INCREASE THE MILK SUPPLY
Letter Received BY Mrs. M. D. Fritz
From Food Administrator

Letter Received BY Mrs. III. .. Fritz
From Food Administrator
st. Paul, May "a, 191S.-Mrs. NJ D.
Fritz: During the last six or eight
months the amount of milk consumed
in this state, particularly in the large
cities has decreased from eighteen
20 twenty per cent. This means that
a great many children as well as a
great many adults are not getting
the amount of milk and milk products
hat they should get. In some in
stances it has been found that the
people have substituted coffee for
milk in the childrens diet.
Because the children of today are
he adults Of tomorrow, the food
administration is concerned in the
consumption of milk at this time, and
urges that the use of milk be in
creased at least to the amount that
was consumed in normal pre-war
Tines, and an amount necessary to
he proper physical development of
the child.
The food administration is con-
2erned also because it is not only a
matter of making use of the milk we
now have, but it is necessary also to
ind a market for the milk that is
produced within the state the next
..vo months, SO that the dairy men
of the state will not become discour-
aged and sacrifice their herds and
turn to other occupations more re-
c)unerative
1t would be little short of a calamity
t it became necessary for the pro-
ducers of milk to reduce production
% such an extent that we could
not get milk except in very limited
Quantities.
For this reason the food admin
StratiOn is conducting throughout the
state a campaign to encourage the
greater use of milk and it's products
throughout Minnesota.
We are asking your assistance in
this campaign by requesting that you
AXE the matter up with members of
our clubs and distribute among them
IS much of the literature sent to you,
as is possible.
If you wish more of the material
we should be glad to send you q
supply. Yours very truly, A. D..
Wilson, Federal Food Administrator
for Minnesota.

YANKEES IN FRANCE EAT
OWN WEIGHT IN 81 DAYS
Vast Shipping and Food Problem
Emphasized as Overseas
Army Grows.

WASHINGTON. Sept. e. - Every
American soldier nghtlng In France cats
his own weight In food every thirty
seven days.
This statement was based IN figures
compiled by the Food Administration
and the Army Quartormastcr Generals
Department. The weight Of the Ameri-
can fighting man averages 100 pounds.
II gives some idea OF the tremendous
shipping problem facing the Allied Gov
crnmcnts ns tho American Army grows
TO vast proportions, II reveals that for
the l,750,O0O Yankees already embarked
from our shores. $50. 900. 900 bounds.
40 COO tons OF foodstuns must be

BY next July. when our army reaches
A,OOO,OOO men, $40, 1000. 900 pounds. $40. 600
tons OF foodstufrs must be sent over
every thirty seven days.
What this means In shipping may be
realized from the fact that during juno
last the United states shipped to all
Allied countries and neutrals only 1871, 81
$4,000 pounds OF foodstuffs.
