Endorsing the movement recently
started to make milk the national
drink, Miss Hunter stated: Consider
ing the miraculous powers of milk
protein for promoting growth of It's
sue in the adult, it deserves a far
greater recognition among the people
generally. The high vitamin content
of milk insures health, growth and
proper bodily maintenance; the lime
and phosphorus provide for the build
ing and protection of bones and teeth.
1t would be we'll for every individual,
young and old, to use milk literally
as a part of the normal diet.
milk should not be expected to
take the place of water or used in
addition to the normal diet. 1t is a
food and must be considered as such.
Any good thing can be overdone and
the excessive use of milk and milk
products, together with excessive
quantities Of meats, eggs, cereals and
iegumes each day, is bound to over
tax the digestive organs as well.
"In children, muscle tissue grows
very slowly and if more of the above
building foods are eaten than is nee
essary, certain organs are over-wOrK-
ed trying to take care of this food in
take. If three or four cups of milk
are taken in some form, only a small
serving of meat, fish, chicken or an
egg is necessary for growth of tissue
in a child.
"For the normal adult an ordinary
serving of meat or fish and an egg
each day, with a quart of milk in some
form, is adequate to protect BODY
tissue"

Live Stock Shipping Assn's
= When hogs are produced in small
lots there is often considerable diff
ficulty in marketing them because
= there are not enough to ship in car
= load lots and consequently must be
marketed locally. Where cooperative
, shipping associations are in operation
the small producers are enabled t.
ship their hogs to other markets an
thus avoid overlooking the market.
