Milk is very easy of digestion and a complete food in that it con tains a correct balance of protein, energy and the minerals. Fur thermore, milk enters into har monious and beneficial combina tion with many other food3 and greatly increases their value. If the consumption of miik were in creased the cost of living could be materially reduced and health conserved at the same time. "Cream, butter and buttermilk should enter largely into our diet ary, because of their cheapness and digestibility. No other stand ard food is as digestible as pure butter, save sugar alone. Ice cream is sometimes considered a luxury, yet it is a very nourish ing food in every sense or tne term. Milk that has turned sour has simply been acted on by the lactic acid ferments, natural to all cows' milk, and while the milk has lost a little of its sugar, the souring has increased its digesti bility. Buttermilk and sour milk are very digestible and cooling and soothing to the digestive tract 'When you buy milk, always remember that a quart of milk is worth practically as much as the average pound of beef steak and you will soon see the eebnomy of using more milk." The King David Apple. The King David apple is one of the newer varieties which has been much advertised and talked about. Whether it is going to prove a success commercially in ennsylvania. the Department of Agriculture i3 not prepared to say for the reason that its ex perts have not had sufficient time to observe it However, it is worth growing in the home orchard. The King David is supposed to be a cross between the Jonathan and Arkansas Black and has prov ed superior to either parent in many characteristics. The tree is hardy and productive and is up to the average in vigor and health. It is a better colored ap ple than the Jonathan which makes King David one of the handsomest grown. Its deep. solid red color, uniform size, and rotund shape are three qualities making for perfection from the aesthetic point of view. The fruit hangs on well, deep- (r.ing in color the longer it hangs but to keep well it should be picked as soon as well overspread with color, and before the seeds are well npenea. n overripe when picked it ha3 a tendency to rot at the core in storage. The flesh is distinctly yellow, firm, crisp, moderately tender, juicy, brisk, sub-acid, spicy and aromatic, and in quality good and very good. Its season is from November to February. Alto gether it is one of the most prom ising of the newer apples. Church Notices. Sunday. April 2, Rev. Croft will preach at Asbury at 10:30; at Ebenezer at 2:00, and at Si- loam at 7:30.

It is a great pity that the good old habit of eating plenty of mush and milk has fallen into disre pute. What grand old men and women were grown on mush and milk diet If our dietarians or dining room masters would coin an unpronounceable French name for this excellent combination dish, and thus induce the masses to eat it in abundance, their action would be a benefit to humanity, The jbove is the sentiment ex pressed by L. W. Linhty, farm adviser of the State Department of Agriculture in making a plea for the use of more milk. Mr, Lighty says: "The food expert say? a qnrt of milk is equal to fourt'ri ounces Knows the Congressional Easiness, Al ways Working for the People and No Change Thought of at This Critical Period. 'rom the Shamokin daily Dis patch, March 21. Congressman Ben Focht over at Lewisburg is a candidate for re-election and it looks- like he would win, hands down. Its like a familiar newspaper advertisement-"there's a rea son." With Focht it's His HU MAN INTEREST IN ALL HIS CONSTITUENTS-to whom he of course is indebted for his elec tionand in a lot of other people from whom he has no earthly reason ever to expect a favor. It is Focht's policy of watch ful waiting" for an opportunity to do someone a favor that has made him so solid in his district that it is dangerous to intimate over there that he has any faults. t's only at long range that peo ple say that he has, but when they get close to his genial per sonage they forget it Some people over in his district knock about his political affilia tions but when it gets around to election time they mark their bal lots for Ben Focht for Congress. Being a good fellow isn't an art It' 8 a science and it takes brains to play the game success fully. Ben Focht has been ' a good fellow" to everybody so long that it has become a habit -Adv. Highest and Lowest Elevations. We learn from the Fulton County Atlas that the apex o Cove mountain, where it joins Tuscarora mountain, east of Mc Cotinellsburg, is 2,450 feet above sea level, which is the highest elevation in our county, while the lowest elevation is 485 feet, where the Black Oak Ridge road in Bethel township crosses the State line into Maryland. WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form. Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little if any good.

It was like a picture from one of the old booka on travel in Siberia.

Axel Ileiberg Lund is infested with them, their trucks beinir found intennin gling with those of the musk ox and white caribou. A mother and her young are surrounded, worried to dctath and torn in pieces. During Svenlrup's expedition the wolves came into camp, uttackod and kill ed some of the doirs and later, on the trail, even attacked one of tho men who had no other weapon to defend himself with than a ski. Xo animal in the north is so cn during, none has Buch a wide range, and pone has easier existence, their food being musk oxen, caribou, arctic hare, lemmings and possibly foxes. There is also every evidence to believe that wolves prey upon seals along the ice foot. Donald B. Macmillan, leader of Crocker land Expedition, in Harpers Magazine. Why Cuviar Wora a Baard. "To save time is to lengthen life is a proverb found in one form or another in almost every language, and Cuvier, the great naturalist, found life all too short to accom plish all he wished to do, though most economical of the hours. "I found," he said, "that my shavinar took me a miarter of an hour a nay. This makes seven and a half hours in a month and ninety hours, or three days and eighteen hours, very nearly lour days u year This discovery stairirered me. Here fJtJ was I complaining that time was too short : that the years flew by too swiftly; that I had not Lours enough for work. and. in the midst or my complaining I was wasting nearly four duvs a vear in lathering my face with a shaving brush, and I re solved thenceforth to let my beara TOW." Statement of tacts. Editor News: Believing that a great injustice has been done Robert Wilkinson by the stories that have been circulated grow ing out of his arrest last Satur day night on charges of forgery, counterfeiting and jumping a board bill, we the undersigned request that you publish the fol lowing statement embracing the facts as we have found them to be upon investigation. Prior to February 14th of this year, Mr. Wilkinson was in the employ of Edward J. Post, and on that date took him to Greens burg where Mr. Post was attend ing the Automobile Bhow. Mr. Wilkinson stopped at the Fisher House, tendering as payment of his bill a check given him by Mr. Post for $15.00 drawn on the First National Bank of McCon nellsburg, this check Mr. Wilk inson indorsed over to the pro prietor of the Hotel who accept ed the same. It turned out that Mr. Post had no funds in the bank and the check went to pro test After being apprised that the check had been protested, Mr. Wilkinson notified the Fisher House that he had arranged to have the bill paid including the telephone charges and the pro test fees, which amount was to be paid by Dr. George W. Tea- garden of Chambersburg upon receipt of sight draft for the amount While awaiting the coming of the draft which was agreed to by the proprietor of the Fisher House, a warrant from the Hotel was issued on the charges above mentioned, and sent to the po lice department of Chambers burg. Chief Klenzing came to Mc Connellsburg Saturday night, ar rested Mr. Wilkinson and took him to Chambersburg where he was released from custody on his own promise to be there when wanted. On Tuesday of this week the chief, after communicating with Greensburg, informed Mr. Wilk- insonlthat the payment of $16.41 would end the matter. Upon tht advice of his father this amount was paid and the charges drop ped. The circumstances of this case show clearly a malicious intent on the part of the prosecutor tc extort money from a young man innocent of any intention ol wrong doing, who had made ar rangements that were accepted by the hotel man to pay all of tht check and the costs of protest Mr. Wilkinson is advised that he has a right of action against the prosecutor for false impris onment and malicious prosecu tion and is contemplating bring ing action accordingly.
