Eating Greater
Cause ofDeath
Than Drinking

Drink Is the second greatest cause
Of disease and death. Food comes
first, then drink. Excluding alcoholic
beverages, there are dozens Of drinks
on the market today whose effect Is
detrimental, particularly to children.
Milk Is the best drink for children.
Not only is 1t drink, but food as we'll
the most nearly perfect food known to
man.
Milk is an all-the-year-round drink
and for this reason the children often
rebel against drinking 1t. This condi-
ton, however. may be overcome by
the introduction Of the mixed drink.
Milk or diluted evaporated milk may
be mixed with eggs or used In fruit
Juices or in some other way which
will disguise the fact that the drink
contains milk. In the hot summer
months when the child naturally
drinks more than in cooler weather,
it is wise to vary the ways of serv-
ing milk, so as not to create distaste
for this important food.

the most part opposed to labor as
suming control while constituting q
minority in parliament.
Norway's labor forces are headed
toward the left. Perhaps the near
ness of Norway to Russia has con-
vinced the workers that the only real
success lies in the direction of COM
plete overthrow of the capitalist order.
On December Is last, the national
Federation of Labor at its annual con-
vention voted by a vote of two to one
to sever all connections with the old
Amsterdam International and to seek
affiliation with the labor movements
of Sweden, Denmark, Finland and
Russia
1t seems that the Norwegian labor
movement is far more to the left
than those of Sweden and Denmark.
1t seeks no compromise with the exist
ing order.

United States. Here the government
wants to give away the valuable
Muscle Shoals hydro-electric project
built by the U. S., to the power trust
for the latter to enjoy large profits on
the sale of current produced by a pub
licly owned plant.
Norway Has Brief Period Of
Labor Rule.
The labor government of Norway
was short lived. 1t came into being
on January % and passed out on
February Is.
The political situation in Norway
will remain muddled for some little
time. The new liberal ministry
headed by former Premier John Lud-
wig Mowinckel will have hard row
to hoe. The liberal party possesses
only one-fifth of the members of the
Norwegian parliament and will have
to depend upon opposition parties for
support in order to stay on the job.
At the general election on October
II last, the laborites of Norway in
Guiding the Socialists and Commun-
lists, elected 81 members to parlia-
ment. This represents a little more
than 40 percent of the membership
of that body. The party is by far
the strongest in parliament.
King Calls Labor to Power.
The old conservative ministry re-
signed on January %, realizing that
it could not hold on with a parliament
strongly opposed to its continuance.
The King thereupon asked the head
of the labor party group to form a
ministry. The leaders of the party
who are strongly communist in SYM
pathy opposed assuming the response
bility of government under the mon
archy. However, the majority of the
group decided otherwise and accord
ingly c. Hornsrud of the parliament
tary group agreed to organize a min
istry.
No sooner had the laborites as
sumed power than they made known
their program. Instead of comprom-
ising with capitalism as it is charged
was done by the Socialist ministries
of Branting in Sweden, of Stauning
in Denmark and of Macdonald in Eng
land, the Norwegian labor party an
nounced that it would adhere to its
prediction program and strive for
the establishment of Socialist state.
Labor Did Not Propose Compromise.
'"The Norwegian labor party's OBJ
jective as expressed in the party's
program" the announcement said, "is
to bring about the establishment of a
Socialist state in Norway. The gov
ernment is, however, quite aware that
the present situation is prohibitive of
any fundamental social change but it
Cthe labor party desires in all its
affairs to have constantly in view the
interests of the working people and

it might very well be used in scientific

crystal gazing is way of making a

Travis himself, says Popular Science

The STRAW BOSS
BY H. H. SIEGELE

81 have been wondering" the fore
man said, as he was talking over his
plans with the superintendent, who l
should put in the lead on the work IN
the basement; the work there is new
to most of the men, if not to all OF
them; besides, am going to be kept
busy with the roof until it is complet-
ed. There are number of men VINO
have worked for this firm for a great
many years, but in my Judgment they
are not the best qualified men for tax
ing the lead-they can do what they
can do, first-class; but on the other
hand, if they are put to do what |
know they can't do, they'll make a
real failure of it. The best qualified
man on the pob for the place has just
recently completed his apprenticeship
Of course, if | give him the place, 1t
will cause hard feeling among the
older heads | want to avoid hard
feelings, if ! possibly can do so, but
