In this country the milk ot tha goat is not depended upon to any extent to supply the population wltn, milk.' In some coantrlea such' as Italy nearly, - all j the milk . u a e d cornea from goats. A goat produces more milk In propor tion to her size than m cow and la some times called the poor man's tow.r. ; . The globules of fat in goat's milk are small er than In eowa Dr. C C-Deaaa milk, .And j for this reason rise Yery slowly. The cream, is rery difficult to separate eyen , with a' separator.: k The tat content is only slightly under that of the cow's milk, and the sugar and protein content la about-the same. Goat's milk la very ,apt td hare -m -goaty" taste it . the animals are not kept clean and the mUk is not drawn In a aani tary manner. ; ; One of the advantages claimed for the use of goat's milk is that the goat is not as susceptible to tuberculosis as the cow. It is true that yery little tuberculosis is found among goats but this has been because the animals have probably been, kept in . cleaner quarters than cows were for many generations. - Malta ferer occurs just as frequently among users ot goat's milk as from cow's milk. One of the greatest objections to the use ot this "kind ot milk is the possibility of producing a pe- cullr form of amemla. - This oc curs in small Infants who depend on the milk as their chief source of food. In elder children who eat large amounts of vegetables and fruits this amemla seldom occurs, nor is It likely to bef ound in adults. Anemia due to drinking goat's milk is not a common occurence yet there have been, enough cases to warrant giving just a note of warning concerning its exclusive use for small children who I de pend on milk for their mala source of food. ' The wisest pro cedure would be to teed some oth er kind of milk until the child Is old enough to eat vegetables and fruit in sufficient quantity to overcome the possible effects of the goat's mUkv It these precau tions are taken there la no reason why this form of milk cannot be more extensively used.; In this I country its use will probably nev-1 er reach the proportions of some of the European coutries.

He pushed the con trol stick forward and, as me si lent, crippled plane slid down ward in a gentle glide, looted overside for an emergency land Ing place. His mouth became set in a grim, tight-lipped line as he surveyed the inhospitable Florida landscape below.

Ha had covered perhaps halt the dis tance to the clearing when ne heard the sound ot voices. He cut a sigxag course through, the grove In the direction whence it had come. Rounding the lower branches 'ot a handsome, full- bearing tree, he ' stopped short, amazed at the pair wno were walking toward him. Dressed in blue denim overalls which terminated in knee- length snake boots .were two girls,' each Of whom, beneath the wide-brimmed hate of coarse straw, was pos sessed of a beauty so unusual that the flier stared at them with outright astonishment.

"Good Idea, it he has the near est phone," he agreed, .regarding her for the first time. - As he looked at her he became aware that she even surpassed her blue-ryed companion in beauty. Perhaps a year younger than the other, she resembled her in some vague, indefinable way despite the fact that the two contrasted in almost every feature. Tendrils of blue-black hair crept from beneath the straw hat, emphasis ing the delicate tan of her flaw less complexion. Her eyes, too, were black, framed by lashes of length and heaviness that Dave had thought could be obtained only, by a generous Application of mascara. There was Just a hint of restlessness In the curving lines. of her tun red Hps that her pert, slightly up-tilted nose did not belie. He studied the two covertly while they surveyed the wreck. It was obvious they were not "crack- era.
