children who drink plenty of milk

Milk furnishes protein for body

Milk supplies fat and sugar as fuel

Cooperating with the Children's
Bureau, the educational committee Of
the Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton declared today that not enough
milk is fed to children and urges a
more general use of the product.
Children who live on farms should
have plenty of milk from tuberculin
tested cows; those in cities should use
pasteurized milk, declares the bulletin.
Whole milk is the best form of milk
for the children. SKINNED milk lacks

VEGETABLES EASILY
STORED FOR WINTER.

Because of their health giving quail
ties, fresh vegetables have an import
ant place in the winter diet and con-
sequently people who depend on
homegrown supply are interested In
methods by which vegetables may be
stored for winter use. T. M. Currence,
vegetable expert of the Minnesota
Agricultural Experiment station, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, says that
large variety of vegetable crops may
be successfully stored, including sew
eral kinds Of root crops, potatoes,
cabbages, celery, onions, pumpkins
and squashes.
The conditions required to keep
these different kinds of vegetables
vary considerably. Root crops and
potatoes are best kept in a cool,
moist place, such as an outdoor cellar
where the temperature does not go
lower than one or two degrees above
freezing. Onions should be stored In
a cool, dry place, while pumpkins and
squash are best kept where it is warm
and dry, the attic being favorite
place for storing such crops. Celery
and cabbages are intermediate in
their requirements, being best pre-
served under conditions that are
moderately cool and moderately damp.
Where it is not practicable to pro-
vide separate storage places for these
different crops, fairly good results can
be obtained by providing a general
storage room in the cellar or base
ment. This should be partitioned of
and have an earth floor. Outdoor
pits may also be used for storing such
vegetables as the root crops, potatoes
and cabbages, but these have the dis
advantage of being difficult to get at
during the winter.
One of the secrets Of success in
vegetable storage is to have good
sound products that are properly
matured, and free from insect, dis
ease, or mechanical injury, Mr.. Cur
renee says.

that present prices are justified by
