THE REBUILDING OF AMERICAN
CITIES

Cali you need furnish is personal clothes
and food-and if you do not wish to
bother with the food problems we have
an excellent cafe in the building"
The speaker was the manager of a
large apartment hotel in Chicago. He was
demonstrating the conveniences of his
building to some prospective tenants.
"In this two-room suite four people can
be accommodated" he continued. "The
beds fold up and disappear in the wall;
the library table can be quickly converted
into dining table; the kitchenette is re-
vealed by throwing back the doors. Every
thing is simple, complete yet compact. We
furnish your dishes, table linens, gas, ice
even the writing materials in that desk.
You are freed from absolutely every
bother, and have a home combining the
social attractions of a hotel and the pri-
vacy of an apartment"
Thus he summed up in few words
the features of type of building that
is revolutionizing American cities. From
the ample residence of twenty years ago
to this amazing specimen of our tendency
to eliminate household duties and make
one room do where five existed before is
change that has just about reversed the
average Americans habits.

MILK IS PERFECT FOR HUMAN
FOOD

Milk is the nearest approach to per-
feet human food, and it is by far the best
food for children. Children must have
milk in order to develop properly, and all
persons of whatever age need it in order
to keep in proper condition.
The advice of the United States de-
partment of agriculture is: "Save on
other things if you can, but not on milk,
your child's best food"
Children who do not get milk, but are
given tea and coffeee instead, are for the
most part sickly. There are always many
sick children in cities and in countries
where milk is scarce. When prices go up
and mothers begin to economize on milk,
more children become sick.
Children, in larger measure than grown
persons, require lime. 1t is needed, parti-
cularly for their bones and teeth, and in
smaller quantities for their blood and other
parts of their bodies Milk is the chief
food for lime. A cup of milk contains ap-
proximately four times as much lime as
an egg. 1t is the cheapest food for lime.
Milk is also an excellent food for body
building protein. In that respect it is like
eggs and meat. Milk protein is especially
good for children, but it is good for and
should be used by everybody.
Milk, in addition, is an excellent fuel
food. Children, who are much more
active than adults, need more fuel to burn
in their bodies to help them run and play
and work. The fat and the milk sugar
burn up as fuel. A quart of milk gives
the same amount of fuel as eight eggs.
Milk, even at advanced cost, is the cheap
est fuel food. Take your pencil and make
little comparison in cents.
Whole milk, of course, is the best food.
But skim milk is good food, too. 1t has
the lime, the sugar and the protein of the
whole milk. 1t is deficient in fat and has
not much of the growth substances as has
whole milk. Use whole milk-but do not
throw away the skim milk.
Every child, big or little, should have
plenty of milk. The big boys and girls
need it only slightly less than do the
babies, and grown persons need it only
slightly less than the big boys and girls.
Be liberal with the milk ration. Do
not think of milk merely as refreshing
drink. Think of it as a good, nourishing
food-the best food. We need other foods,
of course - vegetables, fruits, cereals.
But, most of all, we need milk. -Ex.

MEDIC SCHOOL INSPECTION
TEMPORARILY POSTPONED

DR.. Ben H. Day, who has been in
speeding the city school children dur
ing the scarlet fever epidemic, will
no longer visit the schools unless the
disease again breaks out. At pres
ent the pupils seem to be free from
the germs and it is not expected that
the trouble will again appear, but If
so, DR.. Smith, county health officer,
will put DR.. Day again in charge.
That his daily inspection along with
the quarantine and other health re-
storing measures, certainly prevent
ed a severe epidemic, is no doubt.
There are many who would like to-
see the school inspection a weekly or
monthly occurrence so that disease
might be prevented from the very
inception. Parents were pleased with

to look after their children when dis
ease was at its beginning and were
then able to treat it before 1t got
