CAM0UFLAGE MILK
Demonstrators Show How it Can Be Given to Children in Various Forms.

About 125 people attended the dem- onstration in making various dish es With milk, which was held at Berk- oWitz's grocery and market on North Main street, yesterday afternoon. The purpose of this demonstration was to encourage people to use more milk products which can be shipped to the Allies.
 In addition to the older people who attended the emonstration many children gathered around the window to look at the exhibit. This showed a bottle of milk and from it red, white and blue streamers leading out to it's energy equivalent in lamb, beef, GEES, and codfsh. All these articles of food cost from two to four times as much as the quart of milk
 Some of the women who attended the demonstration said that their children did not like milk and would not drink it. In order to help the mothers overcome this difficulty the demonstrators prepared several milk dishes and camouf1aged them, so that they would be readily eaten by chil- dren who did not care for milk. In this way the child will receive the constituents in milk which are nec- essary for healthy growth
 Demonstrations on milk and cot tage cheese making are being held today and tomorrow at Dickinson's Drug Store on Main street
 Miss Helen Bishop and Miss Eliza beth Buckley of the Connecticut Agri- cultural college cooperating with the Hartford County league and Farm Bureau are giving the demonstrations.

THE PRICE YOU PAY

q know I ought to take treatment; I have been running down for the last year or two. I am all Jagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night, don't care whether I am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work I used to do some years ago. If l were as strong as I was, I could earn good s good specialist, but I cannot afford money. I know l ought to treat with to pay for the treatment"
 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get 1t.
 Let me tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends more than his interest
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can- not work and earn what you used to. Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital-which is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make a living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you You spend it. And what do you get for 1t. Worry, anxiety, despondency, want and deprivation for your family The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an expense. It is an investment. And in return you get increased working 2 ability, higher wages, health and hap piness at home.
 Which will you choose?
 Can you hesitate? Dr.ClintonJ J.Hyde Specialist in Nervous and Chronic
