ROCKING CHAIR is ENDORSED
French Authorities Declare Great
American "Institution" to Be
PhysiolooicafIy Correct.

Nobody who has studied the rocking
chair will be surprised to hear that
the French Academy of Science has
declared 1t the most hygienic of all
seats instead OF mere American fad.
1t ia, as the academy says, physiology
cally correct. The trouble with 1t Is
that 1t is not always psychologically
correct. Its baneful effects are not on
the rocker but on the beholder. 1t Is
an all-around Joy only when 1t Is not
rocked. New England ladies used to
test a new neighbor by getting her to
sit In rocking, chair. If she could re-
sist rocking she was Of the elect. This
simple test Of the nerves has made OF
marred a great many newcomers pop
ularity.
The advantage of the rocking chnil
is that it puts the body in perfec
balance. The skull Is kept In the prop
err position. But oscillation does moi
add to the benefit. 1t Is good to fint
an invention which has been malignet
because of misuse indorsed by the
scientists. Let these gentlemen mex
find something good to say about sill
hats.

Rents Hurt Ghost Industry.

In England desperate people in
search Of houses to rent or buy are
advertising that ghosts are no draw
back. Any one who happens to own
hitherto unrented house because ira
dition says it is haunted is assured
that the seekers for domicile will
accept 1t at the rental asked for re-
CARELESS Of the haunter or hauntess.
1t Is suspected that In England, as
In several other countries, ghosts Of
landlords would be less Objectionable
than those of other folk. Whatever
his losses in the past, the landlord
az rule is regarded in these days
with deep suspicion as a profiteer. In
many cases this attitude Is probably
unfair; there are some considerate

pleted show that the cost varies from
$85 to $4,000, depending largely upon
the size Of the area and the amount
Of advertising used The cost of a
campaign, however, is no indication of
the results. Some Of the least expen-
sive campaigns have been the most
effective. The campaign in Daven-
port, Ia, which brought unusually
good results, was put on for the small
sum Of $65. Funds are contributed
locally for the work.
Organization In carrying o'N such a
campaign, especially In the larger
cities, is of the utmost Importance.
Long before the starting of the active
work, the committees In charge of va
rious activities, such as publicity,
finances, transportation, etc, are chos-
en-, and the entire plan of the cam
paign Is mapped out. The co-opera-
ton Of the various local organizat tons
Is secured, such as board of health,
newspapers. milk dealers, schools,
churches, chamber of commerce. etc. ;
and each one Is made to feel that 1t
has an active part in the work Of the
campaign.
When the opening day has arrived,
everything Is in readiness, and every
cog in the wheels of this great ma
chine moves smoothly. Press notices
and advertisements appear in the local
papers. Posters on the food value of
milk and displays in the store windows
greet the eye at every turn. The dem
onstrators and lecturers hurry from
point to point to meet their numer-
Gus engagements, spreading the gos-
pei Of milk and good health in fac
tories, stores, schools. clubs. theaters,
churches, and the meetings OF labor
unions and various other organiZa-
lions.
Schools an important Factor.
or all these methods Of spreading
the message Of milk, none has proved
more effective than work In the
schools. In fact, records show that
there is a sharp line Of demarcation
between the results obtained with and
without school cooperation. They
vary lTOIu ~ " OV per cent lncTedSc
in consumption In cities where the
schools take a part In the work, down
to only to per cent where they do
not.
Through the schools the children
are reached directly. They learn from
the women extension workers that
milk will nourish their bodies and help
them grow. Contests in designing
milk posters and In writing milk es-
says also stimulate interest in the
subject.
Children in city schools, and espe-
cially those Of foreign extraction,
know very little about milk. Many
have never seen a COW, and when ask
ed where milk comes FROM answer,

Bringing the Cow to School.
A novel method of urging the use OF
milk was tried out In a New Jersey
city with success. Just as school was
letting out COW was brought up in a
truck and MIXED In the street At
one school 600 children gathered
around to see her MIXED. "Such ex-
element, you would have thought a
circus was In town." wrote one of the
extension workers. 1t took two police
men and five workers to restrain the
excited crowd. One COW, of course.
could not furnish enough milk for such
a crowd, but an additional supply was
brought up in trucks, and eventually
everyone got a drink OF real milk.
Most children like milk, anyway.
and when milk is supplied to them
in the schools they rarely leave a
single drop In the bottle, especially
If they can drink 1t through a straw.
Parents often raise the objection,
when advised to give their children
more milk, that their boys or girls will
not drink 1t. When the boys and girls
come from school, however. and tell
their parent that they want milk, they
get it. .t
Undernourlshed Children Gain on MIX.
When a campaign is closed the work
is followed up with milk-feeding dem
onstrations in schools. In all cases
on record the feeding Of milk has re-
suited In substantial gains In weight,
rate of growth, and mental alertness.
The results of the feeding demonstra-
tions following the Massachusetts
campaign. for instance, give some idea
of what is being accomplished. In
Hampden county 48 undernourlshed
children wore given a quart of milk
daily for six weeks. These children
made an average gain Of pound and
1871 ounces, Will. the normal gain for
healthy children carefully fed. for the
same period. would have been only IL
ounces.
Eight Of these children made phe-
nomenal gains OF more than five times
what normally they would be expected
to make. One Of these was lad who
had never had milk except occasional
ly on Sundays. He was delighted with
his gain OF "a ounces in six weeks.
OF course the results of milk cam
paigns In different cities and rural
districts have varied greatly, but
where a complete campaign has been
put on, the increase In cOnsumntion
Of milk has been found to be from
10 to 80 per cent Other dairy prod
ucts. too. such as butter, cottage
cheese and buttermilk, have come in
for substantial gains. In Detroit. for
instance, a IS per cent surplus Of milk
which occurred during the spring sea-
son OF heavy production, was elimi-
mated. The use Of whole milk in
creased 10 per cent, butter Is per cent,
cottage cheese 3 per cent. For one
firm alone, the weekly sales OF butter
were increased 10000 pounds, and Of
milk 10000 quarts. Topeka. Kan, re-
ports that the sales of butter Jumped

from any of the "a
cities that have completed campaigns
during the past Is months. These
citizens will tell you what milk cam
paign can do for health Improvement,
and 1t is obvious that when a move
ment spreads as rapidly as the milk
campaign has, there Is something to 1t.
The milk campaign has brought re-
suits. That Is why 1t is popular. 1t
is the chief answer and remedy, all In
one, to the question, whats wrong
with our children's diet T'--or our own
diet, for that matter.
Too Much Undernourishment
American citizens, who have always
zen noted for their progressiveness.
Will be surprised to learn that right
In their own country there is a large
per cent of undernourishment among
children. Figures from many parts
of the country prove this, according
to the naturalization specialists Of
the United States department of agri-
culture, who are cooperating in the
milk campaigns. In our greatest city,
New York, for instance, 1t was found
that the percentage of undernourish-
ed children had increased from 5 per
cent in 1914 to Fl per cent in 1918.
and that this Increase had accompa-
MED decrease Of 25 per cent in milk
consumption.
Figures from country districts tell
the same story. In one Missouri coun-
ty, 1t was found on weighing and meas
uring 400 school children, that so per
cent were 10 per cent and more under
weight for their height and age.
Investigations showed that this con-
dition was not confined to any one
class-rich, poor and middle class, all
being represented. Apparently, then,
it is not lack of money which has
brought about this condition, but rath-
er lack of information.
AS means of combating this grow
ing tendency toward undernourish-
ment, the idea was developed of desig-
mating a period as milk weeks, and
concentrating all available forces to
the task of bringing before the people
of a community the food value and
healthful qualities of milk. This was
the origin of the milk campaign.
How the Campaign Is Started.
A milk campaign Is a highly-organ-
lied educational drive In city or In
a rural district. When 1t has been
found by the citizens that campaign
is needed, the first step Is to call on
the state college Of agriculture for
cooperation. If the conditions war
rant the campaign. the cooperation Of
the dairy division, United States de-
partment Of agriculture Is requested
by the extension department of the
college OF agriculture. The college
generally furnishes corps Of trained
lecturers, and the dairy division lends
assistance In planning the campaign,
and contributes literature, exhibits,
and some personal assistance II de-
sired.
Neither the college Of agriculture
nor the federal dairy division will CO.
operate in campaign until 1t has
been found that the people of the To-
cality really want 1t and are willing
to work for 1t. that the supply Of milk
Is clean and wholesome, and that the
price Of milk is right and will not be
raised by the dealers, due to increased
demand.
Effective Campaigns at Small Cost.
