ONE HALF CUP OF MILK

Washington, d. c., May 16-Half a
cup Of milk-whole, skinned or sour

worth the trouble to keep or use.
In many households, quite a little
milk is wasted-left uncovered in
glasses--regarded as useless because
the cream has been skinned Off
allowed to sour-poured down the
sink or thrown out.
Now il every home-there are TO-
100000 of them-should waste on the
average one-half cup daily, it would
mean a waste of 100000 quarts daily
--S12, $4,000 q quarts a year-the to-
tai product of more than 100000 cows.
1t takes lot of grass and grain
to make that much milk--and an
army of people to produce and de-
liver 1t.
But, every household doesn't waste
a half cup of milk a day? Well, say
that one-half cup is wasted In only
one out Of a hundred homes. Still
