USE MORE MILK, AIM.

Statistics show that, although milk
is fresher and cheaper in the coun-
try, less milk is drunk by farm boys
and girls than by city children. 1t
is said that this accounts for the fact
that the proportion of undernour-
ished- children in the country is
larger than in the city.
The dairy division of the United
STATES department of agriculture is
cooperating with the state agricul-
tural colleges to induce city and
country children to drink more
milk Several drink-more-milk
campaigns have been held in the
last few years. The increase in milk
consumption after a campaign. has
been from | tn 33 per cent.
