muddy tides. All Of these human
beings have passed serenely
through a stormy night, over n
troubled sea- And they were able
to do it because there was part
of them into which the storm and
trouble did not enter.
This does not mean that they
went selfishly, unmindful of the
common risk, immune from com.
mon temptation. They were in
the center of the storm-they
faced the confusion which all men
must face. But there was a part
of them that was untouched by
fear or desire or conceit. And
because of that serenity within
them they were able to lift them
selves above the fury and the fog.
You, too, can cross the troubled
waters if you will. You can stand
ANYTHING in life if you will keep q
little part OF your spirit inviolate
from the dark tides which menace
within and without. AS for me,
the best way to achieve this end
has been to remember Him and all
those other gallant souls who have
followed Him through the storm.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

A SUBSTANCE so approved by
"A current opinion and by
scientific experiment as milk
naturally demands protection
from the law. for milk is readily
spoilt, owing to its composition,
easily contaminated, owing TO its
method Of production, and as it
is usually taken raw it readily
conveys infection. Further. 1t is
difficult for the consumer to
check minor variations in quail
ity. A number of regulations
have therefore been passed by
most governments to ensure that
this important food is obtained
pure and in good condition.
Some time ago DR.. Cory Mann
tried the effect of giving milk to
children in boarding schools.
Now some other workers have
repeated his experiments under
the more trying conditions of q
Scottish slun1. Groups OF chill
.dren were selected at the ages
Of to 6, 8 to 8 and 13 to IA,
in seven Scottish towns. In each
town four groups were taken,
each consisting Of 40 to SO
children. Group received an
ordinary diet. Group 2 had the
same diet and in addition q bis
cult of the same energy-producing
value as the milk given to Groups
and 4. Separated Ii. e.,
skimme0 milk was given to
Group 8. Whole milk was given
to Group 4. All the children
were attending day school. They
had their diets given them there
for a period of seven months.
Each child was weighed to a
quarter of a pound and its height
measured to quarter OF an
inch.
The average increase in height
was 1,47O inches, as contrasted
with 1912 inches for the others.
When the findings had been
corrected by a careful considera-
ton of the food the children got
at their home meals, it was
found that the milk made a
difference OF 20 per cent in the
growth, weight and height. The
difference in height between the
group who had separated milk
and those who had whole milk
was insignificant.
Observation showed that the
children who had the milk were,
in general, healthier and happier
than those who did not; they had
gloSsier hair and clearer complex.
ions and held themselves more
erect.
These results, therefore, coincide
very closely with those of DIR.
Cory Mann on rather differ
ent type of child under different
conditions. The experiments
show that separated milk has a
higher dietetic value than has
been realized. 1t compensates for
inadequate calcium, for deficiency
of Vitamin B and for the pres
ence of proteins in an otherwise
inadequate diet. 1t is not. how
ever, safe to argue that sep
arated milk is as good as whole
milk, for these experiments only
extended over a few months, and
the lack of milk fat in a diet
takes some time to show itself.
It appears as an inferiority in
general vigor and a greater sus-
ceptibility to infections, especially
colds, coughs and pneumonia.
In England the average daily
consumption of milk is little more
than a quarter of a pint, SO the
inadequacy of the amount OF this
valuable food that most children
are receiving Is really very sEaYe'
