CM September 25, 1924 $1.60 a Year Saluda Goat Ranch To_ Do Mail Order Business Throughout the South Uliss Belle F. Miller, formerly of Erie, Pa., where she ran La Cre senta Goat Ranch, builds up business with Nubian Goat Herd Claiming" many advantages for goat'-5 niilk as a food for babies and you Dp children, Miss Belle F. Miller of Saluda. X. Ct) has recently made arrangements to ship goats milk to all parts of the south on orders from baby sanitariums and /physicians. Shipments will made by parcel post in vacuum containers to any point which may be reached by rail within forty-eight hours. With the exception of Dr. Payne ; of (jfeenwood, S. C. who has a herd i of Swiss Toggenberg milk goats. Miss Miller is the only person in this part of the country specializing in the sale of goat milk. Miss Miller believes that the masses are fast learning the value of goats milk as a superior article of diet l'or grown-ups as well as babies because, it has been found to be not ? only delicious drink, but easily .and quickly digested and as similated. Goat's milk is pure white in color with a sweet creamy taste. The cream does not rise as in cow's milk, the fat globules being small and divided throughout the milk in minutg particles of uniform size? GoaJts milk is free from tubercu lar germs. During eight years, half a million goats were slaughtered under government inspection and not a single animal condemned for tuberculosis. Dr Chas# E. Atkins consulting specialist to the California Southern Sierras Sanatorium for diseases of the throat and lungs says in part: "I have observed so many favorable re sults from the use of goat's milk in tuberculosis in conquoring diges tive difficulties, that I am becoming more and more convinced , of its large field of usefulness in the treatment of that disease" Any one wishing further informa tion concerning the medicinal and food value of goats milk may secure literature by writing directly to Miss Miller at Saluda. Saluia Citizens May Build Lake Major Warren E. Hall To Make Survey of Propos ed Sites. Thf people of Saluda are actively interested in developing their re sort possibilities and with this in mind have determined to build a resort in the near vicinity. Sev eral sites have been examined, and today Major Warren E. Hall of Western North Carolina, Inc., jwlll makv a thorough survey of the sev eral proposed sites in order that an estimated cost may be fixed. There are several mountain streams which run through the ter ritory, and Mr. Hall will probably decide which is best suited for the development in mind. * Saluda is admirably situated for a summer resort and with their bus iness increasing every season the residents believe that the establish ment of a large lake in the vicinity *iU materially increase the influx next summer. With the Highway commission of South Carolina act ively interested in paving Route 19. the Appalachian Highway through from Columbia to the llne^ and an assurance from the State Highway Commission that they will meet the Palmetto official at that point with a modern highway, Saluda like every other town on the route scents increased prosperity and our fountain neighbors are not to be J left asleep at the switch^ ? 6- ? while speaking of small sums Wee dimes and nickels It was in teresting to read recently the State ment of a restaurant report to the National Restaurant Association fathered in convention at Chicago th*t because the Brazilian , govern ment controls the coffee market an<J Mmits exports to keep prices up and because restaurant expenses have advanced rapidly, people are actual ly being paid to drink coffee.

In any case the reflection isn't Quite as displeasing as his thumb nail sketch of the present president, Calvin Coolidge, which we ran last week. As you look at Mr. Davis's face you guess that he has qualities that Mr. Hughes lacked| that he is not all legal mind, that he has a foot knowledge of the world, that he jbat other tests of reality than what be put on paper. He calls himself a liberal. With out injustice he may be defined at a conservative with a wider troth ok. that Is, a wider ? outlook than Mr, Coolidge 's.

It Is not too much to say of Mr. Wil kie that to know him was to believe in him, and to know him, and to know him intimately was to admire and love him. \ Such friendliness, cheerfulness, kindness and helpfulness are not common in any community. They won for blm the devotion of hli friends, his family, and his patrons, not only here, but in his Chicago home, and at the summer resort on. Lake Michigan which he assisted in developing from a stone tower built by himself, to one of the finest and most extensive systems of sum mer cottages in Michigan.
