WHY BUTTER Is
GOOD FOR YOU
Harry II. Heming.

InOuShnu5 OF years ago Wnen the
world was very new and people lived
mostly out Of doors and slept in trees,
caves, and RIDLEY constructed shell.
ters. butter, milk, and cheese were
their principal foods.
The lives that these people led
were hard and rough and in every.
thing that they did, they were guided
almost entirely by instinct. SO, even
had they been told of the wonderful
lnourishment contained In these sim.
pie dairy products, they would not
have understood what IL was all
Iabout. But instinct told them when
and what to eat, and they knew when
they ate butter, milk. and cheese
that their hunger was soon satisfied
and that their tired bodies were
quickly refreshed So i'm this man.
ner, they became healthy and vigor-
Gus men and women and lived to be
very old
For centuries, butter, milk, and
cheese have been closely allied with
the mental and physical development
of the human race, and at the present
time, in all countries where they are
used generously in feeding the young,
we find the finest. strongest, most in
telligent and useful people.
Eat Plenty Of Bread and Butter.
There is nothing healthier and bet.
ter as a food for the growing child
than plenty OF good bread and butter.
I When, after hours of study and on
the playground, you run home TO
mother for something to eat, ask her
for slice of bread with rich. golden
butter spread thick all over It. Then.
very soon you will feel as good as
new, and that is because butter re.
places the energy that has been con.
sumed in work and play.
Mother knows just how much good
those slices of bread and sweet, rich
butter mean to her little boys and
girls and gives them gladly all that
they want, because above everything
else, she wishes them to have healthy
minds and bodies, so that they may
perform their full duty as good
citizens in years to come.
Butter Furnishes Energy To Body
And Mind.
To eat plenty of good butter is the
surest means of keeping your supply
OF energy at its best, and energy Is of
utmost importance to both body and
mind.
Additional energy also is gained
from the soups, meats, vegetables
bread pies, cakes, and buildings that
you eat when butter is used in pre-.
pairing them. Butter makes them
more palatable, too, and more di.
gestible.
Nearly everything contained in but
ter is good for your body; so per

energy, ! per cent Is protein that re.
news the wasted tissues. and 3 per

and strengthens the bones. Butter
