o~rbere's more to milk than just
.,o cream" Miss Florence Inlay, OF
The Iowa state agricultural college at
Amos told the pupils of the seventh
and eight grades OF the Washington
school this morning in her talk on
milk and its value as a food.
Miss Inlay talked to practically all
Tho students in that building meeting
several classes at once, and In dealing
with each of them she placed her sub
iect within the range OF the children
she was talking to and built her story
around the things they were inter-
ested in.
aThe people who do the best work
| IN factories, schools, business houses.
+ in track meets and on the football
field are those that use lots OF milk,
tbe sneaker told the grammar school
mpils. and she added that there was
one factory which she knew OF that
mrchased 400 quarts of milk day
for the use of it's employees. 1T paid"
she said, because the lnen were able
10 do more efficient work during the
day." Miss Inlay asked her audience
II they didn't think milk would be
good for them, If it were good for men
in factories and boys on football
teams.
The children in the third and fourth
grade were told why milk was good
for them. 1t contains more lime in it
than any other food stuff and 1t Is
this lime which builds the bones and
the teeth, Miss INLAY explained to
them. and the children's eyes grew
biz as dollars when she told them
that there was as much of this lime
in a quart of milk as there was in nine
loages of bread or twenty-eight pounds
OF beef. They all promised to ask
their mothers for lots of milk to drink,
and they were delighted when Miss
Inlay told them that cucoa and Gus
tards and milk soups were good for
them, and that they would help to
make their bones grow and make
their teeth hard.
Lesson Takes Root.
The representative from Ames
asked these little people to write some
sentences telling about milk and why
children should drink lots of 1t. The
essays in the embryo" all gave evil
root in their minds. Sumo Of them
were amusing from the standpoint of
rhetoric and spelling; Que read. milk
scoop Is good for u.s.; another one
contained this bit of information,
when you get big piece of meate,
you don't get very much lime, but
milk soop is good for u.s." The SEN
fences which the pupils wrote will be
sent by Miss INLAY to the head of this
department at Washington. d. c., she
said this morning.
The high school cooking classes
were given demonstration on ways
Of using milk by Miss Inlay during
thelr laboratory hour at which time
she showed them the many ways
milk could be used in cooking vege-
tables, soups, custards. and beverages
and by doing SO add to the food value
OF the articles cooked She spoke on
me consumption Of milk and urged
Inc pupils here as well as those in the
younger grades to use more milk. and
Went into it's value as a food, more
iully here than when speaking to the
grade children.
MISS Inlay met the women OF Keo-
kuk this afternoon at Rock Hall CEN
Ter where she talked to them on the
same subject and gave demonstra-
IONS there similar to those given in
the morning to the high school
classes. This is the first elaborate
attempt made in Keokuk for some
tiine TO teach people the value of ono
Vi Inc important foods.
