This largely depends upon our daily diet. To the average consumer milk is milk, and he pays for it by the quart with practically no knowl. edge of its food value. Vet pure milk is the most of all foods, and in this' light should demand the attention of every thoughtful housewife and mother. Milk in a weak and unsound state can bear the seeds of sickness and disease.

Place I3 Promptly Raided by Police, and Youngsters Are Back In School Wow. A gambling club for school boys, located In the back yard of 25 President street, has been raided and put out of business by Attendance Officer Ludcke and the plain clothesmen of the Hamilton avenue station. The real name of the or ganization is the Columbus Club, but the people in the neighborhood called It "The President Street Junior Black Hand Society. How long It has been flourishing It Is hard to tell, but It Is certain that It was the resort of 'nearly thirty boys between the ages of 12 and 16. and that they spent their time there gambling and drinking the soft wares of the candy store In front.

Ever since school started Officer Ludeke has been occupied with breaking up several gangs In the Red Hook section and the old South Brooklyn district, and he was successful, except in one instance There was a certain set of boys who played truant brazenly almost every day, but where they kept themselves was a mystery belli to pareats and teachers. The attendance officer patrolled tho docks and the vacant lots and other favorite haunts of the delinquent boy, with which Mr. Ludeke is familiar, from his long experience, but all search for the missing gang was In vain till one day recently he captured three little shavers on lower President street. In-their reciprocal accusations they blurted out the whole Btory of the gambling club, where tho "hookey players" hid themselves while schools were In session. The clubhouse was a wooden shack in th? rear of a candy store at 23 President street.

The store also had a back room with pool tables, which served as a hang out for the older boys, who were through scnooi. Backyard Clubroom Has Dice, Card Tables and Other Gambling Appurtenances. In this backyard clubroom were chairs and card tables and dice boxes and various, other appliances for games of chance. The boys said they paid thi manager or tne candy store 15 cents a montn each for the privilege of membership In the club, and the chance' for hiding from the truant officers. The regular-sessions of the club were held on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays when usuolly a game palled seven and a half was played for stakes of to cents.

One boy who was arrested later on the charge of truancy admits he was a member of tho club for several months, but that he was the president of the organization, as claimed by Mr. Ludeke. he mouestly denies. He says he used to win from $1.30 to a $1.40 quite often. Ho puts the charter membership of the club at seventeen.

As soon as the news leaked out about the Columbus Club the truant officer saw a great light. He took his three captives to school right off and left them there with the instructions that they be Kept tnero tne rest or tne flay. But somehow the word was passed out of the building that there was trouble coming fur the "Junior Black Hand Society," for when the attendance officer with Plalnclothesmen McClunn, Carney, Konney and Gill of the Hamilton avenue station made a raid on the backyard shanty that afternoon, the place was empty.

McManus was dragged Into the hallway by Mrs. McKenzle and through artificial respiration his life was saved, at least for a time, by Officer Samuel Rabau of the Flushing avenue precinct, who ran all the way from the station house as soon as the call for help was turned In. Calls for help brought Mrs. Florence Bennett, a neighbor and a friend, to the room. Mrs.

Bennett turned off the gas that was escaping from the Jets In the room and tho two women together dragged Mrs. McManus to a place where she could get more air.

Ho hurried for tho neurest telephone and did all that he could after sending the message. In the meantime the household was In great confusion. A report went out that there was a suicide compact between husband and wife, but this could not be verineu.

30. BOYS MUST BE EXAMINED. Principals Directed to Get a Physician's Certificate Before Boys Can Ee in Athletics. The city superintendent of schools, Dr. William H.

Maxwell, has laken steps to protect all the boys of the elementary schools from overexertion In athletics, and has Issued to-day the fallowing or- ders to all the principals of public schools: "In tho future all boys desiring to compete in athletics must be examined by the physician assigned to your school, and a certificate; stating the results ot this examination, should be sent to the director of physical training. with tho entry blank. In district or school games tho certificate should- accompany the entry blank when it Is transmitted to the responsible director of the games. "When pupils are sent to the physician for this examination kindly furnish them with a slip, bearing the name of tho pupil and the statement that he is to be examined tor athletics. He should also carry with him his school record eard.

The physician will make the neces- the entry blank. DR. VAN DYKE'S LECTURE. Fair Play and Democracy His Subject at the Academy of Music. Music Hall.

Academy of Music, held one Qf Its largest audiences last evening. when Professor Henry van Dyke, Ph.D., LL.D., of Princeton University, was escorted to the St. Clair McKel-way. LL.D., who said he came to identify, int.nnni,. th.

Dti.ntnr Tn thia Dr. ke rei0ined, "Now that I have been Identified I suppose that I can get my check ca3hed anywhere here." "Fair play, In Its deepest eusonce. Is a kind of religion. It is a recognition that there ara other beings In the universe besides and a recognition of the truth of 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them; for this Is the law and the prophets." But, In its ordinary working, fair play Is not put Into religious terms," said the lecturer when opening the topic, "Fair Play and Democracy." which formed the second of his Brooklyn Institute lectures on "The American Spirit in American Literature." "Democracy is a house of many stories but with no locked doorways and good stairways. We even run an elevator called said Dr.

van Dyke, adding. "It means what President Roosevelt meant in the 'uquare deal for everybody." Think what vou like about his policy, the 'square deal' Is and ought to tie the spirit of America." Religious freedom also makes for the continuance of democracy and fair play, and there Is practically no church in America that desires the union of church and state because the churches have prospered in freedom. "Of course, some of them need money," eaid Dr. van Dyke. "They ought to or they are not living up to their opportunity.

It is the same way with a college or a university. If such Is not poor something is the matter with It. Men value what tney pay for provided they pay for what they MISSOURI IS HERE. Battleship's Presence Not Believed Due to Nicaraguan Situation. The battleship Missouri came into port to-day from Newport.

"FIXINS" ALSO EXPENSIVE. Nearly Everything for the Annual Feast Has Risen This Year to Top-Notch Prices. Resplto the gloomy warnings of th statisticians who have figured It all on? carefully and found that the pendulum o'.

cost has swung back to Civil War times, the Indications are that very few of thosa who could afford a Thanksgiving turkey; with "flxlns" last year will forego theni this year. Tho butcher, therefore, with his sched ule of high prices prominently displayed in his windows, is blandly and blithely sharpening his knife, the while the gob-blurs that still remain nllve look on with stern but unavailing disapproval. Tho grocer, too, Is extraordinarily busy, lad ling out cranberries, wrapping up pump kins and minco for pies, and providing all the other toothsome and alluring thlng3 which give the coming holiday lit greatest gastronomic appeal. Thanksgiving Turkeys to Range in Price From 17 to 35 Cents a Pound. After it is all over, of course, and the householder and his groeer and butcher come face to face for a financial reckoning the aforesaid householder who has smacked his lips over that turkey, or filled himself to repletion with that cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, may w-pent under the remorseful Influence of a flattened purse, but that is for later on According to one set of figures offered a Thanksgiving dinner this year will tho costliest it has been in many years.

The cost of turkeys ranges all the way from the very prime price of do or sa ccnB a ))0UIUi, which only the well to do can anora, aown to 20 cenm a yuuuu to 20 cents hlch the man with a large family and a small salary may not be able to afford, but will get, nevertheless. In some rare instances turkey3 may be bought as low as 17 cents a pound. It is estimated that the very lowest a man with a family of six can spend for a good turkey for six alone will be $4.20. Then ho has all the other accessories to buy, which, one expert on figures declares, will make a full dinner down to coffee coat the man with a family ot six about $8.40. In view of this fact, various persons whose salaries shrink from before such an amount are going to do without some of the minor luxuries but the turkey, the cranberry sauce and the pumpkin pie they will have, no matter what happens.

Cost of Thanksgiving Dinner Just After the War Was Same as Now. Back Just after tho war times, it Is pointed out, a man could get a turkey for six for just exactly what It will cost him this year namely, $4.20. This comparison Is offered to show the astonishing advance in the cost of living In these modern times. Celery, too, It Is declared, Is just as high now as It was in 1819, and mince pies, oysters, olives, radishes everything. In fact, save bread and butter, cranberries and sweet potatoes.

According to this same statistician the banner year of all tho years between the just after the war times and now was I8H9. when a man with a family of six could get a good Thanksgiving dinner for $4.80, or just a little more than a turkey alone will cost him thia time. The difference in the cofit of turkeys results from different methods of feeding. Those intended for the tables ot gourmets who like the flesh to ail-but fall to pieces on the fork, are attended to carefully and fattened tenderly by the dealers for the holiday trade. The prieo Is accordingly sent up when the turkeys are ready for the market.

The other kind of turkeys that are Intended for the medium class of trade and the 20-cent-a-meal restaurants, ore not raised eo carefully nor given as good things to cat, and their value, therefore, comes relatively lower. TO BE SEPARATE OFFICES. Nassau Supervisors Vote to Do Away With Dual Office of Surrogate and Judge. (Special to the Eagle.) Mlneola, L. November 23 The Nass sau County Board of Supervisors yester dny afternoon adopted a resolution providing that the office of surrogate of Nass sau County shall be a separate and that a surrogate shall be elected at the general election to be held In the county in 1910.

This action of the board was taken under tho provisions of Section 231. Artlelo XIV of the county law, and because of the many representations which had been made to the board that the business of the office would so materially Increase within the next few years that no one man could handle it and also perform the duties of county judge. Tho office of county judge and surrogate is held by Judge Jackson, whose term expires next year, when his successor for a term of six years will be elected. The question of salary for ths surrogate Is to be referred to the Legislature, as the Constitution provides. HERBIE O'FLYNN DEAD.

Noted Crescent Lacrosse and Hockey Player Passes Away at Modoc, Ontario. Word was received here this morning that Herbert W. O'Flynn. the former star lacrosse player, of the Crescent Athletio Club, died yesterday In Canada. The funeral will bo held to-morrow at his former home in Modoc.

Ontario. O'Flynn was a graduate of the University of Toronto, where he played lacrosse for many years! He came to Brooklyn several years ago and joined the Crescent Athletic Club. He played on both the lacrosse and hockey teams of the New-Moon club. O'Flynn married four years ago and moved to Manhattan, but still remained member of the Brooklyn organization. Reverses In Wall Street affected his miud early In ten spring and he was sent to a private sanatorium in Canada.

The news of Herbie O'Flynn's death will come as a sad blow to his friends in Brooklyn. William Bass, manager of the lacrosse team of the Crescent A. to-day sent a telegram of sympathy in the name of the club to the family ot the deceased. Young O'Flynn is survivd by a wide and a little daughter, Wwl FHt MAN City Supt. Maxwell Will Urge Board of Education to Stop Games.

RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS. President Winthrop Favors Permitting Scheduled Games to Be Played on That Day. Tho Board of Education will decide tomorrow afternoon whether football shall be prevented on Thanksgiving Day by the boys of the high schools or whether they shall be permitted to finish their schedules for the year. Dr. Maxwell wants the game, with Its mass play and con-sequencent liability to serious accidents, stopped immediately.

Others In the Board of Education are willing that the scheduled games shall go on. The debate is likely to be long and Interesting. General George W. W'ingate. the father of the Public Schools Athletic League, will argue for the continuance of the game, and certainly will Insist that the games already scheduled shall be permitted.

President Egerton L. Winthrop, Is not likely to take any part In the discussion; but his views on the subject are always known to and they have great influence with many of the members. "I am opposed to football, as It Is now played, for the boys In our schools," said Mr. Winthrop this morning, to the reporter of tho Eagle, In discussing the matter. "I saw the Princeton-Yale game and the game, and there was no one Injured In either.

But the game is one for strong men, who have been trained for the work. With our boys it is different. They are not In training long enough to become athletes. It Is In the mass playing that accidents usually happen. With that eliminated the game would be comparatively safe.

Of courso football is not a parlor game. I am. however. In favor of allowing the schools to play their Thanksgiving games this year. That will close tho season, and next year.

If the game be not mod-lUed, there will be no football." President Winthrop Informed the reporter that Dr. Maxwell wanted all high school football games on Thanksgiving Day called off. "Yes. I am opposed to the playing of football games between high school boys on Thanksgiving Day," said he, and hiB tone was emphatic, am opposed to the present form of football that Is, the mass play. Until that Is eliminated fool-ball should be abolished In the schools.

It should be stopped at once, and all Thanksgiving Dav games by high school boyj should be prohibited. All the games together are not worth a broken arm or leg of one of the boys. And we would be responsible for any mishap." There Is to be a meeting to-morrow morning of- the Public Schools Athletic League to decide what position It should take In the matter. General Wlngato Is the president of the league. It will probably decide to ask Its friends on the Board of Education to oppose the resolution of the Board of Superintendents by which the game will he abolished, If approved by the Board of Education.

What was aid for publication was tempered mora or less with the knowledge that it would be for the eyes of the judges as well as for other readers of the Eagle. Colonel William N. Dykman of the firm of Dykman, Oeland Kiihn: "I am wholly against any proposition to move the tourthouso eny considerable distance from1 the Borough Hall.

Lawyers with offices In in Brooklyn and lawyers with offices In Manhattan go from one courthouse to thd other, and unnecessary distance between tho eourtbouses Increases oy so much tn losses of time and Inconveniences the So great a portion of tho courthouse business here Is done by Manhattan lawyers that their convenience should receive careful consideration by the judges." John Hill Morgan of the law firm of McKecn, Brewster Morgan I am opposed to the placing of tho new Court on tho Prospect Park Plaza. It Is too far away from where the business Interests of Brooklyn are centered. The Court House Building should be convenient to the county clerk's office, as well as to the great business offices that have grown up about the Borough Hall and the present Court House site. A site so far removed from our offices could not help but be very inconvenient, not only to lawyers, but to litigants and witnesses.

The site now abandoned, or some site adjacent, would be Ideal for a new Court House Building. I see no disadvantage to the Heights from the placing of a new Court House Building there. Just thluk of the capital invested in office buildings down town that will be affected by such a revolutionary change. The entire First Ward Is affected by It. Calls Scheme "Impossible." P-anklln Taylor I have never heard of so impossible a scheme.

What about the convenience of lawyers? It is hard enough to make a living as it is. A petition sent around would undoubtedly re-ec'te the signature of every attorney in Brooklyn and most of those tn Manhattan against It. J. Oration McMahon The disadvan tages to practicing attorneys of a site sol removed from their offices and the nxea center oi legal activities are so great as to create in the minds of nearly' every lawyer an Instinctive opposition to 'the plan. The present site has been so long known to the people that It would aeem to be a serious mistake to attempt to re-establish another legal center in Brooklyn.

The advantages certainly do not compensate for the disadvantages. Robert H. Roy: "I haven't given much attention to the project, but my disposition Is rather unfavorable to removing the Supreme Court and Appellate Division eo far from the present court house build ing." Edward Kauffmann: "I have no objection to the new court house going up on me park piaza. Frank Obernler: "To put the new court nouse so far away from the present court house is to do injustice to many people. How about the lawyers with long leases in their preaent offices? What would be the matter with the big plot in the rear of tne Temple Bar building?" Assistant District Attorney Elder Opposed to Plan.

Assistant District Attorney Robert H. Elder; "My opinion is that the change as proposed is a very bad one. This is the center of the business life of Brooklyn and will be for a long time, and the new court house should be where the center of the business life Michael E. Flnnegan I can remember that the same project was mooted away back In 1853 and now, as then, the site is too far away from the business center or me Dorougn. Near the present court house are the county clerk's and register's offices, the tax office, the bureaus of assessment and other bureaus and mu-' nlclpal offices and the Health Department Building.

Lawyers having business In the Supreme Court would be subjected to tremendous Inconvenience. Frank X. McCaffry I thing it ought to be In a more desirable locality and one not so remote from the present court house. George W. McKenzle I think It would be a far better scheme to keep the new court house building down town.

Nothing to Commend Such a Selection Ex-Senator Thomas C. Whitlock: "Such a selection strikes me as having nothing to commend it. It would be extremely Inconvenient for, the attorneys already long located near the old court house site." Peter P. Smith: "I think the new court house building should' be handy for the lawyers and to put the building up on the plaza would make it anything but handy." Joseph Tollns: "A court house building up on the plaza would be entirely out of the way. I think you will find that this to be the consensus of every lawyer down town." Victor Kane: "I have always thought the Plaza an Ideal place for an appellate court building, but when the question of convenience of lawyers and litigants arises, as It does when a general court Is discussed, then it Is different, and a general court house building should be convenient for the masses of the people." Darwin J.

Meserole, manager for the City Co-operative Law Company: "If we had a subway anywhere near the proposed site on the Plaza, I should be In favor of a new court house being constructed there; otherwise I am unalterably opposed to its removal to a distance from the prsent court house site." Cha-les H. Kely I want to see the new Court House building down town, although I live on the Park Slope, and. of course, the idea of ft fine, monumental structure there appeals to the sense of the beautiful, but downtown is more convenient for lawyers, especially for those lawyers frequently called to courts In Manhattan. Harry E. Shirk I don't think the lawyers or-, their events will favor the change, because it Is too far out of the way.

It may be all right for a few at torneys who can sunport automobiles, but the working members of the profession will look upon such a proposal with anything but favor, I am sure.
