WHY
Milk Is a Health Giver and
a Body Builder
"Every boy should have a quart of
milk a day until he has attained hU
growth; and every girl should have
a quart of milk a day until she haa
weaned her last baby.” Quoting one
of the world's greatest scientists In
nutrition, H. C. Sherman of Columbia
university.
Further, we are told. If we wish to
remain young and have the best health,
we may well follow the practice of
using a quart of milk a day through­
out our adult life. Using It, mind you
—not necessarily drinking It. Made
Into cream soups, bread, custards, pud­
dings, scalloped with other foods, In
cocoa—who cares in what way, Just
so long as the dally quart is there.
Occasionally, but very occasionally.
Indeed, we find a person who cannot
take milk, even when It Is cooked Into
or with foods. These persons are ex­
empt, but we cannot help feeling sorry
that they go through life nutritionally
crippled In this way.
Why milk and why so much milk?
U Is the cheapest source of the
needed animal muscle-building food.
It Is the richest of all foods in bone­
building substances; lime and phos­
phorus.
It contains all three—or four, If
there are four—vitamins. If the milk
Is produced by healthy, rightly fed
and cared-for cows.
Milk is not a "cure all,” although
when It Is used to replace a part of
our modern white bread,, meat and po­
tato dietary. It Is a "cure for much.”
Not every wrong can be righted by
using more milk, but muny of them
•nay.
The moral of our story Is to use
milk If you wish the happiness of good
health. Give It to children In the
abundance needed to make them
strong. Take a daily quart yourself.
Drink It raw if it Is clean and agrees
with you and you like It. Boll It, If
you need to. Learn to make it Into
attractive dishes. Spread the good
news of Its value.
Why World Hails New
Production of Helium
A new way of getting helium has
been suggested In Germany by Dr.
Kurt Peters of the Physical Technical
Institute of Berlin. It Is to be dis­
tilled from radioactive minerals used
In various Industries, and mainly from
monazlte sand, which Is used for
Welsbach mantles. Although it has
been known for a long time that these
minerals give off helium when heat­
ed, the gas has never been recovered
commercially. Doctor Peters claims
It Is the largest source of helium In
Germany at the present time. He es­
timates that a production of from
15,000 to 20,000 cubic feet la available
annually.
While this amount will not be suffi­
cient for use In dirigibles, It Is expect­
ed to suffice for technical purposes.
Helium has been most difficult to ob­
tain because the United States, which
Is the only country in the world pro­
ducing the rare gas In large quanti­
ties, has stringent export laws pro­
hibiting Its sale to foreign countries
except with the sanction of the War
and Navy departments.

FIERY CROSS WELCOMES JULY
FOURTH
Last Sunday evening, just as
darkness had set over the valley, a
large and magnificent “ fiery cross”
o f the Ku Klux Klan blazed forth
on the top of “ Old Baldy” in honor
of the sesqui centennial o f our na­
tion’s independence.
The cross burned with a clear, red
light for fully half an hour before
the lights finally died out one by
one. All over the nation where this
patriotic protestant organization has
any membership, there appeared
“ fiery crosses” similar to the one
seen last Sunday night. The “ fiery
cross” displayed by the Grants Pass
Klan is said to have been five hun­
dred feet in length and over two
hundred feet across and is probably
the largest “ fiery cross” ever dis­
played anywhere in the domain of
the Invisible Empire.— Southern Ore­
