GOVERNMENT URGES
USE OF MORE MILK

Use all the milk you need. Do not
waste "A single drop of the precious
LIQUID. but use all that In necessary.
Take IL off the list of Injuries, and let
II replace other foods OF which our
armies and allies are Tn dire need.
This la the tone OF the latest milk
talk at the United States food Ad-
min!stration. Last year there was
great danger that the high cost Of
cattle feeds would cause the farmers
of the country to rid themselves OF
many OF their dairy cattle and ma
teriaily lessen the supply OF milk and
hutter-fat Because of the danger OF
shortage and increased prices too
MANY Families cut down their milk
orders and tried to substitute other
foods.
The milk shortage, however, was
not as real as It seemed. One great
reason for this was that many per-
sons insisted ION buying cream In
stead OF milk. 1t takes five quarts OF
milk TO produce one quart OF cream.
and oftentimes the skim milk left Is
not properly utilized. At any time,
and especially during war-times. the
only proper thing for American house
keepers to do Is to buy whole milk
use the cream for cereals and the
age.
Last January found the country
with 100000 more dairy cattle than
the year before, and there was the
prospect OF many OF the 1.1S5,o00
dairy heifers coming into production
some time this summer. Milk, even
though it remains at high price, IL
a food to be used in quantities when
1t Is available.
Never cut down on the amount Of
milk supplied to children. This has
always been the order OF the food
administration whether a shortage
seemed imminent or not. Neverthe-
less countless families have tried to
substitute other foods for their young
children. But there is no substitute
for milk. II is absolutely essential
to the growth of the body and is in
dispensahle to growing children. To
cut down the chtldren's milk ration
is to threaten the vitality of men and
women of the future
This perfect food" contains sugar
and fat to provide energy for the
body: mineral salts to build It up and
keep 1t In good conditions; and pro-
vein to make and renew body tissues,

TODAY as one of the smartest men in
the game.
He is a little pepper box. II is true,
