A word should be said about how to take milk. It should be eaten, not swallowed as a beverage. Dr. J. 11. j Kdlogg asserts in Good Health. All foods need to be masticated. The ealf and the nursing infant chew milk. The movements of the jaws and the sucking movements executed by an infant in nursing induce an abundant flow of saliva, which dilutes it, and to a high degree promotes its ' digestion. I Milk, when swallowed rapidly as a i beverage is likely to form in the | stomach large and hard curds, which ' are very slowly digested. Many per sons who suffer from taking milk In this way imagine themselves to be unable to take milk, and so abandon its U.Jf. Milk should ,be sipped slowly and with a sucking movement of the throat, so as to secure a liberal ad mixture of saliva. By this means the formation of hard, indigestible curds may be prevented. Milk also must be taken in right ouantities and in right combinations. H. cannot be denied that milk digests better when taken by itself or in very simple combinations than when mixed with a largo variety of other food stuffs.

Baltimore, 554 Schaefer street, Harrisburg. For several years I have been bothered with stomach ♦rouble and nervousness. My food always lay like a weight In my stom °-oh. I would bloat and had severe pains. At night I just rolled and tossed all night long, and felt worn out in the morning. I caught cold very easily, my head and throat always seemed full and congested. Nothing helped mc until I started to take Sanpan when I was soon re stored to health. My stomach no longer troubles me. I sleep well. I don't catch cold as before. My nerves are steady and my head clear. Sanpan is being introduced at Keller's Drug Store. 405 Market street, Harrisburg.—Adv.

SNOW COMES TO AIDOT ITALIANS [Continued from First Page.] tral point of the operations between tlie Piave and the Brenta rivers, has three feet of snow, while further north the positions occupied by the enemy are burled to a much greater depth. The snow barrier is operat ing strongly against the enemy as they are on the highest summits, while the Italians are on tho low er ground sloping toward the plain. IJltlc Activity On Monte Grappa, which is the dominating summit held by the Ital ians, and on Monte Pertica and Mon te Caprite, nearby, held by the en emy, the cannonade fell off to-day and there was little activity beyond patrol movements. Most of the sol diers are busy clearing the moun tain paths so as to permit the steady movement of supplies. Huge tractor snow plows are being used and sledges are taking the place of trucks for carrying food and muni tions. In addition to the interruption at the immediate front, the heavy dnow fall may close the enemy's line of communication from Austria south ward Into Italy. The principal route runs through the Stelvlo, an Alphine pass, and jias a railway down to Trent and Thence i to Primolano, which ls only ten miles from Monte Grappa and the lighting front. It is this route which has been open up to this time and has given the enemy direct com munication to the front. Avalanclies Probable While the lower section is not blocked, inidcatlons are that Stelvlo pass, which is the vital link in the route, is blocked by from ten to fif teen feet of snow. The Stelvlo is the highest pass In Europe, exceeding nine thousand feet, and connectes the Adige Valley of Austria with the Adda Valley in Italy. Snows in that section invariably are follow ed by avalanches which further block the valleys and available out lets. The enemy's eastern communica i tions into the Friuli region are simi lar to-day, but it is not as seriously ! affected. The railway line running southward along the upper Piave is i blocked by heavy snows and ava j lanches. Further east fie route to | Gorizia which passes through the trans-Alphine pass of Feisteritz, is I snowbound, though two other routes across tho Carao range are less affected. The Indications are that the en emy will be unable to carry on any large operations, particularly on the mountain fronv, during the period that his communications are snow bound. MRS.
