MILK AS STRENGTH
BUILDER ADVOCATED
Dr.. Mae CardweII, Back From
Washington, Advises .
Housewives.

DIR. Mae II. Cardwell, OF Portland,
who recently returned to Oregon from
Gary, Ind. New York and Washington,
where she was engaged in medical re-
search work for the Children's Bureau
Of the Department Of Labor, said In
an interview: THE dairy industries
must be encouraged. The children OF
America must have milk. They can
not thrive without good clean milk
Housewives must use more milk. II
they demand 1t the dairyman will find
some solution to his problems and will
see that his cows get the feed and that
be keeps them alive and in good
health. However, II the women don't
order the milk, the dairyman isn't go
ing to keep his cows around just as
pets and ornaments. Feed is too
scarce and labor too high for that. It's
up to the housekeepers.
Are you sending your breadwinners
10 work with all the vigor and strength
you can muster for them In the way OF
proper food" asks DIR. Cardwell. "If
they don't get the right food they can't
think or work well. The same applies
TO the school children. See that they
have milk to drink; milk in puddings
The kitchen is the power plant Of the
family and consequently. of the nation.
Don't waste drop OF milk or an
ounce Of butter, but use plenty The
health OF the nation is the kitchen
question. Milk is one of the main
factors in a diet"
7aby Expert breaches Greater Use
OF MIX.
A milk bill and healthy children 10
cheaper than doctors bill and an
underfed, undernourished child. II
would be cheaper to start right. So
says Mrs. A. Bayley. Of the Parents
Educational Bureau. Oregon Congress-
of Mothers, who has presided at the
testing OF thousands OF babies. She
finds the milkfed youngster Of three
or four years scores much higher than
the child who has had little milk in
his diet. Mrs. Bayley breaches a
greater use of milk for young and old. I
Dairy Commissioner Sees Encouraging
Signs.
]. d. Mickle, State Dairy and Food
Commissioner, stated recently that the
dairy situation, in spite of high prices
of feed and scarcity OF labor, is not all
gloom. Reports have come TO him
from various parts of the state show
ing that the housekeepers are begin
ming to see that they must pay more
for milk than they did few years ago.
The dairymen are beginning to take
heart, too, In some instances and are
looking to the future when the COW
Of today will be worth much more
money alive than she would now,
And that future isn't so
far off II the dairymen only continue
TO have courage and patience.
The wise man and the one who is
far-seeing, is keeping his herds intact
True, he won't keep the old boarder
who would just eat the food and bring
no returns, but he is holding his good
stock. The sensible housewife, too,
must know a man can't feed and care
or cows, keep first class dairy, and
provide clean bottles and well paid
ieliverymen without some expense. {
rhe Oregon Dairy Council is doing
much to get the situation Strengthened
,ut. The exhibit at the state fair, the
plendid cooperation OF the Food Ad-
the pubic schools, Ore c
'on Agricultural College and the Bu- Q
eau OF Health, all help the educational :
york and are part Of the great task OF
keeping the home fires burning"
Which task includes the preservation 0
4 essential home industries and the
ealth of the nation.
