Il I::1 =. DRINK MORE MILK = ~.
:" Drink more milk, gain weight and keep
we'll. That's the slogan among school
children in Bemidji these days and it
should be the slogan among grown ups.
Dairy products Of all kinds are most
healthfnl and the white race cannot sur
vlve without them according to Herbert
Hoover. Not only will greater use of
milk and its products mean better health,
but It, will mean a saving of money in the
home, for these vital foods will take the
place of others far more expensive and
not nearly so valuable to the body.
. Careful estimates show that on an
average, each person in the United States
consumes per day." says the Milk Mag
azine, zone glass of milk, one third ounce
of butter, one sixth ounce of cheese and
times below normal because of an improper
cream.'
Government statistics show that one out
of every four children in the United States
is suffering from malnutrition. The main
reason is that they do not receive these
indispensable foods, all of which contain
that vital element, butterfat, in sufficient
quantities.
Conditions among adults reveal the fact
that their health and efficiency are off,
times below normal because of an improper
choice of foods.
=. Scientific authorities, prominent among
whom are DR.. Sherman of Cornell, have
shown that our present average expendi-
ture for dairy products in comparison with
the total amount spent for food is 20 per
cent while it should be AZ per cent.
All leading food and health authorities
advocate wider use of these vital foods
While the average person now con-
sunes approximately z 1-2 pounds of but
ter per year in the United States, science
and practice both prove that this amount
should be at least doubled, making Is
pounds per year. Instead of consuming
about 1-3 pounds of cheese, we should
consume at least 10 pounds. Rather than
consuming 255 pints of milk, we should
consume an equal number of quarts. The
leading authorities all claim that a child
should have at least quart day, and
adults at least pint. Our consumption Of
ice cream should be at least doubled, for
i it is a highly nourishing food for both
young and old.
49,. -. Surveys recently made both in the city
schools and in the country schools show
that the children of the country do not
use dairy products to the same extent as
city folks. It is too well known that many
dairy farmers use oleomargarine in their
"a homes instead of butter. Evidently they do
not know the food value of their product.
~ ~ 1t should be the program of every true
American mother to urge the consumption
of a quart Of milk each day by every child
and pint by each adult. She should BEL
gin today to serve butter at every meal,
cheese once each day, and ice cream four
or five times week. ,'n.~>... ,.." g."
Then! The health of the family will be
improved, the children will have red blood
in their veins and be ready for both work
and play, and the adults will show greater
efficiency in their work with less exertion.
Why? Because milk and it's products
are indispensable to the growth of the
child and the health Of the adult. They
all contain that vital element butterfat, :
for which here is no substitute, because ,ito
alone: of all the, fats, contains that vital
growth substance Indispensable: to the,
perpetuation Of the humanrace .&"@ q, g % 5> g.

Others have done the same-are doing it
now. >>%
Everyone is trying to figure out what our
nation needs most. And what ever it is.
the reason it's needed is because there has
been no way for Americans to get together
collectively and talk it over, learning what
to work for. :<@"z#- -. e -. - =.
