Speaker Says They May Tickle tbe Palate, But Don't Build Sinew Oregon uses only 12 pounds of I j butler per capita per year, where I il should use 4t; only a small j fraction of the cheese it makts ' and should consume; and tlo i average consumption of milk is j only one-half a glass a day, where jit should be one to two qua;t3. : according to statements made by Fred W. Merrill of Portland at the fonimcrvial club luncheon on Monday iioon. Mr. Merrill, who represents the ! Oregon Dairy league for the pro motion of the dairy business, made an extremely interesting talk on the importance of the dairy industry for Oregon, from the point of view of health an well as of business. Industry l-cading One He said that 20.0U0 men in Oregon are neaged in dairying. P'odticing annually $2ft.UUO,0io worth of d tiry goods. As a I us it.t.ss. it is one of l bo best in the state; better than lumbering, l;e- riti'se it is constructive and tap- able of indefinite expansion, while lumbering decreases as the forests are cut away. Oregon, he said, is the best natural dairy state in i he union, and should begin to develop its heritage as its riches deserve. An imposing array of facts was presented to prove tho importance of a larger use of dairy products. Elaborate scientific studies have been made to show the influence of various foods on animal life, and it has been found that to ile- I prive animal life of milk is to ' ulunt rrnlrl li nml ilovlnnmonl An epidemic of blindness that affect ed more than 1600 people In a dairy section in Denmark was fin ally traced to tho "trifty" habit of selling all the butter for export, feeding the skimmed milk to the hogs for bacon for export and letting the people themselveH starve for the vital elements that the milk contains. A correction of this dietetic crime resulted In most of the afflicted blind people recovering their sisht. Effect Il'.uM rated Various statistics were given showing the effect of a milk diet on invalids, or on children of marked under weight. Even in Oregon, the natural home of the dairy cow, the speaker found that 25 percent of the boys and 30 percent of the girls are habitually undernourished. In some of the Portland schools, where the pub lic bas aroused itself to tbia ques tion and has been providing milk for a mid-forenoon luncheon for the under-nourished children most of them have been brought up to standard in weight and health and class standing. "There is something in milk that no scientist has been exactly able to isolate." said Mr. Merrill. "It carries on through all the dairy products milk, butter, cream, cheese. The. butterfat and the other elements that are so hard lo find in body but so easy to find in their effects, are found nowhere else in all the range of foods. Oregon is using F.even pounds of oleomargarine per capi ta per year --almost as much of I his cheap, (innutritions substitute as do of tho health-giving but ter that we can produce on every farm in the state. Wo go half way across the world to get the :;ubstitnteH that may delude the palate but that fall to feed the body the element's it demands if we are to keep our health." Stale School Hoys Grow The speaker mentioned partlc ularly the hoy- of the' Oregon boys' training school, nar Salem, where a fine dairy herd is; main tained that supplies 80 gallons or milk a day for 'he 1C0 Mudents He says that this two rju.irts of milk a day had produced some of the finest i'pecli.iens of boyhood to be found in the west. Not one per cent of them are under weight, and their scholarship and advance ment are said to be exceptional for their ages. "We are what we eat." was the general argument of the speaker, who showed that Japan, which has stuck so closely to rice and vege tables and never known what a real dairy diet in, has seen a great iiht In its study of the Nipponese in America. The American-born children of the. usual diminutive Japanese parents, upon maturity, averare much larger than their parents; attributable to the use of milk in this land where dairy diet. If not universal, is at leat far more common than It Is In Japan. The result of the Imperial com mission's findings In this case has been that a shipload of dairy sup plies is now going from SeaWIe every month, whereas only a lit tle while ago hardly a start of a cargo could be gotten In a whole year." The dairy market in tbe Orient, the speaker said, promises a mag nificent opening for the Oregon farmer. Concerted Movo Itcgin. It vas urged that every busi ness man make It his own affair to help boost the dairy industry, both for the financial and for the health returns that it will bring. Milk aa th great good and medi cine for the whole human rae was urged on every one interested in humanity.

T'he lea 1 ue has gathered an Im iiii use array of figures from hoh pitals. scIkmiIs, doctors, arid ex pects to carry the campaign to I'vrry iiorlion of Oregon in the inletesl of both health and biihi- ss prosperity. Mr. Merrill is helping local dairymen to outline ja plan for liriiit'ins; the inilk-ulld- J cheese-alld-biilter diet so stron- i i hetore nu homes of saiem that i ne p resen i consumption oi inese foods shall be largely increased. An especially dainty dairy luncheon was served by Steward John UundherK. winch was com mented on by the speaker as he- an; close to the ideal for Its use of dairy products. Mutter, cheese cream, the salad, etc., were men tioned as being the kind of foods that would build a superior race anywhere on earth. Three Boys Arrested and Confess to Having Per petrated Offenses For several months past, auto mobiles in the city, have mysteri ously disappeared for several hours and later would be found parked in some part of the city entirely out of the way from where they were originally park ed. The police have been baffled, but yesterday Chief Moffitt suc ceeded iu apprehending three young men whom he thinks to be the guilty ones. Mill Gupton. IS years old, who lives on Mission street. Myron 1-ind, 18. living on North Liberty street, and Charles Crosby 17, also a resident of North Liberty, were apprehended and are said to have confessed to having taken automobiles at various times for joy rides. All three lad are attending the Washington junior high BChool. It is said that Kind confessed to other charges, such as taking bi cycles, tearing them to pieces and re-assembllnj; them to be sold in part or as a whole. He admitted to throwing the worthless parts and parts that he feared to use. Into a hole on Mill creek. The mat ter is receiving thorough Investi gation by the police. Baccalaureate Sermon For Seniors at First Meth odist Church Scores of people failed to find even standing room at the First Methodist church Sunday morn ing, when President Carl U. Doney preached the baccalaureate sermon to tin graduating class ot Willamette university. The centtr front of the church was reserved for the graduates and the faculty, who met at 10:. Jo at Waller hail and marched to the church. The church filled rap Idly, until many had to be turned away for lack of accommodation. Kev. Itlaint K. Kirkpatrlck, pastor of tlm church, introduced President Hickman, of Kimball School of Theology, who delivered the invocation. The rholr sang one mi m be-, end the Willamette Glee dub gave an anthem. Dr. Don-y took as his subject, "The Recurrent Christ." showing how tbe spirit of Christianity is recurrent in every age, and eve-y life. It does not die out and pass from the heart.' he said, but it comes again and again, In new forms, new manifestations. One of these Is the urge to service to the humanity that is so lost without this spark of divinity. The speaker delivered a power ful v.xbortation to the students just leaving the college halls to lake with them the spirit of help fulness, the spirit of Christianity which is the desire to make the world better than one finds It. It was one of the most impressive sermons delivered In the church in a long time, arid given In D-. Doney's sp'oiulid voice and man ner. Sunday evening, the anniver sary service of the college Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. societies was held in the church. Professor John McCormlck of Kimball School of Theology gave a striking addreRs on the alms of the two organizations.
