NO SUBSTITUTES FOR MILK

You get what lyou pay for when you buy milk. Why is it that the American housewife fails so often to see the true value of milkg Why does she curtail the use of milk immediately upon it's rise in price? Why does she accept the increase in price of all other foods and merely attribute it to war conditions?
 This is an era of substitution. We can substitute numbers of cereals for wheat; several forms of sweets for sugar; legumes, cheese, nuts, etc., for meat; vegetable oils for animal fats, but have we found a substitute for milk Milk has certain properties definitely essential to child growth and since there is no suitable substi- get its daily allowance of one, quart if possible, or at least one pint, does not and cannot normally develop.
 Study statistics regarding malnutri- tion, much of which is due to lack of milk in the diet. No housewife should pass this subject over lightly, for the members of the family, especially the children, eat whatever is prepared for them. Therefore, the housewife in a. large measure is directly responsible for the physical condition of the mem bers of the household.
 Every day the milk order should be attended to with care. Provide at least noe. pint for each child from four to ten years old, one quart for younger ones, and one glass day for each adult. This seems large amount if the family is large, and especially if the housewife has prided herself on getting along with a pint a day. If this rule for using milk is kept up, there will be a marked i'm provement in the health of the family not hitherto accustomed to it's use
 Milk is an ideal summer food and surprisingly large number of people, men included, are glad to have milk form the main part of the meal once day. Milk is not a "drink or favor" it is food of great value. The Food Administration states that consider ing the high cost of foodstuffs, the scarcity of labor, and other unto ward conditions, milk has increased less in price in proportion to the cost of producing it than almost any other important food. Milk is necessary for children; it is most valuable for adults, especially now, as meat substitute; it is necessary to our agriculture. To live up to our responsibility of he1p- ing feed the wrold, we should do everything in our power to increase milk production in this country"
