MILK CONSUMPTION

Like other products of the farm, milk and cream
have suffered decline in price during the last three
four years, with the result that dairymen and
small producers have had difficulty in marketing
these products at price which would pay the cost
of production.
An official of the Department of Agriculture has
pointed out that the encouragement of greater
of milk would benefit both the producers and the pub
lie. The per capita consumption of milk in the Unit
ed States is much lower than in several other coun
tries.
Although much valuable work has been done by
health authorities, home demonstration agents and
associations in the direction of edu
eating the public to the nutritive value of milk and
milk products, still far less milk than would
be good for This applies to adults well to
children.
By drinking extra pint of milk day nearly
everyone might enjoy personal benefits in addition
to aiding most worthy national industry.

Growth More Important
Than Normal Weight
Many Healthy Children VIII Never
Achieve Normal Weight,
Doctors Say

st. Paul, Sept. 12-If Johnnie
comes home from school with the
news that he is seven pounds und-
er weight this September, do not, on
that account, set out to stuff poor
Johnnie.
The Public Health Education
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association so advises
mothers of the skinny youngsters
today.
Weight by itself doesn't mean so
very much, according to the As
ISOLATION committee which favors
the routine weighing of school chill
dren. Increase in weight is the i'm
portant factor to be considered
rather than weight as compared
with an average standard for the
child's height and years.
Many healthy children are NOV
ed to anxious scrambling and
|stuffing because they do not and
perhaps never will achieve the So
called normal" weight level for
their age and height" the doctors
declare. Others who do register
normal weight or above are falsely
satisfied with their physical condi-
tion, while actually they may be
undernourished and generally und-
er par"
General body build, nationality,
family inheritance must all be TAX
en- into consideration when estimat-
ing as to whether given child is
actually underweighc. Children Of
small bones, coming of a small ma
tive stock, just naturally can't come
up to the arbitrary standards set
for an average of normal american
children. It is unfair to them to in
sist upon such a standard or to
hold it up to them as very desir-
able attainment.
weight taking in school is use
full, If it is done regularly. Then it
is possible to check whether or not
the child is growing, a much more
safe index Or whether he is in a
healthy physical condition. A heal
thy child does increase in height
and weight. If he does not grow
then something is wrong which re-
|quires investigating.
Comparison with the normal
weights for the child's age and size
Is useful, too, to determine within
very broad limits what child's
weight should be. Thus if he is Is
to 20 pounds under the average for
his age and size the margin of var
iation is too great and somebody
should investigate into the cause of
such a variation. Similarly he may
be strikingly overweight, a condi-
ton which is equally serious and
needs attention.

OF WHAT BENEFIT is THE FEDERAL LAND
BANK TO THE FARMER?

st.
floods the offices of the rural newspapers with prpoa
ganda in endeavor to impress the public with the
splendid relief work they doing in refinancing
the farmer VINO is in serious jam in endeavor
to his farm. If the Herald editor is mis-
taken the last statement from the bank said that
100000 had been loaned through the ST. Paul
bank in August.
Judging by the experience applications for relief
have had in the Sank Centre community the Herald
is inclined to the opinion that the newspaper propa-
ganda sent from the st. Paul branch is misead-
ing, to place a very mild conception of it.
The Federal bank has a great follow up system
at least instance the department checking
up certain individual in this community. When the
first visited the city it was found that they
already knew more about the individual than did
the they interviewed. A few days later another
man from the department called and asked for the
same information. On being queired he said he was
checking up the first man.
Jobs must be provided, of course; the more
checkers, the more jobs. The common pepul pay the
bill.
Upon investigation the Herald finds that IS ap-
plications for Federal Land Bank loans have been
sent in Sauk Centre, and more than 100 from
Long Prairie
The same investigation shows that to date no
loans have been completed in the Sank Centre or
Long Prairie
With the applications from Sank Centre $1,365
have been sent to the Federal Land Bank as re-
quired by regulation.
The Federal Land Bank has declined to make
the for the reason it is understood that the
loans asked for excessive.
If the Herald is correctly informed the Federal
of lands in the years 1911914 With that valuation
a basis the loans asked for from this territory
decidedly not excessive AS matter of fact they
not excessive at present valuations
The Herald, of course, is Republican newspa-
per- The Herald is also backing President Roose-
velts administration to the limit
The Herald presumes that the Federal Land
Bank at st. Paul, under present conditions, would
not function any better under a Republican admin
istraton.
Sometimes the rural editor from the sticks gets
a warped idea of what is transpiring at the head
of things.
The Herald editor wonders if the big fnanciers
of the Twin Cities haven't their finger in the man.
asement of the Federal Land Bank. The President
of the ST. Paul Federal Land Bank, taking his form
er utilization yard stick, would rather lead to
this conclusion.
Much has been said and written about the pres
ent administration bringing the agricuturist out of
the slough of financial despond The accomplish
ment to date has been increased price of what
the farmer must buy with only slight increase in
the price of what he produces
Isn't it about time for the Federal Land Bank
to quit playing politics and favores and furnish
lief where it is most needed?

of Young America his brought to abrupt
stop, throwing him violently forward, the glass of
his windshield breaking. Upon investigation he
found that two wires from line alongside had been
knocked down, stretching the windshield
of his and the other the front fender He
presumed the wires were those from telephone line
and disengaged them by hand from the that
he could proceed. The wires proved to be from
power line carrying sufficient voltage to have cleo
trocuted him. Evidently it not his time to die,
for the wires had not thrown his into the ditch
and the impact of the had broken them, saving
him from electrocution when he touched them.

Miss Delano was wearied in spirit and ex-
hausted in body and mind and she faced the
task Of making an official visit to the over
seas hospitals Of the A. E. F. with none Of
her accustomed enthusiasm. On the eve Of
her sailing for France she replied to a friend
quizzically inquiring why her uniform was not
adorned with some of the many decorations
with which she had been honored: What do
those ribbons mean to me? All want is the
love OF the nurses"
How lavishly that love was poured out,
mingling with the honors and tributes of the
people under every flag that had profited by
her unstinteS devotion is one of the proudest
records of the American Red Cross. In the
official History Of the American Red Cross
Nursing" are chronicled the details Of Miss
Deano's last days; of how she was stricken in
the line of duty in France; Of how her splen-
did constitution prolonged the struggle for
