Do You Know Why Milk
Is Considered a Healthy
Drink?

Because milk is the most nearly
perfect food that has been given
us. The proteins in milk are
of the best quality for growth.
Milk is the most abundant source
of calcium, or lime, which is
aptly called the body's chief
regulator" Calcium is concerned
with many of the vital functions
Of the body, and if milk is omit
ted from the diet enough of this
element cannot be obtained from
ordinary amounts of other foods.
Another mineral, phosphorus,
which is needed by every body
cell, is found abundantly in milk.
Vitamin A, which builds up re-
SiStance to colds and more Sc
rious troubles of the lungs and
sinus and prevents a disease of
the eyes called "zerophthalmia,
Is present in milk. Vitamin B,
without which we lose our appe-
tite and find our resistance to
infection lowered, is also found in
milk. Milk does not supply bulk,
however, and contains very little
iron or Vitamin c. so that it
must be supplemented by other
foods such as whole grain cereals,
eggs, fruits, raw vegetables, and
green vegetables, which supply
these necessary elements.
In nutshell. milk is pro
tectiVe" food, safeguarding the
body against deficiencies of many
sorts when it is used in the
proper amounts. "One quart of
milk day for children and at
least one pint for adults" is not
merely slogan, but good, sound
advice!
rs buying one quart of milk
for each child and one pint for
each adult an extravaganza when
the food budget is moderator" 1t
Is not an extravaganza on any
sort of food budget! Milk builds
health. Milk maintains health.
Milk helps prevent expense from
illness. Therefore, buying milk is
an economy, not an extravaganza.

Blind Date

face out of her mind, she unused and then.
He hadn't wanted to see her again. When men
wanted to see you, they could find way.

About what had happened at the store Maize
said nothing. She didn't ask Dotty to come to
see her, or tell where she was working. She
paid the check and said goodbye. That was
that
Dotty turned away, little gropingly Maize
didn't know where Mr.. Cort was. And it was
only through Mr. Cort that she could find Dom
aid. And Donald thought she a secretary.
Maybe he had asked for her and found out
who she was. If he had perhaps he had been
so surprised that he didn't want to have any
thing to do with her again. Or maybe he
would rather she had told him the truth than
deceived him. 1t was all such a whirl that her
head started to ache, and she went home to
think about it some more, lying on her cot in
her lonely ROOM
The rent was due She heard the landlady
coming up the stairs, and lay very quiet II
the woman didn't hear her maybe she would

scarcely have enough left to live on until she
found work.

The Theory and Practice of -Sng-ByR Richard ConneH

TREE SITTING has at the moment,
dominant position in the world of sport.
but it has some competition from other related
sports which appeal to the same sort of athlete
who has taken up tree-sitting in a big way.
Flag-pole sitting is enjoying mild vogue, but
is considered snobbish, because of the scarcity
of poles Sitting on roofs, silos, steeples and
monuments has some adherents, but is deemed
more effeminate and less thrilling than tree
sitting. Front-porch chair-rocking is popular
among elderly persons. And there are signs
that marathon dancing endurance bicycle rid

sections where trees are scarce and all the more
