 Milk is coming to be recognized more and more as one of the most important foods. It is no longer considered a lux iury, but one of the first in necessary foods. The discoveries of Dr. McCol-
 lum have thrown new lights on the : importance of dairy products for hu- man nutrition. In the last issue of
 Hoard's Dairyman, the great national , dairy publication. there is an editorial ] in reference to the importance of Dr. 7 McCollum work. The following is ' quoted from the editorial:
 , Tt is very encouraging to observe the . interest deepening everywhere in be- 1 half of dairy products. People who
 have no financial interest in dairying are offering their assistance to spread ' the gospel of milk, for they know what it means to have the children. espec tally, well supplied with proper diet
 MT. McCollum calls milk q, protective food and urges adults to consume d glass a day. children under six years a quart and between six and It years q pint. Everybody should know about
 the results of Dr. McCollums expert l ments in feeding young animals var ious rations. as no work in animal nu- . triton is of more importance or has
 received wider attention.
