GROWTH IN TRADE

As previously pointed out, our domes- tic trade has increased by 500 per cent since 1900, and our foreign trade bys362 per cent. Tn the same period the worlds stock of monetary gold shows a gain of only 6S per cent and yet we are trying to impose the limitations of a nineteenth century gold supply upon the credit facilities granted to twen- tieth century business.
 One consequence of this policy has been that 60 per cent of the advance in prices established in the last six years has been wiped out in the six months just ended. Another such six months

NUMBER OF MEALS EACH DAY
Specialists Cannot See Advantage Of
Two Hearty Meals Over Three
Ordinary Ones.

The theory is advanced from time
to time that one or two meals a day
would be preferable to the three COM
monty served in this country. If the
same amount Of food is to be eaten,
United States department Of agricul-
tre food specialists state that it is
hard to see the advantage Of two
very hearty meals over three ordinary
ones.
The best physiological evidence i'm
plies that moderate quantities of food
taken at moderate intervals are more
easily and completely diCcsted by or
dinary people than larger quantities
taken at long intervals, If the food
ordinarily eaten is considered excess
Siye and the aim is simply to reduce
the amount, it would seem more ra-
tional to make all the meals lighter
than to omit one. The very fact that
the custom Of eating a number of
meals a day has so long been almost
universal indicates that it must have
some advantages which instinct
based upon experience, approves and
juStihcS.

The people Of Central and South
America have been increasing the
quantity of milk consumed in the last
few years.
Decrease by War;
In Canada there was a great de-
crease in the consumption of whole
milk due TO the war. Prior to the war
the use of whole milk had reached a
daily average Of one pint, or about 42.4
gallons a year. but in 1917 the milk
consumed averaged only 2G gallons,
which is a decrease of about 40 per
cent, In England the average quantity
Of milk consumed yearly was only %. >
gallons before the war, but every eff
fort has been made to increase the con-
sumption and especially to give grow
ing children the amount needed by
them, That country is now conducting
"a campaign to raise the consumption
to quart a day for children under five
years Of age.
In other European countries the
quantity of milk available for con-
sumption was reduced during the war
and in some sections there was not
enough even for the sick. The chill
dren seldom saw either good or bad
milk.
In nearly all countries, just prior to
the war, the consumption of milk per
person was increasing. The milk was
being produced under better cOndi-
tions. The war came and proved the
value Of milk as a food for children,
for wounded and sick soldiers and for
home folks.
Since the period of reconstruction
began many committees and commits
Sons in the principal dairy countries
have been endeavOring to classify the
information derived from war expert
ences relative to the value of milk and
milk products, and to increase the
quantity and improve the quality Of
the milk products consumed.

OUTCOME OF APPLE ORCHARD

which are bearing heavily Although
the trees may make a greater growth
in wet season than in a very dry

MIX Is the Best Of Foods for AeOrnk of It,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricUltlreJ
MIX as a food has been receiving
more attention in the last quarter Of
q century than at any previous time.
In the United States there has been
a great increase in the average guam
tity of milk used by each person. but
il is only within the last few years that
we have reached an average consump-
ton Of one pound a day. Thirty years
ago the per capita quantity consumed
was estimated at half of what it is to-
day, Much of this increased con-
sumption is due to a more widespread
knowledge Of the food value of milk
and to regulations requiring better
methods Of production and better san
Itation.
one pound of whole milk a day
makes 424 gallons a year. This may
seem like a great quantity Of milk, but
a growing child should have twice this
amount.
Milk in Other Countries.
In several countries the average con-
sumption of milk is larger than it is
in the United States. The people of
Sweden and Denmark use IL pints a
day and those of Germany and Bel
gium prior to the war used more than
q pint per capita. The Netherlands
CHolland) is one Of the great dairy
countries, as the Dutch people are
fond of all kinds of milk products.
The whole-milk consumption Of that
country is about twice that of the
United States. In Italy the greater
part of the milk consumed is goats
milk, for the Italians believe it is bet
ter than cows milk. The larger part
Of the COW milk, sheep milk and buffa-
TO milk is used for making butter and
cheese.
In the hot countries of Asia and At
rica the milk is often used after it has
clabbered as sour and fermented
milks are considered very healthful.

VEGETABLES ASSIST HEALTH

Freely of Them.

Fresh vegetables, served freely, spell
vigor and freedom from sickness for
those who eat them. They keep the
blood as it should be and the whole

the vegetables are cooked so they are
refreshing and palatable.
Vegetables just out Of the garden
taste best when simply cooked -
steamed boiled or baked-and served
with a little salt, butter, milk or
cream. Often a heavily seasoned
sauce covers up the more desirable
vegetable flavor.

This is because they are convinced
that the Russian soviet government

been considerably modified, both for
Americans and foreigners seeking
American visas, in the past few
months and every attempt will be
made, 1t was said, to make travel as
easy as possible abroad next sum-
mer. But, in face of the evidence
which has accumulated during the
