MILK IS ESSENTIAL
FOOD FOR CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT IN THEIR DIET
AS LONG AS IT Is
POSSIBLE.
BuTTER-FAT Is NEEDED
Milk Contains the Food Elements In
Available Form For Ready
Digestion.

For the proper nourishment OF the
child it is essential that milk should
be kept in the diet as long as possi-
BILE. according to the Food Admins
tration. Not only does it contain all
the essential food elements in the
most available form for ready diges-
ton, but the recent scientific discov-
cries show 1t to be especially rich in
certain properties that alone render
growth possible.
This essential quality makes it al
so of special value In the sick room.
In hospitals 1t has also been shown
that the wounded recover more rap
idly when they have milk
For the purpose Of stimulating
growth, and especially in children,
butter fat has no substitute. During
this winter when much agitation arose
In some of the larger cities over the
price of milk, which was advanced
from two or three cents per quart by
reason Of the rapid rise in the cost Of
feed and labor, many families among
the poorer classes were found giving
their children tea and coffee instead
Of milk Such methods Of feeding fail
to nourish the child properly. The
widest possible publicity should be
carried on through public channels to
bring these essential facts to the at
tention of all mothers.
In spite Of the shortage of milk in
Germany, that country has at all haz-
ards maintained the milk ration Of
the children and In the hospitals,
even though to do so has meant that
the adult population has had to fore
go largely its use. In safety first"
health campaign 1t must be remeln-
bered that 1t should be children
frst."-L. s. U. Press Bulletin.

MILK Is CHEEP
AT FIFTEEN CENTS
Housewives Should Study lie Food
Value Before Deciding to Give
Up lts Use.

Milk at Is cents a quart Is as cheap
source of protein as sirloin steak
at 34.3 cents q pound. or eggs at 419
cents dozen. Milk at the same price
Is as cheap a source Of energy as sir
loin steak at 21.2 cents a pound or
eggs at 20 cents dozen. Protein and
energy are two important necessities
for which we eat food. Milk contains
the bodybuilding materials-protein
and mineral substances, such as lime
and phosphorous-needed to renew the
body wastes and promote growth by
forming new tissues and fluids; and It
also supplies energy for carrying on
body functions.
The average person, the country
over, uses a little more than half a
pint of milk daily. It IL said that the
consumption Of milk per capita in the
city of New Orleans is only about one
half OF that Of other large cities. This
quantity can be increased very profit
ably when safe milk 10 available. Many
persons think of milk only as bev.
erage, but II they understood that 1t
Is in reality nourishing food they
would increase the allowance. Econ
omy in diet does not always depend
on limiting the use Of certain foods,
but 1t Is sometimes q question Of ac-
tually increasing the use Of foods
which furnish nutritive material at rel
atively low cost. Milk belongs to the
latter class and the housewife would
do well to study its food value and
decide whether her family Is using as
much as 1t should.-Extension Divi-
sion, Louisiana State University.

Influenza Kills More Americans Than
German Bullets.


German Bullets.
Washington, Nov. Is. -Influ-
enza in the United States has
caused more deaths than occurred
among the American Expedition
airy Forces from all causes from
the time the first unit landed in
France until hostilities ceased.
This announcement by the CEN
sus bureau was based on unoffic-
ial estimates of 40, 900 to As, 900
casualties among the overseas
forces and reports from as cities
having a combined population of
%, 900, 600 which showed 81, BOG
deaths from influenza and pneu-
monia from September 9 to No
vember 9.
The total of deaths due to the
influenza epidemic in this coun-
try is not known, the announce
ment said, as only the 46 cities
for which figures were given re-
port vital statistics to the census
bureau. The greatest mortality
due to the epidemic, in proper
ton to population was IA per
cent in Philadelphia, and the
next greatest, 6.7 per cent, was
reported from Baltimore.

Flu Spreads Over
Civilized World
Germ Eludes Psychologists And
Health Authorities Are Bafled.

The Influenza epidemic contin-
ues undated. It's ravages are
not confined to this city or state
or even to the United States, and
cable reports indicate that it is
rapidly spreading over the civil
lied world. It has baffled medi-
cal skill to an unusual extent and
has claimed more victims perhaps
than any other epidemic in a
score of years. The germ has
eluded the Psychologists and
medical men now agree that the
best cure is prevention.
The surest prevention is to
build the bodily powers of resist
ance and to get the system in the
best physical condition possible.
1t is now universally agreed that
it is possible to perfect the powers
of resistance of the human sys-
tenn so that it can throw off al
most any infection not excepting
Spanish Influenza.
1t has been discovered that
persons who are weak and run
down are the earliest victims,
and if you find yourself tired or
weak and losing flesh, or if you
are in a generally rundown con-
dition and below your normal
weight, this warning should be
needed promptly.
If you are in this condition
nothing on earth will build you
up and strengthen you like Tan
lac, which contains the most
powerful tonic properties known
to science. AS a reconstructive
tonic and system builder it is
without an equal and contains
the very elements needed by the
system to give fighting strength
to ward off the Influenza germ.
This is a statement of facts and
is supported by the recognized
authorities and reference works
including the United States Dis
pensatory and the Encyclopedia
Britannica and leading text
books used in the school Of medi-
cine. This statement is further
proven by the fact that millions
of persons who have actually
taken Tanlac have testified to it's
extraordinary merit as a medi-
cine, and by the fact that Tanlac
is today having the greatest sale
OF any tonic on the American
market, over eleven million bot
ties having been sold within the
past three years.
Tanlac is also the ideal streng-
thening tonic for persons who
are suffering from the after-ef-
fects of Influenza, Grippe or
bronchial troubles and hundreds
Of thousands are using it daily
with the most gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment it is necessary to keep
the bowels open by taking Tan
lac Laxative Tablets, samples of
which are included with every
bottle of Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold in Colfax by
Dixie Pharmacy and by one regu-
lar established agency in every
town.

Business Will Not Be Permitted to Run
Wild

Wild.
Washington, Nov. 20. Bust
ness is not going to run wild, in
the United States, now that the
war is ended.
The hit-or-miss, go-as-you-can
business methods. that used to
bring panic in other days, will
not prevail.
The government is going to
keep as strong a hold on affairs,
and as steadying a control, as
has been kept during the war.
1t can be stated authoritatively
that the same governmental
agencies that are now keeping
American production in good trim
will stay on the job as long as
there is need for them after the
fighting is over.
The War Industries Board,
headed by some of the most i'm
portant business men in the
United States, is going to be
maintained, until the last need
for it has disappeared.
Control of raw materials for
manufacturing, will be ironclad.
The bars will not be thrown down
so that the man with the most
money can get the most copper
or iron or steel or coal or any
other supplies for his factory,
while the small manufacturer
must remain idle.
There will be an apportion-
ment for peace-time necessities,
so that the small manufacturer
will get his full share of raw
materials, wherewith to fulfill
orders. The task of meeting the
worlds demands, of fulfilling its
unprecedented necessities, is one
that the government considers
of the utmost Importance and
one that it intends to help Ameri-
can business accomplish.
There will be no sudden closing
down of big factories. The small
factories, which have not been on
war work, and which have not
been able to do other work, be-
cause of the lack of raw materi-
al, will get supplies to carry out
the unprecedented list of orders
which they have.
In other words, there is to be
no vast scurrying around of dis
charged working people for jobs;
life is not going to become one
grim game of "pussy-wants-a-
