And that docs not mean that

PROPER CARE
OF BEST FOOD

The question of whether or not we
milk in our Hooverized diet is one
that has bsen npally and we'll settled
by the Federal Food Board. The con-
siusion definitely set forth by that
Commission not only Is that 'the more
milk We use At present the better It
will BE- for our country" but that we
are actually reducing tho cost of Iiv-
ing for ourselves when we use more
milk
In order TO be sure that the milk we
use is I'm the best possible condition
we ought to take precautions against
eontamination. and. especially during
he warm months. we ought to guard
against tho possibility OF milk sourinR
Or being exposed to the visits of fies.
One OF the best of all devices for
making sure that your milk bottles are
Sept from contamination from tho
lime they are delivered on your porch
or doorstep tiil you take them in the
house IS ono Of the new milk bottle

At the present time II IS especially

have a weekly conference with III"

Moreover. they know the ever changing

Perhaps you noticed that word came
from the Food Administration that we
might use as much as we chose of such
things as oxtails. kidneys. tripe,
tongues and other parts Of the beef
that are not counted as meat cuts"
and are not exported.
In some localities when the house
wife asked for oxtaIls She was simply
informed that there were none. This
was confusing If she had asked the
butcher why this was she would have
been told that IN that particular vi
cinity all oxtaIs that came into market
were frozen. and that frozen oxtails
were not havorsome enough for good

butcher is a worried individual He
carries a large part Of the responsi-

However. now that cooks and house
