USE MORE MILK

The propaganda now being eircG
lated throughout the country to EN-
courage the people to use more, milk
is probably inspired by the dairy in
terests, it is sound doctrine just the
same. 1t is move in he right di,
rection. Milk is one Of the most
wholesome of foods, and most of US.
especially those of us who live in the
cities and towns. use too little of it,
During the invest igation into the
cause of pellagra by government
scientists several years ago it was
found that the dreaded disease way
almost inyaribly caused by improper
food, Unbalanced rations. 1t was
also found that the liberal use OF
milk was a curative as we'll as a pre-
tentative. Doubtless it could be
proven that many other diseases
could be warded off by the use Of
milk.
Milk is not prohibitive in cost. and
with a stronger demand for it the
number of diaries would be increas-
ed and the cost lessened still further.
Use more milk and conserve your
health, the most priceless Of all your
possessions.
