"You will recall that in some parts

MEAT And MILK

Lusk, a noted authority 0n nutri-
E ton, makes the statement Chat the
working man with three children
should buy three quarts of milk fol
every pound of ?meat he Buys. The
economy of this rule will be seen in
the better growth and health Of the
children, their exemption from sick
ness, and the superior health of the
parents. Somehow, it seeTns difficult
to persuade this working man in this
country of the great va1lre and econ
omy of plenty of milk and milk prod
ucts, particularly cheese. In Eng
land the laboi1ng men had learned
their lesson III this respect and they
have always been the greatest con-
sumers of American cheese, If every
working man would set himself to
work to study out the best daily diet
for himself and his family, he would
soon come to see how wonderfully
milk and milk products prove to be
the cheapest ana at the same time the
best sustainers OF the body Snder the
strain of work and growth.
