An Important Food

MIX should not be regarded as
a beverage. It is food. It should
be slipped, not gulped down rapidly,
to quelch thirst or wash down other
foods which should be masticated.
The gastric juice Of the stomach
causes milk to curdle shortly after
you swallow 1t. II milk Is drunk rap
idly. the curds are large and tough,
and digestion Is apt to be slow and
difficult.
All milk products are valuable
foods and not drop should be
wasted.
Skim milk contains all the good
qualities Of milk, except the fat and
milk-fat vitamin. It is the cheap
est source Of protein.
Sour milk is excellent for cook
ing or making cottage cheese.
Buttermilk is q food enjoyed by
many and is also Of value In cook
Ing.
Butter is most important as a
source Of energy and vitamin con-
tent.
Cream is also valuable for the
same reasons as butter, but is costly
and not so essential If we have
plenty Of milk and butter.
Cottage cheese Is cheap source
of protein and easy to digest. One
pound Of cottage cheese supplies
more protein than pound Of beef,
park, lamb or chicken.

Care of Milk

The kind of milk we use is ex-
tremely important since milk is an
ideal carrier of bacteria, and is
easily contaminated. Great care
should be exercised to obtain clean,
pure milk.
Pasteurized milk from a reliable
dairy, delivered in bottles, is safest
unless milk is obtained from a di-
rect source which you know Is
clean and reliable.
Before opening bottle, the TOP
should be washed off and wiped
with q clean cloth.

West opened the king Of spades and
declarer's problem was to find some
way to obtain heart discards on
dummy's club suit To lead clubs i'm
mediately was too dangerous. as West
was probably very short in that suit.
But declarer, evidently a very imagi-
native player, found way to get rid
OF his hearts. He allowed West to win
the first trick and when a spade was
continued. trumped the second round.
The ace of trumps was then played,
followed by small trump to dummy,
and now the queen of clubs was led
East naturally refused to cover, and
when the queen held, declarer dis
carded his ace Of clubs on dummys
ace of spades.
The rest was plain sailing. The jack
of clubs was played. East covered and
declarer trumped. Dummy's two re-
naming clubs were now both good,
and the last trump provided re-
entry for two heart discardS, the re-
naming heart being conceded. Had
declarer taken the ace of spades on
either the first or second lead, he
could not have made his contract. His
play was one of the most brilliant and
unusual we have ever seen.

By John Hix

,ONE day in November, 1877, the
Board of Trustees OF year-old
Johns Hopkins University was con-
fronted with the problem of deciding
whether or not women should be ad-
mitted as students.
The immediate problem was Miss
M. Carey Thomas of Baltimore. a
daughter of one of the trustees Well
qualified, she had just graduated
from Cornell University with an A.
B. degree. At the age of 20, Miss
Thomas was admitted-but with
most unusual stipulation-she would
not be permitted to attend classes!
She had sought admission to con-
tinue her studies in Greek under the
late Prof. Basil L. Gildersleeve, but
strange as 1t seems. the faculty did
not allow her to enter his classroom
with male students Instead, Glider
sleeve coached her "after school" for
