a race of healthy, bright-eyed chill
dren ready for any task. However.
the department and food administra-
tion suggest if sometimes these meals
seem 100 much work. bread and milk
make good meal.
Too great stress cannot be laid on
milk as perfect food for children.
1t is found to contain all the essen
tial elements for normal human
growth and development. DR.. Men
denhalI of the children's bureau. says
milk is in a sense a complete food:
that if used as the sole food it will
sustain life and allow growth.
at is used as an exclusive diet for
young children" he declared. but
after infancy supplementary foods
need to be Included in the diet for the
best development. For one reason.
milk. which. in respect to ali its in
gradients. ranks among the most di-
gestible of animal foods. is so COM
pletely digested that there is prac-
tically no waste. Though this COM
plete digestibilify renders milk one
of the most efficient foodstuffs. a GER
tain amount of non-digestible mater
ial in the food. so-called roughage. is
necessary to regulate the discharges
from the digestive tract. For this
reason and for several others a mixed
diet after the first year of life is bet
ter than an exclusive milk diet"
That the educational movement for
the saving of the nations children by
nourishing food is meeting with
agreeable results is shown in the
enormous increase of milk stations
for the distribution of milk at a
small cost and the demonstration
kitchens springing up everywhere for
the instruction Of children as well
as parents.
AT all demonstration kitchens a
comparative schedule of prices is
given and explained as guide in
buying food. and showing. that the
most expensive is not always the
most nutritious.

at noon when SKINNED milk is sold
at cents a quart and whole milk at
a trifie more This milk is also given
to those who cannot buy.
Hartford. Conn.,. has established
these milk stations, also community
kitchens where school children can
get wholesome food at the noon hour
for a nominal price, and rich whole
milk at 10 cents a quart. This means
a lot when it is shown by demonstra-
tion agents out in the state of Wy
oming that in five countries 48 per
cent of absence from school was due
to illness caused by improper feed
ing.
When 1t is considered how fast
children grow, how new muscles and
bones and all other parts of the body
are made from the food which the
child eats. the necessity for clean.

plenty of milk. cereals, vegetables.

is apparent.
The Department of Agriculture has
prepared a series of leaflets comprfs-
ing menus for children which are
most helpful. Begin the .child's day
with good breakfast consisting of
milk. corn meal Rush. apple sauce.

Paris island, 8. C-'"Tell it to the
marines"
"That's all the comfort superstitious
negroes got when they whispered, to
white scoffers, of buried pirate treas
ure on little island near here.
But that was years and years ago,
long before United States marines es-
tabllshed their recruit depot at Paris
Island for the training Of navy soldiers
for duties on land, at sea and in the
air.
The negroes had 1t that Jean Lafitte,
the swashbuckling pirate Of the Next
can gulf, had buried treasure chest
near Paris Island. And so they told
their children and their children told
the United States marines when they
established a recruit depot at Paris
Island in 1914.
Why Not, Indeedl
In these days Of intensive training
for troops, trenches must be dug in Or
der to truly simulate west front con-
ditions.
Well, then, why not dig the trenches
somewhere near the spot negro tradi-
ton said the pirate treasure lay?
Not that the marines had any idea
there was treasure there. Oh, no!
You can tell marines whole lot Of
things but to get them to believe them
is another matter. World travellers
that they are, they are sophisticated,
If not blase.
Still, digging away over the site of
the buried treasure would add new
zest to the task-would get the
trenches completed in Jig time, and
would prove to the darkies that the
whole thing was myth.
Now then, here's the spot our story
begins to differentlate from the ED.
