He was below medium height, slim and wiry; his gait and the shape of his legs, his build, all prociaimed the dragoon. His complexion was purple, and the large, white teeth visible beneath a bristling gray moustache added to the natural ferocity of his appearance. Standing just within the doorway, "Mr. Paul " be good enough to read this." From his wallet he took a' newspaper cutting, smaller thi... first and gummed to a sheet of club notepaper. Harley took it and read as follows: "Mr. De Lana, a well known member of the Stock Exchange, who met with a serious accident recently, is still in a precarious condition." The puzzled look on Harley's face grew more --- watched him Use More Milk. How many members of your family drink milk, three times a day, seven days a week? How many drink any milk at all? As a usual thing, a higher centage of people in cities form the habit of drinking milk with their meals than do those on farms where milk is produced. It is not at all uncommon for the country boy girl to go away to school, or to the city, «and there acqaire his first liking for milk--the most perfect food in the world. Often the habit is begun when he orders a half-pint bottle of milk at some cafeteria, or chooses from the counter a small plate of cottage cheese, later on beginning to wonder why he had never cared to drink milk at home or eat the portion of cottage cheese prepared by his mother. A recent survey reveals that about seventy-three per cent, of the children whose parents live on farms do not drink milk, and many refuse to eat milk products, such as cheese, or but- The Provincial Board of Health would like to see a larger percentage of rural children take advantage of their opportunity to get as much as possible of this best all-round food. For that is what milk is. It not only tastes good, but it makes bone, muscle and blood. It has been said that the vigor and success of a nation depend largely upon the amount of milk its citizens drink. Milk is the best single food because it contains a mixture of all the important things that we find in s mixed diet. We find the same nourishing elements in milk that are contained in a meal made up of meal and eggs, cereals and sugar, oils and fats, with salt and water. Milk is a fuel food: it contains sugar and fat, and the body needs fuel food to keep it warm, and to make it move in \ and play. But milk is also a good food because it contains those eh ments which repair waste, a: growth, and builds flesh and bone. We used to believe that children grew bow-legged when permitted to major! walk too young--that the weight of th an expression which I their bodies was too much for the enjoyment. >nly describe as one of fierce I soft bones c "You'r. thinking I'm their bodies.

' Fiftieth Anniversary of Sun Life. ; The year 1921 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the SUn Life Assurance Company of Canada, which in the half century of its existence had grown to. be one of the largest and most successful life insurance companies in the world. One year after it was organized, in 1872, the company's income was $48,000; its assets, $96,461; and it had written policies for a total of $1,064,-350. By the year 1880 the income had grown to $141,402 with assets $473,-682, and insurance in force of $3,897,-139. Frcm this time onward the envelopment of the company, not only in Canada, but in stretching out to many other countries of the world, proceeded at a rapid pace, as the tables for the next four decades indicate: 1890 Income ........... $889,000 Assets ........... $2,473,000 Insurance in force. $16,759,000 1900 Income ........... $2,789,000 Assets ........... $10,486,000 Insurance in force. $57,980,000 1910 Income ........... $9,575,000 Assets ........... $38,164,000 Insurance in force. $143,549,000 1920 Income ........... $28,751,000 Assets ...........$114,839,000 Insurance in force.$486,641,000 Details of the financial statement of this company for the past year appear elsewhere in this issue, and will be studied with more than usual interest in this its Jubilee year. A Subway Bakery at Verdun. An underground bakery, says the journal of Home Economics, furnishes all the bread used by the refugee population in thhe ruined city of Verdun. No other building was sufficiently weatherproof to house a bread-bak- e establishment for the •ning townspeople, and the authorities forced to requisition the great ovens underground in order to turn cut the principal food of the toilers Several timers each day the bread is brought to the mouth of the black cavern beneath the great walls where lines of people await their rations. The bakeshop is a part of the famous underground city of Verdun, built after the war of 1871 and designed to hcuse thirty thousand persons during an attack. During the Great War thousands of soldiers and a few refugees lived in this subterranean abode while the city was under fire for four years.
