School Children Learn That Quart
Of Milk q Day Keeps the Doctor
Away.
last thirty years Is as great as that
in the preceding $50 years.
The present-day consumption or
milk In the United States, they say,
Is equal to about one pint per day. or
as much as two small glasses. That
is not a great amount when 1t Is
known that 1t Includes not only the
milk that is used for drinking, but
also that used In cooking. This Is
small amount compared TO the per
capita consumption In some European
countries. In Sweden and Switzer-
land, for example, nearly 70 gallons
are used by each person annually.
A high value has always been
placed on cows In many European
countries, and history records CAM
paign conducted by Julius Caesar In
central Europe where he found Ger
man tribes living almost exclusively
on milk. In order to provide pastures
for their cows they forcibly resisted
the settlement of any people near
them.
In relating the growth of the dairy
industry in this country, the depart
ment specialists say that In pioneer
days each family kept its own COW.
The denser the population became the
more important 1t was to have well
regulated and ample commercial sup
ply Of milk. Gradually the number
Of cows Increased, and In time dairy
business grew up in various sections.
The development Of modern methods
In the distribution Of milk, with eco.
nomic sanitary handling, has been
closely accompanied by the larger use
Of this food, they say.
Much of the milk now used In cities
comes many miles, and recently inn
proved methods have made it pos
sible to ship 1t for long distances in
refrigerator cars. Al the national
dairy show In Chicago in 1919, milk
first prize in the market-milk cOmpe-
titiOn with the highest score ever CIV
en- to milk In recent years.
Cities have always used smaller
amount of milk In proportion to the
number of people than general farm
ing communities. the statistics show.
For example, Philadelphia reached the
rate Of % gallons per capita In 1905,
which was fifteen years later than the
country at large reached consump-
ton of % gallons. There are, how
ever, many agricultural and nonagri-
cultural rural districts where cows
are not kept and where modern meth
DDS Of milk distribution are not equal
to most cities. The people In such
places have to depend on canned milk
of various kinds, and this, the dairy
men say. Is an exceedingly valuable
Ameans of supplying need which 20
or 30 years ago could not have been
supplied at all.

ing and by II o'clock had spanned the
distance between Rockford an d
Wedron,- and Philip Holm tho secre-
tary an treasurer of the company was
handing out the pay envelopes,
$4,000 In Money Bag.
About $4,000 in cash was carried on
in source of constant worry lest high
way men should make a target Of
him and relieve him Of his pay roll
In the practice of carrying a pay roll
via plane is put into general usage,
bandits will have to become brdman,
unless they change their profession
Used Commercial Plane.
The trip yesterday as made in a
commercial plane which was manned
by Pilot Hassel of Rockford. Mr.
Holm was the sole passenger. At the
new plant today it was said that the

to be repeated again or not,

give each of these policies a fair

Of tOday's exchanges. The United

feel that the armament program need

sions fall short of an agreement. In
fact, in some quarters, it is felt that
with an independent armaments
agreement an accomplished fact and
with the powers even tacitly, agreed
