complained at the end of the summer
that he was "stuck" on his stock of lit
tie white collins, and explained his error
of judgment on the grounds that a new
milk law had gone into operation, spoke
the last word on this score. There are
''vicious circles" in many economic prob

the most circular and the most vicious
of them all.

voice, that the farmer is poor mana
ger? That the very fact that we can't
find out what the cost of production is
shows that he has no control of his bust
ness? Are the by-products of a dairy
farm properly evaluated? Perhaps milk
production should be side issue and
not the main business of the farn1-at
least, of the small farm. Many another
business has turned loss to profit by
skilful management and attention to de-
tails and by-products.'
We must either show the farmer how
to improve his methods or pay him more
money. There is no use in telling him
that he must produce milk at loss. He
will merely sulk, kill his cows and ask
you to show him city patriot who will
continue to run his business at a loss.
1t is also possible that careful reor-
ganization of delivery systems would
cut down the cost of distribution. This
includes, however, collection and trans
portation by train, and it seems to be

door marked "Price of Production,
Plus Profit for the Farmer"

Unless we can, by improved methods
of production and distribution, bring
wholesome milk within the reach even of
the poor the government must take q
hand, either by substituting or by itself
producing or at least istributing-just
as it does in the case of water. And for
large and important part Of our popula-
ton milk is just as essential to health
and we'll being as water is.
This is not a general socialistic
scheme; it is recognition Of the special
nature and Importance Of milk. When
we drop the milk question from the
standpoint of the farmer, the distributor
and even the pocketbook of the con-
sumer and consider it from the view
point of the baby and his necessity ii. e.,
the health Of the next generation), this
seems to be the only answer.
This is not matter of sentiment. 1t
is question Of public health and race
futures. Here, Madam Voter, with your
brand new ballot in hand, is funda-
mental home and state problem, ripe for
nome study and public action. It is
typical of the home problems which can
be solved only by the state. Hence,

Milk is necessary to the well-being
and life of that important part Of our
population which is from one day to
three years Of age. Adults can live with
out meat or milk, wheat or sugar, if they
get enough of something else. But the
baby must have milk or perish, and

Let Uncle Sam Try Be-
ing the Milkman

many Of the invalided or old are in near
ly the same case.
And now for action, based on facts.
1t milk cannot be produced except at
prohibitive price, and it is essential to
the well-being of the race, why not pro-
vide it and be taxed for it, just as we
are for water and for public schools? 1t
costs greater New York approximately
$3,326,358 year for it's water. If it be
urged that some would use much more
milk than others, then we have a de-
llghtful solution whereby the bachelor
girls and men and the childless-es-
pecially the childless rich-may be taxed
direct, as has been many times suggest
ed, for the maintenance of the babies.
Why would not vision of tenement
and Riverside babies receiving alike
their tested sanitary milk, delivered
by the Board of Health (Which
must inspect the supply anyway
through delivery system from local.
lied supply houses, thus doing away
with all duplication, appeal to any one?
We doubt if more popular tax could
be levied or a municipal party stay in
power If it fell down on its milk pro-
gramme. At least, we should protect
the public health, safeguard the coming
generation, eliminate the profit neces-
sary on private enterprise and reduce
the costs so far as unifcation would do
this.
Here's to Uncle Sam as a milkman,
Its fine "compensating" line of bust
ness, fitting avocation-for a warrior!

you that he will be satisfied with the
cost of production, plus a profit, you will
hear a squeal from the baby at once.
When cost is assured, why should the
farmer care what it is; and the labor
and feed-the main items of cost-will
skyrocket at will.
Somewhere in the circle there must
be fixed point, or you have a "dizzy
whizz," an ascending spiral which will
soon place the product out of reach. And
decreased demand means fall in selling
price, especially when the product is
perishable.
We might let the economic law take
its course and necessity work out a
readjustment-if it we're not for the
baby's literally crying needs. Making
water run up hill is a pleasant recreation
compared to the difficulty of fixing a
price regardless of the laws of supply
and the control of the costs entering
into production.

TIME food value of honey is not generally
comprehended. 1t is really a nour-
L ishing food as we'll a sweet and
should be given freely to children. Spread
thicky on bread, it is very wholesome for
them. In cooking, too, honey may often be
substituted for sugar; in fact, some foods are
greatly improved by sweetening with honey
instead Of sugar.
One generally thinks of honey as something
fitted for dessert only; but in the foreign
countries it is used for nearly every course
and in every case with great success Baked
foods keep better when prepared with honey
instead of sugar, because the honey seems to
retain the moisture in cakes, etc, so that they
remain luscious and mellow for an indefinite
time Cakes made of honey are usually left
to "rpen" day or two, in order to develop
the honey flavor. Add three tablespoonful
Of honey to baked beans and note the flavor
Of the beans when it is used in place OF mo-
asses.
Ham cured with honey makes dish fit for
the gods. 1t is prepared in this way:
CURING HAM WITH HONEY
This is favorite recipe in France and is
well worth the trying.
First make a brine Of four pounds OF
coarse salt and an ounce of saltpetre, to
which is added two pounds of honey and two
gallons of water This is left to blend for
twenty-four hours; then the ham is immersed
in it and left in the honeyed brine for six
weeks When removed at the end Of that
time the ham is found to be permeated with
an indescribably delicious favor.
FRUITS PRESERVED IN HONEY
Fruits preserved in honey instead Of sugar
are delicate and rich to a degree. The fruit
and honey blend into rare flavors.
Prepare fruit as usual for canning. Put
on to boil When the fruit is ready for can
ming add the honey; do not boil, but let it
come just to the boiling point Have the
Jars ready, clean and very hot, put in the
fruit and seal Use the same quantity of
honey as you would of sugar.

down or before, until the COWS come
home in the dewy eve.
The distributor had proved to inquir-
ING experts that the retail delivery of a
nerishable product such as milk cost
him as much as it did the farmer to pro-
duce it. and that he, too, was much
abused man.
And the consumer, especially if she
had babies, simply said that she wasn't
interested in the details, but that the
habv had to have milk or die and that
she couldn't buy it at the prices at which
it was being sold.
The farmer calls attention to the facts
that the food for his cattle is steadily
going up and that labor is both scarce
and high. The distributor must also
nav his men more. and the price of horse
feed or of motor feed is steadily mount
ing. The baby's stomach refuses to rec
ocnize these economic changes.

"The Journal of the American Medical
Association recently emphasized the
Intimate relation between the cost of
milk and the public health, and pointed
out that the economic and sanitary is
sues in this case cannot be ignored. AL
ready in New York the production of
milk has decreased and the use of
cheaper grades of milk increased. Ac-
companying these facts, it was found
that 2,148 children under six years of
age were drinking tea and coffee, and
the infant mortality rate was increas-
ing. Of course, there may have been
other reasons, but the milk situation is
undoubtedly one contributing factor.
1t is also reported that in Rochester,
N. Y, fifty-seven dealers were travelling
thirty miles to deliver milk to three
hundred and sixty-three homes, where
the same service could have been fur
nished by one distributor travelling two
miles. "Enuf sed.'

to throw all antag-

consider the milk

from the standpoint
