��Popular How Would You Like to Wear a Bell Shaped Helmet With Shutters?

CLARENCE L. STOCKS, of Blue Ridge, Georgia, has invented a helmet which offers complete protection to a soldier's head. It is bell-shaped and con- sists of an outer and inner casing, the lat- ter having attached to its interior two head bands to conform with the shape of the head. The helmet has flaring lower edges to protect the neck as well as the o^^^^^^'-^a head. Two sight openings are pro\ided in front for the eyes. However, the inventor has not neglected the wearer's nose and mouth. Two shutters fit snuglyagainst the sight openings and are hinged to the outer casing so that they may be opened or closed as desired. U-shaped springs between the inner and outer casings are placed so as to reduce the shock from

shell - splin-

ters or bullets which may hit the helmet. The objection to this helmet would seem to be the limiting of the wearer's vision, for how can a man see quickly all around him through two Sinall holes? It would certainlv' be very hot too.

The Amazing Nanny. Her Milk Is Worth Fifty Cents a Quart

IT, Doctor. I have tried everything!" When some an.xious mother whose baby is suffering from under-feeding makes this rash statement, the medical gentle- man appealed to is likely to smile en- couragingly and ask, "What about goat's milk?"

Then in reply to the woman's curious or repelled expression he may explain the interesting experi- ments which took place at the Michael Reese Hospital in Chi- cago, where sick ba- bies were fed on goat's milk with astonish- ingly good results.

So prepare to ap- preciate poor, ma- ligned"Nanny." Here is a list of her virtues compiled by Mrs. Jes- sie H. Watson, who has a goat farm at Wycombe, Pa., and considers herself qualified to testify.

Nanny has brought back to health, not only many sick babies, but adults afflicted

with indiges- tion or tu- berculosis. She is the healthiest domestic animal in the world. She is non-tuber- cul ar and gives pure milk, of rich quality and fine flavor. She can be kept in much smaller quarters than a cow requires.
