Some foods are ailments, valuable
mainly because of their nutritive value,
while others are condiments, more in
the nature Of relishes and Injuries.
Ice Cream has often been regarded as
one of the condiments, though in reali-
ty it is an aliment The same may be
said, incidentally, of another important
dairy product, cheese, which is chiefly
the solid part Of milk.
"Ice cream should not be looked up
on merely as a luxury or as a sweet
but as a food which may occupy a
legitimate place at any meal A water
ice, on the other hand, is a luxury,
since it is only frozen water favored,
though if the flavor is one Of the cit
rus fruits, it may have some food
value.
I'm considering the problem of
sweets for children, which is certainly
q vexatious one for many parents who
do not wish to see their children blunt
their natural appetites with concen-
trated forms Of sugars, one solution lies
in allowing them ample amounts Of
pure ice creams.
"Ice cream has been called health In
frozen form. It merits the term, be-
cause it is beneficial to all persons,
except sufferers from diabetes, who are
generally forbidden to use any sweets.
It is one Of the most appetizing of all
dietary articles"

HOW TO KEEP WELL


The educational committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
today declares that ice cream is not
to be considered food luxury and
adds that it can be served with bene-
fetal health results to all persons ex-
cept those suffering from diabetes.
'sThe child or adult who Graves ice
cream this summer may consume this
frozen delicacy as eagerly as he likes,
for pure ice cream is q healthful and
nutritious food" declares the bulletin.
Liberal amounts Of good ice cream
are, in fact, actually beneficial to most
children and grown-ups.
"The name ice cream indicates what
it is made Of, for the basis Of this
food is cream, the butter fat Of milk

act for the hotel
Blake conceived the idea of erect
ing the hotel and began to circular
ize his fellow-countrymen for sub
6criptions. The court declared In
its opinion:
Finding his glowing picture Of
prospective profits from the conduct
ing of the hotel, augmented by the
profits from his steamship agency,
money exchange and kindred enter
prises colby received, he invited and
secured cooperation of the Ameri-
can Order, Sons of st. George.
In return for the impetus thus
gained through his persuasion and IN
centive," the court continued, the
said order was given possession and
occupation of the twelfth floor OF
the hotel, rent free, for a period OF
five years and its secretary an annual
salary of $500.
Thus through the medium Of the
bulletin (the Cornish Arms Hotel Bull
Ietin) edited by Blake containing
avowals of unusual profit under his
astute management and the influence
OF the order, subscriptions, purposely
limited to small amounts, were secured
from 5000 individuals of British an
cestry scattered all over the American
continent. e
During the period Of construction,
Blake, to secure control of the corpor-
alton, formed a board Of directors
agreeable to himself, and had himself
elected president at an annual salary
of i've per cent of the gross income
and board and lodging for himself
and family, which practically meant
the payment of more than $4,000 an
nually for a period Of five years.
In addition to this lucrative con-
tract, despite protests OF some OF the
directors, particularly the plaintiff,
Blake, for promotion work, was voted
the sum of S35,098, which practically
balanced the submitted amount OF sub
| scriptions in his possession and not
paid over to the corporation.
