McCollum, formerly of the Wisconsin Experiment Sta , : lion, and now of Johns Hopkins University, has recently startled the . ! world by publication of the results of exhaustive experiments in I' this field. 1 -v 5 .. ' , ' . v . X lie has advanced the knowledge of scientific feeding of man and 4 i beast by a decade. , 1 Chemistry had done much before these experiments. It 'had worked out dietary tables on the basis of calories and , proteins and fats, s fs , -.. But Dr. McCullom has shown that before we can anticipate re- ; suits with exactness we must know what kinds of proteins and fats, ! ', as well as how much. . . . f - v And he ha? definitely and conclusively proved that there is no j substitute for the products of the dairy cow. , j Children will not grow normally without milk. 4 . Physical and mental and even moral stamina depends upon the ue of milk . '- a The reason for the prevalent blindness in Oriental Countries is the lack of milk; also beri-beri and pellagra are due to milkless diets. The young must have milk. ' . . . ' "And any people who wish to achieve must have milk. Science can find no substitute. , So, the United States must do one of two things, 4n order to maintain world leadership: - First, double jor treble the number of cows. Or, second, double or treble the average buttcrfatijproduction of the present number of cows by proper breeding and feeding. The latter may be done, as the reader may readily see. .Take the Jerseys, for instance. A Jersey cow is eligible to registration on producing 250 to IJ60 pounds of butterfat in a year, owing to age. ' i Vive La France, the greatest Jersey cow in the world, at liar- ion, Marion county, Oregon, actually produced about 1040 pound a a senior four year old. She is probably capable of producing 1200 pounds. ; ') f :- The common br indie cow produces around 150 pounds of bwtter fat in a year. The reader can readily see from this that the butterfat of the . United States could be doubled, trebled, or even quadrupled, and then some, by proper breeding and feeding. . That is, without any substantial increase in co'st of feeds; just by-knowing how, and care. Jn one of the two ways, or by a combination of the two ways, the milk production of this country must be increased; must be dou bled ; trebled. 1 t It is good citizenship to promote this.. It is along the line of efficiency. Even of patriotism. And it is good business. It will mean more silos; better barns; better cultivation ; higher land values. Better roads, better schools, and a higher plane of country and city and village life will all fol low. V... j '. .. No flippant matter, this. And the wide awake people in all walks of life are fully aware of the great importance of the cow. And, with Vive La France, the greatest Jersey cow in the world, Marion county,. Oregon, stands in the lime light in this movement. Western Oregon is bound to remain in the lime light in the dairy world, because there is a difference of a good many pounds of but terfat each year for the same: effort here over and above the pos sibilities of nearly every other section o the United States. why? :; Jv:: - - Because it costs so much less to get the cow through the twelve months here than it does where the winter's cold and the summer's heat must be fought. The difference is at least 7 cents a pound of butterfat in our favor, according to good authority. , It is perhaps more. So the beatenitrack of the dairy world is to the door of the Wil lamette valley dairymen. And it will remain so. v. ) Harvey Scott, when he was editor of the Fortland Oregonian, once wrote an able article that attracted wide attention; in which he proveoV to his own satisfaction and to the satisfaction of manv or hw readers that only the meat eaters were and were destined to be world conquerors; world leaders.

(Special to The Statesman) The Dallas high and the city public schools have closed down for two weeks owing to the extremely cold weather which has put the heating system in the public school out of commission -and has caused damage at the high school. The schools opened Monday morning but were immediately dismissed un til Monday, December 29. The cold weatiier of the past w"ek lias wrought probably several thou sands of dollars worth of damage to property in Dallas. In some of the homes water pipes and hot water tanks have frozen and then broken Many of the homes have been with out water for several days and are forced to carry it from the neighbor ing houses. The heavy weight of the snow h? caused several of the buildings t" collapse. The big pavilion at the fair grounds went down early in the j week and since that time other roof i have either fallen in or have been J seriously damaged. In tbs businesj I district the snow from the stores has been thrown into the streets, causing in some places piles of snow severa feet deep. Dallas has experienced the coldes weather in its history, the. mercury dropping to 2.1 degrees below zero Snow is so deep in the rural dis tricts that the mail carriers have been unable to make a mail delivery for several days.

Its name is the good ship United States Marine Corps Seagoing Depot. "The new depot was recently es tablished for the instruction of ma- tine recruits who are to serve at sea. And it is some school. "Not even the saltiest of tars has anything on the marine who finishes Its course. He is even, wise to the time honored jests of the sea. He Is taught that there are no such things as hammock ladders, green and red oil for the port and starboard lights or keys to anchor watch.

Many people hare striking or attractirs eyes, but very few have perfect sight. Faults of vision are usually do to improper shape of the eyebalL LONG EYES : That is, eyes which are too long from back to front; art the cause of what is popularly known as "Short Sight." The eye is so long that the clear image doesn't reach the sensitive back of the eyeball, called the retina. SHORT EYES Are exactly opposite to the above, and cause "Long Sight" the retina being too close to the front for distinct vision. FLAT EYES Is a simple description of a very intricate defect. It arises from the eyeball being rather flat in some part of its frcat surface, and the trouble is known as "Astigmatism," girisg good sight only in parts of the eye.
