the mass of new information about
Lincoln seems to grow instead of di-
minish as time passes and, II 1925 Is
any criterion, the year 1927 will see
an even greater amount Of Lincolniana
added to our national history.
In the past few years iconoelasts
have been busy turning the search

the professed desire to tell the whole
truths" which will show that they
were much less great than popular
opinion has believed them to have
been. Through all this idol-shattering.
the great figure of Lincoln has stood
virtually untouched, the stature of his
greatness undiminished. Apparently
any new truths about him which
may be revealed by the historians can
not change In the least, either. the YER
dict of history upon him Least of
all can they change the love for him
OF the common people, whom, as he
once said, "the Lord must love, be-
cause he made so many Of them"
The accessories to the Linc0lniana
of 1925 proved again that the amount
of new material, in the sense that 1t
is not widely known. about him is
seemingly inexhaustible Outstanding
among them, perhaps, were Carl Sand

Lincoln: the Prairie Years." and the
publication Of the further researches
of the indefatigable Rev. William e.
Barton. whose two-volume life of
Abraham Lincoln" of 1925 was his
third important contribution to fresh
Biographical material. Incidentally, II
might be added that one photography
OF Lincoln material lists some $3.50
books and pamphlets!
Sandburg's biography, which Is
wholly devoted to showing Lincoln In
his times before he went to the White
House, is perhaps as Understanding

The above IittIe-known portrait OF
Lincoln is from sketch made by
Freeman Thorp in 1861 and shows LIN
coin at the age of fifty-two. This is
said to be the only portrait Of the war
President drawn entirely from life.
Years after Lincoln died, Thorp, who
was the painter of four Presidents,
studied the existing pictures Of LIN
coin, but found none SO true to life
as his penciled sketch. With his vivid
memory Of the President as he had
known him in 1861 he painted the
above portrait.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS EJSUBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and Of lily
 gcia, the Health Magazine

About one-fifth of the food budget Of the average American family is used for milk and milk products.
 Campaigns to increase milk con sumption have had their effect. They have been warranted, because children are better n0urishcd if an abundance of good milk is included in their daily diet, Milk has been called the perfect food because it contains most of the essential elc- ments 10 normal growth.
 However, even milk is not m ab- solutely perfect food. and must be supplemented with other materia Is because there is deficiency in some of the vitamins It Is so con- plotely digested that 1t is efficient, but it does not provide bulk, which is necessary 10 allow proper action of the intestinal tract.
 As has been pointed out in pre- vious articles in this series. a proper diet contains proteins, car bohydrates, fats minerals salts, and the various vitamins, Milk is well supplied with protein, indeed so well that there is no other animal protein of known value that is pro- curahle so cheeply as the proteins of milk
 As q source of fuel for the body it compares favorably with other foods, since il has been estimated that the energy value of q quart Of milk is about equivalent to that of q pound of lean meat or of eight eggs. It is one Of the best foods for supplying calcium, 2 substance necessary for the growth of the bones. One quart of milk will fur nish as much calcium as ten large oranges. thirty-two eggs, or ten large helpings of spinach.
 Milk is. however, low in iron content and that mineral is better supplied by the green leafy vege- tables or egg yolk, also by liver and kidneys am ong the meats.
 l. was once thought that all milk contained plenty Of the various ytamins, but it is now known that milk specimens vary, depending upon the way the COWS are fed and >;he amount of sunshine that they receive.
 Milk from pasture fed cows in tho summer is rich in Nltam!n A, fair in vitamn B, good in vitamin C. and probably poor In vitamin D: Milk from COWS stall fed in the winter is not nearly SO rich in vita mins A. R and C. and probably very poor in Nitamin D, the rickets pre- venting vitamin. Milk also varies in vitamin content according to whether or not 1t has been pasteur- ized, boiled dried. or otherwise treated 10 change it's nature.
 The American diet is largely made up of white bread, meat, pota- toes and sugar. In order to make this diet adequate there should be more milk. more green vegetables and more fruit juices. These will supply vitamins> and the mineral salts.
